  1. The Mitchell undercut is a play that would be an automatic suspension in the NBA. Unfortunately the NCAA doesn’t suspend players instead leaving it up to the schools.
  2. We sell sponsorship banners to go on the outfield fence at $300 a banner. I will likely get at least 25 banners this season. I figure out what I want to raffle, then budget to buy those at regular cost coming out of banner money, then ask the store if they can donate or help out. Typically the store at least gives me a big discount 30-40% off up to just donating it to the league. Then I get the kids to sell the raffle tickets and have the drawing on opening day.
  3. The percentage of people charged with possession of child pornography but not found guilty has to be really low. When you add on the intent to distribute it has to be close to zero. Maybe I’m being as naive as the OP but it seems like the LEO would not arrest and file charges without the case being a slam dunk. If OP’s friends story was true and he just clicked on a random link in an unsolicited email then immediately closed the site with no other occurrences it would be near impossible to get a jury to convict. The prosecutors would not waste the time and money on those type cases.
  4. @Clarence Worley what did you do to help your friend achieve his dreams? You mentioned having helped him in some way but didn’t say what you did.
  5. @Clarence Worley this is not easy to do but is necessary, I know from experience and have major regrets, but you need to really check on the mental health of your friend. Make sure that he does not have access to any guns. Make sure there are no ways he can harm himself. Don’t just ask him about his mental health but really look into it. Get his wife involved. Do it even if you don’t think it is necessary.
  6. You would think that the case would all hinge on what the email said and then how long the guy spent on the website. If the email said “Click here to see naked underage girls/boys!” or if he stayed on the site for 30 minutes after clicking then he is properly fucked. If the forensics show a random link and that he was on the site for just one minute then he will be fine. As someone who has recently gone through something similar with a friend (it’s all in a thread around here) I can almost guarantee you that your friend is not being 100% truthful. You just hope that he’s lying about what the link said and not whether he is a frequent viewer of said stuff. For instance if he clicked on a link for “young girls” and then immediately got off the site when he saw they were underage then that’s ok but he would still be lying about the not knowing what he was clicking on.
  7. Only thing he can do is to hire a great lawyer and let them do their work. They should be able to get the details of the case. Seems like if it was a sting operation, which clearly seems to be the case if your friend is telling the truth, that the authorities should have access to exactly what he clicked on and how long he views the content. That info would be vital to his case.
  8. I tried to do this but your mom had already bought all of the stores out.
  9. I’m going to do a raffle to fundraise for the little league baseball organization that I run this year. I did it last year and it went well so am doing it again. I prefer a raffle as I don’t have to buy and manage a bunch of products for kids to run around trying to sell. We did a raffle last year and our prizes were: 1st prize - $300 rolling Igloo ice chest, $100 Academy gift card, and $100 Specs gift card 2nd prize - $150 Yeti cooler bag, $50 Academy gift card and $50 Specs gift card 3rd prize - custom made wood baseball bat I will do the baseball bat again for the 3rd prize but need ideas for the first two prizes. Would like to keep the value around the same if possible but can go up if needed for a good prize. Bonus if the prize relates to baseball. I’ve considered a smoker or grill for the top prize, especially if I can get a store to give me a great deal on one. I need more ideas though. Any help is much appreciated.
  10. I liked it but I also never read the books. It’s just your typical action show. Of course it’s embellished and outlandish, all action shows/movies are. It’s great entertainment if you stop trying to nitpick every detail and just enjoy it for what it is.
  11. Your mom pursues depth in her portal.
  12. I disagree and think it is OSU. They have lost almost everyone who was worthwhile, including their 4 year starting QB. They have gone from being a middle of the pack team to dogshit. aggy at least has managed to keep most starters even if they are losing young depth.
  13. Dumb question amnesty: I know the portal deadline is on January 18th but what exactly is that the deadline for? Do players have to request to enter the portal by then? Actually be in the portal after the 48 hour window? Have found a new home?
  14. Thankfully no. This is her first issue with a vehicle. I’m sure mor are to come.
  15. Well fuckers you jinxed me and it finally happened. Wife was in too much of a hurry this morning and didn’t wait for the garage door to fully raise up before backing out. She hit the door and knocked it off it’s tracks.
  16. Even if it was for her boyfriend Sandman should have been able to talk himself into seeing some of it if he had any game at all.
  17. She spent money on clothes to make her look and feel sexier for you and you got mad about that?
  18. Fuck yes! Hope he stays healthy.
  19. You should post the pictures of her you dumbass.
  20. Some team will pick him up and he will be pretty good but not great.
  21. Thanks for the response. On the Boston Marathon they have a list of partner hotels that have shuttles from the hotel to the start of the race. This is in addition to the shuttles from the Commons. Unfortunately most of these hotels and the ones downtown are out of our price range, not Surly 1% here. Sounds like I either need to stay at one of the hotels listed on the website or get her to the Boston Commons shuttles. As far as actually seeing her on the course I am now planning on trying to see her 3 times if possible. She will likely run the race in 3 hours 15 minutes, maybe a little slower since Boston is harder. So my plan is to be close to the start, around the middle and then get as close to the finish line as I can, will also have our 2 younger kids with me. Some of her friends are going to so they may spread out some or just stay with me. I will have a rental car but the train is probably a better idea for getting around.
  22. So can Beard come back tomorrow? Our defense is shit without him.
  23. Fuck DaHobbs. He has yet to win a game for us. Should have been fired a week ago.
  24. Everything you said actually points to them wanting him back, not gone. The players made business decisions to be here. If Beard brings out the best in them and gives the team the best chance to win then they would want him back. That’s another business decision made instead of an emotional one. The players want to win and maximize their draft stock. They aren’t going to kick out a guy that puts them in the best position to do both of those.
  25. I would like to have sexual relations with Kate Hudson. Multiple times. Even in the court room as my wife files for divorce.
