Or

Yep...but you would be floating until you passed out..lol.

 

[SmokinBob]

Me neither!!















Also, I have never eaten at The Black Olive.

Mike White is on the court moving players around like it's a scrimmage lol.

A lot better than Radithor. You ever seen pictures of Radithor Jaw or pictures of Eben Byers? Crazy.

No...can't say as I have.

I have a pair of Zek Parrot 3.0s

I use them in my wood shop for noise cancelling when I am on the table saw and also on airplanes, both for the noise cancelling

The reason I love them is that they are also bluetooth so I can listen to music while making sawdust

They are not as comfortable as some other headphones I own--and they are pretty expensive--but they rock out the bass so much more than my Apple airpods or whatever they are called

Hmm..that’s interesting I’ve never heard of that brand…how expensive? The Apple max’s are Bluetooth and can use a cord from what I understand..but I agree I feel like Apple could improve the AirPods to compete against other Bluetooth wireless headphones..only downside to that is Apple sells itself so as long as they making a profit they probably won’t change much

My grandmother use to drop rock candy in Whiskey and let it dissolve..

The next day one teaspoon full my cough was always gone and slept for hours..

I just use WT 101 or another bourbon and mix it with some good local honey and a little lemon juice and then warm it up to as hot as I can take it without burning my mouth...it works way better than any over the counter cough or cold medicine.

Sometimes I have used locally made moonshine, but I don't like the taste and it doesn't seem to work as well at opening up my lungs as Bourbon

Well it's a popular sport today, Tennessee needs to ditch the rowing team and add gymnastics.

Tennessee rowing competes in the Big 12 lol..

Pretty sure CRG daughters are on the rowing team so we need to keep rowing lol

 

[butchna]

i would review some game tape, pal.

No...the AD makes enough and has plenty of facilities now to do both.

The Tennessee rowing teams are a fixture...I used to go over to Melton Hill fishing, and I would see them doing their thing sometimes...them folks can MOVE on the water.

I've never weighed in on this debate, mostly because I don't care about basketball; but it seems like the difference between Brady and a host of other QB who are more physically talented. In a random pickup game, MJ would get schooled by quite a few other basketball players. Same for Brady (though football is much more a team sport than basketball, so his strategy of taking far less money than his market value to be on winning teams is the main reason for his success, in my opinion).

But over the course of a long season and long career, when mental toughness and will to win matter a lot more than they do in a single game, both just seem to have what it takes to sustain success despite their inferior physical talent and measurables.

LeBron and Kobe are obviously superior physically to MJ, just like dozens of QBs are obviously superior to Brady from a talent and physical standpoint; but MJ and Brady found a way to win despite that, and that's why they had the greatest careers.

WTF are you talking about? Kobe wasn't "superior physically" to Jordan, they were practically clones...and LJ is bigger, but he is nowhere near as fluid as Jordan.

What have you done???

I think UT should definitely add women's gymnastics and men's soccer. Both sports are huge in the state, especially Knoxville. There are multiple gymnastic schools in Knoxville alone. Plus, for the last decade+, Knoxville has dominated boys high school soccer. Of course, I've been saying that for a decade and it still hasn't happened

 

[DD4ME]

What is 15T?

Blackhawk repairman. They can work up to being part of the flight crew. One of his goals.

 

[SCvol333]

Do you smoke crack often, or was it just for this post? You think MJ would get schooled one on one by "quite a few other basketball players". That didn't happen. It wouldn't have happened. Not to Prime Jordan. Now that he's an old man? Sure. But not to Prime Jordan.

Not only did this never happen. There are many stores of him working over NBA players in 1 on 1 well into his forties.

No one ever has or ever will be clearly superior than MJ. Just an absolutely crazy thing to think.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Right.

I just don't get the disrespect or hate. Both versions of both sports had their positives and served their purpose at the time.

I appreciate both. I loved watching 80s, 90s NBA as a kid. And defensive football growing up. It served its time and place and was elite.

And the same for now. Some are just inflexible and unwilling to change. Or, in this case, full of cognitive dissonance, as you astutely pointed out.

It's f'n garbage...you call it cognitive dissonance, I call Crystal clear clarity.

How can you watch this garbage and not see how f'n SLOPPY it is?

easy..........Pizza doesn't need Pippin

Pipperoni makes it better though.

We're currently at 84, and supposedly max is either 82 or 83 with scholarship sanctions, so the coaches must have some idea that more are leaving in the Spring.

Or they decided to tell the ncaa to go eff themselves.
I fully support that decision!

Jay Williams just said on College Gameday that he believes Dalton Knecht will be a top 5 NBA draft pick by the end of the year

Many have said he is the #1 pro prospect in the entire SEC.

To avoid piling on or coming across judgemental, I will just say there have been some freezing cold takes today.

 

[DD4ME]

Cold pizza is great..........with a left-over beer from the night before.

Even bad pizza is good. The same way Jordan wins with the flu.

WTH is Teqball and why is it on my TV?
Combination of soccer, table tennis and volleyball.
Whoever came up with this drank a lot of old fashioned cough syrup.

I love watching weird sports for 15 minutes for no reason.
