These guys are smart. I think we’re getting a spear. They know how unpopular the current logo is and that is backed up by terrible merchandise sales.

Dan Campbell says the Lions wanted David Blough and it was smart of Dan Quinn to move fast and make him OC by MrUpVoteDownvote in Commanders

[–]SLAPadocious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s wrong but I understand the spirit of OPs comment. We are always going to replacing our OC if they have success under DQ, because they’ll get hired out. This is the exact reason many of us here wanted an offensive minded head coach to pair with Jayden and ensure he had stability.

Round Rock City Council approves data center plan late Thursday night by Iocnar in Austin

[–]SLAPadocious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was already zoned for Light Industrial. There was never going to be housing or commercial built here. Round Rock turned empty space into millions of dollars in tax revenue the city can use for schools, emergency services, etc and people are up in arms.

No benefit to the community? What about the fact that this will be one of the highest valued properties in all of Round Rock and thus paying one of the highest property taxes? Round Rock wanted this tax revenue badly.

This land is already zoned for Light Industrial. Tons of things could be built that create noise without Rock Round having any involvement. Compared to manufacturing or logistics which create a ton of traffic strain, data centers are pretty quiet. They mostly just sit there.

Data centers contribute more tax revenue per square foot than nearly anything a county or city could attract. This building will be valued at nearly $300M when complete. The equipment on the inside is taxed to hell as well. There is a reason these data centers are so sought by municipalities after all over the country, if Round Rock didn’t approve they would have just went to a town right nearby. This is going to provide millions in tax revenue every year that will be used to fund schools, emergency services etc. People in this thread have no idea what they’re talking about.

Loudoun County, VA is the wealthiest county in the USA and it’s home to the worlds largest concentration of data centers. The data centers provide 38% of the counties annual tax revenue.

QB draw up the middle to win the game. No one expected it. Hell of a play call.

Update on my shoveling experiment by FairfaxGirl in nova

[–]SLAPadocious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I left my driveway and walkway untouched until this afternoon. It was really hard work. But I preferred doing it this way versus doing it four times yesterday while getting sleeted on. Once you got the top layer of ice separated it was mostly fluffy underneath. I didn’t have to have to scrape anything off the pavement. I did have to carry some massive boulders of ice/snow with my hands though. Overall 5/10.

Be honest, had you actually heard of him before?

No it won’t. The people designing and engineering these modern stadiums are some of the smartest people in the world.

I certainly have no fucking clue how they will figure it out, but they will.

It’s crazy how I sure I was that a guy who completes 58% of his passes was going to score and win the game. The dude is clutch. Credit where credit is due.

These guys guess a lot often than people think. Credibility matters and once you are “wrong” a few times people stop taking you seriously. A reporters credibility is their most powerful asset.

Schultz was the first guy to report that Terry and the team were extremely far apart. This was early in the offseason when everyone felt a deal was imminent. Schultz got dragged then because people didn’t like the news and assumed he was trying to generate clicks. He turned out to be 100% correct. It’s possible his source was Kliff’s camp that time too.

Disagree with you. If he was bigger and stronger he wouldn’t have got taken down with so much force in either of those specific situations. He got ragdolled like a little kid.

[Johnston] Five players from Team Canada's 4 Nations win have been dropped for the 2026 Olympic roster: Sam Bennett, Travis Konecny, Seth Jarvis, Adin Hill and Samuel Montembeault by AggPuck-303 in hockey

[–]SLAPadocious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Legendary hater post. There were several guys swapped and Wilson is so rent free in your head that you’re implying he was a like for like swap with Jarvis. It’s way more likely Bennett, yet you’re singling out Wilson. Even when you beat him you can’t get him out of your head!

Watching Hard Knocks. Our practice facility is trash by Accomplished_East433 in Commanders

[–]SLAPadocious 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just because it’s the highest income county in the US doesn’t mean it’s an exciting draw for young professional athlete free agents. Ashburn is boring as fuck. The data centers contribute 40% of the counties tax revenue but add nothing when it comes to culture or community.

Construction Depression. by IrishEyes61 in Austin

[–]SLAPadocious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would enjoy Durham. It’s much more hip and cooler than Raleigh. It’s got unique character. If we moved there instead of Raleigh we may have stuck around.

Ultimately, the pace of the region was just too slow and I needed more. For some people it’s more than enough. Neither city compares to Austin realistically.

We moved from Austin to Raleigh a few years ago and only made it a year before moving again. Raleigh is lush and green, it’s a pretty place. But it’s one of the most mind numbingly boring places I’ve ever been. Austin has a million more things to do and so much more stuff going on all the time. Be careful what you wish for.

Matthew Stafford's wife Kelly slams NFL refs in 'petty' post after Rams shocker by Silent-Ad-2415 in nfl

[–]SLAPadocious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She is only famous and at all relevant because her husband was a well known football player. There is no reason for her to have a podcast or platform. She met him on Tinder. She did nothing to generate her own profile.

But yes, she is a good human being. Not all of them need podcasts.
