Gonna depend, quite a bit, on the exact jury instructions. That might be the “finding out” time for his counsel’s fuckery.

Re: Uncle Joe

Guys - this is the usual R game. Break government, blame government for not working.

Don’t allow anything like reasonable regulation on profiteering.

Then blame the Ds for high prices.

Re: NBA draft

I’m sorry, the biggest red flag is that he isn’t that good at basketball. Is a draft pick, the rookie salary and a roster spot a worthwhile price to pay, to get Bron? In a vacuum, probably so. But to me, it would be just another in a long line of GM Bron moves that isn’t directed at maximizing his c...

How silly would it be if elmarko had declared and was refusing to sign any 2 way contracts
I agree with you. Neither is really draftable right now on his own merits.

Re: NBA draft

I don't think money has anything to do with it. I think they know they can leverage the possibility of LeBron joining if you draft Bronny. They want to make sure that team is pot committed to developing Bronny. I almost wonder if it wouldn't be best for Bronny to go undrafted so he can handpick the...

Re: NBA draft

Seems like common sense. Especially if LeBron is going to be a package deal. Two way contracts have limitations and restrictions. They are looking for a team to develop Bronny. And in return they get a few years of LeBron. They don't want Bronny thrown to the wolves in the g league where very littl...

Re: F the NCAA

Country club sport families were certainly beneficiaries of the old system, and this is another example of something that's going to be a LOT messier and bloodier to solve because the NCAA fought the tide (for so long) instead of riding the wave.

I'm putting this in this thread, and not the other one , because it's only related at 40,000 feet. I would not AT ALL mind seeing college basketball explore a more English/European soccer format, where there are multiple threads in play somewhat concurrently. For example, I'm imagining the existence...

Re: We Lost the Battle for the Republican Party’s Soul Long Ago

cult The price of admission is your soul, and some bootlicking of course. When people talking about needing to take money out of politics, this is, broadly, sort of the point. It's one thing to have actual public-service principles that are disagreeable. It's quite another to have none whatsoever.
