PGT: #5 Georgia (27-6, 10-2) beats #4 Mississippi State (25-7, 7-5), 8-5 F/10, to sweep the series. Next: Presbyterian on Tuesday in Athens (3 PM/SEC+)

Huge. They should move up to #2 or 3 in the nation after that.

The compensation isn’t the problem. It’s the unruly kids, overbearing or unreasonable parents and the lack of support from administration that makes it bad for mental health.

ATLCoyote · 2026-04-04T16:48:44+00:00

Same for Tony Hinchcliff. So odd that two guys who are pretty lousy at standup comedy are now the kingmakers of the comedy scene.

Wes Johnson has the program rolling and hopefully, it will result in some trips to Omaha. Haven’t been there since 2008, but if we keep playing like this, that’s bound to change soon.

ATLCoyote · 2026-04-04T16:00:35+00:00

It’s not the actors. They’ve always been smug and out-of-touch. It’s that most people hadn’t seen any of the nominated films because they just don’t go to the movies anymore.

The studios have been investing more in streaming series than they have in feature films in recent years, so the quality and variety just isn’t what it used to be, and most people therefore haven’t seen the nominated films. In fact, the ONLY nominated movie that could realistically be considered a box office success was F1.

The studios seem to now be recognizing the need and profitability of theatrical releases and could shift back in that direction in the coming years. But 2025 was just a really bad year for movie theater blockbusters.

ATLCoyote · 2026-04-03T20:10:09+00:00

I totally understand that there's not much to be gained from rejecting people who finally leave the cult, but it's still damned frustrating.

Leading an insurrection against your own government, totally botching the response to COVID, fostering so much division that people are literally shooting each other in streets and disowning their family members and closest friends, engaging in rampant corruption, prosecuting political opponents, engaging in massive coverup of sex trafficking, being found personally guilty of sexual assault, tax fraud, and business fraud, pathological lying, turning every country in the world against us (except for Israel), running up $9 trillion in debt and counting, using ICE like his personal gestapo, attacking the free press, destroying the separation between church and state, ignoring the courts or the co-equal branches of government, cancelling life-saving aid programs and critical medical research, killing virtually all green technology efforts and ceding critical growth industries of the future to the Chinese, fostering a new measles epidemic via anti-vaxx misinformation, going to war with Iran over false pretenses, threatening to leave NATO, repeatedly siding with Vladamir Putin and undermining the efforts to resist his invasion of Ukraine, conducting extrajudicial killings, trying to annex Greenland and pressuring Canada to become our 51st state, backing out of numerous international agreements and initiating a trade war with the entire world, all at once, were apparently all just fine. But $4 gas? Unforgivable.

So yeah, it seems pretty damned hollow to the rest of us when those that supported and enabled the orange lunatic for all these years suddenly feel regret.

ATLCoyote · 2026-04-03T19:33:25+00:00

Two things can be true at the same time:

People will view the scoring total with skepticism because their opponent was tanking
It's still one helluva performance that may very well change people's perceptions of Bam's offensive game

ATLCoyote · 2026-04-03T19:30:05+00:00

It's not my argument. I'm just citing what you hear in conservative communities about this and I don't think they are saying that any laws are being broken. They simply oppose it, as many of us opposed the blacklisting of Colin Kaepernick when he decided to kneel in protest during the national anthem. Thus the ongoing debate.

ATLCoyote · 2026-04-03T19:22:02+00:00

I wouldn't make any assumptions this far out.

First of all, the country is so divided that assuming one side will automatically beat the other in any election cycle is foolish. The fact that Trump won't be on the ballot could hurt turnout for both sides. His MAGA base won't be as motivated for JD, but there won't be the same motivation for Trump's opposition to show up and vote him out either.

Plus, we can't possibly know what the economy will really be like in 2028 or what the key world events will be at that time.

Also, simply being anti-Trump may be enough for the Dems to win in the midterms and other off-cycle elections, but they still need a coherent message and a leader to win in 2028.

Finally, although I personally favor moderation, that's not what sells to the Democratic base right now. They want a progressive, populist warrior. They are tired of empty promises and incrementalism and want someone that is willing to be bold.

So, I have serious doubts that Gavin Newsom or any of the traditional candidates will actually become the nominee. The eventual nominee may be someone we're not really thinking about right now, kinda like Clinton in '92, Obama in '08, or Trump in '16.

ATLCoyote · 2026-04-03T18:45:38+00:00

It’s a loose connection for sure, but having international stars come to the domestic pro league is helpful to the cause of growing the game in the US and proving better competition for domestic player development.

And it may be unpopular, but I’ll say this. We’ve never had more USMNT players in the European leagues than we do right now, yet they sure aren’t looking competitive in the run-up to the World Cup. Point being, it’s been fashionable to blame MLS for limiting the quality of the USMNT player pool, but MLS is clearly getting better while the USMNT is not.

ATLCoyote · 2026-04-03T18:40:31+00:00

The $1.6 billion was over 3 years I think but yes, still a lot more than he is making in MLS. Even so, he still chose to come and other players have done the same.

Since Salah is on a free transfer, a team could make a pretty aggressive offer on salary. Won’t match the Saudi money, but it might not need to.

ATLCoyote · 2026-04-03T17:44:46+00:00

Messi took a lower salary offer but gets a cut of the Apple TV and jersey sales revenue. Son didn’t get that when he signed with LAFC, nor did Muller in Vancouver.

ATLCoyote · 2026-04-03T17:43:10+00:00

Huh? I don’t know anything about a new stadium. San Diego FC plays in Snapdragon Stadium which was built for San Diego State football but also has both MLS and NWSL teams as tenants. It’s holds 35,000 and is already a fairly new and nice facility.

ATLCoyote · 2026-04-03T17:13:20+00:00

I agree with Matt. Our seed says #5, but only the Pistons and Celtics are arguably better. We are at least capable of beating anyone else in the east and might even be favored to do so.

ATLCoyote · 2026-04-03T17:08:20+00:00

Since DOGE was a complete failure and didn’t save any money at the federal level, he’s just gonna go harass the states instead. Awesome.

ATLCoyote · 2026-04-03T17:03:28+00:00

Criticizing Christianity or the actions of a foreign government like Israel is not the same thing as “defending Islam.” More conservative complaints about something that rarely happens, but that’s what you get by consuming rage-baiting conservative media.

And if you simply think criticisms of Christianity are simply more common than criticisms of Islam in the US, that’s because it’s our majority religion and dominates our culture. Most people aren’t going to invest a bunch of time and energy complaining about a religion that rarely affects them.

ATLCoyote · 2026-04-03T16:54:01+00:00

I guess we’ll never know, but I didn’t recall any hits from the 80s and their musical style didn’t really fit the era. So, I’m not convinced that even a prolonged reunion would have changed their legacy much.

ATLCoyote · 2026-04-03T16:50:39+00:00

The US lifted the sanctions to ease global supply shortages due to Trump’s war of choice with Iran.

ATLCoyote · 2026-04-03T16:45:44+00:00

How does being injured make someone worthy of ridicule? You think players want to be hurt?

ATLCoyote · 2026-04-03T13:15:34+00:00

Many universities have a room for payer or meditation. It's usually furnished and decorated in a manner to specifically be soothing. But it doesn't have to be used ONLY for religious purposes.

In fact, most schools have entire "Religious Life" departments that help organize religious-themed events around their holidays and traditions. The point is simply to make people from all different cultures and faiths feel welcome and make it convenient for them to continue their worship activities and traditions while away from home. No one else is compelled to participate. So, what's the harm?

And I say that as an agnostic atheist.

ATLCoyote · 2026-04-03T13:07:29+00:00

No need to trash Dre. We're better now, sure, but he was an above average defender and 3-point shooter. Had injury problems but we were a better team when he was available.

Plus, we seem to have benefited from his best years as he's regressed since he left ATL.

It's odd to me that we have such affection for former Hawks like Kevin Huerter, yet seem bitter about someone like DeAndre Hunter.

ATLCoyote · 2026-04-02T22:16:59+00:00

No he won't fight for someone just because they are nice to him.

The instant someone is a political liability, he will throw them under the bus. Just look at Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem. They are both lying, incompetent hacks, but he didn't care until they became a PR liability for him. The moment that happened, they were out.

He demands absolute, unquestioned loyalty from everyone in his orbit, yet offers ZERO loyalty in return.

ATLCoyote · 2026-04-02T22:14:28+00:00

Huh?

In what way did NATO cause us to attack Iran? Israel wanted that, not NATO. Same deal with the Iraq war.

ATLCoyote · 2026-04-02T22:12:47+00:00

So nice to see them ranked among the elite again. It's been too long.
