  1. I think the pattern is that the judge will enter a gag order, he'll ignore it, the judge will admonish his lawyers, he'll attack the judge, he'll be fined and then SQUIRREL! and he'll move on to something else for a while.
  2. That 20 footer on the first playoff hole was sick
  3. Well, they negotiated the right to purchase up to 49%, yes. Yeah, much speculation that regardless of the legal fees, there were other reasons to shut it down as quickly as possible. Discovery almost always reveals embarrassing emails, for example. They also we’re struggling with title sponsors at least in part due to ongoing uncertainties. Finally there is FTC investigations underway due to their initial actions re LIV, so they were already walking in a minefield and every subsequent move in the PGA vs LIV lawsuits introduced more risk via FTC
  4. The case just needed some semblance of merit if the goal wasn’t to win, but drag it out and create leverage for discussions about buying in. I’d guess the disjointed team ownership model of NFL/NBA/MLB make it much more difficult for PIF to get their foot in the door. I’d imagine they’d have to not only buy enough teams to have relevance, but pay off the other clubs just to win the right to buy them in the first place.
  5. Ok. But that’s definitely not a hostile takeover by any reasonable definition.
  6. Interesting topic is why the 31 docs specified out of the hundreds the FBI collected. Initial thought was “well, those were the 31 worst ones”, but it actually may be “those were 31 that the intelligence community agreed to being used for prosecution, with **even worse ones** being held back because they’re too sensitive to introduce to jurists”
  7. He was angry about this piece in The New Yorker where Milley is taking credit for keeping Trump from starting a war w Iran in order to stay in power. Trump was countering that it was Milley that wanted to start a war as evidenced by this highly classified document in his hands https://www.newyorker.com/news/letter-from-bidens-washington/youre-gonna-have-a-fucking-war-mark-milleys-fight-to-stop-trump-from-striking-iran
  8. That’s not the point. The sports washing is the point. Yes, there is a clear difference.
  9. Almost certainly either an author or reporter acting like they’re working on a puff piece but actually just waiting for him to confess to the latest crime. How many times has he been burned by that play, in some cases by the same person, even?
  10. “… to take the competitor off the board…” That line will lead the FTC lawsuit
  11. He's fine with it. He's apparently been consistent in his view that they should take PIF money but that he also wanted to see LIV fail.
