I’d like to see straight reverse order seeding come back, but with limits. Maybe teams can only pick in the top 5 once every 3 years. I don’t think the Jazz are the worst actors. They want to tank while they control their pick/they want AJ. They’re going to try and win in 2026-2027. Dumb ass Silver fined the wrong teams. The Pacers have legitimate injuries, and just played in The Finals. The Jazz will be fighting for the playoffs next season. Meanwhile, the other tanking teams walk between the rain drops.
Yes I know they’re tanking. They saw the Jazz take a $500k fine, and they went another way. I hate many of the solutions. Simmons is so fucking lazy and tired now he just reads listeners’ emails now. Poor Lowe just has to sit and their listen like a schmuck. The only solution that makes any GD sense is freezing the records at some point in the season and keeping the date and game total secret. Even then teams would use league office sources, AI modeling, and any other tool at their disposal to game it out. It probably won’t get settled until the next strike.
Pretty hard to screw up pork, jalapeño, and cheddar. I saw your pics from City Market and their beef rings look smaller and more well done. Smoking them longer might do the trick, but I’m not going to tell the man his business.
Emergency Awesome explained Maekar’s thinking pretty well. He asked Dunk to take Egg on as a squire because he wanted Dunk to be one of his knights at Summerhall where he could keep an eye on his son. He didn’t want Egg to go off on an adventure.
E6 is going to be a pretty interesting adaption from Parker. There’s not much in the novella after the melee. If it’s well executed, it’ll give me some confidence moving forward with Blackfyre 1 flashbacks, the coming Blackfyre Rebellions, and the continuing adventures of Dunn and Egg.
I think CDC is waiting on CFP Format clarity before he schedules an ASU replacement. USC would be good. Marquee opponent and Riley’s teams are softer than baby shit.
CDC loves marquee home games. He’s said it publicly many times. If Texas doesn't want to be at the mercy of SEC scheduling, the best way to guarantee a marquee home game is to schedule Ohio State, Michigan, and Notre Dame. It’s why I doubt we cancel the Domers. I hate it for the CFP, but CDC’s job is to sell tickets and Sark’s job is to win games. Arizona State was never going to move the needle on ticket sales, and they’re not our peer, will never be our peer, so who cares if we put them out?
Arguably the best smash burger on the market. It’s rare that a fast food joint can smoke almost every fine dining establishment, but Culver’s found their lane. Fries and cheese dip are amazing. All their shakes are good, but I’m partial to their cheesecake variations. It’s so intensely unhealthy that I’d imagine most nutritionists would advise their clients to eat there once a year. I stop every time I’m in Kingwood. I hope and pray we never get one inside the Loop or Beltway.
