So that new thing will be to just bring the ball up and hold it there? Then the "intent to throw" is always there and you can't fumble.
The NFL just ended QB fumbling apparently. :rolleyes: :yack: :banghead:

You'd have thought Germany would have learned to do this during the spring after last time. :lol:
Germany - I know you love to pretend that 1937-1945 didn't exist for Germany, but don't ignore the things you should have learned.

I doubt it was the business. It was likely someone in the office who helped themselves to his things and let the business get the heat.
You call the police and have them handle it. If you have a lawyer friend, I'd ask them to send a legal demand letter to the business and get the ball rolling on theat front.
If for some reason it was the business itself, that would likely dissuade them from attempting to sell the items; especially if there is an out for them to say it was an accident/mistake.
Also contact the marketplace and report the items as stolen. But if you're wrong, be prepared for blowback if you can't prove they're your property.

re: How long before the WNBA finally dies?
Posted by Uncommon Idea on 8/1/26 at 10:32 pm to sgallo3
Actually there is no evidence that the WNBA has achieved profitability yet.
The new media deals could have turned the historical yearly losses to profits but there is also the new CBA and increase in salaries and benefits that might have negated that increase. I presume we'll see a big announcement if the WNBA is actually profitable to prove how great it has become.
While some teams might have been profitable, the evidence supports the belief that the WNBA lost millions every year collectively.
As to when the WNBA dies . . . that depends on various factors. If CC steps away and ratings go down, can the media companies force a withdrawal from the tv deals, etc. It would likely need to be a confluence or sequence of events although their current controversies certainly aren't helping their perception and shorten the leash if something negative happens.

PFT - Chris Olave Deal details
quote:
1. Signing bonus: $35 million.
2. 2026 base salary: $1.293 million, fully guaranteed.
3. 2026 per-game roster bonus: $1.36 million total ($80,000 per game); fully guaranteed (but must be earned).
4. 2027 base salary: $13.64 million, fully guaranteed.
5. 2027 per-game roster bonus: $1.36 million total ($80,000 per game); fully guaranteed (but must be earned).
6. 2028 base salary: $23 million, guaranteed for injury at signing and fully guaranteed in March 2028.
7. 2028 per-game roster bonus: $1.36 million total ($80,000 per game); guaranteed for injury at signing and fully guaranteed in March 2028 (but must be earned).
8. 2029 base salary: $27 million, $13 million of which is guaranteed for injury and becomes fully guaranteed in March 2029.
9. 2029 per-game roster bonus: $1.36 million total ($80,000 per game).
10. 2030 offseason roster bonus: $3 million.
11. 2030 base salary: $29.76 million.
12. 2030 per-game roster bonus: $1.36 million total ($80,000 per game).
The contract also includes $2 million in escalators for 2027 through 2030, based on performance in the prior season. The formula goes like this: $400,000 for being named a first-team All-Pro; $400,000 for making it to the Pro Bowl; $400,000 for 1,200 or more receiving yards; $400,000 for 101 or more catches; and $400,000 for 10 or more receiving touchdowns. (In four NFL seasons, Olave has hit none of those triggers.)
The $1.36 million in per-game roster bonuses for each of the next five years gives the Saints protection against injury. In 2024, Olave missed nine games, mainly due to multiple concussions. He started 16 games in 2025.
Of the amount, $52.653 million is fully guaranteed at signing. By 2027, $77.013 million is fully guaranteed. By 2028, $90 million is fully guaranteed.
re: Remember Wisconsin Brewery That Offered Free Beer When Trump Dies?
Posted by Uncommon Idea on 7/30/26 at 6:03 pm to BoarEd
You probably shouldn't piss off both the left and right when you're in a heavily regulated industry.
Some of it is simple crap but some of it is common sense; like if you contract to have an out of state brewery make some of your beer, maybe realize that beer isn't brewed IN-STATE!

re: Time To Bring Back Movie Intermissions?
Posted by Uncommon Idea on 7/29/26 at 3:12 pm to ronniep1
Decent idea for maybe an upscale movie theater.
But most theaters are just trying to survive so I don't think they're looking to lose a showing just to add in intermissions. :dunno:

The way this is set up makes it seem like a publicity stunt. No one would care after 2 hours much less where you achieve celebrity status and need privacy.

With our police state we now have and the erosion of our rights the past 60 years, he's likely going to get convicted.
It's also the expansion of federal laws. He did technically/arguably break the law. Is the law constitutional? That's a toss-up.
Remember, it's said that most people break 3 federal laws every day because there are so many laws. It's like how you can be arrested for spitting in public on a Sunday in some cities. There are nonsense laws all over the place.

So there is the 4th Amendment that protects peoples' person, house, papers, etc. There is the 5th Amendment that protects people from being forced to incriminate themselves.
But the US can force a citizen to allow unfettered access to their papers (and potentially incriminate themselves) just because they've traveled internationally?
How does that really square? Do we have civil rights or not? It's a hell of a question that might have wide-ranging implications.
