re: LSU basketball path forward

I'd love to meet these mystery basketball boosters that are willing to put up $25-30 million to turn the men's program around. I'm not sure they exist. It sure isn't going to be the fans putting up money.
$10 million to buy out McMahon and staff
$10 million plus for new staff
$5-10 million to buy a decent roster.
2 of those 3 expenses are happening even if you keep McMahon. The only new expense to fire him is about $6.5M for McMahon's buyout, plus whatever it costs to buyout the assistants that won't be retained. His contract also has an offset clause, so the $6.5M could end up being less if he gets another coaching gig

re: Disney Studios lost $168.7 million on their woke remake of Snow White

I have no idea how Disney shareholders haven't revolted and voted to replace the entire board of directors yet.
Disney has the easiest formula to print money with movies. Literally just stay true to the original story, avoid controversial casting decisions, and don't try to inject modern political and social messaging. They don't even have to come up with original stories and ideas. They just have to avoid butchering established stories.
Follow those simple guidelines and most of these live action remakes would be raking in profits both at the theaters and in merchandising.

re: Olympian Eileen Gu should have her citizenship revoked...

Olympics aside, we have a huge problem with this in this country. The complete and total lack of assimilation in this country produces these enclaves from all over the country whose loyalties lie with their country of origin or their parents and grandparents country of origin..
Yeah, but I don't think that's really what's going on with these Olympic athletes. Eileen Gu and Mondo Duplantis both appear to be very assimilated into US culture.
Representing their parent's country is also a business decision because those countries treat them like celebrities while American fans only care for about 2 weeks once every 4 years. Eileen Gu supposedly takes home over $30M a year. Thats about 4x what Lindsey Vonn is reported to make and Vonn is probably the biggest name in US skiing. So can you really be mad at her for skiing for China when its that much more financially lucrative?

If you have waders, find a shallow slough that's about knee deep and walk it slowly. You can move pretty much silently doing that, so if you play the wind right then you can sneak up on pigs before they ever know you're there.

Its not something to get that worked up over. I’d rather an athlete born to an immigrant parent choose to represent their parent’s home country than to have athletes representing the US using the opportunity to shite on the US at the Olympics like some of our skiers

There was a big high school cheer competition at Disneyworld a few days ago.
Do any of the local high schools sometimes use LSU busses for out of state trips?

re: Krewe of Carrollton float riders removed after aggressive bead throwing at officers
Posted by Tiger Prawn on 2/10/26 at 2:27 pm to John Casey
quote:
So someone's palms got greased or NOPD determined internally that they overreacted by removing the entire float of 41 people.
Probably because they had nothing to identify exactly which rider(s) were throwing with malicious intent.
Even with video, you'd need it to be from an angle where you can clearly see both the rider and the target that was being maliciously thrown at. Otherwise, good luck trying to prove beyond reasonable doubt exactly who threw it when there was 20 other riders on that side of the float.

They aren't even remotely comparable.
One made his own decision to forego his remaining college eligibility to enter the NBA draft. The other needed foot surgery that cost him 2 full seasons, then went on to have season ending knee injuries 3 separate times.
And apparently he's not wasting all those extra years of eligibility. He's got a bachelors and a masters degree from USC already and working towards a graduate certificate at Montana.

"I ain't ask em why, but they left"
Now dig into the likely reasons why. The biggest reasons for white flight that come to mind are usually crime, failing public schools, and lack of good jobs.
Imagine being so proud of those things

And next year's SB is in California again.
NFLPA should be all over this and demanding that the NFL host media days and SB practices in Vegas and then fly the players to Los Angeles on Sunday morning so they only get taxed in CA for one day.

Posted by Tiger Prawn on 2/8/26 at 1:21 am to Ed Osteen
quote:Because he gets his annual base salary from the Seahawks regardless of how far they make it in the postseason. Players on SB teams get additional bonuses from the league and its equal for every player on the team. Nice amount for guys on league minimum type contracts, but its chump change for a player who makes $30M a year.
I’m still not following how darnold would owe more in taxes than he would receive in payment
Since the Seahawks are in California for 8 days for SB week, CA is taxing those players based on 8/365 of their total annual salary, not just the SB bonus. So Darnold will have to pay CA taxes on 8 days worth of his $27.5M annual salary instead of just the $103K or $178K Super Bowl bonus from the league

quote:Looks like they’re dividing his annual income by 365 days and taxing him based on 8 days being worked in CA since the teams are there all week.
If that's true the players union should insist no more SB's in Cali because that's insane.

Appears to be mostly 2009 players. Look up the roster numbers and it should be easy
