re: The ownership group behind On3 acquires Rivals and forges partnership with Yahoo Sports

What he said these guys like Speigs & Shay only make the call at the very last minute and still get burned by the $$$NIL bag. Why does yahoo keep buying these sites… they are losing money, just throwing it out the window as these sites don’t make any money when they are hawking $1 per prescription and ads that are local and not worth any real money. Bad business model but he finds a sucker every time.

That’s disgusting… like 95% of people that wear that shite/yogi pants/stretch pants etc..none of them are in shape or work out…should just wear a trash bag to cover up that crap. ??

Saw the announcement being made in San Antonio and it fell on deaf ears with the brilliant crew they had working….hard to mess up a coffee with cold skim milk but they did…after the dress code lecture because they were upset & not wanting to compile. Easy solution wear it or go find a new job. Not that hard
re: All 4 OL who entered NFL draft

The coaching/scheme is the question. Said it before Brad can recruit has not shown ability to coach up the guys or toughen them up.
Those hard 1-2yards where everybody is lines up and knows the play. When it’s that situation the OL was pushed back and couldn’t get the 1-3yards to get that drive saving 1st down, TD in the RZ to win versus a FG etc.

That was part of the deal with them to join first few years schedule was in their favor like Bama FB always got.
All big games at home, don’t think they get a lot of teams off the other teams bye week etc… swanky Sankey giving them the red carpet treatment.

Just goes to show how the “best OL” had talent but couldn’t run block so does that fall back on coaching or ?
Brad is a good recruiter but can he coach them up…this is his year to prove it! If the OL doesn’t gel and play as a unit for both Pass/run block Nuss will really struggle as will the team.

re: Pitchers struggle with 2 outs to close the innings & the bats have basically disappeared
Posted by NorthstarinLA on 4/27/25 at 8:46 am
Every LSU batter is trying to swing a little harder, pull the ball etc. They are pressed while Tennessee is working the pitcher knowing LSU pitching is very thin.
Who is pitching today as Shores was supposed too? Will it be 7 guys doing an inning a piece or ?

The pitchers are unable to throw strikes in clutch moments. How many times last night was it 2 outs, 2 strikes and then either a bad walk or giving up hits? The pitchers need to step up.
The TN guys made LSU swing and ground out or bad pop ups to limited pitches.
The Tenn batters worked every pitch count as they knew LSU doesn’t really have a bull pen
This team struggled at the plate usually if you hit 3 homers you win or definitely have more than 3 runs. The bunts with 2 outs even though the 3rd baseline was open was not executed well. Not a fan of bunting with 2 outs.

re: Let's talk about Delaware North at MSY Airport
Posted by NorthstarinLA on 4/25/25 at 12:22 pm
MSY is an average airport with a bad set up for TSA, very average food selection with below average staffing. So it’s like 80% of airports in the US below average on a good day and bad on the others.
I know people will scream but New Orleans Food in general is not good if you’re a healthy eater and don’t drink.

Whit & Perk both are coming off major injuries and a lot of new guys who need to learn the system. A lot of potential but the potential has to perform and over perform to Win and make the playoffs.
That means no 3 games of mental lapses and poor coaching or it’s 9-3 again!
Playoffs or bust!

They try to act like she was going to WNBa or portal. They lose money going to WNBa if their NIL deals don’t stick.
If the NBa ever cuts them they will close shop. They have never made a dime in 17 or 18years. It’s a tax write off for the NBa Teams who sponsor them.

I did Ownwell twice living in Humble. They did ok the 1st time filed it got a little bit of a reduction. You have to supply info, comps etc they just file it.
Second time they totally dropped the ball didn’t file it on time, they didn’t realize until I kept calling/emailing them. I had to do it myself and then they wanted their 25% was like no sir that’s not happening.

The key question nobody asked was why was he dismissed? Lack of talent, attitude or ?
