At this point the Republican Party probably needs to be put out of its misery.

Pro-grift has triumphed over pro-business.



All Fox had to do was back the ball out, run off as much time as possible and get fouled. He could have put them up 3 with maybe 7-8 seconds left.
It's like the NFL, games are called much differently as the playoffs get farther along vs how they are called in the regular season.

Like the old saying goes, a series doesn't start until a team wins at home.

As a veteran Texas litigator who has fought my fair share of TRO/TI battles, several things to be aware of regarding the temporary injunction order issued to allow Brendan Sorsby to play for Texas Tech this season:

(1) The temporary injunction obtained by Sorsby is valid through the date of trial. So by setting the trial date for after the college football season ends the Lubbock County state district court effectively awards Sorsby ultimate relief; he can play the full season under the TI, excluding only the first two games carved out in the text of the TI order.

(2) In Texas a TI is subject to immediate (“interlocutory”) appeal. The appeal will go to the 7th Court of Appeals in Amarillo, Texas.

(3) The problem with the appeal is that even an accelerated appeal of the TI order is likely to take at least 9 to 12 months, meaning the college football season will be long over before the Amarillo Court of Appeals affirms or vacates the TI.

(4) The only way the interlocutory appeal of the TI order gets resolved before the college football season ends is if the Amarillo Court of Appeals orders expedited briefings and decides the appeal “on the papers” without oral argument. But even such an expedited appeal is likely to run well into the college football season.

(5) At bottom, as Diego Pavia and now Brendan Sorsby illustrate, these sort of emergency injunctive proceedings are a huge problem for the NCAA: hometown judges (in Texas elected at the county level) err on the side of granting the TI to allow the key player to play for Hometown U, and the college football season is much shorter than the appellate process. So the preliminary ruling on the emergency injunction effectively decides the entire case and, if granted, allows the player to play a full season.

One of the problems with being a critic of Israel online (or anywhere else) is that you'll be trying to argue that Israel should follow international law and avoid killing civilians, but then some anti-Semitic nut who thinks he's on your side comes along and says "Yeah, (((they))) control everything and Hitler had the right idea" or something like that.

So what, it's like that with everything.

You may argue that muslims in the US need more scrutiny gvien their historical connection with terrorism and the next person will want to nuke all muslim countries to oblivion.

Same type of thing with black people. Most people who point out that black males account for a disproportionately high percentage of violent crimes would not be interested in joining the KKK.

It's gonna be bs when they give finals mvp to Brunson over KAT


No slight to Brunson but you could argue that he's been their 3rd best player in the playoffs behind KAT and OG.
Wemby choked with two missed jumpers and a bad pass in the last minute.

Honestly Harper's probably a better option to create a shot for himself.
Wemby hanging around on the perimeter on offense puts no pressure on the Knicks.

I wonder how effective of a strategy this was before Russian Muslims came to dominate MMA in the past few years.


This was like 15 years ago so the strategy has probably been even more money lately.
Years ago there was a long-running thread on the MMA Underground forum, always bet the guy with fewer tattoos and it had a great hit rate.
Gotta mention the late Jim Johnson.

He had free reign with the defense in Philly and played a huge part in their success.

Chet Holmgren should be better than he really is.


You can't be a twig and still compete against a physical team. Without Hartenstein the Thunder would have really gotten smoked.
If you include basketball Kevin Ollie's in the running.
They could still use a better backup. Kornet has been a big liability so far this series.

Not when the match is over....


Sure it does. I wrestled for a long time and still watch college wrestling and that type of pushing or shoving happens to send a message but nobody gets so bent about it that they throw punch.
