Gut feeling here… this was/is Tony’s way of eventually winding up at Arkansas when it’s all said and done. He wouldn’t leave TN directly to go there just due to back lash. Will find out in the next 2-3 years.
@nicknewsome16@OJMinusDaJuice I would say no… in my mind Kobe last good year was against the Magic. The Celtics team was just like that Lakers team old and shouldn’t have beaten LeBron. In my mind that year LeBron should’ve gotten his first. But yall were like 9 years old so 🤷🏻♂️
@OJMinusDaJuice@nicknewsome16 Was Kobe in his prime? On the back side of it in my opinion…Did he have TWO other top 75 all time nba players on the same roster as him? Oh wait that right it was that other guy. And who didn’t Redeem team bring in to win Gold? And why oh yeah they needed a killer mentality
@nicknewsome16@OJMinusDaJuice I’ll take Kobe all day any day he’s not going 4-6 in the Finals. He darn sure isn’t getting beat in his prime, along with 2 other super stars in their prime to a rag tag Dallas team
@nicknewsome16@OJMinusDaJuice Stop it…. I’ll give you the warriors but let’s not act like the spurs he played when was in Miami was in their primes. All those guys besides Kawhi were in the back end of their career. I guess Kobe besting that unbeatable Magic and Celtics team bron couldn’t 🤷🏻♂️
@nicknewsome16@OJMinusDaJuice Also for argument sake Kobe carried won 45 games with a roster in 05-06 that was probably worse than this one. Carried the Suns to game 7 had the lead and half time and didn’t attempt a shot after half.
HISTORY LESSON ON YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY CARD:
Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn’t know this. It’s easy to check out, if you don’t believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what’s what and it doesn’t matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are FACTS.
Up until the 1980's, Social Security cards expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes.
Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION" message was removed.
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. His promises are in black, with updates in brackets.
1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary [No longer voluntary],
2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program [Now 7.65% on the first $90,000, and 15% on the first $90,000 if you’re self-employed],
3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year [No longer tax deductible]
4.) That the money the participants put into the independent ‘Trust Fund’ rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program [Under Johnson the money was moved to the General Fund and spent]
5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income [Under Clinton & Gore up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxed].
Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month — and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to ‘put away’ — you may be interested in the following.
Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent ‘Trust Fund’ and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate.
Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democratic Party.
Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the ‘tie-breaking’ deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US
AND MY FAVORITE:
Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?
A: That’s right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments!
The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!
Now, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!
And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!
If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve. Maybe not, though.
Some Democrats are awfully sure of what isn’t so but it’s worth a try.
How many people can YOU send this to?
Cheer up, fam.
Baseball starts next week
(Nevermind that we lost our generational National Champion coach because our AD wanted his women’s basketball coach to succeed. The 19th ranked women’s basketball team is definitely worth losing the Nick Saban of college baseball)
@TansuYegen 1C Kobe is my GOAT, wouldn’t want to sit right on top of him that seat in between would give room to talk without being right in each others face.
@TennLeland Certainly feels that way especially if he goes the whole offseason without staff changes. The fact it’s Tuesday Tim Banks and Halzle both still have jobs concerns me.
Tim Banks needs to kick rocks. Halzle should to cause our offense isn’t creative anymore like it was before Golesh left… part of me says WR coach cause we had a bunch of drops
Tennessee Head Coach Josh Heupel says that he will “evaluate everything” in the program following Saturday’s loss to Vanderbilt:
“It’s my job to evaluate everything inside of our program,” said Heupel. “I told our players we’ve had some disappointing results, but the second half was extremely disappointing.”
“Coaches and players, not just one.”
What do you think needs to change this offseason?🤔
#ForTheFans
@DrunkVolFan I was at work just checking score like this and I was like man bball team is getting boat raced by Rutgers did not have that on my bingo card
@ZehDuck Glad to know it wasn’t just me cause I kept thinking my goodness what the heck is going on. Really screwed me up when they sent the final and he had won.
@TennLeland Not saying accept it from my point of view but my question to you is this, does heupel need to go or is it more of a he has to make changes to his staff? I believe both coordinators need to be gone. Just my opinion.
