  1. They're making billions, and they think the people who generate the revenue need to have artificial limits placed on their monetary compensation so they can manipulate the market. Were these people born in Russia in 1917? You can make them employees without unionization. Most of the workers in the US don't belong to a union. There's no necessity for unionization because it's sports. Make them employees and negotiate pay. That's capitalism.
  2. It's mind boggling to me that the NCAA thinks they can put a third party entity that they hire and control to decide what is and isn't "fair market value" for marketing deals. It's truly bizarre. The Supreme Court has already warned them not to come back asking for protection. They're hoping for federal legislation, but that won't pass judicial review either. Only thing dumber than this in world history I can think of is the Nueces as the border of Texas in 1845.
  3. Took a professional sport that was a beautiful blend of athleticism, technical skill and power, removed the requisite power and man defensive skill elements, thereby reducing it to a European Rec league. There's still some skill and athleticism, but without the power element combined with man defense, it's too flat and one dimensional.
  4. Game 1 of the NBA Finals averaged a 4.7 rating and 8.91 million viewers, making it the lowest rated Game 1 of the Finals since ratings began. A lot of that is the markets involved, but most of it is the way the game is now played. It's boring to watch a jump shooting contest over and over. Go back to man rules and cut the nonsense.
  5. Probably a legal challenge before the football season starts. An injunction will be granted. Court cases then until the NCAA decides to stop trying to limit compensation for players they refuse to make employees.
  6. Countdown until the federal courts throw out the limits on NIL payments.
  7. Anyone who plays high school football in Texas and then chooses to play for the criminals deserves to be excommunicated from the state of Texas forever. A-holes cheat and steal. Anyone who plays for them cheat and steal. Gotta treat them like the criminals they are.
  8. Bird shot and raised his hand before it went in because he knew it was going in. Man called his shot and he knew it was going down. Knew it because he didn't miss. Made me mad at the time. Didn't change the fact he made shots. No Euro pansy today close to Bird.
  9. Watch Bird in three point contests, Shot about 80 percent. SOB didn't miss. That's not man rules defense basketball. You body him off the ball and wear him down. Can't do that now. Every post player bodied off the ball then,.
  10. Bird would have never lost if you let him shoot unmolested.
  11. Didn't say you couldn't play man against Mikey, Changed the rule for Shaq and Kobe. Gerry thinks it great because he loves watching Curry shoot threes. That's pansy basketball.
  12. Watch the 1985 and 1987 Finals. Celtics couldn't guard Kareem and Worthy one on one. That's why the Lakers won those series. Same thing with the Spurs v Lakers 2001. That's why the pansies voted to change the rules so you didn't have to play man defense. "We can't stop Kobe and Shaq. We gotta change the rules" Now we have European pansy rules than fans won't watch. I won't watch pansies either.
  13. Can't crowd the lane if the rule is you have to play man. Watch the Laker v Sixers 1979. Couldn't crowd the lane. No post play now. Had post play then. Great skilled post play. Kareem sky hooking. Daryl Dawkins dunking. Couldn't clog the lane with zone putzes. That's why Kareem could work the post and shoot.
  14. Took my my mother to see Dances with Wolves 29 November 1990 in Longview, TX.
  15. Only German song to ever be number one in the US. Learned German when I was 19 in 1990.
  16. Bird from three point line could shoot 70 percent without being touched. Lakers literally held him nonstop. Of course, Celtics mauled Kareem and Worthy too. McHale literally close lined Rambis in the 1984 NBA Finals and all he got was a foul. Pansies today can't man up to that.
  17. Bird with the rules of today would be unstoppable. Let him shoot without being touched; let him move without being able to body him; he'd literally dominate. Current Euro pansies wouldn't be anything compared him. Against the Lakers in the 80s he couldn't match up. That's why NBA basketball sucks now.
  18. Jules. Pulp Fiction. 1994. Putzes don't matter.
  19. Missed a big sow at about 60 feet. Scattered. I suck.
  20. Heading to the bottom with Gael, Anatolian wolf dog Bear, American Bulldog Buster, and tracking coondog Wolf. That's quite an advantage, but that what you think about in advance. Had to work and train these boys and girls. Gonna get some meat.
  21. She's a smooth coat, prick eared, weird girl. Got five crosses back to Wiston Cap and Thomas' Don. She's four and she won't breed, meaning she won't stand when in heat. I don't get it. But I'm not forcing anything. She gets what she wants.
  22. Border collie Gael sitting in my lap. About to go huntin. She the best. I've had many good ones.
  23. To be clear, Bird wasn't as good with man rules at Kareem, Magic, Mikey, Wilt, or Kobe. But with Euro pansy rules, he couldn't be beat. You let him shoot, move and pass without hindrance and there's no way you stop him. Man could think five steps ahead, but he couldn't defend James Worthy one on one. Give him zone rules, he defend anyone. Man this stuff now sucks. Getting ready to go out for the hogs.
  24. The obstruction call was something. White said the way the rule is written made the call necessary. That's some stuff when you gotta beat the best player and the rules. That said, I don't think I've ever seen a play like Reece Atwood hitting a pitch during an intentional walk.
  25. Time to man up. Lot a rain yesterday. Feral hogs will be running. Gonna try to get two with the dogs and my Rossi 92 in 45 Colt about four this morning. Come back and trade stock until about 10.
