They have no idea how to fix the actual problems of the country, but their old ass conservative brains can’t process high school kids making money playing sports and it must be stopped. Hunger and poverty is a little over their heads.

Your first mistake is assuming they WANT to fix those other problems.

Yeah, we all think it's a fun joke, but the joke is on us, because your statement isn't wrong.

The joke is on the NFL. It shows how ridiculous the Pro Bowl is. Just name an All Pro Team per conference and be done with it. If you want to have a Flag Football game as part of SB festivities have some NFL players coach a couple of worthy squads of high schoolers.

Thread of What You've Eaten, Cooked and/or Drunk Lately

We took our staff trip to Glacier this fall. Tthe wife and I spent most of the week was spent leaving hours before dawn, hiking and snacking and then having whatever for dinner before collapsing.

With the closures (to rebuild), Many Glacier Hotel was booked out for 1-3 years, as were the other ways to get on property.

We lucked out and not only got a last minute reservation for a few nights, and then made it onto the will call list for the boat to shrink the Many Glacier hike. So much wildlife on the east side of the park.

The meals overlooking Swiftcurrent Lake at sunset were magical, but one of my favorite parts was one of the best steaks I've ever had being a sirloin (formerly it's always been filet or NYStrip), and sending us down a rabbit hole of sous vide experiments at home. We're just getting started (maybe 4-5x sous vide baths in?).

I have no idea what I'm doing yet with sous vide, and if it's this good while I am a novice I can't wait til I figure it out.

Especially the ability to prepare 6-10 steaks at once and then have a quick heat up entry a week or two later.

We stayed in Monrovia, and almost every place we ate was fantastic. Merenge Bakery, Café De Olla

Maybe the best part was the amount of whole food shops serving healthy salads or mixed bowls (and unhealthy too), which were shockingly affordable in LA. Was able to eat out for less than buying any of those supplies at aldi or kroger.

p.s. My friend is first generation american from Taiwan, and spends large portions of each year over there. I think they just stop out in Pasadena a lot for fun and food, so it sounds like you had a similar experience.

Had a lot more fun Jan 1, 2025 for football coverage (much better weather, and first bowl game ever for me overlapping with the greatest OSU offensive performance maybe ever :lol:). The past two november trips have been to photograph a horse show rebuilt inside Santa Anita racetrack (where the olympics will be). Great event, but it's absolutely poured the past two years, to the point where I had to buy rain slickers (never needed them in KY where I work outside 80 days a year). Both years were wet, but we were there for the national news covered storms :lol:

One fun part was hitting so much traffic when we landed, that it just took us through surface streets all the way from LAX to Pasadena. We drove through compton and every bad part of LA, so we got a full feel of many of the areas. For as much as LA gets a reputation for being shallow, their architecture is remarkable, and not just in the nice areas. Previously I had only seen the beaches and Orange County, which has to be one of the least creative places on earth for architecture.

Many members of the Manson family were from Monrovia. Also, I was fortunate to see places like Compton and Watts in the 1970s. They were rundown but they had their charm. Now all of SC LA looks like any town strip mall USA

How about them Miami (O) basketball team?

Withrow was torn down and replaced by a residence hall a few years ago. It was a relic from a past long gone.

Hueston Woods and the lodge are still there. The lodge is a little dated but has an indoor pool for guests. Restaurant is okay as well. Not sure how many guests it has during non-event days due to a significant increase in the number of hotels around Oxford.

Latest Celebrity 'Obit' posts

Golfing buddy played in Tiger's farm system, went to spring training every year with the big team, but ultimately ended up in AA or AAA. Anyway, he was around when Mark (the Bird) Fidrych was around, and used to tell tales of how crazy he really was. PS, Bob Gibson used to scare me, just watching him pitch. Wouldn't have wanted to bat against the guy. And hats off to all the pitchers that pitched (and won) three games in the world series. Gibson was one, and believe McLain was another.

OSU Men's Basketball Recruiting/Projections/General Discussions

calibuck
Well, Bestbuck we actually do! But he's taking up space on the pine. Look at his bulk, and wishing he'd be in the paint taking up space, and enforcing his will on those unfortunate enough to drive on him......keep hearing he's probably going to miss this year. We're losing both Tilly and Noel at the end of the year, so he's gotta get better. He'd be a difference maker, if he returned before selection committee sits down....methinks.

Ohio State @ Maryland, Thursday Feb. 5, 830pm EST, FS1

calibuck
Great night, watching both the Men and Women get some nice wins. Yeah, Md was itching to fight. Tilly was trying to prove his worth after the Wiscy thumping, and believe that Chapman had his best game yet. He's picked up the pace with his D, by not playing matador defense. Women, well, they played like they normally do. Do hope that Kitt gets better faster, as Elsa looks like a lone tree on the plains under the hoop. Was surprised how well she runs the court (doesn't lope up court as I used to do), sprinting for the pass. PS, not usual that the C gets upcourt before the defenders, IMHO.

Look Who's Transferring Now (The Portal)

College football is “mirroring” college wrestling in many regards. NCAA increased scholarship count to (30) for P4 conferences….up from (10ish) they used to have.

On the surface, it appeared that would help more kids get scholarship opportunity. The opposite has happened though….where schools used to carry up to 50 wrestlers that could get partial scholarships, now it’s reduced to exactly 30. When that is multiplied across all programs, you see a huge net decrease in wrestlers on teams.

Division I football teams can now disperse up to 105 scholarships (in an increase from the 85 limit).

Very few teams will carry more than 75-80 scholarship players anymore because of NIL. We are going to see fewer DI players with a 105 limit, than when the limit was 85, because of NIL.
