What will AAPL do?

Yes. When I include the things I'm seeing with the in-game coaching, absolutely. This is a mess beyond comprehension.

Pick up a few NBA cast aways before the new year and we can still make the Tourney!

Breaking today...

Former Detroit Pistons second-round pick James Nnaji has enrolled at Baylor and is immediately eligible to play for the Bears' men's basketball team, Jonathan Givony reports -- a significant development and unprecedented path to college basketball.

He was just on Instagram live shooting in a big stadium with maroon seats. Couldn't make out what the floor said. Maybe Missouri State?

Quote from: Scoop Snoop on December 24, 2025, 02:54:46 PMMerry Christmas! Time to set aside the umm.. "unpleasant" things in our lives as scoopers and enjoy being with our loved ones.

I just finished rewatching a movie that I have not seen in years-Hoosiers-and it was the perfect flick for me today. Covenant House, an organization in many cities that shelters homeless teens and tries to bring them into their facilities before sex traffickers get to them, had ads during the broadcast. I hope you get a chance to see the ads. If you are not moved by them, you have lost your humanity.

Last year at this time, at the request of our overburdened Animal Control, we agreed to foster a young, abandoned dog I found over the holidays. She was our Christmas pup, desperately needing shelter from the unusually cold weather and she was severely malnourished, with her entire skeleton easily visible. She shook like a leaf from fear, and I believe we were her very first loving humans. We sadly surrendered "our" sweet pup after 9 days, and my wife and I both kept reminding each other that we agreed that we were not filling out an adoption form at the same time. Had we been 10-12 years younger, we would have. Even though we had her for only a short time, remembering her will now be a Christmas tradition.

So those are my Christmas stories, What are yours?

My mom must donated frequently to Covenant House.  She passed away just over 2 years ago but the charity mail all forwarded to my house and CH sends the most mail. Lots of "....we miss your help." "We haven't heard from you lately?".
I feel guilty knowing it helps children and she made frequent donations.

What's the latest with Zaide?

Did Zaide travel home for Christmas?

Quote from: ghostofcorms77 on December 23, 2025, 01:38:37 PMI'm sorry. I was told his contract was fully guaranteed, and we had to pay other staff members, which brought the number closer to 14m.

Haynes was hired at $420k just for clarity sake.

lol you keep changing your story. $14M is not the number, dummy.

Die Hard around the flagpole time.
Ho
Ho
Ho.

Unlike Nnaji, Justin has signed an NBA contract, making him ineligible to play in college (for now, anyway).
