re: What does the cease and desist order really mean?
Posted by SpqrTiger on 8/13/26 at 7:53 am to Asleepinthecove
“Does it mean they can’t display his Heisman in the trophy case with his name on it?”
NO
“Does it mean they can no longer use his highlights in any LSU promo videos?”
NO
“Does it mean they have to take down any and all evidence that he even attended LSU?”
NO
“Is this what he really wants? Does he want his entire LSU footprint erased?”
Someone should ask him to clarify.
But there is a difference between historical Jayden Daniels and Jayden Daniels the current person. He doesn’t have the control of his historical NIL that he thinks he does. If LSU wants to out a JD highlight reel on the Jumbotron… JD can’t stop them.
If LSU wants to sell jerseys with his name on it… that’s a different thing.

re: Jayden Daniels sends cease-and-desist to LSU after Pickett given No. 5

If JD wants to play hardball, fine. Produce the contract that states that LSU agreed to never award the number to another player.
If one exists, then fine. You win, JD.
Otherwise, he can take his demand and choke on it.

This story defies believability. Then I remembered it’s college sports in the 2020’s. It sucks so bad now.
As for JD, if he thinks he can control what LSU can do with his historical likeness, he’s got another thing coming. LSU can use it all they like, and I look forward to the court battle over it when he challenges an image of him at the football ops center or a highlight reel of him on the Jumbotron. Which he will.
Marketing image is a whole different thing.
Total unforced error on JD’s part here.

I liked the episode. Great job with the battle scene. I like that no one got what they wanted out of Tumbleton.
It’s satisfying to see Rhaenyra go off the deep end.
Will miss Heleana, though. I liked Phia Saban’s take on her. Captured her oddness very well.

I actually like Scottie on the show, but not Ortegas. I keep wondering why she gets the screen time she does. Really not a great character.
This episode was a waste of time. I get that original Star Trek had its share of goofiness, but that was with seasons of more than 20 episodes. SNW has less than 20 episodes left in its run. So we have this and the Muppet episode this season to cringe our way through while the clock is ticking…
I struggle to find one thing good about this episode. It might be the worst in the whole run. Might.

you could win every single game just because Drew was your QB.
This is how you know a QB is truly great. I remember so many times as a Saints fan feeling like the game was lost. Decades of losing a lead with two minutes left and knowing we just could not come back to win.
That ended with Drew Brees. As long as he was in the field and we were down by one score… we could… and likely would… win.

Episode started off REAL slow. Am I the only one who's getting tired of Rhaenyra's constant whining? Every episode feels like another round of second-guessing, complaining about her council, or lamenting how unfair everything is.
I’ve been saying it for years. Rhaenyra sucks. Bad.
I don’t know what half the GoT fan base sees in her other than Dr. Who is her bedmate.
Just as important is when you work with old, rare books, especially with foreign language books, you need a human to handle idiosyncrasies and outliers in print method, font style, dialect, dated language, slang, and context that machines will never be able to account for (accurately) alone.
There is no scanning, learning, and burning an 18th century treatise, for example. Even in your home language, you can’t take what you see exactly at face value. It’s been my experience that a machine can’t even tell the difference between an F and a S on an old document due to the font similarity. That alone will roadblock the text recognition process.

re: liberals that "own" Christians for believing that Jesus was white looking...

Jesus is God.
Does anyone believe God could not make himself look however He wants to look to anyone at anytime?
How He looks or looked on earth is irrelevant. Only idiots believe that anyone’s faith would be shaken by that.

re: PSA if your returning Amazon items to Whole Foods in BR
Posted by SpqrTiger on 7/27/26 at 6:39 am to sleepytime
I returned a couple of items there and the person behind the desk was unfriendly and kind of rude.
What ticked me off to begin with was that Amazon sent me the wrong item. I wasn’t returning anything of my own accord. They wouldn’t send me the right item unless I sent the wrong item back. And I had to deal with this ray of sunshine at the service desk.

re: Why are we playing LA tech again?
Posted by SpqrTiger on 7/25/26 at 10:38 am to turnpiketiger
I don’t see anything wrong with playing Tech. They are a respectable team.
I know it gets a little repetitive playing teams from around the state… but this is who we should be playing… not Southern, Nicholls, and the like (Saying that as a person who actually likes Nicholls).

I really wanted to like this show, and parts of it are good. I love the setting.
But the story is just so convoluted. I had a lot of trouble following it. Maybe the show is for people smarter than me or maybe the writers aren’t very friendly to the viewer.
Either way, it didn’t work for me because of the story.

My favorite WDW ride. And now it’s been confirmed deadly.
I kind of have more respect for it now.

I saw it. I was prepared to have problems with minor things, but overall, those things did little to take away from a great movie.
Of the well-documented pre-release offenses, the one that was most obvious and period-breaking was the use of modern, casual English like “dad” over and over.
Elliot Page didn’t take me out of the movie. Neither did Helen of Troy’s race. It’s no big deal.
What I did like was how much of the actual Odyssey’s various trials and challenges made it in the movie. I thought save for a very few exclusions and changes… it was pretty on-target story-wise.
Go see it. It’s a good watch.

I am not in favor of hosting Southern again.
That house is a trip. Love it. Love that it’s attached to 50 acres.
But even if I had the money for it… I would never buy it. Flood zone. Screw that.

re: Is LSU becoming more ghetto? Is there a solution?
Posted by SpqrTiger on 7/12/26 at 7:52 am to _Hurricane_
All I know is that if you want to better the quality of student AND drive up demand simultaneously… raise the standards.
Regardless of race… high school quality students want to apply to schools that will turn them down. The #1 way to make someone want something is to tell them they can’t have it. The more exclusive you make LSU’s image, the more people will flock to it.
And I know that’s not LSU’s mission as a land grant, public university… but if you want to okay the competition/rankings/image game… that’s your play. Otherwise, don’t play the game.
