How about 3 coaches in the span of 14-15 years? The expectation of something close to one 8 or 9 win season in 4-5 years is the expectation at every P5 school in America. Name a school/coach in the last 25 years who didn't get fired without something close to that in 4 years?

To be clear he described it as a tic-tac/pill "shape", not size

Not saying you're wrong, but SR-71, the stealth fighter, and predator drones all still use fuel and an engine that generates thrust and acceleration. If (possibly a big if, who knows) the accounts of many military personnel who have seen these things are reliable, many of them have no thermal readings, no exhaust, and have no momentum or acceleration when they move. That makes it unique and hard to imagine it's just further down the line of refining technology and is something completely different.

Do you think these are the same thing? If so, no need to say one and not the other....go ahead and say it if you think they're the same. I look at the politics stuff it seems tiresome but at least more cordial or adult than this. Don't know what a smack board is.

This is the yikesiest thread.

Not sure if the team is that bad, or I've stopped paying attention, or both, but it's not a good sign that I haven't heard of almost everyone on this list so far.

What makes Ed Stewart a good candidate besides having played here? I see he's some associate director of something for the Big XII... is he good at his job? The Big XII hasn't done anything impressive since there stopped being 12 members as far as I understand, but I'm sure there's plenty I don' tknow.

That's because the rule uses the word 'egregious'. There's nothing 'egregious' about the difference between 11:51 and 11:52 in the second quarter. I don't think so man. Seems obvious to everyone in the world except a small minority of our fans that that ball hit a railing with at least 1 second left.

And what if it turns out that birds actually aren't real and have been government drones the entire time? jk, that's been common knowledge for at least 3 years.

The things that David Fravor and the like encountered would be hard to chalk up as from various governments. He described a tic-tac like object with no heat signature or heat venting (it was hovering) that went from something like 30,000 ft above the ocean to 80 ft above the ocean almost instantaneously, with no acceleration or deceleration. Best way I can imagine something like that would be a generation defining breakthrough of harnessing gravity or something, which it seems we're very far away from and would be tough to keep a secret.

I'll take the minus. You give them too much credit - they're not out to get us, they're just incompetent.

Celebrity is already a sort of prison on its own in some respects. Can't imagine being legally unable to make the choices you want to make in your personal life.

The girl next to him is googling "Who is Taylor Martinez?"

The University of Michigan Library just released a bunch of digitized film from the 30s-60s. Here's 1962 Nebraska vs Michigan, Bob Devaney's first big win in his first year here. https://bentley.mivideo.it.umich.edu/media/t/1_1d438svk

I believe it was. The following was added in 2007 or 2008. People can argue about the definition of egregious, but by the time you get there you're grasping for straws. "ARTICLE 6. No other plays or officiating decisions are reviewable. However, the replay official may correct egregious errors, including those involving the game clock, whether or not a play is reviewable. This excludes fouls that are not specifically reviewable (Reviewable fouls: Rules 12-3-2-c and -d, 12-3-4-b and -e, and 12-3-5-a)."

That's a level 1 violation punishment? What is level 3 punishment? Having an FBI agent tell you, "you've been a very bad boy"?

Objective facts used to be at least as powerful if not the most powerful factor important at influencing public opinion. That era in human history is over. Objective fact is now far, far behind emotion, feelings, "my truth", tribe protection, etc. in power to persuade. I know this isn't the politics forum so I won't spend any time on it but you even have Presidents and parts of their teams using a legal defense of, "Obviously my lies don't count as lies because they are so ridiculous no reasonable person would believe them", even though that's why they say them in the first place.

If social media is the street, then they are definitely designing the street for accidents to happen, for people to stay on the street watching other accidents and causing accidents themselves, and then want to be the hero saying, "We have to stop all these accidents!" But yeah, humans are responsible too - it's just a losing battle for most individuals to win out over teams of billionaire geniuses who learned how to hijack and manipulate their brains.

Sounds like a terrible, awful idea... Social media needs to accept the fact that they ushered us into a post-truth era and their products aren't useful without it. Facebook already puts 'learn more about covid' type of banners on the bottoms of posts/pictures of mine that have NOTHING to do with covid. Automating and regulating themselves into irrelevancy.

"Nowhere else in America can businesses get away with not paying a fair market rate..." Is it just me or is that quote not true at all? All sorts of businesses in America get away with that all the time.

Doc Rivers seems like a stand-up guy and I've always liked him as a man, but never understood how lucky he's been as a coach. Seems to fail upwards more than someone like Lane Kiffin. I remember them cutting between the huddles of the Lakers/Celtics huddles in the Finals either 2008 or 2010. Phil Jackson was scheming X's and O's and directly addressing certain behavioral things, while Rivers was just saying things like, "ya know you guys, if you want it enough we'll be able to get this one." Seemed very pedestrian for a coach of an NBA team in the Finals.

Good weekend for us

He's just a sophomore?! So 15-16 years old? Did he flash a crayon written birth certificate by chance? Holy smokes.

He doesn't belong in the conversation. Being the greatest is different than being the best. It takes an alpha predator psyche that KD has never had.

Heard he's moving on to Rivendell Technical Institute
