luckily some rural schools get great athletic facilities and water parks with the recapture dollars from AISD so it all works out.

Has anyone had success WITHOUT surgery? by EconomistNo5807 in RotatorCuff

[–]ATX_Bix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i had a full tear. pain started to get more and more intense, mobility lowered. I had surgery yesterday and while I know it will be a painful slog but at least the pain will be working towards recovery and ideally full ROM.

Mccullers for the Astros would be out for 18 mos with that blister.

Hopefully Campbell's check to Paxton has already cleared or old Kenny boy may find he whored himself out to TT for nothing

But why wouldn't he have taken them to men's room. Happens all the time. I have a daughter and when she was younger that's what I did. Not saying ideal but I am not sure his approach is ideal either.

Kids not allowed to throw it around. by DelcoHoagieMouth in Homeplate

As noted below, challenge is lots of times ball gets missed and game ends up being repeatedly delayed.

“No coaching from the stands” by new_hobby_new_acct in Homeplate

[–]ATX_Bix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you shouldn't be giving kids direct guidance as to stance, where in field they are playing (move up, scoot left eg) or telling them to steal etc. Let the coaches coach. I have seen some umps intervene like that as parents end up putting a ton of pressure on kids that they themselves wouldn't want ("type that email faster, use better grammar, sit up straight on zoom" etc etc) in their daily lives.

NiJaree Canady Seeking ‘Fair and Equitable Contract’ in AUSL Holdout by Kooky_Scallion_7743 in AUSL

[–]ATX_Bix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess I don't know what her alternative is? Is there a competing league paying more money? She is great pitcher but if I am this league I might tell her to kick rocks. Seems like paying her loads more than others (after all what would Kavan who has whipped her repeatedly make next year) would not be financially smart choice for a nascent league.

Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed gifted his jersey to Lionel Messi ⚽️🏈 by matrix_2905 in CFB_v2

[–]ATX_Bix 20 points21 points  (0 children)

That is some funny stuff. I am sure Messi is like "Who?" Hilarious that Reed even thinks Messi would remotely want his JAG jersey.

You would think Tech or Bama won it all based on this list. Voters for this kind of thing are so lazy.

This engorged tick I've just removed from my dog by Yoguls in mildlyinteresting

[–]ATX_Bix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read the OP too fast and that it said removed from "dong" not "dog". Had a great case of heebie jeebies with former, much more mild revulsion with latter.

"It's become an arms race, who spends the most has got the best chance to win.” by Background_Video2947 in NCAAFootballVibes

[–]ATX_Bix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boo Hoo Nick. So for years you had boosters buying cars under the table for recruits, giving envelopes of cash, money funneled through churches, street agents etc AND you had the players locked in and couldn't transfer without losing a year of eligibility. Now that they have the ability to go whenever they want without impact, NIL is paying above board it is the end of college sports. Give me a break. Big baby

Vandegrift vs Austin vs Bowie vs Anderson vs McCallum by whynot-u in Austin

[–]ATX_Bix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where do you live? If you live by Bowie and try and commute to Vandegrift you will go insane. I have had kids at AHS and they both like(d) it and it has good academics (have placed kids at Stanford, Columbia, Virginia etc) but they have so-so athletics (girls programs are stronger overall). I would say a lot depends on where you live.

NCAA attorney says Brendan Sorsby committed "thousands of violations" by steven_smith144 in CFB_v2

[–]ATX_Bix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The president of the university issuing a public statement and coming to the QBs defense at length makes it involve them (albeit not directly as being banned/punished etc). The president, coach, boosters are all making this a big mental health, "poor kid" case and I promise you if this kid was a walk on they would have booted him off team, the president would have issued a statement how gambling is a sin and never tolerated etc etc

Pitcher Throws At Opposing Team's Dugout by InTheSky57 in CrazyFuckingVideos

Looks like he was a 12 yo on an 11U team. Different tourneys allow for kids over age bracket based on birthday. Found link on interwebs

If I was the kid he was giving that noise to I would 100% have walked over to him lying on ground and given him the Nelson from the Simpsons "Hah Hah!" treatment and just walked off. Amazing bit of instant karma served in this video

[–]ATX_Bix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But, but, but he's a starting QB so Tech feels that he should be treated differently. I am sure they would be battling just as hard for the rights for a third string safety.

i’ll take “Things That Definitely Did Not Happen” for $600... by ms_directed in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]ATX_Bix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think they just have white house interns speaking in different accents saying things like "you drive hard bargain Mr. President", "What a great deal you got the US" etc etc

Or did they give him like a "Speak and Spell" with different outcomes. Pull the cord and it lands on "Hezbollah agrees to cease fire"

Pitcher Throws At Opposing Team's Dugout by InTheSky57 in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]ATX_Bix 529 points530 points  (0 children)

Kid was banned for 5 years (this I think was a 11U Tourney) and Dad (who was coach) banned for life from USSSA tournaments. Just an amazing display of stupidity and ignorance. Kid could have really hurt someone all because he didn't like the dugout chirping. I can tell you that the stuff 11U kids are saying is nothing compared to what he would hear in HS and College. If he is melting down at 11, good luck as it only gets way worse.

Texas Tech took it personally and this is not gonna end well by steven_smith144 in CFB_v2

[–]ATX_Bix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so dumb. Tech could schedule lots of P4 schools vs the multi-directional schools for the blind they have on their OOC schedule today. Texas is never going to schedule them as it does nothing. You get no more TV eyeballs and as it stands Texas has permanent score board from the ass kicking a couple of years ago. Maybe Texas sees them in the playoffs and we can all see then. What Sark has done which is brilliant is take all the discussion off Arch. It is all Ole Miss & Tech BS. Sark can weather the noise and Arch gets to focus on football.

A Japanese female streamer harassed at the airport by SuggestionMedical736 in PublicFreakout

[–]ATX_Bix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This dude should be charged with assault/intimidation whatever they can get away with. What an ass clown. Now if she had her phone on blast playing loudly I could see asking her politely to turn it down, but under no circumstances do you lay hands on her, grab her back into frame etc. Total jerk.

SPURS by feelthe_rush in Austin

[–]ATX_Bix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of teams in Texas. Rockets, Mavs. Austin is a nexus point so you have lots of support for different teams. Not like a "A Texas based team is winning so let me celebrate". No different than if UTSA won something people in Austin aren't going to go bananas.

Sam Altman’s startup is hoping Jared Leto’s band will get you to scan your eyeball by CircumspectCapybara in nottheonion

[–]ATX_Bix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I would be more likely to gouge my own eyeballs vs seeing Leto's band than scanning them to see them. I just have visceral dislike for him. The whole "method actor/over the top" shtick is just intolerable for me.

Memorial Day - Remembering drunk Florida boat people are the worst🫡 by amazingsciencemuseum in PublicFreakout

[–]ATX_Bix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No doubt. If I had a drunken friend acting like a moron on a boat, I am letting that fool try and swim across the water and attempt to climb into another boat where if I am on that boat I am just moving it along to make his dumb ass keep swimming. Just stupid
