  1. Love this from Steve Kerr on Pod Save America: ""Circumstances dictate whether people need to be outspoken or not." 

     

    He and Popovich set a really strong example. Way to go, NBA coaches!

  7. USWNT 1-0 England to take the 2018 #SheBelieves Cup! Way to go! :D

      It's a bit ironic that this is the next status after Teach's  status about the possible issues facing a former athlete of the opposite gender of the players they're coaching, with little or no relevant experience, and being scrutinized for it. I know it's too early to tell if Neville is a good hire or not, but it seems to be working out so far.

      I dunno...yes, they won, and it's great, but the offense has looked more than suspect these past few matches, and I honestly haven't been the biggest fan of Ellis' body of work with the USWNT. 

       

      I just hope they get stuff together the next year or so, since World Cup is coming up in 2019.

      I think men coaching women's sports is actually really common. I had to look up who you were talking about, though :P

       

      Hey, I'm just happy to see a W here. Last year they ended up in last place. And there are some really exciting young players coming up for the next generation of stars (Pugh runs so hard!) What can I say, my fandom is pretty uncritical.

  8. What :o "Thousands join independence-day parade organized by youth movement seeking ethnically pure Poland"

    It's a mad, mad world.

      With that said we were told not to post political things here and if I remember it was to result in a ban...soooooo...mods?

    3. Excel

      Excel

      So when we see something wrong, unjust, or otherwise unethical we shouldn't speak about it until it actually hurts people?

       

      You can do whatever you like but no, I do not think that we should do anything above speaking on it because "it" isn't much of a thing. 

       

      What is unjust or unethical? Nothing has been done.

       

      Conservative and patriotic Poles have marched and joined together in revelry on Independence Day for decades now. These marches have always had a right leaning tilt and this year some Nazis showed up and hijacked it not unlike how anarchists will often hijack left-leaning protests.  Painting this as some kind of "~60,0000 Nazi March" is disingenuous and false. 

       

      What do you want? These people to stop celebrating because Nazis are around? You want them to assault the Nazis? You want the police to arrest or segregate the Nazis? Those options all sound quite Nazi-ish and would be unjust, wrong, and unethical. In a democracy you have to hear people you disagree with, even when those people have some really outlandish and offensive things to say. You beat them through discourse, not violence or silence so if anything seeing people from a broad spectrum of beliefs duking it out relatively peacefully in Poland is a good thing. 

       

      Of course the policies these people want are bad. I don't like them, they wouldn't be good but they'll never become a thing because there are very very few of these people - in the hundreds within Poland itself with maybe a few thousand associates and they're mostly dumb eastern kids trying to be edgy. 

       

      Media in the West and in Russia has a vested interest in smearing Poland and PiS with this Nazi label. The West wants Poland to back off of its anti-refugee stance and Russia wants to paint any Nationalist group (which are almost always anti-Russia) in a former SSR as Fascist as they have done in Ukraine. It's the same brush with which they paint all rebel groups as ISIS or Al-Qaeda in Syria, it's easier for them to sell what they're doing in those countries if they're crusading against the obvious bad guys.

      Typing the word 'mod,' 'admin' or some other variation doesn't bring stuff to our attention. :thumbs

       

      That said, this is probably better served for the P&R forum. Locking.

      Pretty sure RKIII has one of the fastest QB runs in Nebraska history after seeing the catch.

  11. Damn, Lebron. That may have been a stupid question, but what kind of driven NBA superstar who just lost a game in the Finals giggles and covers his hand with his mouth to whisper in response to a cheapshot?

      he prefaced by answering his own question. he basically asked, "your defense and offense have been bad, why are you playing bad?"

    3. Hoosker

      Hoosker

      Like I said, his wording was the stupid part. I believe he wanted to know what Lebron felt was the biggest factor to them losing the game, the offense or the defense, which isn't a stupid question at all.

    4. sd'sker

      sd'sker

      yeah. i get that. but it is a complicated question with a simple answer. they just have not been playing well enough and the spurs are a good team. but you are right. the wording is what makes is a "stupid question".

  12. Frank Caliendo's practice speech as Morgan Freeman gives me so much joy:

  13. HA! Wes Welker mentions feet eleven times in presser about NYJ-NE matchup.

      SMH...yeah, he's showing his age, but frankly, you need a vet that's been there to help from the bench sometimes. Don't agree with the move...
