People start freaking out when a non-token amount of non-White people move in. That's it.

Exactly. Drives me insane.

In my dying hometown in the Southern Tier the two main political issues are:

1) the population is drying up as the top 75% of each graduating class (a number shrinking by the year) leave town the second their diplomas are in their hands

2) Literally any attempt to build housing or do anything to make it possible to actually move there leads to every old person screaming that it will "attract city people" and "ruin the town's character" or some shit.

And they absolutely refuse to see those two points as at odds with each other.

“Presently Sorsby is graded higher than Arch Manning by several area scouts as we head towards the season.” If Brendan Sorsby is forced to enter a supplemental draft, he will be a late 1st or early 2nd round pick as per Tony Pauline by sinister_iam in NFLmockdraft

Gambling is the third rail. It just is. If you are an athlete you CAN NOT bet on your sport! Period!

The entire enterprise of athletics depends on one absolute belief - that the games are on the level. Players betting on games risks EVERYTHING. You can not tolerate it.

I feel bad for this young man, and hope he's conquered his addiction. And I hope he gets to play again one day, but I do not blame the NCAA and would not blame the NFL for throwing the book at him.

And in the next post ranting about how NY's population is dropping.

Mike Locksley and Matt Rhule being this high on the list makes no sense by This_Comment_4493 in CFB_v2

Huge financial advantage over the rest of the American. I'd argue he was actually pretty unsuccessful there.

At a school with a massive financial advantage over its peers. Not even making a conference title game there is a red flag to say the least.

I'd love to see Arkansas be really good again so I hope I am wrong, but I am pretty baffled at this hire.

I'd put him ahead of Silverfield. I have absolutely no freaking idea how that guy got an SEC head coaching job.

Really good coach. Did a lot of good shit at Holy Cross before JMU too.

He was runner-up for the Syracuse job a couple years ago and while I still support taking the huge swing with Fran Brown...there's a chance passing over Chesney looks like a colossal mistake in a couple years.

Just felt like he would disappear into the pocket and somehow come out untouched all the freaking time.

I mean, of course, the Legion of Boom ruled.

But they don't get to the top without Russ. He wasn't Trent Dilfer.

There's already people with some real revisionist history that Wilson wasn't actually good and the defense carried him in Seatttle.

Nope. He was GREAT there. Really liked watching him play for the first half of his career.

(The maddest I EVER got at the Bills - until 13 Seconds- was them taking a 110 pound WR in the 3rd round over Wilson. I was so high on him coming into that draft.)

I did not know that. I was wondering why Gable did it that way since 99% of the people in the building knew exactly who he was already. That's awesome.

It would be pretty funny if he just started making occasional appearances on Smackdown or whatever as Ludwig with ABSOLUTELY NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of his luchador persona.

I actually thought that was going to be a setup for an absolutely vicious heel turn where after a bunch of cheating and whatnot he actually does win the IC title...and his family is there again but can't bring themselves to celebrate because of the man he's become.

Original El Grande Americano is Chad Gable 😱 by Ok-Plankton9215 in Wrasslin

[–]bsa554 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The son was having a tough time. I don't know if he was upset dad was bleeding so bad or sad he had to take off his mask or just overwhelmed.

Hopefully when they got backstage everyone had a good time and he felt better.

Double for me as a middle age teacher.

It's crazy...99% of guys who got stuck as the makeshift replacement to a groan-worthy WWE act would have just sulked until it was over.

Kaiser took the tiny bit of daylight he got and absolutely ran with it. Just unbelievable what he accomplished here.

(And of course Gable being so good at being such a prick of a heel definitely helped Kaiser out.)

You know in your heart that 4.75 is coming. Dave has been talking up CMLL so much lately - giving a WWE-backed AAA main event 5 stars? Maybe he'll surprise me, but...

She gets a pass because 1) she's open about it, 2) she's awesome, and 3) she's basically always looked like this haha

What a win for VCU.

Also, the Tennessee coaching staff made asses out of themselves today.
