Think this was a bit of a formality. But the irony of the whole situation is amusing.

Should be good sports fans.

Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Chris Tucker, and Marlon Wayans star in it.

Of course.

Very dumb of her to be over there in the first place, let alone with an illegal substance.

Yet still, Wiggy talking like she deserves to be in this situation. She is being used by Russia as a political pawn.

Nobody deserves that.

That's why you don't go to another country, especially one that, even in the best of times could be described as a ''frienemy'' and a hostile enemy during tense times and break their laws. If you're an American, they will look to make an example of you.

She may not deserve it, but stupid should hurt and right now it does.

Hopefully she learns from this...especially given that she is now experiencing what life is like in a country that really is the things she accused this country of being.

I dont think she "deserves" to be in the situation- but I find it extremely hypocritical- and to be the DEFINITION of woke virtue signaling- when you will hide in the locker room for the national anthem- but then take a bunch of money from Russia who is notoriously terrible on race and gay rights. While American has its fair share of problems- I find it just incredibly hypocritical to take a bunch of Russian money and not think twice of their awful record on human rights- and then virtue signal in the US. Perfectly happy to take Russian $ and keep her mouth shut when she would not even be able to get married in Russia and face discrimination in a much more profound way.

I hope she gets out of Russia as soon as possible- but not before people like Paul Whelan who have been there longer and did not commit a crime- and that maybe when she does get back- she has a little more appreciation for the ole stars and stripes.

So...........you avoided it in the NBA THREAD......

That whole Mayfield is bigger in Leaveland than 'Bron didn't age too well, huh?

 

[DJ Fieri]

A few vape cartridges is the true definition of "drug trafficking with intent to distribute?"

Seriously?

I avoided the "NBA" thread about Baker Mayfield?

and- yes- the day the Browns beat the STEELERS in the playoffs- Baker was bigger than LeBron ever was. If you had any clue how much more popular football is in Cleveland- you would have an actual clue.

and SO- you avoided in the NBA thread the fact that the Lakers have the worst bench and supporting cast in the entire league according to me- beside a few teams that are tanking---- care to show me 2-3 teams the Lakers have a better 3-10 then? NO? didnt think so.

obviously the point just flew over the top of your head.

my point was that she will hide in the locker room and protest in the United States- a country that- while not perfect- affords her sooooooo many more rights ---- while going to Russia- which outright bans gay marriage and is incredibly discriminatory and even has laws on the books saying its a crime--- but has no problem gobbling up and performing for them and taking every last penny she can get.

No, clearly I missed it.....If the Cavs had signed Toscano and Jones or Bryant or both.....you'd be touting what a great job their FO did......LOL.

I went through the teams- and I couldnt find one that was close- the Cavs are trying to give away Cedi Osman who would easily be the Lakers best supporting player. lol.

 

[DJ Fieri]

And Sexton......is still a FA. What? Over a week since FA started? LOL.

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Lakers have the worst bench in the NBA? LOL.

 

[DJ Fieri]

We get Irving?

And even coach aka @tlance (1 of the most respected NBA guys on this site) said we're a possible top 2 seed in the WC......LOL.

 

[WiggyRuss]

its called strategy DJ- something you know precious little about.

There is practically no cap room around the league and he is a restricted free agent. The Cavs have all though leverage. Its simply a waiting game to get him at the price that they want---- or sign and trade him for something they want- and keep open the possibility of a max-slot next offseason for a big free agent.

again- the person that is self-admittedly losing sleep all weekend over a Kyrie Irving deal- that has no patience and just wants to throw up assets to get a deal done instead of using time as a leverage point makes it pretty clear strategy and tactics are not exactly your strong suits. LOL.

 

[WiggyRuss]

what non-tanking teams are worse? I have asked you multiple times and you refuse to answer....I would be HAPPY to make an exercise out of it. lol.

Bro.....if your Cavs had signed Toscano......you'd be like, "OMG, his defense and his championship experience, for the vet minimum? We made out."

Bryant or Jones? "Very good options at backup C."

Walker? "Young and athletic."

Stop it!!!!

About to crash. Almost Midnight.

@WiggyRuss if you're some high priced gun aka hired LAWYER.....it's almost 1am there......you should PROBABLY get some sleep.
