Do you run over wild boar with your Jeep?

Yeah… I put it there a few weeks ago. I was going to leave them there until after we restart then I was just going to unpin them.

You guys know he started at CNN, right?

I'm sure LeBron is happy to be compared to incels. Maybe that's what he told Dillon Brooks before Game 3 and got a nut check for his troubles.

Jimmy Butler continues to show when it's time to go. That was an impressive game.

A lot depends on his current foreign country sales pitch, but I wouldn't bet on that being a rousing success. A failure abroad should be all he needs to throw it in, pack up and go back to Tallahassee.

FoxNews isn't a news outlet, it's an opinion outlet. Nobody, with the exception of possibly boy wonder Elon, would simply buy an outlet just for its media share because they would be expected to know what their newly purchased audience wants before they purchase it. As despicable and useless as Tucker Carlson is, he knows his audience and that makes him an invaluable starter piece for new owner. At the very least, he or she can buy FoxNews and cut Carlson loose shortly thereafter when there's a plan in place to retain his rabid following. It's a lot like a new sports team owner: when he or she buys a franchise (usually one that's in the tank), the expectation is that, at the very least, the star player comes with the franchise and the new owner builds pieces around that player before cutting him or her loose when it comes time to sign a max contract extension. You always keep your star attraction when buying a new business so you don't alienate that business' core customers; conversely, that means if you want to sell, you keep around the star attraction no matter how problematic so you get top dollar.

Think about it for a second: who could possibly want to buy FoxNews?

Happy Birthday, Charlie!

I'll take both since you already made the mojito.

You would think, but…

Nothing could be that bad.

Nah, a buyer most likely would want him as part of the package. I really think they think they can replace him.

He is a douche, but he's a douche that somehow plays decent football despite being a douche.

I just imagined duct tape on my nipples and I laughed a very mirthless, haunted laugh too.

I think he's going to fit in nicely.

People you would never have expected to meet that somehow have an effect on your life?

I don't know, but it probably wouldn't matter. Even if he isn't, FoxNews might have enough "evidence" to suggest that he was a rogue employee that was working as an operative of Trump's campaign rather than as their employee.

I think it was something of a foregone conclusion that he would be gone once the Dominion lawsuit was reaching its crescendo. It's not like the guy is bringing in ad revenue (at least not directly); that's an ill portend for someone who is as polarizing and blatantly biased as he is. Once the lawsuit brought his profile to the fore, Murdoch had all the cover he needed to jettison Carlson by blaming it all on the a trumped up charge and the lawsuit. FoxNews doesn't need to boost guys like him when they can find a new fresh face at anytime to peddle their propaganda: it's what they've always done. More importantly, cutting him loose means he's on his own for the Smartmatic lawsuit. The Murdoch's are not known for their loyalty.

Forget the Mojito, just get me a half-yard.

Could I get a boysenberry mojito, please?

No one's suggesting Fisher isn't primarily at fault here given he's the one that is making the decisions about his own team. At the same time, the stadium was in disrepair when it had two shitty owners as tenants.

At least Dilllon Brooks got into his own head since he couldn’t seem to get into anyone else’s.

That’s mostly the case. But it doesn’t explain how they lost Loeb and the Warriors at the height of their most recent dynasty. More importantly, they’ve allowed the Oakland Coliseum to become literally the worst stadium in the country. If they were interested in keeping the As in Oakland, making their current home a hellscape probably isn’t going to help.

How does Oakland fuck up so bad they go from 3 major professional sport franchises to.. 0?
