There's no way this is real. The insults and racial stuff are so on-the-nose and absurd. Like Jussie Smollett with the "This is MAGA Country" line

The dialogue literally sounds like dirty talk only a guy would come up with.

Yesterday in my subdivision here in the Houston area, next to the little park with the swingset there were some Indian kids showing a white kid how to swing a cricket bat.

So really, considering black people make up the overwhelming majority of draft picks, and particularly the SEC draft picks, the states with the highest percentage of black people have a big advantage when looking at per capita draft picks.

Theoretically, Mississippi should produce the highest number of draft picks per capita, followed by a tie between Louisiana and Georgia.

Percentage of population that is black:

Mississippi: 37%
Louisiana: 32%
Georgia: 32%
Alabama: 27%
Florida: 17%
Texas: 13%

The penalty for the luxury tax isn't steep enough.

That is not true at all. The tax is compounding. Sure, plenty of teams pay it one year. Some even do it twice. But more than that is so expensive that rarely do teams ever do it.

Also, the luxury tax is only in place to re-sign your own players. You can’t go over it to sign a free agent. It’s a buffer to allow teams to not have to get rid of guys because of the cap.

Do y’all know why this chart was made? Because it’s been a big story in the news over there recently when it was discovered that the UK would be the poorest U.S. state. They can’t believe that the UK is poorer than Alabama, and they’re feeling pretty shitty about it over there.

So someone, I assume from the UK, made this chart to make their British compatriots feel better.

Fencing seems so easy.

The ones with Doug have grown on me. You’re telling me you didn’t find it funny when he was parachuting down to the 50 yard line and missed his mark and parachuted into an RV in the parking lot then dusted himself off and said “I’ll get us tickets”?

So why are they changing the name back to Reliant? What’s the reason?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. It’s just the opposite. The Big 10 can only compete when they pay players because the best talent naturally resides in the South and they naturally went to SEC schools before it was legal to pay players.

Now that players are paid, the best players go wherever they are paid rather than go to an SEC school.

Also, before the transfer portal, there was so much talent in the South that the best SEC schools were two and three deep at every position. Now with the transfer portal, SEC backups go elsewhere to start, thus weakening SEC teams, and it’s a double whammy if they transfer to a Big 10 school.

In other words, Big 10 can only compete with these new rules that move the natural talent in SEC country elsewhere.

So Dumars is going to sacrifice long-term winning for short-term mediocrity. Just absolutely moronic.

Yes everyone loved seeing automatic outs.
