@chayim30 @MeetDannix @DiscussingFilm Exactly. You and others have made that clear, but some people on this thread are struggling to understand.

[Ravishing Davey Rude @DispatchDave]

I agree with Idris, except for using the term “woke.” Casting a character with someone of a different race/ethnicity is only considered “woke” to the people who don’t want to see it. No need to acknowledge them.

But there are a lot of those people who buy movie tickets.

Idris Elba says James Bond doesn’t need to be “woke”

“Bond is big all over the world. And audiences won’t [all] go for a Black male, an African male, playing Bond. That’s not what they like in their culture. Period…

Bond is so unrealistic, so a hint of reality is good, but let’s not try and make it woke. I think you’ve got to be pure to what it is: escapism. Don’t try and answer the world’s taste. Just be Bond.”

@RossDellenger Funny the judge ruled that Sorsby will “suffer probably, imminent and irreparable injury” if he doesn’t get an injunction. He broke the rules. Imagine violating rules at your job, getting fired and a judge forcing your job to rehire you because unemployment is bad.

@RossDellenger 😂😂😞

@bartgregory How does a judge not affiliated with the NCAA or involved in reviewing eligibility cases/levying suspensions arbitrarily determine a two-game suspension? That’s more sketch than a full reinstatement and an admission of a rules violation.

[Ravishing Davey Rude @DispatchDave]

Of course. Local courts will overrule any NCAA eligibility case. The NCAA is neutered. Can’t even ban someone for betting on their team’s games.

NEWS: A judge in district court in Lubbock County, Texas, has granted the injunction requested by Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby. He’s set to be eligible for the 2026 season.

[Ravishing Davey Rude @DispatchDave]

Brutal but inevitable. The same game script unfolded so many times this year.

[Ravishing Davey Rude @DispatchDave]

Lead-off man scores after this BS.

[Ravishing Davey Rude @DispatchDave]

Smh. Can’t trust this team at all.

[Ravishing Davey Rude @DispatchDave]

Hell of a time to squeeze the plate, Blue. Smh

[Ravishing Davey Rude @DispatchDave]

HBP, error, sac fly, stolen base, single. Great to see the boys show up for the start of a do-or-die game.

[Ravishing Davey Rude @DispatchDave]

Welp. Same song, different game.

[Ravishing Davey Rude @DispatchDave]

Can’t do nothing but laugh.

[Ravishing Davey Rude @DispatchDave]

Tough inning. State lost every 50-50 play in the field.

[Ravishing Davey Rude @DispatchDave]

@TheRealDA_Lee @Marcus_Mosher Sure, but the option to jettison after a year (or two), is valuable. There are cap implications both ways, and if you have doubts about the long term viability of a player, eat the cap charge up front and work your accounting elsewhere.

Did you collect the big rubber LJN wrestlers back in the day?

They were (are still) my prized collection.

@espn @NCAABaseball someone flip the switch for the Starkville regional at WatchESPN.

[Mississippi State Baseball @HailStateBB]

GAME TWO. DAWGS.

[Mississippi State Baseball @HailStateBB]

GAME ONE. DAWGS.

[Ravishing Davey Rude @DispatchDave]

@RulingSports But it’s more than rev share, right? The “NIL” deals for top-end talent have no cap. It’s an arms race for competitive football.

How would you have structured the settlement to control payroll costs for departments if they can’t have contracts or restrict player movement?
