  1. 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.
  2. Ok. But that’s definitely not a hostile takeover by any reasonable definition.
  3. What are you referring to?
  4. 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”
  5. 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
  6. That’s not the point. The sports washing is the point. Yes, there is a clear difference.
  7. 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?
  8. What the fuck
  9. “… to take the competitor off the board…” That line will lead the FTC lawsuit
  10. 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.
  11. "They're scary... to get involved with," Mickelson was quoted as saying. "We know they killed [Jamal] Khashoggi and have a horrible record on human rights. "They execute people over there for being gay. Knowing all of this, why would I even consider it?” "Because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reshape how the PGA Tour operates. “They’ve been able to get by with manipulative, coercive, strong-arm tactics because we, the players, had no recourse. "And the Saudi money has finally given us that leverage."
  12. As a jilted fan, this reminds me of Crane taking $50M to move the Astros to the AL. “Yes, you are absolutely going to lose a portion of the fan base you’re fucking over, but here’s a bag of cash”.
  13. What the actual fuck?!
  14. Two 79s and two 95s on the same card. Golf.
  15. The new A7x album is absolute ass. Lulu is more tolerable than this self indulgent bullshit
  16. A second term Biden, 0%. However if it happens before Nov 2024, there is a legit chance he gets cornered into committing to it in some centrist strategy
