He seriously probably stole the plane to do a barrel roll. That is mad props to that guy unless somebody's dead or something.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Just speculating but I think that one got cut off and his sentence started with "I don't think" or something like that. Pretty sure he was saying he was planning on crashing it.

The NFL doesn't have feeder leagues. It uses universities, which don't pay their players but also aren't set up the same way that soccer and baseball are.

D-I / D-II NCAA and and all the JuCo programs under NJCAA are what I meant by feeder leagues. Maybe not the best choice in words

Football isn't forever and the free ride an athlete gets can give the athlete a chance at a productive life. Athletic scholarships open doors for many low income kids and give many people an opportunity to experience college who never could. There are def things that need to be fixed about the system but I wholeheartedly believe it's a net positive for society and the individual athlete.

Also college football is the reason most of your extra curriculars and women's sports exist.

E: WRS do not have an average career of six years idk where your getting your numbers.

The overwhelming majority of college football players don't make it to professional player after their graduation (or "graduation") and they're usually left with nothing or a nearly worthless diploma.

Is that over Elon saying he was taking the company private for $420 a share? I guess they could try and get him on stock manipulation or something weird like that but it seems a stretch.

It’s not at all a stretch. Musk clearly violated securities laws.

Unless he actually had the money lined up with the intent to purchase. I guess that's what the lawsuit will determine.

I mean sure, he might have had people lined up. But we're talking 80 billion dollars. Because somehow an electric car company that can't produce cars that don't have panel gaps and makes them largely by hand is somehow worth more money than every other car company on the planet.

Part of it probably has to do with him talking that poo poo on Twitter back in June, too. He'd said something to the tune of "you have 3 weeks to close out your positions" but never really followed up on it on that schedule. The floated buyback at $420 might have been one of those "huh, better push that button a little bit harder" things in the same vein since he's always hated people shorting his stock.

It’s actually in an attempt to save his stocks and ultimately his company he’s introducing Tesla clothing merchandise, including short shorts and thigh high socks.
