Tiger after his cheating stories came out
Admitted to being a cheater and piece of shite
Only after sponsors began to bail on him.
When the cheating stories first came out, he stuck with "private family matter" statements for a while before getting in front of cameras.

Honest question as I don't follow them, but what "championship" did they win?
I think they were a legit college summer league team originally. The owner turning them into a traveling circus is a more recent development.
Tristan Peters of the White Sox played for them before he was drafted.
re: Jason Whitlock HAMMERING black culture today

You are a stupid piece of shite if you believe that no one even shifts their positions over time.
Meaningful discourse is basically dead in this country because people have become so cynical of other's opinions. Many media personalities are dismissed as "grifters" or "doing it for clicks", even though the simplest explanation usually is that these people believe what they're saying.
The MSB has accused Whitlock for years of pandering to conservative white men for attention, as if that's some lucrative career move in media. What does it take to finally just accept his opinions at face value, whether they agree with it or not?
It seems pretty bigoted to assume a 60 yr old black man has no agency to think for himself. Because he goes against the grain of your preconceived notions of what a black person should say, he must be grifting? What? :lol:

I don't like nat team managers getting multiple cycles, it never works outside France.
It worked for Germany and Croatia.
My first thought about Poch staying is that he probably aspires to get back to a big European club. But thinking about it more, maybe not?
He had his run at Spurs. He had to deal with dysfunction at PSG and Chelsea. I thought Milan could be a good landing spot for him, but they're a mess and went with Amorim.
Right now, I can't think of potential fit where a club would want him and he would want them. Hanging out in the US for another cycle without the daily grind and bullshite is probably attractive.

I actually do to some degree. I'm CERTAIN he is not the only player to have bet on football games over the last 3-4 years. Including their own team's games. In fact, there is a former Iowa St. QB who is currently on the Saints roster who was ruled ineligible by the NCAA for gambling.
That's how I feel. I think the pearl-clutching over this has been laughable considering the money being thrown at these players now, and the gambling culture that has been fomented.
Betting lines run constantly during games. Betting apps are advertised constantly on TV. Hell, Gameday does their Superdog segment weekly. But everybody feigns shock and awe about how this could happen.:lol:
Texas Tech, Sorsby, and his advisors handled this beyond poorly, but there seems to be a bloodthirsty effort to kill Sorsby's career before it starts, just because of the way it was handled.
The Lions had that WR a couple of years ago who was placing bets from the team facility. He got released, but went to Canada and is still playing for the BC Lions today, so the CFL "upholding the integrity of the league" is a joke.

For as bad as Weah was though, I think I hated watching how Pepi played even more. It seemed like 90% of his touches in dangerous areas took him away from goal.
Pepi was weird tonight. He always seemed around, but was rarely involved, if that makes sense. Like you said, his positioning was off.
FWIW FotMob gave him a 5.9 tonight, and Weah a 5.3.

I don't understand why FOX gives us Strong and Holden instead of Darke and Donovan, but whatever.
The end tonight sucked, but I'm not mad about the overall performance. If anything, this result should get the guys even more focused and galvanized for Bosnia.

I'm trying to get you to understand the concept of things being outside of recorded norms.
Again, with a relatively small sample size in the grand scheme of things, "outside of recorded norms" is just a point of variability. There isn't a greater conclusion to draw from that, particularly since France only began recording daily temperatures nationally after WWII.

True. Most of it is purely theoretical. Which is all it realistically can be, considering the relatively small sample size of recorded history we have.

El Niño
This year's is supposed to be strong, but the strongest on record occurred in the 1870s.
Point being that the weather has always been widely variable and the evidence that humans have any meaningful impact is minimal or suspect.

Albert Fish literally ate human shite and called it peanut butter.
Most of the stuff Fish did sounds fake, but was documented as fact. He would jam roses with thorns up his urethra and yank them back out. An x-ray of his pelvis also showed needles he had pushed into his body.
Edmund Kemper decapitating and then skullfricking his own mother is hard to comprehend.
The Moors Murderers, Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, actually recorded audio of them raping and murdering a 10 yr old girl. It's supposed to be so horrific, no portion of it has ever been leaked and was thought to be destroyed, but the Manchester police claim it's still locked away in a vault.

You are the threat if you don't see it.
Yep. The biggest problem are the left-leaning voters who don't view themselves or any of these candidates as communist.
Sure, they just want the rich to pay their "fair share", and to tax the middle class into poverty to pay for free this and free that, but it's for the greater good, so they must be the good guys. It can't be a bad thing like communism.

But Pritzker's campaign ads keep telling me that we have a balanced budget and our economy is stronger than ever under his leadership.
He also keeps taxing the middle class into poverty, so how do we suddenly have "budget constraints".

His broader message was that assassination is good.
There’s nothing virtuous here to cling to. Don't make him out to be some misunderstood reformer.
Exactly. His own defense is trying to present the case that he's mentally fricked in the head, so trying to spin what he did into "at least he started a discussion" is laughable.
re: The effort to ban social media for kids in the UK is just part of a larger censorship plan

Nah. Rare UK win. No kid should be on social media. Way too high a proven societal cost
I don’t know how anyone can look around at all the mentally ill youth running around and have issue with this. It’s beyond out of touch with reality.
Keir Starmer got ratioed and community noted with his own government's research showing little correlation and no causation between children's behavior and use of social media.
John Stossel has covered this topic as well, and found that kids today are affected by social media about the same as kids were affected by violent video games in the 90s or rock music during the Satanic Panic. In other words, little impact at all.
If BlueSky is exempt from this ban as has been reported, there's really no argument for the government to ban any platform. It has zero to do with protecting children.

FIFA would never push it during the World Cup. They want to promote the unifying aspects of the tournament. Not piss off a large number of the players and nations participating.
Of course, many individual leagues in western nations fully embrace the gayness. France is the only one that backed off in recent years because so many players complained.

This was objectively one of the best sporting events I’ve watched.
Honestly, if someone wasn't entertained by that, they didn't actually watch it.
There was a finish in every fight; no judges' decisions. A great main event. They had Medal of Honor recipients and first responders from across the country escorting fighters out. There were cool videos showing American landmarks from across the country. It opened with the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels flying together in formation.
If you love America, it was fricking awesome.
