Realize the 49ers are crippled, but fuck 'em. And fuck every team in the Bay Area. Aaron Donald is a monster.
That was a beat down. I was actually near the stadium for my kid's soccer game, and literally, by the third quarter, people and cars were streaming out of the stadium. By the beginning of the 4th, it was ridiculous. Thought we would be stuck in major traffic. Turns out we got home earlier than expected. For all the crap LA fans get for leaving early, that is the pot calling the kettle black. I haven't met more hand wagon fans than Bay Area fans. From the Sharks (leave early experts), the Gnats (most of whom are attending aren't even fans, they 're corporate free-bees or clients of corporate big shots), to my most hated group....Warrior's fan who have all of a sudden crawled out of their parent's basements to start wearing Curry jerseys....until only more rich corporate assholes get all the seats in their new SF stadium, to these losers, the 49'ers who just can't get off a pretty guy's arse until he busts up his knee by being stupid......then it's other excuses about how bad their roster is by comparison. Bay Area fans are the worst. They talk so much shite....and yet disappear when their teams suck. And the VC, tech-bro, white wine sipping assholes permeating the stands and the luxury loges are just the worst. The kind of fans that get free luxury box seats and then barely watch the team....on the freaking big screen TV in the box while sipping free wine and canapes. LA fans fickle? Right....mirrors are a hellava thing in the Bay Area.
Venture Captial douche bags who claim to have discovered the next big thing in tech, until you find out they were from rich douche bag families who had more than enough cash to burn, so they they gave it to Buffy, their most beloved douche bag son, to gamble it on nerd jerkoffs who wanted to sell dog food online. VC....Venture Captial...VC...,.Viet Cong.....same douche bags....different sides of the economic coin.
Helluva rant there @Gebbeth !! I agree fully and can confirm it's worse when one works in tech in LA dealing with VC's from the Bay Area. You left out pretentious, arrogant, insuferable, entitled. In fact aside from Wall St. bankers, it might be difficult to locate a group of worse behaving spoiled rich white guys. I have dealt with ~two dozen VC firms and WOW what a collective group of self adoring twats. In fact that's harsh to twats, I'll give women a break on this rant. Just this one. The whole Bay area 'we're more politically correct than you (yep), we're more metrosexual than you (good), we're more kind to others than you (BS) and WE see that future that you peasants in SoCal can simply not grasp" type of prattle. Try me. Yeah the VC crowd has some really smart players but they are not the ONLY smart humans and when huge ego fed narcissism rules the roost it rots your brain to mush. See Example #1 = POTUS. I was fortunate enough decades ago to be a VP at a SoCal firm that had a luxury suite at the Pond so we were given box seats for Ducks games a couple times back when my son was young and played hockey. It was sweet. And in the suite you SO do not pay attention to the game. TV on or not. Not at all. The waitress is bringing appetizers. Then bringing you comp adult beverages. Then coming back with an ice cream serving cart for the kids. What hockey game? So I completely agree. Of course I'm not so much of a hockey fan so it was chill. I completely agree that the new Staples center has soooooo many luxury boxes that it ruins the vibe of the arena. What vibe? is what you notice many times. Where did all the fans go? they're missing great plays? They're being served ice cream..
Amari Cooper traded to Cowboys. Gruden is tearing apart the team McKenzie built. Gotta figure McKenzie is getting canned soon. Raiders actually got a steal getting a 1st for Cooper.
I always liked Cooper but he's too erratic to be counted on for 3rd down and he's not even the best 'Cooper' in the NFL anymore since he's now with the Cowboys it's open season on calling him out.. for anything Also completely agree that Gruden is cleaning house and McKenzie is soon to go
Big time steal, especially given that he's about to be a free agent. Coop's talented, but obviously, the brick hands aren't ideal. Third 1st round pick added through trade. Hopefully somebody comes with a 1st for Carr as well
I'll understand if they want to give Carr a 2nd year in the system, but I'll also get it if they want to trade him and draft Herbert. They could get an early round pick in return and shed 22M in cap space as well if they move Carr, similar to the cap space they got in the Mack trade. Cooper was up for a new contract too, so that's future cap space as well. Your Ohio State guy Conley is on the trade block as well, reportedly
I’m not sure I like Chucky’s plan. If you don’t like Carr, and he’s auditioning for his job, why let Cooper go when any new QB will still need someone to pass to? And after you already got picks by giving up Mack so early? The 1st rounder the Cowboys gave up was a stupid move on their part, but I’m assuming at least one of the Raider 1st rounders will be used on a QB. I mean the sequence of events in terms of giving up on a potential HoF in Mack to get picks, then to give up on Cooper for a first rounder.....it seems like a series of haphazard moves. They should have signed and kept Mack (equivalent to a high first rounder....but with proven ability), then if they really wanted a first rounder, trade Cooper for their QB pick.
The problem with that is Cooper can't catch, so he's not going to get your QB draft pick nor should the next QB's development be attached to his brick hands. Nobody's trading a Top 5 overall draft pick for Amari Cooper. Dallas' draft pick and Chicago's draft pick next year could be used in combo to move up in the draft, but that may not even be enough either. RAIDERS don't have to worry about that though if they themselves just keep losing games this season, their pick will be Top 2. But they've got 2 first rounders in the following draft as well to help move up if they want, if it comes to it. Just won't likely happen, but that's the point of stacking draft picks, to have options. The trades aren't over either so stay tuned
It is the opposite. To strike a larger audience they are mixing in WWE entertainment style stories as well as pro boxing spectacle without softening the bloodsport aspect. Closest version of gladiatorial games since old Rome.
Other weird thing about the Cooper/Cowboys trade, Cooper is best deployed in the slot, all the numbers suggest such. But the Cowboys already have a pretty good slot with better hands in Beasley. SL either they're going 4 wide a lot with both in the slot or they're going tight formations..or they're going to just misuse Cooper and Prescott is in trouble. OT: Suspensions for Conor and Khabib have been extended, hearing on Dec. 10th. And the NAC also voted to release 1M of Khabib's 2M purse
yeah and they're not alone it seems.. thought I was reading somewhere that several teams are in hunker mode already. Sad. But.. for the Giants?? HahAahaah LOL Snort.. go sit down Eli this was your last season
had NOT heard that news yet.. Let Khabib have some of his money but we'll see what shakes out on Dec 10th Khabib going over the wall attacking Conor's camp is crazy Khabib's team coming into ring attacking Conor is also crazy Not sure what Conor and his teams issues are but F him he can cool his jets too.
Demetrius Johnson getting traded to OneFC for Ben Askren. So disrespectful but I'm happy as fuck for Askren to finally have his shot in the UFC. Tyron has his next opponent, he better not lose or they gonna trade his ass too.
