I felt the admin should have stood by him and middle fingered the NCAA

Maybe but you have to understand the position. The stuff swirling around the basketball program was potentially a sea anchor to the cash cow of football. It was too large an investment not to protect.

Hindsight says that any punishment would have been vacated, but the administration thought they had to react to the laws of the land at the time. You may not agree with it but you have to see why they did it.

re: CNN bigly mad at Wade hiring

This writer used to write in Philadelphia, I'm not surprised their "style" is overly-opinionated, trashy and brash. If anyone reads CNN for sports news they deserve to be mislead anyway.

For as much as I shite on Fox, their news section on the website was pretty good when I used to read it. It was fairly impartial, and for a site like Fox, that was surprising to me. CNN has never attempted being impartial in anything.
For reasons of anonymity, I do not wish to participate. But please, if I am picked, give my clothes to theantiquetiger so he doesn't have to keep going to garage sales to look for LSU gear. :lol: :cheers:

Why? I know he coaches the bad guys, but from all accounts I've heard he's respected by players and coaches alike.

Another cold hard fact is that it can turn on a dime from week to week, that's baseball.
In ancient times, they associated eating cheese/drinking milk with Mongolian/Steppe culture. Chinese were not a fan of breaking cultural norms.

The problem is the voter is not viewed as the chief constituent. If you look at the history of the term and how it was used, its morphed from the implication that "we the people" were the constituents of our elected official. Today, when someone refers to a constituent, they are more than likely referring to a PAC, lobby or donor that has bought their vote. Without real election reform we will not have a truly free society with a government of people elected by the people ever again.
He was in a slump, no doubt. That RBI double was nice to see though, hopefully he continues to climb out of the hole he's in.

It's Chad, he speaks in oversimplifications akin to a caveman grunting and pointing at animal and fire.
Sensor technology in dryers doesn't survive the brutal conditions inside of a dryer cabinet. I've had my pair of Speed Queen washer and dryer for 11 years and counting, no issues whatsoever.

You do understand it is Democrat spending and policies that created the debt we are in

Yet how many times have the "conservative" Republicans had to undo the legislation that has spiraled us into crippling debt? Every elected official is a willing participant in our bankruptcy at this point.

Clearly that isn’t going to cut it, or whatever it was the jacklegs were saying last week.

First time here after a bad series? Outside of game 2, the Vandy series could have just as easily gone the other direction on the road. It's just baseball, and if anyone thought we weren't going to see some major problems this season was kidding themselves. Biggest question this year for me that I still have no answer for is the catcher. He's a borderline liability at this point, I feel like all we can do is hope he improves.

I was happy to see Yorke bang home two insurance runs, he was in a major slump. A player that unathletic who can't hit is a problem. Hopefully he finds his groove again.
He had one hell of a game, glad he seems to be putting it back together. The bullpen should get better over the season as well, I have faith in the staff.

re: Afroman Defamation Trial

Posted by bountyhunter on 3/19/26 at 10:57 pm to
I've been watching pretty closely since Steve Lehto covered it on Youtube (my mother was an attorney so I geek out on legal stuff). His coverage, specifically around civil asset forfeiture, is really good and I suppose this ended up in his wheelhouse early on due to the money being confiscated in the illegal raid and mishandled/stolen.

The lawsuit was so obviously frivolous that anyone could see that the cops had no chance. The whole idea that a police officer's privacy was violated on private property (who should not have any expectation of privacy in the course of their duties in the first place) was such a laughable assertion that I'm actually shocked it wasn't tossed out. Another good point he made was that news stations take and run personally-recorded footage all the time of police and other public officials. So long as they follow the rules when it comes to blurring faces and other things (which he also did in his videos), they are allowed to operate in this way and make money. The idea that Afroman could not make money off of his own footage was such a shite position that it stank from beginning to end.

I know their attorney is getting the 3rd degree about how he argued the case, but I thought he did a decent job in court for your run of the mill shakedown attorney. However, if the suit has more holes than the Iranian Navy then there's not much you can do to make it float.

She's a big woman with big scary jowels, but I highly doubt the workers were in danger of being eaten by her (unless it was a certain Northeastern pizza restaurant).

Edit: wow, so many downvotes. I know this is a Louisiana-centric board and everything but I'm surprised by the number of chubby-chasers on here considering the OT rating system. Fwiw I dont have a problem with her or her politics, but visually...woof.

Sounds like you need to loosen up and buy one big boy. If you aren't going to Walgreens in tight leather pants to buy your HIV meds and a "Buzzy Butt", you're out of touch.

I never did watch the final season of YS. Was it that bad? Landman is fantastic, so I still have hope for this. I know Sheridan gets a lot of hate on this board for his tendency to overdo the melodrama (yeah, he does), but overall I like his shows.

It was honestly a bit too repetitive and Costner's shtick kept it together for a couple of seasons longer than it should. I also felt like the story died when the kid moved to the Texas ranch; they should have tied it up then with a dramatic ending to the Dutton empire. To me, they could have really tied in to the idea that all empires fall when the tough men that are willing to fight for it no longer there.

It was a pretty good show for a while though. Eventually it just turned into a platform for shitty country music and soap opera-esque (over) drama. I think I started to watch the last season just out of sheer curiosity how they would pull off the Costner absence. I made it to episode 2 or 3, it was bad.
