My son plays college football. Team charters them. He says great experience.

I flew a team charter on Sun Country once. It was okay.

When we got back to the team's home city after the game, the crew offered us a flight back to our city of origin. Maybe eight or ten people on the whole plane, including crew. That thing went straight up on take off.

Texas already issued a hold order on all movements.

Incorrect.

Texas placed a moratorium on movement within a 20-kilometer quarantine zone. That's a 12-4 mile perimeter from the break out zone in La Pryor, Texas.

Considering the size of the state of Texas, the quarantine zone is a relatively small area.

What would you recommend?

Onion rings.

They are not Mike Anderson's onion rings, but they are popular.

I will add that you should get a steak or chop. Being from Louisiana, I skip on seafood at a place like Bob's.

I have been with people that swear by the chop salad. I'm not really a chop salad fan.

Here we are on page 3 and no one has mentioned how awesome it would be if a pioneering university research and development team developed a test for sepsis.

Oh, wait . . . .

They do not pay when there is an accident. It is always the fault of the person who willingly got in the way of the train.

I would bet that you have parked somewhere that is operated by the same parking company and signed up and you just don’t recall or did t put it together that it’s the same company

This sounds right.

I have been two garages recently that have a QR code to pay. I'm not scanning a QR code that is plastered on the wall in a public space. I have never paid at either garage and I have never gotten a text from either garage. When I drive to the exit, the arm rises and lets me out every time.

Sports is unique in that (let’s say) the Cowboys can’t realize their maximum value without other teams providing strong competition… a league where they just dominate would kind of suck

Agreements that have pro-competitive benefits are normally allowed under the rule of reason because they do not restrain trade.

quote:

---

I think the argument should be, "The owners accept taxpayer money to build their stadiums; now the owners want to deny those taxpayers the benefit of their payments by eliminating access by free, over-the-air broadcasting."

---

This argument is not related to antitrust laws. Stadiums are funded by local money. Antitrust laws are federal.

The antitrust laws prevent competitors (like teams competing with each other) from making an agreement that restrains trade or from merging to form a monopoly. Restraints of trade and monopolies are bad for consumers whereas competition reduces prices and increases quality.

The collective (league) broadcast agreements are agreements by competitors to limit the broadcasts of their games in order to drive up prices. Prices are more now than they were before streaming began and the NFL has used its monopoly and the collective of its teams (who are all competitors) to jack up prices. Consumers are suffering because they have to pay more to see games.

In law, when the reason stops so stops the rule. If the reason was to help the NFL because it was powerless compared to the networks, the reason for the rule no longer exists. It may be time for the rule to be amended or repealed.
