Who cares about the Knights.
Vegas is the best-run franchise in professional sports. It's amazing what they've accomplished in a short timeline, and their overall commitment to excellence is second-to-none.
Imagine firing a championship-winning coach before the playoffs, just to install a short-term fix in pursuit of another Cup.
The Ravens, set for the playoffs, fire John Harbaugh in week 16 to hire Bill Parcells. That's not far from what the Knights did. It's incredible.

As close to a homerun as could be. Deep in-state ties. Strong recruiting. Will be bringing quality assistants with him.
What Ray Tanner did to the program he took to the mountaintop is unforgivable. With a little luck, SC will be back in Omaha soon. Been far too long since I cared about June baseball.

What we see here is a classic case of envy.
A local doctor is the franchisee for the B&M store in my town. His whole doc's office is outfitted with built Legos. Good dude.
I have to wonder what he thinks about this mess. He's very active at his shop on the weekends, and is a legit fanboy. If I'm a franchisee, I'm seriously looking at a lawsuit against corporate for damaging the brand. They're run by a bunch of absolute jackasses. The local franchisee (however decent they may be) likely can't avoid being tied to this story. Value of the business has to have dropped like a rock.

I'm genuinely not a racist person. But I have a painfully low Indian tolerance, because cultural values are so out of whack. Hindu culture doesn't have much to say about the universal dignity and respect of all life. Hindu culture also has a "get what you can" level of scam to it. No thanks. If importing Indians solved a problem, India itself would be paradise.

The flesh is gone, like normal body decay?
Yes, but normal body decay is highly subjective based on climate and conditions.
Skeletonization can take days in some places, months in others, and years in still more.
Skeletonization is usually tied to scavengers picking bones clean, and assisting basic rot and insect activity. That there isn't evidence of larger scavengers, and yet still Skeletonization, is somewhat atypical. Not enough to raise suspicion, but enough to be an interesting footnote.

That's interesting. I had thought orthodox churches were rather traditionally unwelcoming to "converts." I don't mean that in a disparaging fashion, I just kind of thought it was one of their "things."
Two of the most prominent Ortho priests publicly, DeYoung and Fr Josiah Trenham, are both converts.
Orthodoxy welcomes conversion. But their process for confirmation is a good bit different than the Catholic church. There are classes, but it's not as structured as RCIA is. It's more about personal relationships and apprenticeship. Truly, discipleship. I've looked into the Orthodox church in my area, and most of the parish is converted, including the priest.
I was raised as a traditional southern baptist protestant. There's a lot I love about the Catholic church. There's a lot I love about the Orthodox church. Someone once said that, during the schism, the Church split into the Head (the Caholic church - the intellectual side), and the Heart (the Orthodox church- the more spiritual side). I think about that a lot.
I'm not a very good protestant. I think the Orthos and the Catholics get far more correct in their Theology, which is really very closely aligned - outside of a few issues.

going to have to give that a listen. my youngest is suddenly interested in the Bible and Bible stories. And while I certainly have a basic understanding from the scripture and what I was taught in Sunday School, it’s always great to have that extra context locked and loaded when he inevitably has 6 follow-up questions.
He's been doing Lord of Spirits for a few years now, and it's my go-to for long road trips. He's forgotten more than I'll ever know, but he has a spirit of humility, and is patient with his explanations. Sometimes he dives into such minutiae that I have to pause and restart a few times. But man, his overall demeanor and knowledge is mindblowing.
Check out his LoS episode on The Land of Giants. I've listened to it at least 4 times. He gets into what Giants were, and what the Nephilim are. I'm almost certain that episode is what got him on the TC show, as that's kinda where they launch this episode. He discusses the rituals used to make kings in the ancient world.
Finally, DeYoung really opened my eyes to the concept of thr Spiritual World being far more nuanced and real than the Physical World. He's probably top-5 in guys I'd really like to have a beer with.

Laffy is where the Catholic priests abusing young boys was busted wide open.
DeYoung isn't catholic. He's orthodox. But I think he was raised as a Presbyterian.
He has an excellent podcast called The Lord of Spirits, where he dives deeply into Biblical stories, and provides context into what was happening in the world based off of archeological research and other texts.
He's a brilliant, brilliant man. I've learned a ton from listening to his show.

While the easy answer is "muh Boomers," the more accurate answer how varying catalysts came together to influence them along with how they appealed to Boomers.
I don't think anyone is blaming Boomers. This stuff started before they had any level of institutional control. They were also raised all around the cold war brutalism of things, and as such, didn't really pay attention to it. It's the fish in water scenario.
Younger generations are going through something of a Renaissance, where they see what their people once were, and are starting to gravitate towards it. It'll be interesting to see what Zoomer and Alpha architects start building when they're fully of age.

Probably doesn't get the recognition it should in this respect, but if there is a school that is large P4 school that completely dominates a major city in almost every conceivable way and is actually in the city, it is UW in Seattle.
Absolutely. UW is Seattle. I have family out there, and the amount of stuff that they do through and around UW is honestly pretty impressive.
It definitely fits the mold of Urban campus where the school is 100% ingrained with the community.

I'm not sure I understand your point. GT is absolutely in Atlanta - it's smack in the middle of the west side of Midtown. And GT is in the ACC, which is considered P4. Or are you saying that Atlanta isn't an urban city?
I'm really turned around here.

solid fall back options with Sabins/Meade/Fitgerald.
Meade is my No. 2. Been successful, done more with less, has experience within the program.
I just don't know if the fanbase will see it as The Failure if Schnall doesn't get closed.
If it happens, it's as good a hire as could be made.
SC is exhausted with the mediocrity in baseball. They have a strong desire to be respectable again, and Schnall may just be the guy to get them back there.
If Donati doesn't close this, though, we risk a serious Bobby Cremins Pt2 situation. Not sure who the fallback option would be.

re: Falcons reach 4 year $141 million extension with Drake London

Seems absurdly high. London is an excellent receiver, and brings a tremendous blocking ability and attitude to the team. Not a me-first guy.
He's also been very productive with mediocre QB play.
