I just discovered Rick and Morty on Hulu.

It's weird and demented...and pretty fantastic.

I binge watched the first 2 seasons and admit I might be hooked. It's like Futurama (cranked up to 100.)

70 more episodes seem like a lot, but I'm glad it'll get a chance to go and do anything the creators want for the next few years.

I know this is non-sports, but this is non-league as well.

Of course the coach is defending their players.

At the end of the game, one of my players was complaining about a call," R.A.W. Athletics head coach Howard Martin told ESPN. "He made a comment to the referee. The ref didn't like it. So the other team inbounded the ball, walked it up, the ref said to my player, 'Say it again.' Then he T'd him up and kicked him out of the game. And he walked behind him, still having words. Then the ref pushed my player, and they squared up right by my bench. When they squared up, another one of my players jumped off the bench and took [the ref] down. We separated them.

Nothing infuriates me more than encouraging young black men to remain ignorant and uneducated.

Living down to the worst possible stereotypes society places upon us.

Sigh. Not 2 plus 2 but they need to know that less than 2% of them will make it to the NBA.
Stupid.

YES!!!

Basketball is the MEANS to an end.

Not the end.

The kids could have the world in the palm of their hands if they planned long term.

Just think, LiAngelo Ball -- in the past 9 months -- has been arrested, caused an international embarrassment for his college, dropped out of college, forfeited his entire collegiate career, played in a backwater basketball league, gone undrafted, not even received an invite to Summer League.

At age 19...Liangelo has massively screwed up his future. Why would anyone ever listen to Lavar at this point?

His pops has given him terrible life/career advice.

Now other people see this and want their kids to receive that same kind of guidance?

LaMelo is a HS drop out and from what I've seen...Lonzo is well on his way to being broke sooner than later.

This coach is crazy. He says he doesn't condone what his players did but the ref shouldn't have fought back. How about you each these young men that when they have a disagreement the immediately solution shouldn't be to fight.

Disgraceful if true. Actually, disgraceful doesn't begin to cover it.

Aubrey Graham is toxic at this point. I can't even see the Raptors keeping him around with these images floating around.

Nah, in 2018 he has enough fans to survive this. Blind loyalty is a thing.

Good call.

Drake breaks Beatles record with 7 of the Top 10 songs on Billboard Hot 100 chart

NEW YORK — Drake officially owns the Billboard charts, where seven of his songs currently sit in the Top 10.

All 25 tracks from Drake's ultra-popular "Scorpion" album, released on June 29, are on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Drake's new feat breaks the Beatles' 1964 record, when five of their songs reached the Top 10 in the same week.

Capitalism as its best.

MGM Resorts International sues more than 1,000 victims from Las Vegas mass shooting, denying any liability

MGM Resorts International claimed in a new lawsuit that it has no liability in any of the injuries or deaths in the October mass shooting in Las Vegas.

The company, which owns Mandalay Bay and the Route 91 Harvest festival venue, argued that its security vendor took all necessary precautions, approved by the Department of Homeland Security, for “protecting against and responding to acts of mass injury and destruction,” according to the suit acquired by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

MGM sued more than 1,000 victims of the shooting.

“I’ve never seen a more outrageous thing, where they sue the victims in an effort to find a judge they like,” attorney Robert Eglet, who represented some of the victims, told the Review-Journal, accusing MGM of “judge-shopping” in federal court, rather than state court where he believes any lawsuits should be filed. “It’s just really sad that they would stoop to this level.”

Waitaminute! That's the same amount you were offering for your BIL... El Chucho was down up until the Hawks tickets, felt you insulted his honor as a sicario.

Allegedly.

I showed some football friends this a couple of days ago and all of them are assuming it's true. I hope further investigates are going so the truth is revealed.

The funny thing now is that it's morphing into more of a FIL and BIL issue. I might need some 2-for-1 pricing ... allegedly.

Went to my mothers house today and told her enough with paying for cable. ME paying the cable that is.
So, while I already have her setup with my Netflix account, I have also purchased youtube tv for her to have that option, but the Samsung tv doesn't allow the youtube app to be added. Is that correct? So, the route for me to go, is to purchase her a Roku, and the app should be there, correct?

Any knowledge would be helpful.
