We have to protect Alan Jackson at all costs

The fact you mentioned Alan Jackson before mentioning George straight will definitely offend a lot of people…but I’m just here to say let’s protect both at all costs

The fact you both failed to mention Dolly is the most offensive. But you’re forgiven!

So, once again, their argument boils down to, "We want amateurism and free market NIL will destroy it", when that's specifically what Kavanaugh hinted will get them murdered by the SCOTUS.

Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh rips NCAA in antitrust ruling, says it 'is not above the law'

Justice Brett Kavanaugh's opinion tears into the NCAA, says its business model "would be flatly illegal in almost any other industry in America."

Kavanaugh said,



So, the NCAA goes into a lower federal court and argues, "Yah. If you say we can't collude to limit their NIL capabilities, we'll be prevented from effectively colluding to limit their pay."

WTH are they thinking?

Maybe they are trying to model it after medicare and insurance companies screwing over physicians. On average 2-3% cut in payments annually over the past 20 years by Medicare. I make less per patient visit or procedure than I did 20 years ago. Never has medicare issued a cost of living increase for physicians. But it does annually for hospitals, DME companies, etc. Congress gets an annual 3-5% salary increase for their cost of living.
Why doesn’t SCOTUS address that? As it is, the cost of taking care of medicare patients was a break even situation last year. In January, we received another 3.5% cut. I feel for the athletes. If you have always wanted socialized medicine, it’s coming courtesy of your elected officials…

Sorry, different subject.

For everyone that needs it.

February 6, 2024: In these days of chaos, it is even more important for you to stay on course, and do what I have given you to do, to see what I have given you to see, and to know what I want you to know. It takes very little time to come into My presence and quiet your soul so that you can perceive My will. Do not neglect your spiritual duty above all else, says the Lord. Psalm 42:1-2 As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?

I’ve heard this from so many surgeons and industry reps. (Which while reps are important I couldn’t care less if they make less lol) A lot of the ortho guys I know say they try to make up the difference by doing more volume. One guy has switched to operating Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. His only clinic day is Wednesday where he and his PA see around 100 patients a day and stay booked out by about six months.

I heard from some younger guys that by 2030 they’ll be more people needing total joint replacements than there are surgeons to do them.

Insurance companies and hospitals are a big part of what is ruining healthcare in America imo. A couple surgeons I know that work at surgery centers say they can make more money and can charge patients less at their surgery centers vs the same procedure at a hospital. And can pay their staff more at surgery center as well.

tom needs to chill. really think we will need more state's to join us. I half expected other's to have joined already.

Perhaps in the TRO is in our favor they will.

They are all either cowards willing to let us take all the body blows while they watch from the side, if not actively seeking to use this to harm us in recruiting while we fight it out, or complicit in the status quo.

I hate all of them, they make me wanna puke...what I don't understand is how they don't realize the truth of this...they are next...if there is a next.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

There is a strategy that would say... Let Tennessee and Virginia do their thing, if it goes well, we all win. If not, well, better them than us.

They are ALL next.

 

[peaygolf]

That appears to be a fake Donde account. Last name misspelled on the @ line. But idk if the shirt is real. Should be if it's not!

I’m sure the account isn’t real…….just funny

Certainly looks that way.

After the Cubs, the A's were my favorite team and Hershiser and Kirk effing Gibson made it a very unpleasant October for me.

Yeah...but watching him chew up that loaded A's lineup like he did was freaking crazy.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Our game with them is in Fayetteville where they have several good ball handlers. This year they are definitely bottom dwellers in the conference.

If the Razorback football team is anything like this..they are probably short on Tight Ends but loaded with Wide Recievers..

All my BB cards went in the bicycle wheel spokes.

I used to use all the Red Sox cards. Destroyed a Carlton Fisk rookie card, best $250 I ever spent.

The NLRB has ruled that Dartmouth Men’s Basketball players are employees.

Edit: a union election has also been ordered.

They're not even basketball players for Judas Priest sakes. If they are employees then Dartmouth hires the handicapped.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

good one

Saw a video of him talking 2 weeks ago (video could be older than that, I suppose it is). . . he was really skinny, you could tell he was real sick, but even then he didnt look 62. I guess I always thought he was younger than he really was.

I get it… but George straight discovered fire so as men we gotta put him at #1

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

Nope

As a human being, you gotta put Dolly as #1, that woman is a saint beyond just musical talent.

Dolly serves George Strait coffee & eggs.

Man I got no words for this. Rooting for a Texan over an in-state icon the likes of Dolly Parton? Phew. I got nothing to say to that.
