Beyond the fact that Biden was not referring to all Black people in general, but rather to Charlamagne's request that Biden appear on his show again and go more in depth about his pro-Black policies to his radio audience, which Biden felt was unnecessay and the policy history was self-explanatory... Btw Charlamagne still endorsed Biden in 2020 and Harris in 2024, so obviously he didn't react as negatively as you claim to...

But maybe you're unaware of comments Trump has made which are equally if not more offensive to a particular ethnic group of voters...

You mean other comments like Biden did not want his kids attending school in a racial jungle? Or maybe having a known racist Robert Byrd as a mentor? Yet there is a comedian not even Trump makes a disparaging remark and yet Trump is held accountable? Yes maybe someone should have censored his speech beforehand. I am sure going forward something may need to be done.

I still say the team should come out to "Walk" by Pantera. It would be really easy to edit the lyrics out after the intro and then go straight into the chorus....The whole stadium would be amped.

I’m not a doctor, so I can’t make that call.
Others make the determination based on their own needs at the time. It changes frequently.

I haven't looked into it very closely. My money's on Community Notes. It does a pretty good job separating the wheat from the chaff.

That said, this sort of thing is common throughout all major media. They're far less interested in informing us than they are in influencing us. And I don't think it's at all uncommon for them to tell half of a story in order to do that.

This is why I'm so thankful for social media -- and so incredibly put off when the John Kerrys of the world muse about "how you curb those entities". Assuming I'm right about Community Notes, then we know the truth about this story *because* of social media, not in spite of it.

Is Kerry and the like talking about "curbing" the New York Times and Nick Kristof?

No, because Kerry recognizes and supports the First Amendment.

There's less chance of this happening, because he's obviously a very good basketball coach. But now that he's experienced ultimate success, I would worry how he'll handle having a group of players that don't respond well to his style and approach?? I could see him doing something that gets him "cancelled". It can happen very quickly in today's world. He's got a little bit of a leash right now, but an injury or two, a few recruits not being able to handle his manic style...struggles on the court as a result... those moments of him pushing players mid game, saying some of the things he says...well we know first hand how all that can wear people out. And our experience with it was over 20 years ago!! Today, you're literally one slip up away from being on the outside looking in.

For maybe that reason, or others like NBA jobs, I doubt he's the coach at UConn 5 years from now.

I love the demands, but the impatience, screaming and vitriol for no reason are something that will turn 180 degrees immediately as soon as they go 20-10. Not every kid coming in is wired the way these past two teams were - and they may not even be as good. We've seen it firsthand. When it worked it was beautiful, and everything's all good that ends good. But when it didn't it work it was absolutely miserable, and it doesn't work more often than not. Who would put up with that? You can work your ass off, be held accountable and win big without the misery of people being flat out dicks.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that it's on advice from security.

I was hoping they'd give Rourke plenty of healing time rather than risk it. Expected Tayven. If they can coach up QBs as much as has been bragged about... and seems like it's true.

But I assume they know what they are doing.

With this offense, we just need a consistent game manager. In either case, we need to remember he threw a 40 to 50 yard dime on a play AFTER the injury had happened. So for all intents and purposes, at his worst condition since the injury he was still playing fine. He has only improved since then so I'm honestly not worried.

I'm not really sure what you mean by "laundry" -- but OK.

And I'm critical of more or less the entire major media as well. I think they've become vehicles for propaganda. In fact, that's the point I'm making. I'm not necessarily saying people should hate them. But they should sure as hell distrust them.

Yes, there's nothing the Democrats hate more than a pro-life Republican black man. So, they'll smear him as much as possible and throw every kind of accusation at him.

But you're the 'independent observer'. lmao

There is no serious case for Voter ID. There is no serious case against it either. At best it's a confidence enhancer, "election integrity theater." At worst it's an inconvenience. It's the political equivalent to "Great Taste!!! Less Filling!!!"

The only way to play it is no "starting over", or starting mid shooting session on a make or something. You have to decide you're starting a round, and finish it out. Even if you're +10 or something.

Steph and Klay would routinely shoot double digits under par from 3, I would think. They, for sure, would need to add a time element to it.

Click to expand...

absolutely. You have to finish the game and not start over. I didn't mean that when I said stretch, I just meant that I'm sure they could swish 18 shots in a row for sure, if you looked at the last 10 of 1 game and the next 8 of the next, or pulled out an 18 shot segment of maybe shooting 50 or 100. The other valuable element of the game is the added pressure when you're down to your last few shots and have a really good score going and a chance at your PR. Adds an element of pressure to it. I think it's a really good drill and I think I'd be encouraging/making kids do it even up to the college level and constantly be asking at practice who had the best score in FT Golf from the week? Great that you can get players practicing FTs/shots on their own, and especially not just putting up 200-300 shots with no pressure or purpose. Really helps focus. Plus, when I was coaching rec league kids I hated taking time from such a limited practice schedule to shoot FTs. So, I'd try and get them to do that and ask at every practice what everyone's best FT Golf score was.
