  1. As is often the case, you're exactly right. But I think the Bill of Particulars omits a critical item: pathological liar. And maybe that's not much of an indictment anymore, but it should be. He bet on games involving his team. He denied it. Then he admitted it. Then he denied it again. But then he admitted it. But then . . . yeah--he denied it again. His story changed with whatever he thought would benefit him at the moment. And his lies damaged the League. Pete Rose was a piece of shit, and baseball is better off for his passing.
  2. To clarify, the proper legal term is "benchslap."
  3. Stars fans have been doing that for 30 years. At least as far as the NHL goes, they were the first to do anything during the anthem. And I'll just go out there and say that playing the national anthem before sporting events is dumb and antiquated and ought to be retired.
  4. I predicted it elsewhere, and my prediction on 2024 conference champions is still on track: B1G: Oregon SEC: Texas ACC: SMU Big XII: Utah Ok--that last one isn't looking so hot. But damned if an all-newcomer slate of conference champions wouldn't be funny as hell.
  5. Kentucky getting only six votes is puzzling to me. They just beat Mississippi at Oxford and lost by 1 to Georgia. I'll acknowledge that the loss to South Carolina was not great (to put it mildly), but isn't that what we expect of teams in that 20-25 range?
  6. Goddamn Big 12 refs.
  7. Just amazing. And what a change in the SEC from when Alabama and LSU would play 7-3 games.
  8. We live in a universe in which my Ponies are going to beat Florida State by more than the Longhorns beat…you know what—don’t even fucking worry who the Longhorns played. We’re watching SM fucking U kick the shit out of Florida State. Unreal.
  9. The SMU Band mockingly playing the war chant is the content I’m here for.
  10. Buncha fucking appellate lawyers arguing standard of review all of a sudden.
  11. That was fantastic!
  12. Thank you for your forbearance.
  13. Wrong—the DB really didn’t touch the WR. The WR launched himself backwards to try to get the flag because he knew there was no way he was going to get to that ball because it was so badly under thrown.
  14. Make-up call.
  15. What a shitty call.
  16. F-15s. Watched them from my office. I'm really enjoying the new "fly-bys need some practice" thing we've got going on. Last week, the Apaches practiced on both Thursday and Friday.
  17. Dude--I'm a quarter Texan-German. I'm quite familiar with the history. But if you think I'm going to let a small thing like facts get in the way of a quality shitpost on Surly, . . . well, friend--you just haven't been paying attention.
  18. Huh. You mean to tell me that a small Texas town populated heavily by the descendants of people who came from Germany in the late 19th Century might have some political opinions that are maybe a bit pro-authoritarian and anti-racial-equality? Wow, I mean . . . I just wouldn't've ever guessed.
  19. I doubt he could afford a ticket.
  20. You know, I really don't like the A's and I think their fans are garbage. But damned if I'm not more than a little sad. Garbage though they may be--this is some bullshit. No fanbase deserves this.
  21. Not much anymore. I do general litigation (including covenants not to compete, which is the case I'm involved in as I sit here in a Zoom hearing). But I don't really do a lot of employment counseling anymore.
  22. Are you getting that from the website or from a sales person? If the former, you ought to pick up the phone and call them—those guys work on commission, and they want to put you in this new Buick today.
  23. By the way, with your trip coming up you ought to call and see if they have any upgrades available. With the upgraded suite, you get the premium wifi and free dry cleaning (as you noted). And the free dry cleaning really helps cut down on how much you have to pack.
