  1. too much foolish wagering going on in this society. When you give people incentive to manipulate these odds...
  2. Steve Kemp's unshaven baseball card picture fit the mental model I always had of LFers that I got from some comedic Baseball Digest article in my distant youth. Not athletic enough to be in CF. Don't have the arm strength to be in RF. Basically, a lazy under-achiever.
  3. My model for the Trump cult is what would the anti-Christ i learned about in Sunday school be doing that he's isnt?
  4. TDS is a tool of control. Screw anyone who uses it. They should be shunned as shills for the regime.
  5. while insisting that his supplicants praise him for the colors of the flames.
  6. re: Susie Wiles, you can really see the Pat Summerall dna.
  7. Coaching and culture matters more at the lower tiers to get to 9 win seasons. Eventually a coach and culture can move a program into the higher tiers. If the rich demi-god (maybe an Emir's son from the Persian Gulf, maybe one of Musk's kids) decides he wants to go to the University of Neverwin and that demi-god decides that Mount Olympus should imbue the program with resource, well the opportunity now is wide open for that to happen. It probably needs to be reigned in to produce a sustainable system. Its broke now though.
  8. The irony with the Trump attack on Rob Reiner is that Trump's own kids will be the ones who see him off this mortal coil when they pull the plug on him to expedite their inheritances.
  9. Yeah, it is literally impossible to win a natty at Michigan and we can't recruit any talent. Money situation is desperate. We keep losing NIL battles to...who exactly?
  10. I'm glad some posters for these GDT are posting during the games because otherwise I'd be worried they were off somewhere strapped with TNT ready to blow up a public place.
  11. A real out-of-left-field name would have been Steve Kemp.
  12. Yeah, Nixon had checks on him at the end. This is bad.
  13. I mean, Jesus couldn't rely on his disciples in the Garden to stay awake. You going to ask a bunch of citizens who stand to lose their tax breaks to turn their backs on their meal ticket?
  14. I mean if he were to show grace even once it would shatter the egos of his followers who are more about the destructive power of the Presidency than noblesse oblige, the sustainment of positive values, or the progress of the human species out of Hobbesian despair.
  15. So, who will step up and defend Trump over this?
  16. Didn't mean to invoice your time :--) I glanced at the Sheerer piece and it does look like what you say.
  17. BTW, when I did a search for "RFK JR Puff Piece" i got a bunch of hits on NY Times. Not sure if that was what you meant Edman.
  18. Which one of these was it? https://www.theatlantic.com/search/?q=rfk+jr
  19. Lots of lovely propaganda out there that we have the top 4 candidates that people are interested in who have interviewed or are in the process of interviewing. Maybe this will be a blessing if Sherrone Moore was flirting with OF models at halftime of The Game.
  20. For those who are looking for the home of the Washington Post talent who fled Bezos' attempt to turn it into a mouthpiece for his own interests. The Atlantic appears to be where a significant number of them have landed. Alexandra Petrie whom the haus frau used to read to me all the time chuckling appears to be there now.
  21. The videos he posted of himself of him dropping feces on the citizens of the United States, were they real?
  22. Remember the Big12 before they got sold off for parts? A lot of guys made a ton of money on bogus loans using the resources of the Big12 as collateral. It couldn't be helped. A lot of kids were taking college on line and AI rendered the football programs irrelevant.
  23. MSU, PSU and OSU went through some similar things as UM has here. If the model for each were applied all at once: MSU: Huge, crippling to the school, payday to Moore. PSU: Beloved institutional role model figure is dragged hard by the scandal. Not sure who that would be for Michigan as Bo has already been dragged by Anderson scandal. Maybe Carl Grapenstein? OSU: Moore elected to congress.
