spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 22hHard not to. Can't imagine it could get much worse. There are some truly atrocious defenses in the NFC this year; Dallas, Green Bay, Detroit, Arizona, New Orleans. 000
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 09/10/2026They shot a man and fled the scene. That is a crine everywhere. 010
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I kinda felt like the bears purposely played super soft run D early to bait Philly into running the ball then clamped down in the 2nd half. If you combine their first 3 2nd half drives in all 3 games, they have 1 fg on a drive that went 15 yards and 8 three and outs for 18 total yards on 9 drives 001
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 16/09/2026And that's the fault of the people weaponizing antisemitism to mean any criticism of israel. 000
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Yeah, Sheeran rolled right over and then tried to act like he had no agency in the matter to do anything else. Pretty pathetic frankly. At least everyone else on that tour had some integrity 010
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Integrity? He played Kraft's wedding and called him sweet. It makes me question what's on his hard drive 2664
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Is it? Colluding with other venue owners to blacklist artists doesn't sound very legal to me. 000
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Anyone who wants to build bridges with fascists is indeed complicit in fascism. But something something people not learning what their paycheck requires them not to. Also he just admitted his music is soulless and hollow. Probably won't realize he did that or learn anything there either 000
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Sheeran might be technically correct on contractual details but he's dead wrong in every way that matters, including how those contracts were structured in the first place. And this statement is some of the most weasely non commital bullshit I've seen. 210
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 16/09/2026That's why Springsteen is a cultural icon still producing relevant music and Jagger is a worn out greatest hits album sucking the last few dimes out of the fumes of decades old hits, basically a nostalgia bait cover band of himself from when he used to matter. 110
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Prediction markets aren't gambling, they're crypto style money laundering scams. Real sports books don't truck with shady insider info crap because the losses come out of their pockets. Prediction markets otoh are literally designed as insider info manipulation tools. 000
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Remember giannis signed up with Kalshi right after they took in tons of money on a potential deadline trade that didn't happen, and Lebron with polymarket right after they took in tons of money on his free agent destination that ended up a shocker he knew well ahead of time. Crooked as hell 010
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 16/09/2026At least the sports books are heavily regulated and actually track and catch shady stuff going on. Prediction markets are entirely different. They're like crypto, opaque wild west shit that's basically just a money laundering vehicle rife with manipulation and insider info. 110
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Its a money laundering scam. That's literally all it is. 000
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I mean, what was Denver's gameplan to scheme for? Nix was awful. He looked like he had happy feet and was throwing everything off balance. They didn't adjust at all, kept running the same stuff that wasn't working all game. No variation in run game either, just straight up the gut over and over 000
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 15/09/2026The no fumble call raised my eyebrows. I've never seen a ball literally knocked out of a guy's hand and called an incomplete pass. That was egregiously bad. Overturned by replay too. 000
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Ken walker kicked their ass. Mahomes was way, way worse than his box score looks. Almost as bad as Nix but not having to do anything but throw screen passes and hand off to Walker covered for his ass. If Denver could tackle, he'd have topped out at about 40 yards passing. 000
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Not really. Mahomes sucked in that game. 80% of his yards were on runs after missed tackles. Bo Nix was atrocious and Denver's new play caller won't be keeping that gig for long. Colts might be live next week as a td+ dog 110
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Ed didn't determine that, a bunch of rich venue owners ordered him to do it. And he didn't have the integrity or courage to do the right thing. 070
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 14/09/2026You've seen pictures of there right? Israel won't allow anyone in. That 3.5% is verified count. There's many multiples of that number buried under the rubble. The death toll is easily in the hundreds of thousands, not tens of thousands. 050
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I'd argue they're beyond full of shit and into being clinically delusional 040
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Alby know he's one and done does he? I can't point to a single strength this dude has shown. Considering where they are in the standings, I don't hesitate to say he's why they won't be in the post season. He's cost them 10-12 wins, easily. Maybe more 100
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Depends on how they documented that money. The head of the one company already got jail for fraud. They were funneling money to kawhi thru intermediaries as "consultant" fees, its entirely possible there's some tax fraud or other financial crimes mixed up in this. They should be looking into this 000
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Didn't that Harp woman show up with unexplained bruises one day last week? 000
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 11/09/2026She doesn't want "safety in her sport", she wants a fox news panel gig because her basketball career is wrapping up. 061
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Not surprisingly, she was good in both blowouts and awful in the one close game. That tracks with her last month and a half of W games. Doesn't bode well for Indiana in the playoffs 000
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Just ignore thay in the 19 minutes she played, she was 0-6 shooting with 1 assist, 3 turnovers and 3 fouls. 120
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Particularly when the explicit intent of these atrocities is quite literally to destroy jobs 010
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I'm old enough to remember when that was the same argument backing building Walmart in my hometown and giving them sweetheart tax deals. And now decades later, Walmart still has the tax deal but all the local retail businesses are gone and the number of people on public assistance has shot way up 230
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 05/09/2026States should put trackers in some of these ballot mailings and see exactly where they go and when. 031
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Ballmer is Microsoft money, one of the most corrupt, anti competitive corporations of the last century. They should have been dismantled before the millenia. Every penny of his fortune comes from ill gotten gains. 110
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Well if they're not looking for alternatives to U.S. govt money, they're stupid. He'll just keep pushing and pushing to isolate them into deoendency so long as he has leverage to do so and eventually destroy them anyway when they're finally forced to say no without other options. 010
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Plus just looking at titles is shortsighted in the NFL. They have a damn near 50% turnover rate of playoff teams every year. And a 4th place team one year has finished first the next something like 9 of the last 11 years. 100
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 03/09/2026What are you takking about? The NBA has had 8 different champs in 8 years, the first time thats ever happened in league history. And the NFL is a model for parity. You have to be exceptionally good at rolling over your roster year to year to even get a 5 or 6 year run like KC just had. 100
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Normally I'd agree except the cap and floor they pitched would immediately up payrolls by about a half a billion dollars per year. Baseball's problem isn't so much the big spenders, its that half the league doesn't spend 000
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I am really am curious who the sources were for ESPN to say the league had nothing. Did they get played by Ballmer? Doesn't speak well for them that a podcaster nailed it while they either got used or did some shoddy reporting. Guess that's what happens when you fire all your credible journalists 100
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 03/09/2026The most damning stuff I heard was the companies kawhi got endorsements from had consulting contracts for millions with the clips. At what point does this transcend league rules and move into felonies? That sure sounds like some kind of financial crime. Fraud maybe. Sounds money laundering-esque 200
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Contract doesn't get voided so clips can trade him for players/picks instead of him being a free agent? Pennies on the dollar fine for kawhi? I hope the league report is as solid as it sounds. It also means that ESPN report was bullshit. Where did that originate? Who fed them that information? 300
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Weird that they didn't let the raptors trade stand if they weren't actually going to do anything to kawhi. And how's that work? Kawhi gets a 700k fine for $30 mil in illicit deals? No suspension, just keeps that money? They banned Uncle Dennis. I hope the league has their ducks in a row. 100
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 03/09/2026You also wouldn't need an amendment because it doesn't affect lifetime appointments, you just wouldn't replace any that leave. And with current scotus makeup, you could appoint 4 immediately and a 5th during the next presidential term when Kagan turns 70. So 6-3 would become 7-6 and 8-6 soon after 010
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 03/09/2026FDR got an adversarial SCOTUS to fall in line just by threatening reform/expansion. One of the suggestions then was a floating number, with new justices appointed when a sitting one turned 70, not when one stepped down. I kinda like that because you'd know ahead of time when appointments would be 110
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Biden got elected on the back of the largest public backlash to police violence in our history and proceeded to do jack shit but give them more money. Hell, his admin even advised states how to steal covid relief funds and steer it to police budgets. 000
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Cops have been doing that for a long time. Pretty much since the inception of cops. Occasionally, they sacrifice one, like Derek Chauvin who was a crooked cop about to go down for tax fraud anyway, to stifle outrage. ICE has been murdering people for 2+ decades but nobody in either party gave a damn 100
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I'd like the next media person who even mentions the middle class to explain exactly what that is in a world where a top 10% income can barely afford to buy a decent home that isn't in a trailer park or on wheels. 1425
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 02/09/2026You know what a top 10% income is right now? 128k. That's half of what it was a decade ago and 8 times lower than what it was in 1950 in iflation adjusted dollars. The top half of 1% is stealing every dollar from everyone, escalating quickly, systematically making their way up the ladder. 25110
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 02/09/2026He's a hedge find pos, so every dollar he's "earned" in his life is stolen from working people. 050
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 01/09/2026She's not a starter. She's at the end of her career and is a consistent net negative when she's on the floor. She was decent earlier this year, a good spot shooter and team defender, but since she got caught up pandering to transphobes, she's fallen off a cliff to the point of being unplayable. 110
spungoldpub.bsky.social @spungoldpub.bsky.social · 01/09/2026It means her team is losing by that when she's on the court. If you're posting double digits minus numbers in games you're team wins by double digits, it means you are an atrocious player. 020
