Hey, I'm still a disgruntled Houston Oilers fan. Sue me. lol

In all seriousness, if Bud Adams had been a little more patient and waited four or five more years to ask for a new football stadium, the Bayou City would've been more than happy to build a new stadium. Hell, he could've had NRG Stadium. But he got too damn impatient and asked for a new stadium during a losing season. We told him no, which prompted him to threaten to move the team to Tennessee, we called his bluff, and he followed through with it.

In retrospect, we should've sued him for everything associated with the Oilers before moving. We could've gotten the same deal Cleveland got when Art Modell moved the Browns to Baltimore. (Cleveland got to keep the Browns' history and colors and Modell rebranded the "old" Browns to the Ravens. The NFL treats the Ravens as an expansion team that started play in 1996.) But since Adams had already threatened to move the team before (he had threatened to move the Oilers to Jacksonville in the late '80s, which is how the Astrodome expanded and Jacksonville ultimately got the Jaguars since it was promised an NFL team), we decided we had had enough of his bull**** and weren't thinking clearly. (That's how I'm choosing to remember it. lol)

Bwhahahaha.... this is how him buying Twitter started.....

Buy it, make it honest NEWS ONLY and they'll be on every tv at our airports.

If Elon bought it and returned it to doing real journalism, it would be the Number 1 news outlet in the country in a year.

Bwhahahaha

I'm with you on this. Houston should be the Oilers. Baltimore should be the Colts. Washington should be the Redskins. Who else am I missing?

Well, he already bought a pseudo-presidency.

Who's crying? And I didn't cast one vote for that woman.

And I'm glad you'll take Elmo. He's running the show now. Wonder how long JD will sit by and take it?

At least we'll know who's running things unlike the last 4 years.

NBC

Just to start...

lol---still, if he took over CNN and did it right---the other fake news outlets would simply wither on the vine once people clearly understood they are just propaganda outlets for the DNC (the election proved majority of America already knows this). A reasonable old style news network that told both sides of the story and reported the issues of the day in a professional and truly non-biased manner would quickly become the most trusted news source on TV. Honestly, the first step in healing the divide in America is having people at least agree on the basic facts surrounding each issue. Right now, each side, depending on their news source---is likely to be in command of the facts surrounding only one side of the story or issue at hand. Back in the day, we all agreed on the facts---we just differed in the best way to tackle any given problem. Coming to a reasonable compromise was possible because we had a basic understanding of the facts and the other sides concerns. Today, we dont even agree on the basic facts---- and because of this---we see the other side as completely unreasonable---perhaps even evil-----so arriving at a reasonable compromise solution is virtually impossible.

Should one of you that he hasn't blocked explain to him that's not a woman?

For some reason, Dems can't tell the difference.

I'm not acknowledging Richard Levine's "female" name. He's a dude who got his dick chopped off because he suffers from serious mental illness. Serioulsy, that's not a woman.

Nor is this a woman. (It's William "Lia" Thomas, a male swimmer who couldn't hack it against other male swimmers so he claimed to be a trans woman in order to compete against actual women and win. In other words, a damn coward.)


THIS is a woman.


As for Elon, you can't be serious. With all the bullcrap we've had to put up with from what was essentially Obama's third term (though he can't even run for POTUS anymore because of the Twenty-Second Amendment), you're going to pull that? El Oh El the irony and lack of self-awareness, man. Trump put Elon and Vivek in charge of getting rid of wasteful government spending. If anything, Trump's running the show. Elon's in a position to give Trump his advice personally, but Trump is the one making decisions, not Elon.

I was wrong. I guess the election really did break you. You're not even trying anymore.

LOL at tommie bois. He's completely broken.

There really is a difference. He certainly had his heart set on a different outcome for the election.

This, too, considering he's going to be helping Trump cut down the size of government. Ideally, they'll cut it in half, but even just getting rid of some of the nonsensical bureaucracies will go a long way. The point is they should at least start the job, and hopefully, Vance can get elected to finish it.

I'll be happy cutting the workforce by 20%...it is going to be a slog...
