I even do custom graphics for it.

Washington State at Oregon State for the PAC 2 Championship.

You’re the equalizer. I’ll send you an invite.

You’re already in.

What a sweetie

I would have been sure cops can’t pull you over for having your hands in the wrong position. But, I also would not have thought it possible to punch oneself in the balls while flipping a bitch.

I could still tag him, but fuck that.

He removed his team from the league. I turned it into an auto-renew league last year so, unless you pull your team out, you stay in the league. He's the defending champ too, I believe.

I think it's just bad spray tan, but jaundice from narcotic induce liver damage doesn't seem entirely out of the realm.

You’re already in Pooh. I’d like to do a 9/1 if I can get that last team.

Aw... man. Nah. You've mentioned on many occasions that you can't do it, so it's all good. We would have been fine but our returning champ Gman pulls out of the league for some reason so now we're fucked up.

Bump. Is anyone interested in joining the UEMB's fantasy football league? One of last year's participants backed out and we are now short one team. Can't run a draft unless we have an even number of teams.

It's also worth noting that RFKJr's blatant and shameless play to peddle his supporters for a position in either government does not come without risk. Presumably, the nutcases that adhere to his anti-vax rhetoric would appreciate him being a part of government and follow him to whoever promises him a position. However, those who are attracted to his pursuit of environmental issues will almost certainly not follow him to climate denier Trump.

I'm sure he was siphoning votes primarily from conservatives, but that doesn't mean Trump was a second option for those voters. He was at his peak when Trump was facing a moribund Biden campaign. We don't really know if the decline from RFK's popularity high, modest as it was, has already resulted in a boost to Harris since more detailed revelations of RFK's sordid past and subsequent implosion has run somewhat concurrent with Biden leaving and Harris entering the race and fueling enthusiasm.

What broke? It looks to me that there was a metal bar embedded into the case that the circular hinge attached to. It a bit blurry so I can't tell if the case itself broke or the hinge on screen bezel broke,

You're shifting the goal posts: you specifically said that the "quiet part" was Hamas ceasing to exist: In fact, Netanyahu hasn't just explicitly stated this from the beginning, it's been stated by the Israeli government for as long as Hamas has been in existence. They have never "allowed" Hamas to exist, they simply can't eradicate it. But, that aside, Netanyahu didn't have to say there was no hostage deal planned because the goal all along had been to eliminate Hamas. Now that the unrealistic goal has failed in spectacular fashion, he is stuck with a bad negotiating position - he does not have the option to not negotiate for hostage release until all of the hostages are rescued or, more likely, recovered. He already has the victims' families breathing down his neck and he's facing an increasingly fractured coalition. If he says that no deal is possible for getting the hostages back, he's effectively doomed.

Yes, there will be a prize.

Wut?

There are two judges, with past champions getting the priority. Last time, I kind of used the judges as a back up because I didn't have a lot of confidence that we would get board participation. This time, we're changing the role slightly. During the team round, the judges will still decide which member of each team is the MVP for the round and that person gets bonus points on top of those earned by the team. During the individual knockout rounds, each judge gets one vote for the contestants that move on to the next round, and the board collectively gets one vote. I do not. Last time, the challenges were formulated by committee because that shit is hard. We'll use some of the same events (not the same prompts), but I'd like to come up with new events as well.

I kind of remember it mentioned, but racism against Chinese people is pretty easy to sweep under the rug because of the totalitarian grandstanding by the CCP. Shitstains like DeSantis are always looking for soft targets to boost their "credentials".

In case it wasn't clear, we won't be sending people home in the team rounds.

I think one of the common questions people might have is how the team portion works: At the beginning, teams are drafted and for the first rounds, they collaborate to win as a team. For the second edition, there were eliminations during the first few rounds, but it was kind of awkward and we ended up eliminating the people that just didn't participate during the team rounds. So, the purpose do the first 4 rounds is to win as a team and accumulate points for each participant that carry over to the elimination rounds.

The longer Netanyahu tries to drag the assault out, the more catastrophic the political implosion will be when a cease fire happens. He's been playing a very risky game of chicken since long before October 7th - he has always had all the political acumen of his buddy Trump, focusing more on opportunism than doing the actual legwork involved in building coalitions and prioritizing tangible results. It's horrifying to see the unified message over the extreme collateral costs of selfish behavior, but that doesn't disguise the chaos inside his own administration. Netanyahu's collapse won't be sudden but it will be dramatic.

The whole guessing part ruins the mood.

I’ve noticed that the paramours in your life are really really passive aggressive about asking for the D.
