  1. I do not think you should
  2. This really is not how mergers are done.
  3. If it isn't the right price then outside shareholders of one of the two might be getting a bad deal. See my commentary above. One other odd thing this reminds me of is both companies apparently used the same investmemt bankers. Hard to ensure a fair price when the majority shareholder of one is the majority shareholder of the other and thr same investment bankers are also on both sides of the "negotiation".
  4. The right price is an issue
  5. See the first question
  6. I have some follow up questions. Was X for sale? Did Musk solicit any other offers? Does it bother the other shareholders of X or xAI that this was a conflicted transaction? Has this received regulatory approval? Given Musk's control of X, xAI, and the regulators will he even bother? Has the deal closed? Or is it just announced? What protections did minority shareholders receive? Isn't it clear that the prior funding round for X was just used as a way to validate a merger price?
  7. FYI, Pinfalls, defaults forfeits, and disqualifications were 1 team point starting in at least 1928. Edit: And it was actually called a pin fall in 1928.
  8. I am not saying you are wrong, it certainly was reported. I am saying I do not think Starocci is a faithful narrator.
  9. By the way, you should all relisten to his appearance on Basch. He specifically says he was mad about what happened during first semester and wanted to unenroll then, but his family talked him out of it. He also talks about meeting with the coaches and how they promised him they would bring in new training partners. Sounds like that did not happen. So maybe nothing changed after all, and that was the problem.
  10. That would be a great follow up question for Rocco Welsh. But his words were, " it was just tough watching everyone else compete and towards the end my heart just wasn't in Columbus anymore." Clearly something changed.
  11. You are doing dumb pretty well, but I think you can do better.
  12. He was being compared to Barry Bonds lying about taking steroids. It was a fair question. What he tweeted in December and what he said this week were two different things, but there was a lot of time that passed too. You were trying to play gotcha.
  13. What was the biggest upset of this tournament based on Pablo? Or maybe top 5?
  14. He is a Rutgers fan. This is some Dean Peterson induced hysteria.
  15. I am not arguing that PSU is better (see above), I am arguing against people using this situation to say they are worse.
  16. I agree that the virtue signaling that goes on with respect to transfers is silly. There are too many who feel my team's transfers are virtuous and everyone else's are villainous. Silly. A big part of my problem with that world view is it smacks of Stockholm Syndrome. The NCAA rules were antiquated and anti-athlete. Now that they are pro-athlete people pine for the good ol' days.
