Cincinnati Reds (2026 Season Thread)

Burns slamming stuff in the dugout while everyone else just has to stare straight ahead and pretend it isn't happening was funny. I had a dude like that on my team in little league---he would go berserk after striking out and everyone, including the coaches, would just leave him alone. He was a great athlete too---ended up playing college D1 in both baseball and football

Should semipro/college players be paid, or allowed to sell their stuff? (NIL and Revenue Sharing)

This sounds familiar

As the college sports structure evolves, it might even be beneficial for some schools if they could simply let investors fund the roster, pay the coaches and take on the profit/loss risk. In exchange, the school would get paid for use of facilities and trademarks to fund their other sports.

and yes, already happening to a degree

In a sense, it's already in motion. Utah finalized a nine-figure deal with Otro Capital earlier this year, forming a new company that will handle revenue-generating aspects of the athletic program. Michigan State just unveiled a new athletic department structure with $100 million in seed money, part of which is a for-profit subsidiary called Spartan Media Ventures where investors will get a return.

In early August, LSU is gathering donors at the governors' mansion for a "first look at an alternative revenue-generating opportunity for LSU athletics that is first of its kind nationally and could quite possibly change the future of college sports in America," according to the invitation. It's expected to include some type of structure where investors/donors could buy a "share" of a privatized athletic department.

People smoking/vaping marijuana at parks, in their cars, outside stores/restaurants.

I am so sick of it. The horrible smell is EVERYWHERE!

GTFOH!

We lived in downtown Denver when Colorado, along with Washington, became the first state to legalize recreational marijuana. Being first attracted tons of young marijuana "lifestyle" people to the state. Most of our commute was walking the mile or so length of the 16th street pedestrian mall that goes through downtown Denver and we'd get asked for weed money by these 18-25 year old derelicts 3-4 times per commute. That was even more annoying than the smell, which was omnipresent but bothers me less than it bothers many other people, including my wife. It's somewhat better now, probably because many other states have legalized and because young people are leaving Denver because it has become unaffordable.
