I stay stoned on y’all’s luv all the time ❤️


I'm not much of a country fan but I love that song. Stapleton manages to do something most musicians suck at these days and put some heart and soul into that song. Music in general, not just country, needs a shakeup so bad. What's sad is that locally you can't throw a rock without hitting amazing talent and there are plenty of other areas around the country where that's also true but none of it seems to make it to airwaves in the current industry which would rather stick with mediocre formulas they know will sell x amount but otherwise have very little artistic merit and will be forgotten as soon as some other mediocre artist releases another mediocre song (which is to say almost instantly).
 
Ray Kroc: “We need a brand mascot.”

McDonald’s Board of Directors: “Agreed.”

Kroc: “Let’s make it a clown.”

BOD: “Alright. People seem to like clowns.”

Kroc: “We’ll put him in a referee’s outfit, and then cover him with trash; our trash, specifically.”

BOD: “Wait, what?”

Kroc: “And don’t worry about who we’re going to get to play him. My cousin Keith gets out of jail in about two weeks, and he’ll be needing some work…”

BOD: “uh…”

I think the first Ronald McDonald was Willard Scott. Never knew he was also a serial killer…😳

They can't fire the crappy umps because of the onions. Next best thing imo
I would rather have crappy umpires…. They are taking any kind of drama/excitement out of the game. I will lump all these things together that I feel have changed for the worse for baseball bc of safety, computers, analytics:
* No more physical plays at the plate
* No more breaking up double plays
* limited SBs, hit and runs, bunts
* Shift and analytics showing that hitting into the shift is better than going the other way
* using 6 pitchers a game
-* limited managers arguing with umpires
* over the top suspensions
* This rule will take away batters figuring out how an ump is calling the game…..catchers being good at framing pitches…. Skilled pitchers(already going way) that can make a ball move from being a strike to just off the plate and getting the call…. Maddux was the goat at this.

The game is getting more bland every season.

They need to get rid of the old crappy umps and get younger guys under 45. Older umps relegated to the bases and not behind home plate.

Get rid of the union as well.

Essentially doesn't removing balls/strike calls weaken the umpire union from a leverage standpoint? That's the most challenging element of the job IMO.
