No. I was at best D3 talent in basketball, though.

Fun fact: the guy she dated after me went on to become an all-American Big 10 offensive lineman, and play in the NFL for several years. He was bigger than me... on the top half at least.

I'm sure I've parts of this story before but... I and some other guys played on our team through freshman year, but that coach was such a doosh that many of us quit. Fast forward a few years, and we were shooting around in the gym after school when the girls HS team showed up for practice. The coach, presumably not knowing our background, asked if we wanted to scrimmage his team. They were one of the top teams in their league. OK, if you want... we destroyed them. Blocked shots or rebounds turned into fast break layups almost every time. One of the stars of the team later challenged me to one on one. OK, if you want... I just backed her down every time and scored layups. I'm not a hooge dood (6', 155 at the time) but she was like 5'4" and 105, she had no chance against a guy who knew what he was doing. We ended up dating after that, tho.

Yes, multiple people who were there say it didn't happen. You have a known hack from the Atlantic with an "anonymous source." Just accept that you were duped by one of many October surprises$#@! from the Left/MSDNC to come. I'd ask you to learn from this, but I don't have high hopes.

Yeah, Kelly has no beef. It's October, time for a SURPRISE! for simple minded folks.

That was great, both the girl's statement and the mom's OK with it.

There, I typed it slower for you.

How so? Also nice surgical editing of my post, center-right Trump voter guy.

You shut your BIOTCH mouth! That's not the MSDNC message, get with the program, comrade!

I'm late to this thread so I apologize, but I think a reset might be in order: The same hack faux journalist from the Atlantic, owned by Jobs' widow, who did the uncorroborated "suckers and losers" thing 4 years ago... has another anonymous/uncorroborated statement about Trump this October surprise-time, yet the victims family say it didn't happen and Trump has been supportive, and everyone around him says it didn't happen. But the Left says it probably happened because... "suckers and losers" thing. Pretty close?

It doesn't appear that Rudy HAD $150M. I mean, that's a lot of money, not even Saint Barack has amassed that much, I believe. As such, the penalty seems unduly punitive, don't you think?

I dunno, what is the purpose of the Editorial section of a newspaper? One might think that, for an election, an Editorial section would provide editorials defending each candidate, and let their intelligent readership process the information and decide. That seems like what the owner wanted. You and this "journalist" seem to think otherwise.

$150M, and taking his home and possessions, for two yokel election workers? Seems normal. Nothing excessive here.

She seems not concerned about the lack of an endorsement per se, but more concerned with the lack of a specific endorsement. Unless your position is that she'd be fine if the owner made them endorse Trump.

For the record, I've only been commenting on this pinnacle of journalists being concerned that the lack of an endorsement implies misogyny and racism. I don't particularly care if a leftist rag wants to endorse its candidate. It was interesting to learn though that the owner is, if not a Trump fan, at least not a TDS sky screamer like his editorial staff.

If 99% of your posts support Leftism, you MIGHT BE a Leftist.

Just to make sure I understand... If you support a female candidate because she is a woman, you are NOT a misandrist If you support a male candidate because he is a man, you ARE a misogynist. If you support a black candidate because he/she is black, you are NOT a racist. If you support a candidate because they are white, you ARE a racist. Seem about right?

That's some deep, nuanced analysis by this journalismer. If you don't endorse the black woman, you are sexist and racist? Eesh...

Oh yeah, my fantasy teams have all gotten stage 4 cancer this year. :kicksrock:

Thanks! Alas, no on nVidia. They were a major customer of ours, although not mine directly. I have two friends who went to work there though, one of them back in the 90s. I'm guessing their portfolios are doing well. Fun story about that earlier guy: I joined the industry in 1996 as a field engineer. Right afterward our company had a major SW release, and all of us FAEs went to HQ (your neck of the woods) for training. This guy, I'll call him Sanjay, was the trainer. Young guy, not terribly experienced, kinda quiet and shy. I learned that my fellow AEs were NOT quiet and shy -- they spent a week ripping this guy apart. I was like, whoa, what did I get myself into? And poor Sanjay! He's just the messenger, he didn't write the code, give him a break! Fast forward a few years, Sanjay took a job at nVidia, and worked his way up to being the director responsible for purchasing our solutions. And they bought a LOT. From that point on, Sanjay got his ass licked by so many people from my industry that he never needed toilet paper again. Karma is a biotch.

Also, 30% of Americans never played a competitive sport.

Thanks. I'm an engineer who spent most of my career in sales in an industry called Electronic Design Automation (EDA), which sells complex HW and SW tools to semiconductor and systems designers. Retired a few years ago due to cancer -- there is a long thread here about that, but the tl;dr is that I was supposed to be dead by now but through the grace of God and immunotherapy, I am quite alive and forecasts are positive.

Yeah, that's a great analogy. Trump famously loves McDs. He knocked it out of the park connecting with folks, and you hate that, so you think if you say the word dumb enough, it makes it true.

Well, the original thing was calling it weird. You introduced the word dumb, and other than saying it at least 10 times, you haven't really defended it. Is "dumb" the new word your DNC masters are given you? Joy! Weird! Nazi! Dumb!

Yeah, you get it. He's a billionaire risking assassination to sell made in China tscotchke, and to have the Secret Service stay in his hotels.
