College football playoffs projected to expand to 24 teams in 2027. Somehow it takes away the incentive to win.

Brewers take game 2….5-4. Lead the series 2-0. Brewers to sweep.

What a cardiac game. Texas wins 34-27. Hope that moves us up 6 games since several ranks lost today.

24-3 Longhorns with 9:00 left in the 2nd qtr.

Well, the Aggies covered. I really wanted them to win outright. That fumbled snap on 4th and 1 was the momentum changer. Of course when you complete a huge pass in the 4th, the refs always see that ineligible downfield.

Brewers take game 1….3-2. That was scary with the bases loaded in the 9th. Funny how they didn’t let the DP go. I’ve seen players miss 2nd base way worse than that and it counted. That’s why they called it the phantom DP. Brewers to sweep.

Maybe I should have taken them to win. Almost did, but the points made it easy. Still a lot of football to be played yet.

I’ll take the Aggies +13.5

I can see people claiming the rights to broadcast this game. Best rivalry in the state. Bulldogs by 2. Go Dogs.

Did anyone scroll to the comment? “Should have minded his own business”……unbelievable.

When asked if she was married to her brother, she replied, “Not to my knowledge”. What a great answer.

Why I don’t put much stock in polls. The polls saying Hillary would win in a “landslide” was pretty telling. Now this… [Hidden Content]

Well, I was curious to see if what you said could be true. I posted what I found. Later.

I couldn’t say either way. I wouldn’t have taken Correa back anyway. Hated losing Bregman, but Paredes has done a fantastic job. I also would have kept Dubón, but that’s just me. Probably why I’m not in upper management. Lol Also, as a manager, all of my hitters have the green light on a 3-0 count.

Google search: Economists and political analysts generally do not consider the Trump administration's equity investments in private companies to be socialism, though critics and some conservatives characterize the actions as state capitalism, interventionism, or a form of "venture socialism". [1, 2, 3] Why It Is Not Traditionally Defined as Socialism Definition of Socialism: True socialism involves collective or government ownership and centralized control over the means of production, distribution, and pricing (as seen historically in state-run economies). [1, 2] Passive Stakes vs. Control: Administration officials, such as economic advisor Kevin Hassett, argue that acquiring minority shares or passive equity stakes (such as in Intel, MP Materials, or various CHIPS Act recipients) does not mean the government is running the companies or dictating day-to-day business operations. [1, 2, 3] National Security & Market Correction: Supporters—including pieces from the American Enterprise Institute—argue that taking strategic stakes or "golden shares" (such as with U.S. Steel) is a targeted intervention to protect critical supply chains and counter foreign market distortions, rather than replacing free-market capitalism. [1, 2, 3] Why Critics Call It Socialism or State Control Unprecedented Federal Ownership: The administration has expanded federal equity and quasi-equity holdings across dozens of private companies in sectors like tech, mining, and energy. [1, 2] Coercive Levers: Critics from both the left (such as commentators on MS NOW) and libertarian/conservative groups (such as the Cato Institute) argue that conditioning subsidies, permits, or government contracts on handing over equity or demanding leadership changes blurs the line between public and private sectors. [1, 2] State Capitalism: Many analysts classify the model as State Capitalism in America—a hybrid system where private enterprise remains intact, but the state actively picks winners, shapes capital allocation, and exerts political pressure on corporate boardrooms
