Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[Ron Swanson]

Vols are stuck with the biggest losers in sports media. What other sports writers consistently dump on their own teams??

If he posted on VN he’d be a FF regular and labeled a “realist”. The truth is he’s a good writer and does a good job covering football but he hates UT, it’s just a job for him. He’s a UGA fan that went to college at UF. He’s not one of us.

He’s a douche. Scrawny thirty something with his ears pearced, always tries to look too cool for the camera, says moronic things like “slinging the pill” and other **** goofy slang, can’t seem to not tweet political stuff when his followers want football content, and can’t help himself from being a condescending clown.

VQ will be better when the cuck is no longer there.

Yea i agree. You have Brent that’s getting all the scoops and relaying them to Austin to break so there’s really no need for Jesse. I would rather VQ hire someone that understands the game and can actually take something from the 9 minutes of practice they get to watch. Jesse just plagiarizes off PFF’s college grades when he does his little film breakdowns. I don’t understand the point in belittling the fan base you’re covering. They literally pay his salary. It’s ok to be objective about the team as a writer but the fans are who you need to trailer your “shtick” to, not against. Not to mention that the whole “I’m better than you simpletons approach is weak af when he probably makes 35k as a support writer on a gossip board.

I’ve recently rediscovered a long lost tea from my time in Malaysia. It is a flavored blend of several teas that comes across like a rich Early Gray, which is generally the only flavored tea I can get into. Really awesome cup

But other than all that, there’s nothing wrong with him.

Probably the only thing that's happening is that her AppleID is still being used on the phone, or at least an ID that is under her family plan. Easy fix: sign in under a new AppleID that you create yourself. Easy to do, go to Settings and you can figure it out. It means you'll have to download some apps again, and pay for the ones that were already paid for by her, but small price there.

Actually, just go to Settings anyway and see what AppleID is being used. Chances are it's an email address you're familiar with. Then you'll know for sure that's what she's doing. Resist the temptation to guess her password and access her data. That road only leads to trouble, not worth it. Just sign in anew.

And sure, if she's technically savvy, she could have put some spyware on there but really, it's probably just that she discovered after she gave them the phone that she was still getting their texts on her iPad, Mac or whatever, so she's taking advantage of it. So just change the AppleID. If she doesn't know the ID or the password there's nothing she can do. Solved, thanks for the free phone. You'll know if it did the trick because she's bound to say something about it.

This is the best answer. She will get mad as soon as she loses the access.

Its crazy how easy AppleIDs make it for psychopaths to control/manipulate and just be sh!tty in general.

I've got a co-worker in an abusive relationship that lives with that. Its really sad. That and Life360 can really be some sick stuff.

Could a savvy phone person answer this question:

Ex wife sent the kids a phone in the mail. An old(ish) IPhone that used to be used by her.

I’ve come to discover that my ex wife has full access to this phone, can see all text conversations, see downloaded apps (and delete them), and as unbelievable as this sounds - she can, from 7 hours away, send text messages from my kids phone.

I never would’ve thought that possible. But here’s how I know - my kids went technology free at 8pm and left the phone with me. At 844, a text was sent from my kids phone to a family member who my ex can’t reach directly on account of being blocked by them. And she used a nickname for that person that only she used so it had to have been her.

My question is - how is this possible? And can it be prevented by changing a setting on the phone itself? Service provider is Verizon if that matters. And her boyfriend works for Verizon, not coincidentally.

Factory reset phone.

If your horse has a bum knee it doesn’t matter how good a coach you have....they are still gonna loose the race. The other two horses I expect to see strides in (no pun intended) next year. He was dealt a pretty crappy hand to be completely honest.

I just don't understand why JG didn't transfer. Specifically in the "Age of Transfers".

 

[rekinhavoc]

First things first. Factory reset the phone. Second, she might have some type of software installed on it. Hence the factory reset. Also, change the Apple ID on the phone. As long as she has the Apple ID for the phone she can do whatever with it. If you change it to a different Apple ID she will have no control of the phone.

This and buy them an android.

It's not just the writers. Our local radio personalities do it as well.

Why is there a blue laser beam coming out of the can? Will this tea give me superpowers?

Long hired as an analyst per Simonton. So that’s done

Upgrades everywhere, even analysts.

Going to have a deep bench of replacements as we get better and other teams start hunting coaches...

The question then becomes..why do our local media hire guys like him? There are plenty of good writers that are fans...

I think the proclivity of a large portion of our fanbase to be masochistic and defeatist feeds into this to a large degree. We are cursed with legions of "realists" that consume negative news like a plague of locusts...hence the reason those guys are hired..

I have spent many years living in rival states..ten years in Georgia, nine in Florida, six and a half in Alabama and now five in Kentucky..and I can say with a large degree of certainty that it is because of us. We put up with, and even encourage crap that other fan bases would ride guys out of town on a rail for. Other fanbases do not put up with it, much less encourage it by consuming every scrap of provocative garbage these guys like Simonton spew on the daily.

I've had a couple of teas from Wittard of Chelsea, but I've not had that one.

According to the ingredient list it's a blend of black and jasmine green tea with bergamot. The bergamot being the flavoring used in Earl Grey. I can imagine that one's quite flowery.

buy a bunch of apps (or as I call them Apple-cations) before you log off using her appleid even though you wont be able to to use them at least you'll have a "play stupid games, win stupid prizes moment"

Buy a Blendtec and ask, "Will it blend?"
