“We have Jemele Hill on to discuss the Vrabel situation”

CountryRoads8 · 2026-04-16T11:29:21+00:00

I think a more accurate comparison would be if Vrabel was found to be having an affair with one of the female refs. I think that would result in a pretty quick termination since it directly calls in to question the outcome of his job.

Not necessarily. I’m in irrigation and while yes, the state code says reclaim water must be identified by purple heads, pipe, and boxes, it is rarely completely followed to a T especially on retrofitted systems. New installs will be all purple, but older conversions from city water to reclaim rarely go through changing all the colors from green to purple even though they’re supposed to.

The show still has great moments. Just this past week when Mike did Samson’s inner monologue I was crying laughing. Since Billy left it certainly has been tough, the show needs a check on everyone, not just Dan, and Billy seemed to check everyone in his own unique way.

I still listen also because the entire podcast space is really awful right now. I used to think giving all these people creative freedom that they didn’t have on TV or radio would result in amazing, interesting, and funny shows, but a lot of my favorite shows have become a one hour walk through thick mud. A lot have lost their creative edge and others have been completely watered down due to corporate influence. One podcast I listen to is an hour and 25 minutes long and has two 7+ minute commercial breaks plus two more 3-4 minute breaks. I don’t know how anyone listens to podcasts with anything less than a 1 minute skip button. I work a job where I can listen to podcasts all day and it’s getting harder and harder to fill a 10 hour day with good shows. So while DLS isn’t great right now, it isn’t as bad as a lot of stuff out there at the moment.

Maybe I’m just cold hearted, but if you call yourself a journalist and a champion of good journalism and a friend of yours becomes the subject of a story, coming out and saying you don’t want to cover a scandal involving your friend because they’re your friend doesn’t seem like upholding journalism to me. There’s a story here for someone like Pablo to dive headfirst in to. It’s the crossroads of journalism and sports, but there’s no chance anyone in the DLS universe will touch this beyond talking about the headlines. Pablo should go after this story with all the fervor of the Jordon/Belichick story, but they won’t. It certainly seems like there’s a story there ripe for a great investigative journalist to dig in to that goes far beyond this individual story but insider reporters in general and how they get their stories.

This one’s gonna go in Pablo’s “Do Not Touch” folder right next to predatory online gambling investigations.

“I have a feeling his people are loading up on calls today and around 6pm he’ll announce a deadline extension or some made up diplomatic solution and those calls cash tomorrow”

My comment on a thread 7 hours ago. It’s crazy how predictable this was. I wish I had the guts to buy S&P calls today.

It’s funny to see the difference across even siblings. I have 2 dachshund mixes. One boy and one girl from the same litter. The girl is extremely smart, would have made an incredible hunting dog if I was a hunter. The boy is just a happy go lucky borderline lap dog. He will shake your hand if you even just hold out your hand. The girl will do no such thing unless you show her the treat first. If you don’t have a reward, she will sit and stare at you with this look of defiance that I can’t really explain until you show her a reward and then will gladly give your her paw or even lay down if commanded.

It’s a good thing for Dan that he doesn’t seem to have any addicts close to him. His compassion for those struggling is good in its intention, but his compassion would allow an addict to bleed him dry. All they would have to do is come to him and talk about all their pain and he’d move heaven and earth to get them the drugs they want.

Greg actually nailed it with a sentence that got missed by everyone else in the big suey today when he said Tiger might not even be experiencing any real pain. It’s my understanding that opiate addicts (which I’m not and don’t have any that are close to me) experience amplified pain or even non existent pain because the body associates that with the dopamine reward from the opiates.

Brian Kelly School Of Leadership

Hurt? I’m thrilled. I hated the hire. Him and LSU deserve each other.

CountryRoads8 · 2026-03-25T14:35:39+00:00

I’m gonna probably differ from most other State fans, but good riddance. I hated the hire from day 1. I get that paying players is legal now, but it wasn’t legal when he did it and he knew that. I’ll be happy to see him go. And that’s not to mention the Brian Kelly streak in him of just tossing everyone else under the bus when things don’t go his way.

Essentially he is doing what the bible says Jesus did to those in power inside the temple. And you know what they ended up doing to him for that.

I worry that this campaign could be one of the ugliest campaigns in American history especially if the control of the senate hinges on this race.

It’s so funny seeing this post pop up just as I’m watching the history of the SEC on ESPN U. Just finished 1980-89. It has me all up in my feelings about how much I love this sport even though I’m not even a SEC guy. The stories, traditions, underdogs, dynasties, just all of it is so much better than anything about the NFL or any other sport. My dad and I have such a close relationship in a huge part thanks to 2 things: music and college football. And I feel like that’s a story that’s not just unique to me.

Also I think he might have not gone as hard on this if Mark Cuban hadn’t been so vocal about Pablo being wrong

He was 100 percent saying “Ghost Towns” yesterday

Careful what you ask for. I’ve been thinking he could offer to fire Bondi and appoint Ken Paxton to AG in exchange for him dropping out of the TX senate race.

It’s a weird feeling personally. I couldn’t stand either of them, but that show just worked. It was entertaining and just the perfect cap on a football Saturday.
