  1. "It's no joke. It's rope, Tuco."
  2. Coolest man ever turned 95 eight days ago. No one can touch it.
  3. Mia Scott reminds me of Sade.
  4. Nietzsche had a complete white head, which is unusual for a border collie. He could take multiple word commands consistently. Border collies can take commands every second consecutively all day long. He took multiple commands at once " "Get back and look..." "Find girl, come back..."
  5. Walker Wolf best tracking dog I ever had, but I can't give him a command to track what. Coondogs don't take commands. They go and that's it. Favorite dog was a border collie I named Nietzsche who would get the mail for me. He'd find my keys when I told him. Unfortunately he couldn't herd well. Strange. He was weak on the push. Never understood it. I'd give him two repetitions on anything and he could do it. Mail, diapers, keys, frisbees, boy literally tried to figure out anything I wanted and did it as far as an intelligent dog could. Bought him for 100 in Los Lunas, New Mexico in September 1998 day before he turned six weeks old. Came to me first when I called the puppies in the litter and I took him. He was in my lap when Rickey killed the Aggies in November 1998. Never experienced another being like him.
  6. Don't get me wrong. Border Collie Gael is probably the best dog I've ever had. Smarter than a whip. Responds instantly to everything I command. Thinks on her own. Gathers stock from a mile. She doesn't track.
  7. Went again this morning before dawn. Saw nothing but does and fawns. Gonna get me some curs and train em up.
  8. Most trial lawyers don't understand larger constitutional principles. They worry about juries and who feels what. There aren't juries at the federal appellant level. This decision doesn't mean anything other than past players get money. Apply common sense rules to your employment. Does anyone have the right to deny your ability to make money through marketing deals? No. There's not a limit on marketing deals for pro athletes. The fact that most of these "deals" are brokered by colleges doesn't change that they are legally third party deals. That can't be legally limited. Judge didn't say it could.
  9. Another way to describe the cap nonsense talk is that idiot reporters repeat what they're told by the NCAA and universities don't know what they're talking about. Professional sports can have a "cap" because they have employees who agree to conditions of employment. This hasn't happened in college sports. This "settlement" has nothing to do with that. The SEC making their member schools agree to refrain from legally challenging the "settlement" doesn't mean anything. The individual players will legally challenge the limit on compensation, not the schools. Being a college sport or school doesn't exempt you from constitutional law. That's what the 2021 Supreme Court decision that allowed NIL clearly stated. Before that, there wasn't a federal court case that addressed the billion make in college sports.
  10. Video won't clear it up because the guys who make videos don't understand the foundational principles of free market capitalism or constitutional law. You need to study the Supreme Court decision that legalized NIL. That decision clearly stated that the NCAA and their member institutions can't prevent anyone from earning anything. The only way to establish a limit on compensation is through an employment agreement. For some reason these idiots won't acknowledge that people who generate revenue are employees. You can avoid that legally, but then you can't limit their monetary opportunities for the service they provide that generates the revenue. I don't understand the deal here. It's really pretty simple.
  11. Most ball chasing fans are dumber than dirt. Media says cap. Goobers repeat it. There's no constitutional way to deny compensation without a contract between the payer and the payee. No current college player has signed such an agreement with the NCAA or the institution for which they play. They have marketing deals called NIL. You can't just assign a third party to limit that. There's nothing in this court decision that mentions that. Judge doesn't care about that. Not her business.
  12. You can't legally have a "cap" without an employment agreement. There's nothing in the settlement that says otherwise. Wouldn't matter if it did. Only thing this "settled" was past compensation. Judge isn't deciding on future compensation. You can't legally do that.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. Countdown until the federal courts throw out the limits on NIL payments.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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,.
  22. Bird would have never lost if you let him shoot unmolested.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
