Is this what the future looks like on this site? Chicken should cash out sooner than later because the Rant bubble will burst eventually.

“Sacred”? I do not think he understands the meaning of that word. Go invade Greenland, couyon.

All of them.

- Celebrities selling anything
- Insurance companies trying to make you believe their different from the competition (see, also, Mayhem, emu, Jake, Flo)
- AI anything
- Fragrance commercials on TV are the dumbest damn thing ever created
- Pizza places giving you a gazillion new ways to eat the same bread, sauce, and cheese
- Truck/SUV commercials showing clearly fake landscapes

ETA:

- Rx ads are fricking OOC
- WGNO ABC 26 ads saying “We are - and you are - New Orleans’ very own.” WTF does that even mean? You could say that about damn near anything.
- Celeb ads for shitty games like Royal match

Yes, I’m old and pissed off about it.

It’s clearly fake; no one thinks all those actors who look exactly as they did in their most famous movies are all in one place for a mega-selfie. Some of them are dead, even. So congrats?

The point is that it already can create content that appropriates living persons and current events so realistically that it will make it much more difficult to identify the fakes.

he held on to the ball and it didn't move.
Because his hand was atop the ball, which was on the ground. The fact that his bottom hand moved but top did not, while the ball slid across the turf, to me is clear evidence of a non-catch.

You can't say he had control when that control was because the ball was on the ground.
Have fun dodging meteorites! May all your buildings have wheels.

Offensive pre-snap penalties are definitely a problem and coaching is always at issue when that happens. But it’s also a talent problem when the same guys keep screwing up.

It’s been super refreshing to see so few defensive penalties especially PI.

That applies to criminal investigations. Employees have zero expectation of privacy on employer-owned devices and sometimes on employee-owned devices if known to be used for employer business.

Employment manuals, state regulations, and case law give UM a lot more freedom and flexibility to conduct investigations. Typically in cases like these, lots of people knew but those in authority had plausible deniability as long as they didn’t look too closely.

He missed out on the job because of his own sexual foibles doubt Michigan goes anywhere but squeaky clean this hire.

He has been nowhere to be found in 'his' lawsuit against LSU and the CFB HOF. I don't believe he can even be called as a witness. It appears the litigation is simply his wife's/family's axe to grind.
quote:

but don’t ever share your vulnerabilities.
This is horrible advice. Marriages thrive when both spouses are comfortable being vulnerable and trust the other. Of course, many marriages are not like that, and in situations where one spouse is manipulative and/or abusive, one has to protect himself or herself.

But when both spouses are on the same page, man, the emotional and physical intimacy lead to profound love and numerous blessings.
IIRC he was always going OOS. He chose Duke and his brother chose Vandy out of HS. I don’t think he considers LSU “home.”
Don’t think they had a choice. Seller’s market and didn’t want to risk the internal promotion.

I would think being able to play another year with his younger brother is the biggest reason he’d come back.
Daaammmmnnn he did USM dirty. He either must have really wanted out at Marshall or found USM not to his liking. Not like the AAC is a huge step up from the SunBelt.
