  6. Fake photos are child’s play. In the near future, folks will be able to make videos of Michael Moore praising Trump. So between the fake news, and fake photos/videos, the truth will be even harder to discern.

  8. Y'all gotta go check out the McCarthy interview on YouTube. Peter King interviewed him about 3 weeks ago. Very interesting and good look into McCarthy's vision, preparation, what happened and why he was fired in GB, and his outlook on his next HC job (this is before he was up for the Cowboys job). YouTube....search for "How Mike McCarthy has prepared for his return to NFL | NBC Sports"

  12. I can tell you without a doubt, the day I get asked if I mind being “politely searched” before I go into a church to worship is the day I find another church. Furthermore, as a member of my church’s security team, the day I’m asked to perform “polite searches” is the day I find another place to worship. As a church, we are in the business of spreading the gospel. We do this, in part, by providing an example of a Christlike life. I may have missed it, but I don’t recall anywhere in the Gospels where Jesus ordered His disciples to perform “polite searches” to make sure worshipers weren’t carrying swords.

  14. I've already stated where I trust my news. Give me Thomson Reuters, BBC, AP, Forbes , Boston Globe, and then the WSJ . I will read other sources, but I will cross reference all of the news sources. I do read the Houston Chronicle, because I still like reading the newspaper, but it has become like many other print newspapers. They seem to print many opinion pieces as "fact" or speculative articles. I want the facts and only the facts. Let me decide what conclusion to come to, and quit inserting your stupid leftist opinion into what the news actually is. That is one of the reasons the printed news is going under. To be honest, if I wasn't given the Houston Chronicle by a friend, I certainly wouldn't subscribe, and I've heard the same from friend that live in the DFW are in regards to the DMN.

Paul Gosar tweeted a doctored image of Barack Obama with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and got testy when people pointed out it was fake. By David Moye A Republican lawmaker wasn’t happy when he was exposed for using a fake photo to spread propaganda. On Monday, Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) tweeted a doctored pic that showed former President Barack Obama meeting with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani — an encounter that never happened. The photo was captioned: “The world is a better place without these guys in power.” 49.5K people are talking about this CNN journalist Andrew Kaczynski noted that Gosar was sharing a misleadingly edited version of a photo that was taken in 2011 — when Obama met not with Rouhani, but with former Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. 8,301 people are talking about this Journalist Daniel Medina also pointed out that Rouhani was still in power and condemned Gosar’s attempt to spread disinformation. 6,598 people are talking about this Despite the criticism, Gosar defended his use of the doctored image in a follow-up tweet: “To the dim witted reporters like @dmedin11: No one said this wasn’t photoshopped. No one said the president of Iran was dead. No one said Obama met with Rouhani in person. The tweet says: ‘the world is a better place without either of them in power.’” 11.3K people are talking about this Gosar continued to argue that the tweet was truthful, avoiding the fact that the photo wasn’t. 6,833 people are talking about this But people on Twitter weren’t moved by Gosar’s logic. Rep. Sean Casten (D-Ill.) tweeted: “The world would be a better place if elected officials didn’t share photoshopped images and take pride in being ignorant.” 733 people are talking about this One Twitter user suggested that Gosar had invented a new catchphrase: 38 people are talking about this Some people responded to Gosar’s photoshopped pic with photos of President Donald Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, who actually met. 64 people are talking about this Another user observed that Gosar’s tweet was “only intended to incite fear and hate at a Black Christian man and a Brown Muslim man.” 32 people are talking about this Of course, tweeting bizarre and inappropriate things is nothing new for Gosar, who made news when six of his siblings did campaign ads for his opponent in 2018.

  23. If we go undefeated during conference play, and lose at the buzzer in the semifinals, maaaaybe...The loss to Rutgers isn't bad anymore, and the loss to Alabama is starting to look better. Both could end up being Q1 losses. That said, being a small mid-major, I would rather not leave anything to chance. Win the regular season. Win the tournament. Get an 11-12 seed and I'm okay...

  26. I really don’t understand the love either for him. Probably a solid mid tier college program coach but NFL level? That’s a stretch. All I’ve seen on the internets about him is how he’s a culture changer, a team builder. Guess we’ll see how that translates in the NFL.

  27. The new QB Coach/OC could really be beneficial for Sam. The biggest area I feel he needs help is hitting WRs on the run and awareness - they kind of go hand in hand. Too many times, Sam waits until the route is wide open instead of trusting the route and his read. This really hurts with the long ball because he then tends to under throw the ball. It also causes him to hold onto the ball too long at times. I think he was so worried about throwing an interception that he held back and hurt the QB/WR timing. A new voice and opinion in his ear could be a trampoline to correcting this. We've got to push WRs downfield and throw it so teams will respect it. This will in effect open up the underneath routes to the slot guys as well as help the running game. Not to mention, if there are 3 DBs covering 2 WRs deep downfield, that's less guys to tackle Sam if he takes off from the pocket.

  28. I, for one, don't understand why so many have put Matt Rhule on such a high pedestal. Did he improve Baylor's overall record, of course. But against whom? We all know that overall, the B12 was awful this year. He had 4 wins in 3 seasons against teams with a winning record...the best being 8-5. Did he increase excitement at Baylor again? Sure. I'm just not sure that's all it would take for me to hire him to lead my NFL team.

  29. As he continues to criticize taking down Soleimani...why isn't he playing along and following the script? https://www.yahoo.com/news/tucker-slams-soleimani-intel-now-021950821.html Politics Tucker Slams Soleimani Intel: Now We Trust the Deep State? January 6, 2020, 8:19 PM CST Fox News At the top of his primetime Fox News program Monday night, Tucker Carlson seemingly took a dig at his network colleagues who have suddenly taken U.S. intelligence on Iran at face value after denigrating the intel community as the “deep state” for years. Once again devoting his opening monologue to criticizing the escalation of tensions with Iran sparked by the U.S. assassination of top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, the Fox News host placed the lion’s share of the blame for the push for war on Republican lawmakers and hawks in the Trump administration. (But again, he largely let the president off the hook.) “It’s harder to get rich and powerful during peacetime, so our leaders have a built-in bias for war,” Carlson declared. “So they decided on television studios over the weekend to describe in detail the type of violence they are prepared to wreak on a country very few of them know about.” After taking aim at Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for claiming on Sunday that the risk of terror is “increased by appeasement,” the Fox News star then wondered why there’s been a sudden change of heart among Trump supporters toward the intelligence community. “It’s hard to remember now, but as recently as last week, people didn’t consider Iran an imminent threat,” he noted. “Iranian saboteurs were not committing acts of terror in our cities. Oh, but our leaders tell us, ‘They were about to any second! That’s why we struck first.’” “What’s striking is how many people are willing to accept this uncritically,” Carlson added. “Just the other day, you remember, our intel agencies were considered politically tainted and suspect. Certainly on this show they are, were, and will be for quite some time.” He went on to accuse the intel community of pretending that President Donald Trump “was a Russian spy” before pointing out that it was faulty intelligence on nonexistent weapons of mass destruction that led the United States into the Iraq War. “People pushing conflict with Iran are the same people who did that,” the conservative host declared. “It seems like about 20 minutes ago we were denouncing these very people as the ‘deep state’ and pledging to never trust them again without verification. But now, for some reason, we do seem to trust them implicitly and completely.” In recent days, some of the network’s biggest Trump boosters—who had spent the past three years accusing the intel community of waging am anti-Trump coup and disinformation campaign—have quickly dropped that criticism and defended the intelligence agencies' claims that Soleimani’s assassination disrupted “imminent attacks.” Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt, for instance, said she found it “so interesting that people are critical of the president’s decisions, of our intelligence community’s decisions, of our generals’ decisions.”

  32. Sarcasm is fun, but be let's be realistic just for arguments sake. The Longhorns last NC win was in 2005 and a loss to Alabama in 2010. How many different teams won the NC in the last 15 years? It's a small group when compared to the total number of teams eligible to win the NC. And hate all you want on the Longhorns, but there last two bowl victories were nice wins over two teams that were in playoff discussion going into their conferences' championship game.

  34. You make a well reasoned argument with some valid points. Let me counter with this. I keep hearing that a 16-team playoff is the ticket to a fair path to a national championship. Why 16? Basically, everyone is saying “Let’s model it after the FCS playoffs!” We’ll, the FCS has a 24-team playoff. Has anyone looked at the history of that? Hint: one team has won 7 of the last 8 titles. Let’s replace “North Dakota State” with “Alabama”, “Clemson”, “Ohio State” or “Oklahoma” and see how many people break out in the warm fuzzies. And if you don’t think there’s a coach in FBS capable of building a program that can dominate like that, I wanna show you the Idaho beach house I’ve got on the market. Secondly, it’s a well established fact that interest in non-playoff bowl games is at an all time low, so much so that more and more top players elect not to play in them. So the solution is to utilize those bowls as playoff sites. Ok let’s look at that. You take 10-12 of the non-playoff bowls and integrate them into the playoff, then you fill out the rest of the bowls with non-playoff teams. Sounds simple enough for fans, right? But guess what that means? Because you’re using more of the bowls in the playoff, you now have fewer teams actually getting bowl invitations, and the bowls that are being played are going to mean even less than they do now. You think it’s hard to get draft elgible juniors to suit up for the Gator Bowl? Wait until they find out they’re playing in the New Mexico Bowl instead. Why are these lower level bowls important? Because they give those teams that are on the upswing extra weeks of practice. One of the reasons you see the same 3-4 high school teams winning the majority of the championships in each division is because under that system, winning breeds more winning, and it’s due to more weeks of practice. It’s what is happening in FCS now with North Dakota State. Sure, the off-season program goes from late November till the end of July, but there’s a huge difference in off-season and actual practice. That’s the kind of thing that gives guys like Saban, Riley and Swinney (and the staffs they assemble) a huge advantage. It’s simply a case of the rich getting richer. To account for the extra games on the schedule, coaches will lobby for, and get, additional scholarships to increase depth. That means that the teams at the top will be able to put more of the top players each year on their roster. Football is a much different animal than basketball. The pool of quality players coming out of high school and juco each year is much larger, compared to the roster positions available, for basketball, than it is for football. So if the scholarship limit for football goes to 90 from the current 85, that’s 5 more of the available 4-5* players that the top teams are not only adding to their rosters, they’re taking them away from the second tier teams. Again, the rich get richer. The other argument is that we need to give the teams from the G-5 conferences a fair shot. Ok, so you put them in and seed them favorably against a P-5 at-large team. What happens when a unbeaten SunBelt champ gets taken to the woodshed by the second place team out of the Big10? The argument that they didn’t belong there just got validation. Again, the rich get richer. Occasionally, you will get the December equivalent of a “March Madness Bracket Buster” but those will be few and far between, and pretty soon, the enthusiasm over those teams “getting in” will fade as the supporters of the idea grow tired of the blowouts. My whole point is this: under the current system, the regular season is virtually 14 weeks of must-see TV, because all the games mean something. The farther from perfection you require teams to be to have a shot at the title, the less meaningful the regular season is. As of now, we’re pretty certain that the top team is among the four that make the playoff, and the regular season games are fun to watch. I don’t really think any of this matters. Eventually, the NCAA is going to cave to the pressure from the media and the public and expand the playoff. I hope that my thoughts on this are wrong and that things are still fun to watch. Football is more fun when more teams play at a high level. I enjoy competitive games, and I haven’t seen near enough of those recently.

  36. I loved "The Rise of Skywalker" I do have some beefs with it, which I will bring up in two weeks. There were somethings I wanted to see that weren't in it, and a few things that were in it that I didn't care to see. I will discuss those at a later time, when people have had ample opportunity to go and see it. I can't say it's the best, because I think that will always be reserved for "A New Hope" because it started the craze. I remember going to see the first three, and there were lines to the street from the box office. Few will remember the old Jerry Lewis theater on Spur 63, but then you couldn't purchase tickets online. King Kong, Jaws, Rocky, and Star Wars all had lines down to Spur63 for those movies. I was able to walk right up to the window and select tickets with no lines, and had decent seats for both showings that I've seen thus far. I've developed the old man saga of saying how much prices were back in my day vs. today. My dad would tell me he could go to the movies, a bag of popcorn, and a drink for 15 cents. When I was a kid it was $7, and now it's $30 for one person.

  37. The best concert I've ever seen was the Tesla/Queensryche/Def Leppard concert at Hirsch Memorial Coliseum "In the Round/In Your Face" Tour. Tickets were $15 , and it was a sold out show on November 14, 1987. I arrived early, because back then it was first come first serve seating. There were no seats on the floor. You could get as close to the stage as the gates that surrounded the stage. That's where I made my first mistake. While my fiancee and I were only about 12 people from the stage for Tesla and Queensryche who faced the south towards I-20, Def Leppard came out facing north. I'm not sure if the rotation device for Rick Allen's drumset was broken or if it wasn't able to rotate, but they were facing north. I wanted to see them with a direct view, and not from the backside so we moved around by that time we were at least 120 to 140 people back by the soundstage. I had seen Metallica/Ozzy Osbourne on the same tour that a bomb threat was sent to the Oil Palace that cancelled the show, Tesla/David Lee, Glass Tiger/Journey, Poison/RATT, and Cinderella/ Bon Jovi had also performed that year for their albums that were released in 1986. None of them had the emotion and sound that Def Leppard brought to Hirsch that night. It was the first time that I had ever seen the entire crowd including those in the rafter seats standing and holding up lighters for "Bringing on the Heartbreak". This footage in Denver is the same setlist and epitomizes what I saw in Shreveport that night. Unfortunately they took down the entire concert, but this is the quick opening. : It was an amazing concert to say the least.

  38. Your opinion, which is based on ignorance. You have yet to post anything of substance that causes any point you make to be taken seriously. You are the SDC equivalent of Joe Biden, a creepy old guy who manages to hang around because everyone wants to hear what kind of stupid stuff you’re going to say next. I’m not sure if you’re Creepy Joe’s older brother or Colin Cowherds dad. You exhibit traits that remind me of both.

  40. You're hearing the same things I'm hearing, and my sources say he's "betting on himself" as well as the contrasting perspectives of the offensive staff toward the two QBs. Mordecai perceived as being more "stable" at the position (with less upside), while Rattler is perceived as more volatile (though way more talented). Obviously the coaches are very high on Rattler's high ceiling and skillset, but Mordecai is seen (at least at this point) as the "safer" option. A quote-unquote game manager, if you will. The guy you can count on to go out there, run the offense, check down and make the correct throw most of the time. Rattler, at this point, is seen as prone to go for the high-risk/high-reward options instead of taking what the defense gives. He may get you an 80-yard touchdown bomb, or force a pass into coverage. Granted, these are based almost entirely on what has been shown in practices thus far, not in games, and both QBs had vastly different roles in practice this past season (Mordecai was QB2 and Rattler was the scout team star). Take all this with a grain of salt though, because QBs are gonna have different tendencies when they're behind an entrenched starter (Mordecai) or trying to stand out as a new guy (Rattler).
