@NotJackKemp stumbled upon the insta account of Tony Buzbee, not sure if you’ve seen it but you would def enjoy. Dropping all sorts of knowledge, some very hot takes
@tealtonedturtle interesting talk of MJ. was a punchline long before late 90s. I’m genx (76) and he was popular when I was young but by middle school was a joke. Didn’t know about the ped stuff, just very weird. Doesn’t seem like the narrative presented now.
@NotJackKemp re rangers pitching- starters have great “stuff” harder to control but makes batters miss. When they miss spots gets, tee’d up. Relievers don’t have great stuff. Easier to control, hit more spots and softer contact.
@NotJackKemp RE- TCAP Kempspin. Happened in Terrell. Guy was an asst DA. It’s close to my mom’s house, drive by every time I see her. She was friends with DAs sister, family got a lot of money in lawsuit.
Daughter graduated from UT last spring. @NotJackKemp during ceremony they recognized students joining services. Lots of cheers as they read them off by branch…then came to Space Force. 50k collective wtfs.
Really enjoyed the ICP talk the other day @NotJackKemp . I read a long form article about the “Gathering of the Juggalos” some years back. Not a fan of the music, but fascinated by the subculture. Would be a great IJB topic.
@NotJackKemp slight correction, Greiner was traded for the Merchant of Death, not the God of War. My son’s college roommate from baseball is Russian and staying with us all summer, that is our nickname for him. Maybe he could teach you to pitch too.
@NotJackKemp re blue alert yesterday- not the whole story. Was in the middle of it in s ftw yesterday. Prob 50 swat guys and helicopters circling. Looking for Benjamin
Congrats on the 4.79 @NotJackKemp …while not great in the world of athletics, it’s lowkey fast for just general humans. Like benching 225, sounds low but how many people can actually do it…not many.
Astute observation @NotJackKemp , I’ve been in big business/corp finance for a long time. Been at multiple companies where things were good and we had to bring in an Ivy League big brain who promptly fn cratered things.
@NotJackKemp you used to be half time but review guy…was at mavs game last week and saw lasso/bullwhip guy. Was amazed, one of the most badass things I’ve ever seen. Ever seen him?
@SportsSturm I’d argue that the skill level is much higher than ever before but it’s led to more boring fights. Everyone can strike and do bjj/wrestle now. No huge disparity at the highest levels. Guys take less chances too based on importance of winning. Also, not many personalities.
@machinesports Maybe the darkest day in DFW sports history. Gm 6 of 2011 WS has a seat at the table, but at least we got redemption last year. This will hurt until the end.
@badkaratemovie@Odnaut82 I do think this is a reasonable take, but also if you are going to move him, getting an old player and nothing else is nowhere near his value. He might fade out quickly, but is a generational talent, would rather ride it all the way down.
