ESPN (A bunch of Death-Spiraling maroons)

Remember watching ESPN like a religion. Then when the B10 rebuffed their peanuts offer for TV, and we started our own channel, they went full SEC, trying to down B10. More to the point, (just wanted to throw that out there), watched announcers/color folk come in, do some good things, and then get promoted/leave for better announcing jobs elsewhere. Now, seems like they are pushing their people out for whatever reason. Maybe their people don't draw high ratings? Dunno. Maybe that ESPN is no longer 'the' sports network, and their total market share is dwindling. Maybe they should do a bit of introspection? Or maybe just say 'the king has no clothes'?

Cincinnati Reds (2026 Season Thread)

I put 5 on em blowing it while up 4-0. Can't win them all I guess.

Still a good bet (but they usually win when Burns pitches for some reason)
Definitely why I took the Live bet at +2.5 when Burns left the mound. It was written in the stars they wouldn't hold that 3 run lead

2028 OH WR Lorenzo McMullen Jr. (Verbal Offer)

Am certainly old enough to remember that of which you speak. Also recollect that the catholic schools in Cincy had a pipeline to ND. 'Don't bother recruiting them, they're going to ND'. Never did understand, unless Cincinnati was jealous that Columbus, (by all accounts less cosmopolitan than C'bus) got all the pub. Really never understood (and still don't). Especially since UC was not even in the same galaxy as tOSU. That being said, tOSU did pull some great players out of there, who donned the Scarlet & Gray. And in truth, green is a more powerful color than S&G, and Black (and whatever). Heck, even remember when ND hired a HC from a Cincy HS, who lasted maybe a week and a half (not really). Still, am still perplexed how Watterson, and Pickerington can put more recruits in tOSU ranks than the entire Columbus Public School system.

Lebron James (Philadelphia 76ers)

It’s kinda laughable how the media keeps pushing this like a “huge deal” when nobody I know (lots of NBA fans) care at all…..everyone is just kinda embarrassed for the guy bc he clearly has no idea everyone is over the act.

I guess I hope he stays away from Cleveland….i don’t think they need the extra attention, I just don’t think it’s worth it….the championship he brought to Cleveland was pretty amazing but the rest of his career was so mismanaged and awkward. It reminds me of JJ McCarthy at Michigan to be honest……not smart enough to know how ridiculous it all is. The arrogance and ignorance is at levels never before seen….

Technology Gone Wild: Rise of the Machines

Maybe this was more appropriate for the asinine conspiracy thread instead.


But to translate into English: Peter Thiel is a proponent of transhumanism, a philosophy, crudely put, that turns human beings into a sort of machine. He secretly funds a narcisstic influencer who is obsessed with using medical procedures to alter his appearance because he believes that influencing young men to embrace such a mindset will make them more receptive to embracing the philosophy of transhumanism.

Again might've been more appropriate for the conspiracy thread, but if you go into the rabbit hole of trashumanism, plus consider who Thiel is, it fits here too.
