Trump came across as not in control of his emotions.

I think he handled it better than 99.9% of the people breathing, if they had to deal with someone as detached from reality and pathetic as Zelenskyy. He got emotional when the track suit toddler, quite literally starts telling the sitting President, VP, and those present, “What the American people are going to feel.” or that he and the Ukrainian people have been alone in their fight.

Zelenskyy wearing the track suit looks even worse for him. It totally appears as if he is a refugee that has no basic understanding or awareness that the world has changed.

Trump: “You are in deep trouble”

Zelenskyy: “I know.”

You are forgetting that the vast majority of these employees have no real profession or skills they have learned in government. Many of those fed contractors are actually contracted out to do the job the employees should be doing in the first place.

Love how ole Whoopie chimes in “Might have been”, when Joy says, “I don’t know if he was or wasn’t”.

Jill Biden may or may not have been a medical doctor and a great choice for surgeon general.

Please name one of these so called bridges lol? And if there are, Kellen Moore will gladly say, “The bridges I burn will light the way.”

How would you implement this without collective bargaining?

While certainly I would never be mistaken for a labor or contracts lawyer. Probably in the current system, without a CBA, would be first a commissioner/conference decision. Then the collectives of each individual school transferring the “contract” between them.

Hypothetically, you could almost make a small niche market akin to an insurance syndicate. Where each collective acts like a company. Each player signs a “policy”, and if they switch companies a % of the new premium is thus given to the old school/collective. With the conferences acting like reinsurers. In many ways the conferences already do for many things.

As a Who Dat, would much rather Rodgers, one because the end would be nearer and some light at the end of tunnel on this Gayle/Loomis train to hell. Also no matter what having a hall of famer at QB is pretty cool.

he's made more money than every football player in NFL minus Rodgers

Kirk Cousins TYFYS.

I would say he is very good at developing bigs and overall team development. I think he has made some blunders with roster management and the NIL budget jumping up into SEC basketball is awfully hard to develop guys if they are only here for one year.

I also think he is a very good second half coach. I am not here to say we don’t have the talent so he doesn’t get to show that, or that at the end of the day we have two losing seasons in three years. But at Murray and in tight games he does push some right buttons.

I think he is a very genuine coach, and players know when a coach gives an f or not about them. How that translates is hopefully we are able to keep together the 2024 recruiting class, Reed and Chest come back. And we are able to get a veteran PG this offseason that has been a starter for 2-3 years that is looking for a coach like Matt.

Lastly I think he arguably has one of the best 8-14 flash sets for under your own goal inbounding so I like coaches that can find 4-6 points that way. Instead of the toss it over the top then run into action.

This is a big if, but if and when he gets some stability with 3 or 4 guys on the court that have played together multiple years, his offense is very crafty and pretty awesome when it comes to the freedom from the elbows extended.

Lastly he is a very good organizer, and a professional in every sense of the word. My favorite term for guys like him is grinder, he came up the hard way in coaching. The amount of time and effort he expects from the team they see him putting it in. Not every coach is like that believe me.

I am neither a cult follower of Will Wade nor a McManiac love them both believe it or not. Did not like Johnny Jones or Trent Johnson whatsoever from the moment they were hired.

He had the 5th best class in the SEC this year and has had two nationally ranked top 15 classes since he’s been here

I would disagree, that may have been the numerical number on the rankings algorithm. But when you factor in the portal, and that most of the other schools had one if not two top 50 guys as in potential to be Day 1 starters at the SEC level. We are lacking. Most of the SEC especially the good teams are buying guys in the portal that are established starters or have 3 years at major schools. We are picking up off the Mid Major heap so to speak not saying our guys are trash but we have won what 3 games in the SEC and the other teams that are all better save one school are doing something different.
