@NBA @BenStiller @nbafinalstrophy I guess it’s only fair he gets to hold after spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to watch a shit sport

I won’t pretend to be a sports guy but shouldn’t the playoffs of any major sport be something for the fans who’ve followed the team all year not celebrities and rich douchebags

@Massasplinter69 @AlbertBreer Too damn stupid to see we agree. Sigh.

@MapleMcGee23 @AlbertBreer Yea maybe I’ll sit out against Abilene Christian and be cured

Here’s the full ruling on Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby.
For those who don’t know, to get an injunction, you have to prove you’ll have a substantial likelihood of success in court. NCAA rule is black and white. Sorsby admitted he broke it. So … he’s got a great legal team.

@MapleMcGee23 @AlbertBreer Factually he’s a real piece of shit just like everyone else as Texas tech

@AaronParnas @RichardGrenell The reporting is false. You haven't been able to fly near the Whitehouse and most of the capital in over two decades.

EXCLUSIVE: A commercial airline pilot filed safety reports after nearly being blinded by lights from Donald Trump's UFC structure when flying into Washington, D.C.'s Reagan airport. My latest with @MeidasTouch: meidasnews.com/news/white-hou…

This should have been a flagrant foul on Wembanyama. They called this same foul a flagrant on Brunson in Game 4.
Tough to play 5 against 8.
These refs are BULLSHIT.

@Massasplinter69 @AlbertBreer I’m by no means defending sorsby or tech, but your “source” is factually wrong.

@MapleMcGee23 @AlbertBreer Yea sure pal. Zero integrity whatsoever. Truly a disgusting institution in Lubbock

Incredible how College football survived,
Paying players
Gambling / point shaving
Steroids
Academic fraud
Recruiting violations
Booster slush funds
Cars and cash for recruits
Sexual assault coverups
Embezzlement
Fake classes
Ticket scalping
Sign stealing
Drug trafficking
Academic cheating
NIL tampering
Church money scandals
“Hostesses” recruiting scandals
Tattoo-for-memorabilia schemes
Bag men
literal FBI investigations
But Sorsby placing bets in games he had no impact in is what will kill it.

@ku_grant The integrity of the entire sport is at risk!

@_CATNERD2 @tStocktonTTU Oh, his post forced you to say stupid things? I’m sorry, I didn’t realize you were backed into a corner.

@MapleMcGee23 @tStocktonTTU "Difficult when the first paragraph of the "breakdown" is fiction"

Excellent breakdown as to why Texas Tech fans are enraged with the extreme vitriol towards TTU from sports media.
If the injunction holds, TTU must legally keep Sorsby on the roster, pay him $5MM & the media’s expectation is for TTU to bench him, while IU & UC get off scoff free
Jody S. Laughter∴@Lubbockist
The Sorsby stuff has been "taked" to death but here is mine after sitting in it for a few days. Barring a change on the legal side, he will be a member of the team in the fall. That's not up to TTU. If he is on the team, he will likely (per contract) earn his full revenue share/NIL money. TTU has no choice in that matter either. The only question then for Texas Tech, is if he plays or if he sits on the bench and earns a paycheck. So what the rest of the country is asking Texas Tech to do, is to pay him to practice, to be on the team, and not play football. This, they say, will protect the integrity of the game. But what did he do that supposedly compromised the integrity of the game in the first place? He placed bets...from the bench. So what we're really talking about isn't protecting game integrity in 2026 at all. We're talking about punishment. Punishing Sorsby for 2022. Punishing Sorsby by paying him $5 million to not play. That's not much of a punishment if you ask me. When you tear away all the bluster and moralizing, what they are really asking is for Texas Tech - and Texas Tech alone - to be punished. Not Sorsby, not Indiana where it happened, not Cincinnati who played him after. Texas Tech alone. The rest of college football would love nothing more, and would be laughing the entire time. Our program should evaluate his mental and physical fitness, and his compliance with the order put in place. We should make sure that, all else being equal, he is our best option before going out on that field. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't. But we should not let bullying, threats, and emotion (from those who already wished us harm) to have any bearing on that decision whatsoever. Strip it all away and they are really asking for Texas Tech to be the only party in this scandal to be punished. The only party who, by any objective measure, has done absolutely nothing wrong. Do that, and the outrage from the peanut gallery will not turn to adulation, or even silence. It will turn to mockery.

@Ace1802Daniel @mcuban @sadatay_ @iztok_franko They don’t get nearly enough flack for blowing up the team like they did

@mcuban @sadatay_ @iztok_franko And then let the whole team break up instead of running it back. You did Dirk dirty man.

@_CATNERD2 @tStocktonTTU My god you need to stop talking. Tech was not enjoined in the injunction. It was only the NCAA.

Why do you constantly use Elon’s platform if you object to him funding and amplifying things/people you don’t like?
Mehdi Hasan@mehdirhasan
@piersmorgan Or inciting violence. If you call that ‘working’. Not sure how you can have so much contempt for Tommy Robinson while also praising the guy funding and amplifying him.

@grok @mcuban @HeatRanger305 This is why it’s having billionaires build companies/wealth is a major net positive. The downstream impacts on employees, vendors and the general economy are material.

Did you ever do that? I see Elon made a bunch of new millionaires from his employees at space x.

Mark Cuban@mcuban
A strong argument could and should be made that every employer should be required to offer all employees stock in the same manner the CEO receives annual stock awards or options, warrants ,etc Whatever percentage of salary/earnings the CEO gets in shares, so should every employee

@Massasplinter69 @AlbertBreer The judge has no relation to Tech and lives in the Fort Worth are…
English
@AlbertBreer You dont need a great legal team if you find the right judge with season tickets and a personal stake in the NIL deal that bought the QB
English
@willie_lutz @AlbertBreer The Lubbock judge recused themself and a judge from Fort Worth took over. I agree he should never play, but there’s no need to misrepresent things.
English
@AlbertBreer Great legal team? Give me a break. The Lubbock judge was never going to rule against a Texas Tech quarterback. Miss me with that.

@Michellek4040 @Lubbockist Convince. All these TT “fans” are bots bought by Cody. No way people defend this.
