Well, don’t watch then?

We’re all surrounded by people on hilltops with megaphones. Only you can control what you read and hear.

It made my life a whole lot simpler when I figured this out.

I get what you’re posting and historically I would agree in principle. However, I think we’re now seeing the consequence of people not having the balls to speak truth in the face of wide-eyed fanaticism. If you like the way the wind is blowing, I guess that’s okay.

Then put me on ignore or just shut up, it'll make your life even that much more simpler. I can't stand her and it pisses me off every time I see her smug little face spread all over my screen when I'm surfing the news.

I don't watch. I saw a headline about her trash talking UT because her fiance Lady Bird or whatever hates UT because her alma mater UConn and was trying to drag Candice Parker into it.

That part of it is funny and I hope Candice responds with a good retort. But like the article said, Candice hasn't yet probably "because she's incredibly busy these days". I love some good trash talking.

Lol, sometimes just gotta smh.

Aha, I thought this was about something else Rapinoe tweeted. I just saw the basketball one. That’s completely different.

No one gets to diss the Lady Vols! 🤬

still trying to learn some lessons about entering ncaa brackets, but every year:

I) let biases about vols interfere
2) ever advance a will wade-coached team
3) let biases against the tide ruin my bracket
4) ignore CBS and ESPN and their B1G hype (see end of list)
5) advance kansas and the zags way too far
6) fail to watch enough pac-12 teams (shoulda listened to you Mr Walton)
7) can never find a 10th to 12th seed to reach the elite 8
8) don't give a second thought to the tie-breaking score
9) stayed to glued to the tube for way too many hours
10) pick my alma mater to win 1 game when & if they're so lucky

There is one good thing i did this year, and that's remain in a "big money" in which 75% of the usual 25 suspects are b1g fans

Senior laden teams fare better than the teams with 5 star one and doners

It's difficult when you advance teams you hate. On one hand you are correct in your bracket, but then you have to watch them keep winning.
