Hurley post game presser X.

Isn’t it the same guy? The American Dream is Dusty Rhodes.

Virgil Riley Runnels Jr. (October 11, 1945 – June 11, 2015), better known as "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes, was an American professional wrestler, booker, and trainer who most notably worked for the National Wrestling Alliance and the World Wrestling Federation, later known as the WWE.

Isn’t it the same guy? The American Dream is Dusty Rhodes.

It was along the lines of Dusty Rhodes was Dusty Rhodes before Chris Farley was Chris Farley hence Farley looks like Rhodes/Dream rather than Dream looks like Farley. Once again the internet has failed nuance.

Also, there's a lot to sink in going on with the crowd facial expressions here.

It's a treasure trove.

Is that Bobby Mullen eyeballing Hurley after Mullen had been waiting for hours to snag the last break room donut and Dan Hurley just casually walks in and snags it?

 

[Chin Diesel]

I get all sorts of Deutschland vibes from these two.

Senator Palpatine making an appearance????

He was a total jackamoe in every college movie from the 80's and 90's.

AI created the same person over five different decades of life.

They are developing AI to replace everything. I guess refs is sports is as good a venture as the one where they are developing AI to replace many in the legal profession like paralegals and some lower level lawyers.

I’ve even heard AI is replacing some posters too….

Many of us already have artificial intelligence.

I think in every sport there's something you could use AI for. Even in football something as simple as having AI control the spots, automate the play clock, and call offsides, it would let officials focus on other things

Wouldn't offsides essentially use the same technology as offsides in the premier league. Where is the player at the time of the hike?

Can he play the 5 though as a backup?

No, he used up his eligibility as a pitching machine.

Let's use AI to ruin sports and all forms of entertainment before it completely ruins us.

Mostly agree, but for whatever reason the notion of consistently called balls and strikes is appealing to me.

Hurley is great. The comments around Karaban‘s bloody eye was biting. Another, not so subtle jab at refs. I’m sure this just feeds the ref retaliation against us. I’m ok with it. It was a rediculous “no call”… a “basketball play” as was noted during the telecast. OBVIOUS ELBOW S UP!

Nasty looking gash (first picture in this link).

No normal basketball play draws blood.
No normal basketball play involves an elbow to the head.

Is Dusty Rhodes a potential mojo captain?

 

[The Yakk]

Not sure how AI would work. A computer would probably call holding or PI on every down in the NFL and a foul on every possession in the NBA. Other than things like balls/strikes or in/out not sure computers could ever get the nuance of the game.

I'm in favor of AI refs for the sole benefit of getting to see some of the showboating, incompetent hacks that currently ref in the BE have to go get jobs digging ditches.

If it also improves the sport, that's a bonus!
