  1. I don't think that's true. From Wiki: The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953, enacted January 30, 1799) is a United States federal law that criminalizes the negotiation of a dispute between the United States and a foreign government by an unauthorized American citizen. The intent behind the Act is to prevent unauthorized negotiations from undermining the government's position. So if Trump wasn't negotiating a dispute, it would appear he's free to talk to whomever he wants.
  2. 2022 was somewhat of an outlier. I read earlier that the projected number of homicides for Cook County this year is 570, roughly the same as in 2018.
  3. Last Friday night:
  4. Common misconception. Sikhs do wear turbans, but some Muslim men, especially from Afghanistan and also northern Africa, wear a turban wrapped around their taqiyahs or kufis.
  5. Holy crap. I wish I hadn't read that story. He's now possibly facing the the death penalty: https://lawandcrime.com/crime/son-who-murdered-u-s-army-corps-of-engineers-dad-showed-off-head-on-youtube-and-rambled-about-trying-to-perform-a-citizens-arrest-may-face-death-penalty-da/
  6. One loss and they want to fire the coach.
  7. That wasn't clear. What I meant was that Pogecar's 2024 season is the best season by any cyclist that I've ever seen. It could very well be the best in history by any cyclist ever. Two major tour wins, the World Championship etc ... And not just the victories but the way he did it. I mean, who attacks 100 km from the finish at the world championship? Simply astounding.
  8. Or all of that, followed by being eaten by a boa constrictor. SIAP.
  9. How many wide receivers do we need?
  10. Here's a new mock draft showing Kelvin Banks going # 1, three Longhorns in the top 15, and five in the first round.
  11. Bama DID lose to unranked Vanderbilt. Georgia's loss was to the #4 ranked team.
  12. Records over the last 12 games Lincoln Riley 5-7 Sonny Dykes 5-7 Hugh Freeze 5-7 Billy Napier 5-7 Sam Pittman 5-7
  13. Matteo Jorgenson tried to follow Tadej at the Giro dell'Emilia ... and learned a lesson he could learn in no other way. https://cyclinguptodate.com/cycling/matteo-jorgenson-pushed-just-beyond-his-limit-trying-to-follow-tadej-pogacar-at-giro-dellemilia
  14. Agreed. You work your ass off the whole game and be in that position and THAT'S what happens? Holy crap ... it really does call the objectivity of the refs into question.
  15. Tadej again. Solos to victory from 37 kilometers out. Pidcock second. Evanepoel abandoned. https://www.cyclingnews.com/races/giro-dell-emilia-2024/elite-men/results/ This has been the best year I've seen in my years of really watching cycling.
  16. Perhaps my favorite cycling video of all time.
  17. Maybe Sark should say "Pssst ... hey, Devin ... ever hear of a guy named Johnnie Johnson?"
  18. Dude threw 63 passes tonight. You've got to think his arm was getting tired.
  19. NY Times article: Cam Williams might be a surprise first round pick in the draft. Good stuff! https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5812938/2024/10/04/nfl-draft-2025-sleepers-cameron-williams-preview/
  20. Nice article about Dia: https://touchdowntexas.com/2024/10/04/texas-footballs-relationship-has-only-gotten-stronger-with-4-star-qb-dia-bell/
  21. Texas would crush Oregon.
  22. David Schwimmer. Irrationally, he pisses me off in everything I've ever seen him in. Friends, Band of Brothers etc ...
  23. Apparently, Israel got the whole Hezbollah Shura Council that was meeting to elect Safieddine as Nasrallah's successor. This makes me think that Israel knew where Safieddine has been, all along, and was waiting for this meeting to take them out wholesale, instead of one by one. Israel knew exactly when and where the meeting was to take place. The explosion was massive --- even more massive than the one that took out that first guy last week.
  24. I don't like this development at all. Pig will thrown the kitchen sink at him, NIL-wise. There's too much at steak.
