Sports, wrestling, and music tweets from a husband, father, son, christian, and slightly above average guitar player all rolled into one.

As someone who gets caught up every 4 years, I find no flaws here. I texted my friends yesterday that it sucked that soccer is done for 4 more years. See you in 2030, soccer!

The math behind why soccer generally sucks

A funeral for a friend of 35+ years is today. There's a gofundme that's short of it's goal. I know I have 0 reach, but he was a huge @celtics fan and his 2 favorite players ever were @paulpierce34 and @FCHWPO . https://t.co/F4b2uYvOUa

Any help would be appreciated

@MVP05Guy He definitely thinks MLB 2k games were peak.

[Mike @MRani33]

@MVP05Guy That tweet was bad enough to warrant a mute and I dont even follow him. I dont even want to possibly see another tweet from that dude.

[Mike @MRani33]

I'm genuinely sad.

I never thought comparing Playstation to the Lorax would work so perfectly.

Really bums me out to see and hear what's going on. But we don't owe companies anything, they need consumers and should respect their opinions. Not ignore them and treat them like a statistic.

[Mike @MRani33]

Big facts.

Always say yes to a quick 30 minute beer with your friends because that hour and a half could be the best 6 hours of your life

If you were born in America, you’re an American. You have a right to live here. Unless of course you’re American. In which case you’re living on stolen land.

John Lennon wrote a beautiful song about socialism.

“Imagine no possessions” he told us.

He also:
– helped write his band’s anti-tax anthem, Taxman
– incorporated his IP holdings
– moved to a lower-tax country
– fiercely protected his royalties
- drove two Rolls Royce’s and had multiple luxury homes.
– made sure even the royalty cheques for Imagine were kept safe for his estate so his family would remain wealthy in perpetuity.

If he believed it, he’d have lived it. The trouble with socialism is that even the people who love the idea won’t run the experiment on themselves.

John Lennon writing Imagine while owning two Rolls Royce Phantoms and later having a law suit to protect his royalties tells you all you need to know about socialism in practice.

It doesn’t work outside of the imagination.

@KevinOConnor Orlando? Suggs, Isaac, and a little more salary for Fox and a couple picks?

[Mike @MRani33]

@TheCinesthetic Dreamcatcher and it's not close.

[Mike @MRani33]

Flopping and "selling calls" is a way bigger issue to the @NBA than tanking. Fix the problem on the court.

[Mike @MRani33]

I stand by my idea that in the 1st round of the NBA playoffs only, if a team goes up 3-0, it ends. No need for a best of 7 if you've lost the 1st 3.

Paulo Banchero has to learn to be a small ball center. It's his best (only?) shot at being an impact player.

[Mike @MRani33]

The Orlando Magic have to be the worst coached team in the league.

[Mike @MRani33]

I can't be the only one bothered by the fact that the Hornets didn't retire Muggsy Bogues's number

[Rob (Ro2R) @Ruleof2Review]

Ex-Blockbuster employee here. And I mean it with 100% sincerity that the world would be a better place if we shut down all streaming services, re-opened Blockbusters and video stores worldwide, and shoved people back out into the world to find and enjoy their entertainment.

I had people wish me dead
I had a family member tell me I belonged in a concentration camp.

Never forget what they did .

Politicians openly admit that taxing cigarettes, gas, or alcohol is meant to reduce consumption. They understand perfectly well that higher costs discourage behavior.

But when it comes to taxing income, that basic logic suddenly disappears. They pretend people will keep working, investing, and taking risks at the same rate while receiving less of the reward.

You can’t have it both ways.
If taxes discourage behavior, income taxes discourage earning.
If incentives matter for consumption, they matter for production.

This isn’t ignorance. It’s convenience.
They understand incentives when it supports control, and deny them when it exposes the cost of punishing work and success.

If the government allows for astronomical corruption and mismanagement to take place, are they not in any way responsible to refund the taxpayers? In other words, are there no repercussions for stealing people's hard-earned money other than voting the corruption enablers out of office? Having to refund taxpayers would force the government to curb spending in order to repay its populace. It's as though the cause-effect relationship would be restored.
