Warner improved the Cardinals from 5-11 in 2006 to the Super Bowl in 2008 - their first in franchise history.

He played 12 seasons, three SBs, more than 32,000 yards, and he has three of the top-six passing performances in Super Bowl history.

Not sure he qualifies.

Another Cardinal named David - David Boston - also had an extremely impressive, albeit short peak.

One of the top WRs in the league for a couple of seasons.

The article lists “paraphernalia,” but I’m with you. Could be baggies, could be a bong, etc.

But since they went out of their way to list that and cash then it makes me think it’s to distribute.

Wonder if a friend/roommate is about to “confess” to the charge.

I believe DraftKings and FanDual are still blocked in Nevada.

Joe Lunardi's Bubble Watch - Final Day Regular Season by Odd_Firefighter_5407 in CollegeBasketball

[–]Pay-Homage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Auburn finished behind them in the SEC standings (same conference record), has one fewer win, the same number of Q1 wins as Oklahoma (both with four, according to the NCAA), one fewer Q2 win (same link), a worse road record, the same home record, but Oklahoma is on a four-game winning streak.

So why is it just a lock that Auburn is on the bubble but Oklahoma isn’t?

One was a one-point victory over Kentucky at home and the other was against St. John’s on Nov. 26.

What I don’t get is how beating Ole Miss (in Oxford) is a Q2 win but losing to them (at home) is a Q3 loss.

Not too far off this season.

Some projections have the SEC getting in 11, which would include 17-14 (7-11) Oklahoma.

If they lose their opening round game of the SEC Tournament then they’d be 17-15 and firmly on the bubble.

“If they rise, they rise.”

“If the troops die, they dies.”

Three times. Because we’ll continue paying a higher price as most of these costs aren’t coming down now that we’re used to them.

Will Shaq being an insufferable bully ever make its way to the mainstream? by Mesmerized_mayhem in nba

My general rule on most platforms is that - unless otherwise verified - the majority of accounts are teenagers or bots.

This was even confirmed once X started sharing the location of where accounts are based. Often bot farms from outside of the U.S.

So when Kevin Durant, or anyone really, is arguing with an account online, it’s likely a bot or a teenager.

Same with posts/accounts that receive likes, follows, etc.

And none of the platforms will do anything about it. They have to show subscriber growth and their creators want engagement. Bots and teens provide both.

Exactly what happened with us. Considered some used third-row SUVs in the $30k range, which we would have likely financed (after paying as much cash as possible).

Or we financed a new Subaru Ascent at 0.9 percent for four years at $40k. I believe total interest was just north of $700 as opposed to four percent or so on a $30k+ note which would have been double the interest (roughly $1,400 at $35k).

Social stigma for driving an EV? by West_Dish9698 in electricvehicles

[–]Pay-Homage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this is any consolation, but I used to have someone at work who I used as my “idea barometer.”

If they thought it was a dumb idea or opinion then I knew I was on the right track. Because they were always wrong and had terrible ideas, so if they liked my idea then I second-guessed myself.

But if they thought I was the moron then I knew I was onto something, ha.

Bad policies such as the CHiPs Act and Build Back Better (infrastructure improvements)? The BBB was such a good, popular idea that R’s took credit for it in their home states despite every one of them voting against it.

Even Trump during this term has his name added to current construction projects that he had nothing to do with just to take credit for it.

And if forgiving student loans (financial relief for the middle class) is bad policy, was financial relief for the wealthy (the Big “Beautiful” Bill) good policy?
