This is amazing.

Its was amazing. Exactly how I wanted it to be conducted. They spoke about Wiennie aerodynamics, the draft, strategic moves and the puns were on point. I hope it gets bumped to prime time next year.

Won it by a wiener in the final stretch. An opportunity the driver will always relish.

Ok, so what happened with earl? Genuinely asking how did we get here. Was he the first? Was he not part of the union?

Not saying I agree with it. But that’s what always happens. It going to be very interesting seeing how it all shakes out.

Might be a dumb thought.My thought is they couldn’t get everyone because everyone would band together with the union. But if you target the small “iconic” group those companies can throw the generational wealth at and those people are more likely to agree.

I don’t there will ever be a universal rule that everyone likes. There will always be people saying how that want it like how it was when they are growing up and then there are some who love the change. It’s a toughy.

I dont think that would ever happen on that scale to included everyone because it would be too expensive. To your point you are concerned that iconic voices will be repurposed. Ugh idk. Should you stop someone because they have a unique voice or look and have means preserve it.

Idk the right answer. I just try to keep an open mind to different perspectives or angles.

Yeah but it gets real dicey because Earl and his camp have signed off that his voice can be used with A.I.. If the person with the voice is ok with it, it’s hard to tell someone to sit on it. I would also believe there is a group of people who would prefer only his voice be used forever.

I hear you. That an actor is loosing an opportunity. On the flip slide there is a hard working team who is responsible for these improvements and new features. They shouldn’t be at fault for their hard work. I think about all the hours the team had to troubleshoot to create a one of kind feature.

I sense someone is mad they aren’t getting money for something they put no work into.

With that considered. The Mavs traded a player that lead them to the FINALS the season before. Even with all the baggage you mentioned they were a finals team. A perennial playoff team that could become a finals team. Now there window is tiny and not great. OKC and Houston man. They will be better.

I hear you and understand where you are coming from. It’s hard to commit a max contract to a player where you question commitment to the game. You fear a Joel Embiid scenario.

it was the stupidest thing ever. They traded for no future assets and added dinosaurs. Davis,Irving,lively,gafford,Thompson are not a championship caliber team even when healthy.

Yes Luka plays no defense, but an offensive prodigy and beloved by the Dallas fan base.

Still don’t get it.
