This is what incenses me. If you're going to destroy something, it better be worth it.
They killed the old PAC 12 for a TV deal with a larger payout that immediately turned into less TV exposure, less interesting games, exponentially more costs and hundreds of millions of debt.
USC hasn't been this irrelevant in my lifetime. UCLA, irrelevant. Cal, irrelevant. Colorado?
Stanford is playing on the ACC network today. That's part of most west coast cable packages, right?
Enjoy the curse of your own dumbassery. Imbeciles.
I'll gladly trade the NCAA video games again to have what college sports use to be. The average family could attend games. Plenty of tradition and pride in your school. Schools not begging for more and more money from fans. Everything wasn't about money
When the beefy 5 layer burrito was introduced at Taco Bell in 2009 it was .89 cents. It is now 5 dollars. Even adjusting for inflation it should only be about $1.39.
But nah foods not more expensive don't worry guys!
Stephen A. Smith publicly APOLOGIZES to Kyrie Irving after calling him "selfish" for refusing the COVID jab.
"Hindsight-wise, it didn’t make him stubborn or selfish. It made him BRAVE."
"I watched Dr. Fauci on Capitol Hill yesterday, and the person I thought about most was Kyrie Irving."
“Kyrie Irving stood out in my mind because of the heat that he was taking... He refused the vaccine. New York City's mandate made him ineligible for home games, and he linked his stance to people losing jobs over vaccine mandates."
“In my opinion, particularly hindsight-wise, it didn't make him stubborn or selfish. It made him brave. His willingness to stand up and say, ‘Nah, I'm not doing that.’
“It's just a time for reflection — to look at things differently.”
Kyrie gave up $11,400,000 in game checks during the 21-22 NBA season and a $100,000,000 extension with the Nets to be unvaccinated.
That cements his holdout as the largest financial sacrifice any athlete has ever made over an issue in history.
These all came out in 1995.
A big reason people are nostalgic for this era is that even if you only saw one movie a month, you could still see 12 bangers per year.
And it made our lives infinitely better.

TLDR dude hikes 6.5 hours to avoid a helicopter medical bill impaled while his friends make kebab jokes…
> 32yo ER nurse named David is day-hiking Montana’s tallest mountain with his boys
> He slips on a rock near the top and full-on impales himself on his own trekking pole that goes clean through his lat with like 8 inches sticking out both sides
> nurse brain kicks in immediately, checks himself, realizes nothing vital got hit and he can still breathe fine says screw the helicopter bill and just starts hiking the entire 10 miles back down with the pole still stuck in him
> takes SIX AND A HALF hours, friends are spotting him the whole way, one even runs ahead to warn families so kids don’t see this gnarly shit
> about 4 miles from the car they realize they’re actually gonna make it… and start cracking kebab jokes 😂
> dude never complained once, stayed in weirdly high spirits the whole time
> walks himself all the way to the trailhead, gets the pole pulled out later at the hospital, and already says he’s going back next year to finish the summit
Erling Haaland has returned to Norway, and it looks like he brought home a $750 Whiskey Raccoon from Wild Bill's Western Store in Dallas, Texas. What an authentic piece of American culture.
