Still pretty hopeful all the head injury stuff will halt rugby’s expansion.
Always subtly bring it up at work around people with kids so it might make them think about letting their kids play.

They are either unlisted or listed in other States so they wouldn’t get the same coverages. Likewise Ardagh packaging at $12bn EV, listed in NY, is 1st-2nd in its sector.
I don’t think that’s as bad, she’s just getting muddled on stage.
Respect for the ref, fans socializing and watching games together and physicality left in the game, what’s not to love?
Why does it grate on you? From what I’ve seen most people who hate rugby are from Dublin and didn’t go to a private/rugby school and see the whole scene as privileged tossers, whereas I grew up playing in rural Ireland and whilst it wasn’t even the third sport in the town it always garnered interest and I’ve found nearly everyone I’ve met through rugby from the Atlantic coast and south Dublin to be good people. Some tossers too, but they are the exception in the same way as any sport.
And are you seriously asking me to pat the fans on the back for not attacking each other?
The language of the game is awful, so much crossover with corporate bullshit, that’s why the love it I guess.
Physicality? You know what else is physical, a fat guy running into a brick wall , that’s all rugby is.
Could be a decent sport if they cut a few players , might allow a bit of skill and individual flair in instead of automatons going through “the process “. Never seen it but assume rugby 7s is a better watch

Commentators seem like tools. he bet 3 bets all in with bottom pair on a river against air.
- He is up ~$250k over 69 sessions. He won 62 sessions.
- He played 277 hours on stream, so his winrate is $902 p.h and 750bb/100
- He won $21k at 10/25/50, and the rest was at 1/3, 5/5 and 5/5/10
- His suspected 'accomplice' commentator went to Vegas for a period over the summer. Mike only played a handful of sessions and posted a losing month, include an unheard of loss of $6k one session. Once his 'mate' arrived back from Vegas, things picked up again.
- He keeps his phone on his lap pretty much all the time and constaltly checks it. This ties in with his hat which seems quite loaded, and is thought to have some sort of transmitter/reciever inside it. He is always playing with it in between decisions.
There are so many hands, but here's some of my favourites. His reads on the game, and his instinct to know that these moves will work is astonishing. Godlike...
The 54o hand Denny mentioned - 3hr42:30
SPOILER
One of the most ridiculous hands of the lot. Playing 95o in a moster aggressive pot
SPOILER
The river play with 88 - 20mins
SPOILER
Knowing where you are with 76.. - 41mins
SPOILER
J10 soul read - 2hr46
SPOILER
63 knowing you're ahead
SPOILER
The list goes on and on and on and on and on...

I always find it a good total wanker spotlight to ask someone 'whats the rule in rugby about xxxxxx?' If their reply begins with 'well acshally rugby doesn't have rules, it has Laws' then you can write them off as a twat.
Asking GAA people 'what time is the kick-off?' is a good equivalent.

Psv dunno if you ever played rugby. It’s a wonderful game to play no hiding place except on the wing where I played most of mine 😀. Anyone that hurls has busted broke fingers hands and ore helmets a few scars in the head. I used get that holiday it’s only posh cunts that played it my school was 40 quid a year very posh. When we played with the town we got guys to play from other schools even estates with council houses they never had a chip on there shoulder. Played club rugby up here with Mexicans poles Africans white and Black Russians anyone that was willing to give it a go. Great times great comraderie and a big of exercise the odd medal and nights out and trips away. You sound to me you might be a bit lonely join the rugby club there in strand hill they will probably be very welcoming.

Shit was real then and still is now at the time it felt like a more immediate threat than sat climate change does now. In the tense atmosphere that existed then if someone as batshit crazy as Trump had been let get that close to the codes there is no way they would have been left alive for as long as Trump has been. I'm somewhat optimistic if there was any serious escalation now they would have him out of the picture within hours.Turning millions into thousands

Not only does he seem to what other players have, but he also appears to know how the board is going to run out.
There's a few theories floating around. One of the main men behind the stream, and a commentator Justin Kuraistis is getting a lot of fingers pointed at him. He's the guy that went to Vegas for a few weeks, and all of a sudden, Mike couldn't win a hand. The feeling is that he is eiter feeding him the info to his phone, or some other techincal thingy.
Another theory is that he has his phone plugged into the USB charger at the table a lot, and someone mentioned that it might be possible to access the RFID program that reads the cards.
There's a lot of talk about what goes on inside his hat, and is looks different during the game, as opposed to chatting after the game.
Edit - SP posted the pic above
This is probably what is happening, and what will happen though

touch and go on the proper civilian
I still pronounce his name Golly Moh Li, think someone once told me it was Holy Moly. Maybe I was being trolled, shrug.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.
