She's the 15th leading scorer in the WNBA in average points per game.

I've flipped. These WNBA players suck; can't shoot worth a damn, they bully everyone, especially Clarke, it's like watching Rugby. I'm rooting for Clarke now. I think she will get to the point she leads the league in scoring. Down 2 last night with a few seconds left, she in bounds the ball, the one that caught the ball dribbled toward the basket and missed a layup terribly; Clarke would have been open for a 3 to win. I think she had no intentions to pass it back to Clarke, so they lost. These other WNBA players seem to hate Clarke, fock that; they suck. I look forward to Clarke dominating this stupid league now.

Mookz, you're my favorite poster here!

Probably doesn't want to list any residence he actually ever lives at or visits to avoid any potential psycho assassinating him; I mean given he's running for President and with the history in his family.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/20/world/middleeast/iran-raisi-death-supreme-leader.html By Erika Solomon May 20, 2024Updated 2:30 p.m. ET He is known as a man in the shadows of Iranian politics. Yet Mojtaba Khamenei has a powerful influence over a country that rarely sees or hears him. For years, the son of Iran’s supreme leader has been speculated to be a potential candidate to succeed his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. That speculation has grown with the death of Iran’s president, Ebrahim Raisi, who many analysts said was being groomed to replace the supreme leader, who is 85. Mr. Raisi’s death in a helicopter crash on Sunday will not only trigger new presidential elections. It could also shift the dynamics around the selection of Ayatollah Khamenei’s replacement. “When people started talking about Mojtaba as a potential successor in 2009, I considered it a cheap rumor,” said Arash Azizi, a lecturer at Clemson University who focuses on Iran. “But it’s not that anymore. It’s very clear now that he is a remarkable figure. And he’s remarkable because he’s been almost entirely invisible in the public eye.” Yet a growing number within Iran’s political establishment have begun to publicly endorse him, added Mr. Azizi. Mr. Khamenei, 55, is the second son of the ayatollah’s six children. A conservative hard-liner, he grew up in the clerical and political elite of the Islamic Republic, established in 1979, and later fostered ties within the powerful Revolutionary Guards. Today, he is believed to play a critical role in running his father’s office. But many Iran experts dismiss the idea that the ayatollah’s own son could replace him as a danger to the system. Since the 1979 revolution deposed Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, a small group of Shiite clerics that run Iran have held far more power than elected officials. But a foundational principle of the Islamic Republic was that it ended hereditary rule. “If the supreme leader turns into a hereditary system, what does that mean? It means the system is dead,” said Mohammad Ali Shabani, an Iran analyst and editor of Amwaj, an independent online media outlet that focuses on Iran, Iraq and the Arabian Peninsula. Mojtaba Khamenei teaches at Iran’s largest seminary, in Qom, but other religious leaders have disputed his credentials. He has not achieved a high rank within the Shiite clerical hierarchy, something long seen as necessary for taking on the role of supreme leader. Where he seems adept, however, is in political maneuvering. A veteran of the Iran-Iraq war, Mr. Khamenei became a friend of his fellow soldier Hossein Taeb, who later became leader of the Revolutionary Guards’ paramilitary unit, the Basij, and later led its intelligence forces for many years. Mr. Khamenei is believed to have other high-level links to Iran’s security apparatus as well, said Mr. Azizi. Mr. Khamenei was accused by Iranian reformists of playing a significant role in the 2005 election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, a hard-line populist, who unexpectedly beat the leading candidates at the time. In 2009, after Mr. Ahmadinejad’s re-election against the reformist leader Mir-Hossein Mousavi, antigovernment protests swept the country. Responding to Mr. Khamenei’s suspected role in the election, as well as rumors of his succession, some opposition activists chanted, “Mojtaba, may you die and not become supreme leader.” Then, in 2022, in another wave of antgovernment protests, Mr. Mousavi, who has been under house arrest since 2011, called on Ayatollah Khamenei to dispel the rumors about his son succeeding him. The ayatollah did not respond then. But earlier this year, he did, as the issue of succession becomes far more pressing. The cleric Mahmoud Mohammadi Araghi, a member of the Assembly of Experts that selects the supreme leader, told the state-affiliated news agency ILNA that Ayatollah Khamenei was vehemently opposed to his son being considered. The Assembly of Experts must unanimously select the supreme leader. Until then, they could choose a three- or five-member leadership council to run the country. Ultimately, the fate of any potential successor lies within an opaque system that critics say has only become less transparent in recent years. “The reality is that nobody knows,” said Mr. Shabani. “And that is crazy. There is zero transparency on a process that affects millions of Iranians.”

He (President Ebrahim Raisi who died in the helicopter crash) was a favorite to become the next Supreme Leader and held very much the same beliefs/goals as the current ayatollah.

That is true. Good point.

I disagree, based on the weather conditions and location of where it occurred. I doubt it even changes anything.

Not my fault you can't read and comprehend a complex sentence.

You're an idiot. What this proves is that the people that watch the biased media toward the Democratic party supported issues gets more votes for them, from useful idiots that watch and believe their mostly lies and/or poor political leanings.

I was just about to post libs/left/dems will support this and leaders will try to get this done. That's how you people work, try to cheat the system for political power. Shame on you. Traitor to democracy and all that is good and right. Where's weepaws? he will have some choice words or bible passage for you.

https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl-fans-us-must-pay-162401014.html NFL fans in US must pay $1,600 a year to watch every game after Netflix addition Viewers will need a cable or YouTube TV subscription as well as Sunday Ticket, Amazon Prime Video, Peacock, ESPN+, NFL+ and Netflix. Cord-cutting fans will need to subscribe to all seven services to get access to the entire 2024 NFL slate, with a price tag about $1,600 based on last season’s pricing and Netflix’s current cheapest offering. That figure does not include the cost of an internet service necessary to run a streaming-only option. According to OpenVault, the average price Americans paid for internet service in 2022 was $64 a month. That will push the total outlay over $2,000 to cover the NFL’s regular season, playoffs and Super Bowl. It will be even more expensive for cable subscribers, who will still need to subscribe to NFL+, ESPN+, Peacock, Amazon Prime and Netflix on top of their cable subscription to be able to watch the league in its entirety. Four streaming platforms will have exclusive games in 2024.

When Harrison Butker finished speaking they gave him a standing ovation.

She knows the difference between reality and fiction, between truth and falsehood.

You pay $70 for a hair cut and beard trim at the salon. People that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Wins and losses is not an official NFL stat for a QB. Prove that it is?

Stop evaluating qbs on wins and losses, that’s not a stat for a reason and it’s a team sport. He’s gotten contracts with two teams to start at an in the NFL. That’s not being terrible. His brother was terrible.

Carr is not terrible. He's actually a good QB, not for fantasy, but good enough to take the Saints to the playoffs if the defense doesn't suck.

Gus Edwards had 13 touchdowns THIRTEEN! I think D. Henry is going to get in the endzone a lot this year.

Marquise "Hollywood" Brown - he's going to light up the scoreboard this year.
