One of my favorite actors. Dude was just too handsome. Butch Cassidy was a movie I watched and rewatched as a kid.

Knicks tamper to sign Brunson. Sacrifice 2nd rnd pick.

Hey we got a bunch of those (2RPs) stashed away.

I need to become more skeptical.

Something I wasn't aware that I had called crowdsec
is blocking RealGM.

Anybody know about this?

PS
Seems like I’m not the only one who posts, site is unresponsive, reposts
and we end up with multiple/duplicate posts. I note that there is now a delete
post button in the edit function so dupe posts can be deleted.

I’ve had problems with realGM for about a month now. Messages about malware recently and a lot of pop up warnings of virus attacks followed by new browsers opening to various antivirus software ads. It’s gotten better since I got Nortons but still some request to check if I’m a robot. It only happens when I go to RealGM.

I’ve been using the DuckDuckGo web browser as chrome was constantly giving me issues.

lol crowdsec. That was annoying. A stupid glitch that denied access to chatgpt nationwide as well as a bunch of other websites affected by the same service crashing

It's an old site, and probably doesn't generate enough revenue to be updated

Since I generally detest commercials I keep the remote close so I can mute them. Of course gambling
commercials get muted. The ironic thing is once
muted, all you see is the small print warning you
gambling is unwise.

Or one commercial where the guys desert their dates
at the party in order to hang out and watch sports
so they can see how bets are doing. In my
contrarian mind, other smarter guys are moving
in on their babes.
