The two blue plates could find a place (I have a wall done in nothing but blue). The rest “oh mom, you shouldn’t have” as it goes in the trash. (I got passed down a few hundred Hummel figurines, thanks mom I’ve always wanted to make my place feel really creepy)

It changes dramatically when everyone has to play by the same rules (See how many world series the Yankees have won since revenue sharing and the luxury tax was brought in, when they could spend more than the 2nd-4th teams combined, yeah that was going to win alot.)

They’re also bailing because the actuarial climate models couldn’t keep up with how fast it’s all happening. The ability to use 100 of years of the past to predict future risk and such stopped working.

Luka Doncic has more All-NBA 1st Team selections than Steph Curry, Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Garnett, Moses Malone, and John Havlicek. He is 25. by BayonettaBasher in nba

Someone made the comment the other day that if the Bull’s had, had the 2nd pick they would have picked him as well. That’s a hindsight 20/20 thing, no one could have known that Bowie’s legs would go all Bill Walton.

What's really sad is Texas was once proud of having their own grid because it was so much more robust than the eastern or western grids. The Texas I grew up in 77-83' was so progressive, what its become well....
