@charcoded Edit: Grand Seiko. Thank you for attention to this matter.

the thing about buying a flex watch is you have to really flex with it
so the $10-15k rolexes are a waste of money because everyone in your circle should have that amount liquid to drop on a watch if they wanted to
but then above $25k you end up with the same couple models that everyone else has (gay)
plus, you can start getting watches that are cooler than a rolex…
but if you’re going to own an exotic and niche $35k watch, you have to get a few to rotate between otherwise you’re the guy who owns one really nice watch and wears it all the time
okay so now you’re $100k into this just to flex on some dudes who don’t care if you live or die
just buy the seiko bro.

@Neerfan @TCEonSGPN When filled, it was for something other than UM football.

Never let the suits decide things.
Some suit had the idea to destroy one of the greatest stadiums to ever host football games

@Rookietherooks @mike1zr2 The Great Lakes states have access to the Atlantic via the St. Lawrence seaway. 🤣
English
@mike1zr2 Landlocked refers to the sea not to freshwater lakes. Almost every state has lake or river which connects to the sea which is not relevant to the definition or map.
English
My nigga, who looked at a map and decided Michigan was landlocked?

@BrionMcClanahan Springsteen has written like 70,000,000 songs. They weren't all going to be masterpieces.
Conversely, he also has better songs than the Wiggles.
English
Controversial? Not at all. The Wiggles have better songs than Bruce Springsteen.
Ryan Glasspiegel@sportsrapport
My most controversial middle aged sportswriter take: Bob Seger has better songs than Bruce Springsteen

@Athorvin @RaisingCane87 @MiamiCanes1971 And the NFL recently dropped Hard Rock Stadium from the Super Bowl rotation.
English
@RaisingCane87 @MiamiCanes1971 The same stadium Miami drives over half an hour to and rents from a different program just have a home game not filled to the brim with fans?
English
None of these stadiums hosted a Copa America, World Cup, Super Bowl, Grand Prix, National Title other than one. Any guess what that one stadium was?
David Soderquist@Hightop_Dave
Florida is putting together an incredible amount towards stadium renovations
English
@MitchellNole @TJ_Pittinger Burnishing FSU's academic reputation was also a factor. The SEC (except Vandy and UF) was a bunch of community colleges with football teams in the 90s.
English
@TJ_Pittinger People are just stupid.Hell FSU was making more in the ACC for a time period and I think the run in the 90’s showed it looked like a great decision. Another thing is FSU went to the ACC when Gene Corrigan was the commissioner, and FSU had no idea Swofford would fail years later
English
How could Bobby not predict the SEC’s rise due to Nick Saban & the subsequent explosion of media rights 35 years later? Really a failure on his part.
The Next Round@NextRoundLive
What are the worst moves in CFB history? Here is our take (thread ⬇️) Florida State choosing ACC over SEC in 1991
English
@wc56alpha @JWMediaDC There are only 2 private schools in the B1G. One is a charter member and the other is the size of a public university. Miami would be the smallest school if the B1G - *if* they can manage an invite.
English
@JWMediaDC If Miami had an on campus stadium or dedicated, they would be a slam dunk to B1G.
With FSU stumbling around, they may be the preferred choice now.
I think the B1G has every intention of getting a FL footprint as soon as the GOR hurdle is done.
English
That would track. UF and Miami have never got along. So, I agree Miami will not leave the ACC if they don't get a B1G invite.
Just Beachin@nolelifestyle
@JWMediaDC @SEC @bigten @theACC @Big12Conference Miami is not a cultural fit for SEC in any way. So, it’s either B10 or stay in ACC For what it’s worth, I have heard a few times of a rumor that SEC told UF they may add another FL university, but asked UF’s preference. UF chose FSU Just a rumor. Who knows how true
English
@ZODIAC_MF Using the sling like that gives you more leverage to pull the stock end of the weapon into your shoulder.
Similar to vertical grips today.
English
@nolelifestyle @DavidCa83706391 @JWMediaDC Miami would probably do well to stay in an FSU & Clemson-less ACC that gives them an unequal peformance and ratings-based revenue share - and a regular path to the playoffs.
English
@DavidCa83706391 @JWMediaDC If ND takes a bigger stake in ACC and tries to form it to be an elite private/public conference anchored by them and Miami, Miami may want to stay in that.
English
Maybe and maybe not. If Miami doesn't get a Big Ten invite the SEC is unlikely to invite them they could stay.
One Frosty, No Pickles@MCUCF
@JWMediaDC The ACC implodes when FSU, Clemson, UNC, and Miami go.
English
@TimFinigan57734 @Genetics56 Hate watching is still watching.
English
@Genetics56 Have really hard time believing this. They sucked at football and basketball (M & W). I know the whole SEC watched the Bama opener and Miami brought the eyeballs later in season, but geez. They need the $ tho as they will suck again this year and no one will watch.
English
Fwiw, Florida State finished first for the new ACC distribution model and thus gets the largest payout.
Per a source in the ACC
English
@telyhouse Are we supposed to read that in Hugh Laurie's real British accent, or his American "House" one..?
English
Hugh Laurie responded to a criticism of House
English
@JWMediaDC As long as the ACC still has a path to some CFP slots after FSU/Clemson, etc. leave; SMU has an incentive to stay there.
Same for Miami - now that the ACC does unequal revenue sharing based on ratings & performance.
English
@AridoAmSubstack I seem to remember evaportaive (aka swamp) coolers working pretty well in that part of the country.

“The poverty, it’s the poverty.”
They have no AC because adobe and hogans don’t need AC. They act as natural temperature stabilizers. The damn things can get chilly inside on hot summer days. You don’t need AC when your prime constructions regulate temperature as is.

Interestingly, New Mexico appears to be among the least air-conditioned states in the country. No one would guess that one.
English
@SprolesThe @Bob_Janke The US had planes (i.e. Curtiss JN-4). The bigger issue was probably getting them over to Europe in large numbers. It would have been logistically easier to use UK & French planes.
English
@Bob_Janke The US pilots in WWI flew mostly British planes, because we were far behind them in creating capable fighter planes at the time. It's very appropriate for him to fly a Sopwith Camel.

@bjones7774 @RealCesAIzod @JWMediaDC And FSU and Clemson wouldn't have sued the ACC to get exit terms unless they were confident they had a landing spot. 🙄
English
@Stirn7382 @SilversteinAdam Yup. Not a bad version, but "Boardwalk" was better, IMO.
English
@SilversteinAdam If you watched Boardwalk Empire you're just going to be watching a British version.
English
Considering a first watch of Peaky Blinders. Worth it? If not, what should I watch instead? Doesn't need to be the same category.

@PaulVarnell93 @B1OBEY0ND @JaredW67913667 FSU/UF will continue whether FSU joins the SEC or B1G (Legislature is involved w/that). FSU/Miami is in jeopardy if one of those schools joins the B1G without the other as a travel partner.
English
@B1OBEY0ND @JaredW67913667 That’s assuming the B1G offers a full deal.
Not to mention if Florida State doesn’t go to the B1G with Miami either their Miami and Florida rivalry game dies.
English
Here is what is going to happen if the bill passes:
FSU, Clemson, and ND will not agree to pool the rights therefore vetoing the pooling structure.
SEC adds FSU and Clemson
Lawsuit filed against the B10 and SEC alleging collusion and obstruction as the rights can’t be pooled and therefore want the FSU and Clemson additions to be invalidated.
FSU will file a counter suit in Florida State court alleging sovereign immunity, 1st amendment freedom of association, restraint of trade, etc, etc.
There will be an attempted settlement to allow the B10 and SEC freedom of all restrictions of there additions to add whoever they want with special exemptions of various pooling and rivalry concepts if they agree to pool the rights So the B12 and G6 can get media rights revenue raises.
B10 and SEC will listen and either agree or will sue to strike the restrictions down under the 1st amendment.
I am starting to look at June 30th again as a potential date. If the bill looks like it could pass then I could easily see FOX and ESPN adding there additions before a law is signed.
Ultimately I believe there will be an agreement for the pooling threshold to be lowered down from 75% in exchange for the B10 and SEC support.
Just IMO
Mit Winter@WinterSportsLaw
Heavy support from Big 12, ACC, American, and Pac-12 schools. Minimal support from SEC and Big Ten schools. Going to be interesting to see how that affects the bill’s chances of passing.
