Kyrie is still getting paid for the road games he misses since it's the team's choice to sit him. *smh* The NBAPA should have done the right thing - Krusty Oct 12, 09:13 4
- NBAPA seems to be run by anti-vaxxers -- nm - Beaker Oct 12, 09:14 3
  - Meanwhile, the WNBA is like 99.7% vaxxed. -- nm - Shaun Oct 12, 09:19 2
    - and the NHL are cutting and benching guys who won't do it -- nm - Beaker Oct 12, 09:20 1
      - Puck drop tonight!! But I don't care. Oilers play tomorrow. 11pm. #fml -- nm - Shaun Oct 12, 09:33
Best photos taken by drones -- (link) - mara Oct 12, 09:04 2
- Just saw this one as well -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 12, 09:38
- thanks - those are some great photos -- nm - prayformojo Oct 12, 09:36
and I see Don Jr is already out there defending Gruden out on twitter. -- nm - Jovian Oct 12, 09:02
Nick Suzuki signs 8 year $63M extension with the Habs -- nm* - Beaker Oct 12, 09:01
How I (we?) used to use Facebook is weird -- (pic) - oblique Oct 12, 08:45 [Attachment] 3
- I had a lot of posts like that. I guess it would still be a valid format. -- nm - zunk xometimes Oct 12, 09:17
- It used to have a different input prompt, didn't it? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 12, 08:50 1
  - it did. I get "Memories" every once in a while that are like this. It was all text, pictures were in 'albums.' -- nm - Andie Oct 12, 08:54
Ohh, there's a SpaceX launch while we happen to be in Daytona at a college visit. - spamlet Oct 12, 08:43 2

NLDS Game 4: Braves pitching Morton on short rest. -- nm* - Strongbad Oct 12, 08:35
Gov. Abbott has to be as bad as he can be. Why? This is who he's up against. Men who are even more evil. -- (link) - Qale Oct 12, 08:25 11
- I'm confused. Abbott had a suicide prevention page, and human rights links, and the challenger made him take it down? -- nm - JaxSean Oct 12, 08:29 5
  - His primary challenger. Yesh. -- nm - Qale Oct 12, 08:33 1
    - AH I see. The GOP Challenger is saying "he's sympathetic to LGBTQ+, he's not evil enough!" Got it -- nm - JaxSean Oct 12, 08:38
  - The GOP is a race to the right…any semblance of compassion to LGBT causes is too much so he removed it lest he not be properly conservative. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 12, 08:30 1
    - While GOP primaries are always who can be the worst, Abbott's reactions to them are ending up being codified. It's more dangerous than usual. -- nm - Qale Oct 12, 08:36
  - State money was supporting the GAYS and the TRASNGENDERS by helping them not die, Sean. STATE MONEY!!!!!! -- nm - ty97 Oct 12, 08:30
- Texas, we dont like government telling people what to do, but we will, cause liberals are a disease. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 12, 08:27 4
  - Beto doing as well as he did seems even more amazing now. -- nm - Volnelk Oct 12, 08:32 3
    - Texas isn't as red as the Texas GOP likes to believe. - ty97 Oct 12, 08:36 1
      - Exactly -- nm - Pippy Oct 12, 08:49
    - He ran against Ted Cruz; literally the most unlikable person in DC. His allies hate him. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 12, 08:34
Nail on the head. This seems so hypocritical and nobody will care. -- (link) - Volnelk Oct 12, 08:24 2
- It's hypocritical if you view it through the lens of logic. That's not their lens. Their lens is simply what we want is right and what they want is - pmb Oct 12, 08:32
- As I believe he doesn't really have the power to do that, I think it is just posing for the base. -- nm - crash davis Oct 12, 08:25
Last night Trish announced to me that everyone on La Brea is dead and the dire wolves and sabretooth cats are just sophisticated smoke monsters - crash davis Oct 12, 08:22 3
- They. Weren't. All. Dead. nm - Dean Winchester Oct 12, 08:32 1
  - Fair enough. but the important point is - crash davis Oct 12, 08:54
- Sounds about right. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 12, 08:29
Meanwhile, Ben Simmons is heading back to Philly and the Sixers - decline Oct 12, 08:19 2
- This should be interesting. Doc Rivers' "Daddy Day Care" is open for business. -- nm - Diva Oct 12, 08:23
- incredible -- nm - prayformojo Oct 12, 08:21
"Kyrie will not play or practice with the team until he is eligible to be a full participant" -- (link) - decline Oct 12, 08:11 19
- Is this the company ty97 works for now? -- nm - oblique Oct 12, 08:37
- he's available to suit up for Gruden! -- nm - prayformojo Oct 12, 08:18
- If Kyrie plays more than 30 games, I’ll be surprised -- nm - flavorize Oct 12, 08:14 12
  - If you are allergic to Kyrie, you should not play Kyrie? -- nm - Qale Oct 12, 08:34
  - This is their last, best chance to push him to do the right thing. It's either all or nothing now, I think. - Krusty Oct 12, 08:20 3
    - he's not even worth the amount of typing you just did to describe him. Selfish, selfish, selfish. -- (edited) - Diva Oct 12, 08:30 2
      - You're so right. - Krusty Oct 12, 08:37 1
        
        ha! -- nm - Diva Oct 12, 10:44
  - what can you expect from someone who takes a week off for his sister's birthday? He's the actual worst teammate ever. - Diva Oct 12, 08:20 5
    - Diva…we all know birthdays are a time of reflection. - Will Hunting Oct 12, 08:23 2
      - Yom Kumpleanos. -- nm - Full Size Candy Baron Oct 12, 08:27
      - 😄 -- nm - Diva Oct 12, 08:24
    - Yup. He's supremely talented but so not worth the constant headache he brings. -- nm - Krusty Oct 12, 08:21 1
      - and it was probably more like 'Aw, HAILL NAW!!!'. -- nm - Diva Oct 12, 08:25
  - more time for him to do his own research -- nm - Beaker Oct 12, 08:17
- Good! -- nm - Krusty Oct 12, 08:14
- they must of run this by Durant I would assume. -- nm - Beaker Oct 12, 08:12 2
  - Reports are that the decision was going to be made by Sean Marks(GM), Joe Tsai(owner), Durant and Harden. -- nm - Krusty Oct 12, 08:16 1
    - Did Steve Nash have no say? -- nm - Diva Oct 12, 08:32
Looks like I'm wrong on Eternals. Should be $100+ million or more opening weekend. -- (link) - Inigo Oct 12, 08:04 4
- My wife's reaction to the commercial "So they are all like Superman? Weird." -- nm - Volnelk Oct 12, 08:17 1
  - She should watch again. Only one of them is like Superman. -- nm - Spawn Oct 12, 08:55
- Robb Stark & Jon Snow together again! -- nm - crash davis Oct 12, 08:08 1

Happy birthday SyrDragon -- nm - crash davis Oct 12, 08:01
So with Gruden gone...the NFL has to get rid of Em and Snoop for the half time show right? I'm being serious... - Remlik Oct 12, 07:58 18
- This is how you get Will Smith. No one wants that. - Krusty Oct 12, 08:39 1
  - It's called? Switch' - Spawn Oct 12, 09:00
- Huh? I don't see why. -- nm - Krusty Oct 12, 08:00 11
  - I don't have examples, but Eminem has some pretty homophobic lyrics, iirc. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 12, 08:05 8
    - He does. He also has a song about murdering his wife. Many great artists have songs that have ugly lyrics or themes. - Krusty Oct 12, 08:36
    - That's not new news, though. -- nm - Full Size Candy Baron Oct 12, 08:07 6
      - It's not news, agreed. Remlik's point is why did Gruden need to be forced out, but Em at halftime is a-okay? -- nm* - ty97 Oct 12, 08:09 5
        
        Gruden took aim at the NFL himself with his conduct and is a coach … he literally can’t be the forward facing person of the Raiders - Will Hunting Oct 12, 08:19 1
        
        This is well-put. Much more coherent than the fuzz in my brain. -- nm - Full Size Candy Baron Oct 12, 08:26
        
        Gruden is a piece of crap to be clear. But why is it ok to have him gone, but keep the others to perform? - Remlik Oct 12, 08:18 1
        
        I actually agree with you. It's a bad look all around. -- nm - Dark Callisto Oct 12, 08:24
        
        Fungibility? Gruden himself isn't a draw. That's all I got. -- nm - Full Size Candy Baron Oct 12, 08:18
  - Em is a homophone and terrible about women. Snoop said some crap as well. -- nm - Remlik Oct 12, 08:04 1
    - But this isn't new info. They know they have some questionable lyrics. And no one had an issue with them when they were announced and the majority - Krusty Oct 12, 08:24
- "Gruden resigned, he wasn't fired" there's your PR spin -- nm - ty97 Oct 12, 07:59 3
  - Yeah but nowadays all you need to find are some old tweets or maybe in this case lyrics and it becomes front and center -- nm - eag Oct 12, 08:08 1
    - In this case, there is nothing to find. Eminem is a homophobe, always has been, and society chose to celebrate him anyway. -- nm - ty97 Oct 12, 08:16
  - true. -- nm - Remlik Oct 12, 08:05
another early London game this Sunday. Dolphins vs Jaguars. -- nm - Beaker Oct 12, 07:43 1
- Florida Man visits the UK -- nm - crash davis Oct 12, 07:55
subs not dubs, bitches. -- nm - daddy Oct 12, 07:40 1
- I'm not as passionate as others on this issue, but I default to subs -- nm - Full Size Candy Baron Oct 12, 08:06
HAPPY KRAKEN DAY EVERYBODY!!!!! -- nm - crash davis Oct 12, 07:37 2
- Happy Kraken Day, crash! -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 12, 07:42 1
  - I've got to work on my hockey cheers & jeers, fortunately their division made things easier as both Ducks and Canucks rhyme with sucks. -- nm - crash davis Oct 12, 07:49
This season on Succession, meet the long lost illegitimate sibling who will mount a challenge for the family fortune: Kyndryl Roy -- nm - rollo Oct 12, 07:37 1
- Kyndryl. Take your business to the next level. - ReluctantCynic Oct 12, 07:41
my smart lock died so I am replacing. I lean towards doing front and back doors at same time. my house is 900 SF downstairs so kind of overkill - amanda jeans Oct 12, 07:36 9
- I am a fan of symmetry, so yeah, do both doors -- nm - crash davis Oct 12, 07:40 2
  - thank you for enabling. -- nm - amanda jeans Oct 12, 07:45 1
    - Anything you want enabled, all you gotta do is ask. -- nm - crash davis Oct 12, 07:52
- Did you not watch the Scream trailer? - decline Oct 12, 07:39 3
  - Yeah. It was nice knowing you Amanda. -- nm - Qale Oct 12, 07:54
  - no I am working in my analyst's office today. we are all shell-shocked about resignations so nobody wants to be alone. -- nm - amanda jeans Oct 12, 07:42 1
    - damn you Jon Gruden! -- nm - Beaker Oct 12, 07:46
- $80 with the hardware is ok -- nm - budice Oct 12, 07:37
- I'd do both -- nm - Beaker Oct 12, 07:36
I don’t appreciate Paramount+ removing the “see all” icons on the app making it impossible to view everything they have available on the service. -- nm - Qale Oct 12, 07:32 11
- I don't think comedy is sacrosanct. I do believe some topics can be elegantly handled by thoughtful comedians. I do believe Chapelle's routines - rollo Oct 12, 08:21
- Dude, watching everything at once would blow your mind! -- nm - Spawn Oct 12, 07:57
- With some newer streaming services. You can just notice the amateur-hour implementation -- nm - budice Oct 12, 07:36
- Speaking of - does Paramount+ have a free version? Or is everything on it behind a pay wall? nm - Dean Winchester Oct 12, 07:35 7
  - No. Peacock does, but even they limit what is available on that version, plus ads. -- nm - Qale Oct 12, 07:55
  - I don't think so. I think their cheapest is 4.99/month -- nm* - decline Oct 12, 07:43 5
    - I'm going to take this opportunity to bitch about, if you own all the streaming channels, its as much as cable and not as convenient - Pippy Oct 12, 07:47 4
      - that was always going to happen. And episodic release is smart for them. Keeps you signed up for 2 months instead of 1 -- nm - Remlik Oct 12, 07:55
      - But you also don’t have to just settle for watching ‘whatever is on’ or be concerned by setting up a DVR. -- nm - Qale Oct 12, 07:55
      - I agree about the costs and lack of ability to have it all in one place. See my post on B2. But I want more weekly episodes and less all at once drops - Krusty Oct 12, 07:53
      - word -- nm - decline Oct 12, 07:49
Blood Feud keeper question. Going forward we keep who we want and lose draft picks correct? If I keep 8 players, my first pick is round 9 right? -- nm - Beaker Oct 12, 07:27 9
- I like it. Keep it. -- nm - Shaun Oct 12, 09:08
- I was against the change at first, but now I'm embracing it. I hope it stays. -- nm - samara Oct 12, 08:28
- I'm hoping it stays that way, it sure made things interesting and can lead to some interesting math. -- nm - crash davis Oct 12, 07:42
- That's the rule as I understand it. -- nm - Inigo Oct 12, 07:35
- I thought that was a one time thing -- nm - budice Oct 12, 07:28 4
  - I thought David/Callisto indicated it was permanent -- nm - decline Oct 12, 07:33 1
    - They suggested it might be. I don’t know that a formal edict has been issued. -- nm - znufrii Oct 12, 07:34
  - I'm not sure it was ever a settled question, but I would support the implementation. -- nm - Full Size Candy Baron Oct 12, 07:29 1
    - I grew to like what we did this year (as much as it drove me nuts). I'd like to continue it another year or two at least, just to fully test it. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 12, 07:37
So, do we think Gruden's career is finished? Or will some Division II or III team give him a shot in a few years? - Beaker Oct 12, 07:24 13
- If Mark Davis came to collect his resignation, he’s done in the NFL. Davis *loved* him. I don’t think he’ll find a college job readily given money - Will Hunting Oct 12, 07:47 1
  - It makes it easier when your team is underachieving though to accept his resignation -- nm - eag Oct 12, 07:58
- he could easily become a MAGA super star. But I have to assume he has enough money as is and doesnt need to grift. -- nm - Jovian Oct 12, 07:40 2
  - Since when has that stopped them? - znufrii Oct 12, 07:46 1
    - for a majority of them, its about the $$ -- nm - Jovian Oct 12, 08:24
- I'd like to see Kevin Hart host the Oscars first - I think Gruden is done. My sense is everyone was kinda putting up with him in the first place. - rollo Oct 12, 07:40
- He'll probably run for office. -- nm - mara Oct 12, 07:31 1
  - I agree with mara. - ReluctantCynic Oct 12, 07:36
- Look at Pittino -- nm - eag Oct 12, 07:28
- With the number of racist/homophobic/misogynist places in America? Ha ha, nope. (NM) - Marlowe Oct 12, 07:27
- College ranks -- nm - budice Oct 12, 07:27 1
  - If he wants to, sure. I doubt he wants that. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 12, 08:04
- 23 minutes on the resignation and impact. I like Kevin Clark alot from The Ringer. -- (link) - Beaker Oct 12, 07:26
Tom Brady: 30 comp on 41 attempts; 411 passing yds; 5 TDs; 0 int; 144.4 QB Rating - ReluctantCynic Oct 12, 07:23 4
- I am pretty sure he added Giselle's soul to his deal. -- nm - Spawn Oct 12, 08:57
- I remember when folks around here were saying that his skills were declining. HA!!! -- nm - Diva Oct 12, 07:48
- I'm liking my late round pickup of Fournette more every week. -- nm - Full Size Candy Baron Oct 12, 07:31 1
  - It's like the best of 2019 all over again! -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 12, 07:35
