This kick could’ve changed the whole college football season. No timeouts, they literally just needed one stop.

@mtaibbi That’s a solid claim. The cover is a form of advertising, so that could trigger additional kinds of liability. Consumers are being misled by it.

I’ve never taken a dime from any billionaire and Eoin Higgins wrote a book that calls me “owned” and “bought” ON THE COVER. I’m obligated to sue him and Hachette books in this situation. Absolutely outrageous
Nathan J Robinson@NathanJRobinson

I think it's pretty disgraceful that Matt Taibbi is suing one of his critics. Even if you disagree with Eoin's book's conclusion that Taibbi has sold out, it should be legal to make that criticism and Taibbi should respond by rebutting the claim not running to the courts.

What Cohen is actually saying here - in a way that will be confusing to most ordinary investors - is that he wants eBay shareholders to buy GameStop and make him CEO. The "existing shareholders" he refers to are not, as you would expect, GameStop shareholders. They're eBay shareholders. And when he says he wants them to "roll the rest" of their shares into the combined company, he means eBay shareholders will be providing most of the equity in the company. He doesn't say that because it would be a dumb thing for eBay shareholders to do. Even the $28 billion in cash Cohen is promising them is mostly financed by debt that the new company - which, again, will be owned mostly by eBay shareholders - will have to pay back.

$GME CEO @ryancohen unpacks "half cash, half stock": "We have the cash accounted for today, in terms of a highly confident letter from our bank for the $20 billion. Plus we've got $9 billion of cash." "What we're proposing is for existing shareholders to take half of their investment off the table. That would be us providing them with $28 billion, which is a 40% premium from when we started buying the stock." "And then they would be getting roughly — it ultimately depends on when the transaction closes — but they would be rolling the rest into the combined company of GameStop and eBay."

@Strandjunker Grasp this: you're talking in hypotheticals, as we have seen. When the US needed our NATO allies, they said 'no'. End of story. NATO is a fiction.

US troops are not in Germany to protect Germany. They’re there because the US needs bases to conduct operations beyond the North American continent. If Trump withdraws them, he will harm the United States, not Germany. It’s absurd how many Americans fail to grasp this.

Horse racing can't get out of its own way. I'm in NJ. DK Horse is gone. Twin Spires isn't in state. Monmouth Bets not working with new accounts. NJ4Bets not working with new accounts. FanDuel Racing down. Can't bet on Kalshi or Polymarket. Seems like 2017.

Obama donated NONE of his salary. Michelle had a staff of 23. Trump donates ALL of his salary. Melania has a staff of 4. In life there are givers and there are takers.

@ScottJenningsKY the joke is that she married him for his money, but she's unhappy and thus she'll be glad when he goes. it's a terrible joke bc anyone with eyes can plainly see she's constantly doting over him. theirs is a model marriage between a rich man, his model wife, and his mistresses

Disney doesn't care about Jimmy Kimmel or even ABC. It cares about one thing: keeping itself alive. I know firsthand. Back when I was at CNN, Diane Sawyer asked me to help her "reinvent television" by joining ABC. We became "BFFs" for a while, working so closely that my wife thought she had a thing for me (um, no). We announced our plans on my radio program. But then, later that day, I stopped hearing from her. Come to find out, CAIR had gone directly to Bob Iger and threatened to boycott Disney if ABC hired me. He immediately gave the order banning me from appearing on ABC. I asked around and turned up the heat until she finally invited me back on. But instead of the two of us reinventing television, she had me debate an imam about Islam. About a week later, she asked if we could have lunch. As soon as I sat down, she began tearing into my faith, claiming that I hate women (um, a little ironic given that Disney bowed to Islamists). I'm convinced she had to leave there hating my guts to justify the betrayal. I learned then and there that nobody at ABC or Disney was sincere. They didn't hold any true values, except for what's good for them. If my political beliefs suddenly became mainstream, I'd bet Disney would torch Jimmy Kimmel without a second thought. Immediately. They don't care. That's why I know: if you really want to send a message to ABC, send it to Disney's bottom line.

@GeorgeFoster72 Noted. Procter is a better athlete. Iowa wanted him. And they don't want every 5⭐️. I wouldn't bet against him.

@jtd_chi It’s what I said about Wirfs if I’m being transparent. But he did what he had to do. It’s not a sure thing that Proctor will do what it takes.

Whoever drafts Proctor needs to be real with themselves and drop him right in at guard and see if he can become an all pro. 75-80 plays a game vs an NFL rush isn’t gonna be good for him at Tackle
