The DNC removed delegates for an entire state during the primary, they argued in court in 2016 they didn't have to respect the voters as a private company. They've been actively suppressing democracy in primaries ever since Obama skipped the line.

NIL and the transfer portal haven't leveled the field. It's still the haves, the sort of haves and the barely a team schools. About half the playoff teams this year were top 15 or so nil programs. If you count those that won a game, Penn State is the lowest spender, but still in the top 30.

It's a high variability game, so money isn't going to equal wins constantly (see Texas a&m).

Good luck on number 3

Elon musk is great at buying companies that could be promising and getting them to massively grow. It's likely mostly about being able to secure funding, but it's something I guess.

You can picture a clock or a track. If you have one going forward and one backwards, they meet at the halfway point (6), and again at the full lap (12). This happens twice in a day.

If you have one going twice as fast, they only meet when the faster one laps the slower one. The two clocks would be at 3&6, 6&12, 9&6(18), 12&12(24)

Odin is looking good for being a few thousand years old.

No, if you go twice as fast, it would only align with one at 12 and one at 24. It's not about speed, it's about the intersections of forward and backward laps.

It could actually be good for hunting. Most states only require the animal be shot on your property, so that narrow strip could be good if animals move across it regularly.

Lots of people know a broken clock is right twice per day, but many are unaware that a clock running backwards is right 4 times per day.

This seems a bit egregious for a lot, it's just over 50 ft wide and nearly a mile and half long. It looks more like a developer made the "lot" to develop the rest of the nearby homes then managed to get a house built on it.

The rules analyst could be wrong, but according to them on the broadcast the QB is protected through the whole play after an interception.

You'd rather rely on feels and a mythical silent majority?

 

Something needs to be done after the garbage first round of playoffs.

  • No automatic bye for conference champions seems good.

This article stops short of saying the Big12 and ACC should only get one team in, but I'd support that until proven they aren't week conferences.

Strength of schedule needs to be a bigger factor, an 11-1 Indiana never deserved a spot. My ideal default would be 6 SEC, 3 Big10, and the other automatic qualifiers.

 

Now is a great time for if I were there hypotheticals, so here's mine.

Once it was decided to run Harris and push Biden out, they should have gone all the way and used the 25th amendment to let Harris become president. This would have effectively separated her from Biden while still allowing her to take credit for the good stuff. She could have instructed the DOJ to start investigating price gouging now, and campaigned on needing to win to keep it up.

The 100ish days wouldn't have been enough for wholesale replacement, but it could have created a concrete message of this is where I want to go. A campaign focused on already delivering is a positive message people could get behind as well.

 

With Tyrek Hill being detained less than 4 months after the arrest of Scottie Scheffler, have the police actually angered enough people with money and power that there could be actual consequences?

 

Not a huge surprise.

Harbaugh is looking at a 4 game suspension for lying to NCAA investigation. Ultimately meaningless because the first 4 games aren't against anyone competitive. This could be an excuse to not extend his contract that expires after this season.

Preseason predictions. (self.detroitlions)

What is everyone's predictions for the coming season? The hype is as an all time high for the Lions, is anyone buying it?

Vegas has the Lions at 9.5 wins, I think it's totally possible that they can hit the over. I'm buying the hype and think that this year it's the Lions division to lose. Superbowl is probably not happening, but 1-2 playoff wins could happen.
