I think there's plenty of that shit in Chicago's cultural DNA, too, just as there is in every other city.

used AI to personalize my Mario Kart. No more weird vehicles, we're all in Subarus now. The courses are the streets of my youth, and instead of shells we're picking up Gobstoppers. Yoshi looks like my dog. All the rest of the characters are sexy ladies who are there because they really want to be

I'm kind of agnostic on Driveline. They've clearly figured some stuff out, but if a front office is just doing plug-and-play on all their stuff and trusting it to work for everyone, they're being lazy.

This is as clearly as I've seen this spelled out. If the PCSA smelled off to you but you didn't know quite why, this interview offers very lucid proof that you were correct. defector.com/an-antitrust...

What you're saying is, the antitrust exemptions in the NBA, MLB, NFL, etc. are allowed as a result of the collective bargaining process, whereas the PCSA seeks a similar exemption by circumventing the collective bargaining process. Is that correct?

Generally, yes. When we talk specifically about labor markets, all of the restraints that we see in labor markets of our professional sports leagues—the salary cap, the draft, the limits on player movement, every single one of them—to the extent that they're exempt from antitrust law, are the products of good-faith collective bargaining between the management group and the players group, and exist in a collective bargaining agreement that was reached through good-faith bargaining.

What is being proposed with the Protect College Sports Act is to establish the exact same types of labor restraints, specifically a salary cap, specifically a number of years of eligibility to compete in college sports, and specifically limits on transfers, but not to do so in collective bargaining where there are representatives in the room, on behalf of employer and employee, but rather through a legislative bill, which seems to be negotiated by a number of different constituent groups, none of which is a representative of the players in any meaningful sense, and absolutely none of which have been chosen and selected by the players as a union representative.

These guys love to do interviews in very windy settings. Is one takeaway from this.

Yeah I had a similar thought before I posted. I didn't want to be mean or just clown on the lady for her appearance but grinding the game tape on the original video got me over the line.
