  1. And he was the starting safety for the Legal Eagles. Wonder if my roommate the starting QB has ever mentioned that in public.
  2. His "six books" are all self-published and all about winning injury cases. They range from 16 to 66 pages. Most have no reviews. Two have one star: This is more of a pamphlet on why you should hire their lawfirm. In the 58 pages, there is probably 4 pages of content. Most of the information is repeated several times, and 90% is geared toward getting injured workers to hire their firm. If you want to hire them great. But just google the "author's" name and read about him there. If you are looking for information there are much better resources. This may be the worst $20 I have spent on a book. https://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Store-Brian-Beckcom/s?rh=n%3A133140011%2Cp_27%3ABrian%2BBeckcom
  3. Guy's bio is one of the most self-aggrandizing things I have ever seen. https://www.vbattorneys.com/attorneys/brian-beckcom/ Brian Beckcom is one of the leading lawyers of his generation . . . . Trial lawyers tend to be world-class egotists, but geezus criminy.
  4. One curious thing about addiction. The mindset that seems to accompany substance abuse is one of something I call "inward-dwellingness," a peculiar form of selfishness or self-centeredness. It doesn't always or even usually manifest itself in vanity or attention-seeking (but it surely can). Oftentimes, it's something of the opposite, a crippling insecurity and feeling that everything negative is somehow your fault (but also realizing that insecurity can manifest itself in self-aggrandizement). A sizable part of recovery from addiction is "right-sizing" one's ego and recognizing that it's not all about you, neither the good nor the bad. I've seen some stuff where Kiffin makes the right noises about recovery. But this kind of stuff makes me wonder if he's headed for a big crash. We're all subject to being bullshat by these guys, but Sark seems to live his recovery to a greater extent than Kiffin.
  5. The best part of that scene is the prelude, with Penn buying a half-dozen cokes out of the machine.
  6. He used to be. Sporting a bit of a gut now. I suppose he'll lose it pretty quick.
  7. I don't believe hiring Jimbo would relieve eaTme of a single penny of their obligation to Jimbo. And, I am not suggesting anyone hire him, but he does somewhat expose the fallacy of the "proven winner."
  8. Yeah a lot of people keep thinking this $21M revenue share cap is a spending cap on all sources. The revenue share is all-new (well, bags under prior systems notwithstanding) and yes, it's capped. NIL is not capped.
  9. Jimbo has an MNC and I'm hearing he's tan, rested, ready, and rich.
  10. No, no. I have been assured that Sark is a stubborn, drunken idiot that won't change anything to fit his players especially since his personal life is out of control.
  11. Or his name and title embroidered on his shirt. Seem lots of presidential seal shirts over the years, never one with a name on it.
  12. That was kind of bizarre. Almost like he was bowing or acknowledging the ref.
  13. Just turned it on, what happened?
  14. Is he though? That was my first thought when I first saw this shit. Wiki says he served from 2003 to 2018. Most reports seem to indicate he voluntarily or involuntarily separated. I will say, though, that I think there are apolitical people in the justice and military arenas that are deeply offended by this shit. And they don't need political backing from Democrats to avenge it. They do need to be freed from political interference by Trumpco.
  15. Note that I didn't say he'd ever be prosecuted. HOWEVER, the statute of limitations on homicide type offenses seems to be long, and given the cracks showing in the GOP, some people are getting scurred. https://sfstandard.com/2025/10/07/citing-fear-democratic-vengeance-curtis-yarvin-says-may-flee-u-s/ Also, in that NYT piece about 60 lawyers that resigned or were fired from DOJ, quite a few were talking about the need for retribution. And not in a partisan way, but rather these people have abused the justice system and need to pay. And this doesn't necessarily require the "commitment" of a Democratic administration. They can just give up Hegseth to the ICJ and the DOJ doesn't have to get its orders directly from the President, or even the AG.
  16. Purely anecdotal, but LaHa seems to have a pretty high success rate. And, it doesn't seem to be second or third tries, either.
  17. I find it exceedingly gruntling that our diverse, top __% student body can still generate crowd noise the same way a bunch of top quarter/1100 SAT white guys could for 1990 U of H. That tells me that the kids are still having the kind of experience most of us did. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
  18. Damn. Seems like a good guy. Hope he can get it together with another off-season. But seeing number 4 on the field on offense was disheartening this year.
  19. Gotta believe Sark had deluded himself into believing he had a finely tuned machine and avoiding off-season injuries was all he needed to dominate.
  20. One thing I will say about this OL. You could find them helping up their fellows that they often just got blown up. That hasn't always been a thing.
  21. I think Arch is still perhaps a bit "psychologically delicate." In that he needs some success to build on, and conversely, when we have early fuckups, it makes him press. I'm not criticizing him, unduly. It's a testament to his mental fortitude that he survived the preseason hype and the early struggles. But I think he still has a tendency to fall back into a "prove yourself" mode/eminem, Or get into it.
  22. Kind of like OU, their D would get "mindless penetration" into the backfield that Tre could punish. I think the general rap on the OU D is that burnt vegetables coaches them that way, while A&M's might be as a result of playing mostly shitty offenses.
  23. Graham Harmon is the Iraqi Information Minister. I could make a more "local" and current reference, but I'll stay quiet, piggy.
