Merry Christmas Stackers!
I know everyone is busy with family stuff today and rightfully so. I am as well. But I am posting this for anyone that wants to talk NFL or NBA games today.
I will be doing family stuff but keeping an eye on the various games and popping in and out of the thread when I can.
Enjoy your day and the games if you are watching.
Sats for all, GR

Oh man. I was pretty pleased with Lamar not absolutely exploding in the first half but I think he just doubled his fantasy points with that 50 yard TD run. And it’s still early in the third. He is going to put up over 30

I don’t think they have a better chance with Wilson. Ravens are going to win the division. They probably end up going to Baltimore or Buffalo in the wild card round.

Haha. I just have an animus towards Russell Wilson after he owned the 49ers for so many years. Besides didn't he steal money from his own charity?

He definitely stole money from the Broncos

here is chat gpt:
The Why Not You Foundation, founded by Russell Wilson and his wife Ciara in 2014, is dedicated to empowering youth, especially in the areas of education, health, and wellness. The foundation has been involved in numerous charitable events and initiatives, including scholarships and supporting underprivileged youth.
However, there have been some controversies and criticisms regarding the foundation, mainly revolving around fund allocation and transparency. Here are a few points that have raised questions:
  1. Use of Funds: Some critics have pointed out that a significant portion of the foundation's funds has been directed toward administrative costs rather than directly benefiting the youth programs. This is common in many large charities, but transparency is often a key concern when dealing with charitable donations. There have been questions about how much of the donations actually reach the intended causes.
  2. Financial Reporting: There were some concerns about the foundation's financial reporting and the disclosure of its operations. In the early years, some critics noted that the foundation did not publicly provide detailed financial information, which led to calls for more transparency. However, this was addressed when the organization began publishing financial documents, which are typical for nonprofit organizations in the U.S.
  3. Overhead Costs: As with many foundations, a certain portion of the donations goes to operating expenses, such as salaries, event costs, and marketing. For a charity with such high-profile figures as Russell Wilson and Ciara, these costs were sometimes seen as disproportionately high relative to the funds spent directly on charitable causes. Again, this issue is common in many nonprofits, but it still raised some eyebrows.
Despite these criticisms, there have been no significant allegations of misconduct, fraud, or illegal activity related to the foundation. Russell Wilson and Ciara have made efforts to address concerns and have continued to work on improving the organization's transparency and impact. It's important to note that many of these types of issues are common with large charitable foundations, and they don't necessarily imply intentional wrongdoing.
Overall, while there have been discussions about the financial efficiency of the Why Not You Foundation, it has not been embroiled in major scandals or accusations of theft. The foundation continues to do important work in the areas it aims to support.

Trying to get people who don’t watch football to watch.
They don’t get paid to perform. In fact some even pay out of pocket if the show budget is not enough.

Why not just put more football in? That seems simpler. Don't they lengthen the halftimes for these performances?
reply

I guess they want the media hype over the halftime show. Some people like these artists for some strange reason.

Started to feel dizzy and unwell late in the morning and went for a long nap, got up just now. Sucks to get sick on Christmas day. I guess I'll miss out on the family dinner hosted at our home.
Seems like I missed a good one in Knicks vs Spurs, and the 76ers are leading the Celtics?? Debating whether I should turn on the games or just go back to bed...

Go back to bed

41 sats \ 0 replies \ @gnilma 26 Dec 2024
I took your advice and went back to bed. Slept a bit more and felt well enough to join in on the family dinner. Most importantly, to turn on the TV and catch the Warriors vs Lakers game. Man, what an ending! At one point, even all the women (who normally none of them pay any attention to basketball) at the table were paying attention to that Curry magic. I thought it was going OT, but Reaves had to ruin the party like that. Wish everyone had a great Christmas!

Russ with a completely unforced fumble.
Chiefs miss a 48 yard extra point, because of a taunting penalty.
Couldn't ask for much more.

Of course the Chiefs fumble and it bounces right back to them. Only saw that 4 times in the Super Bowl. Mahomes witch doctor should be MVP.
