Previous Administration / Re: Trump Administration

Unable to defend his pov, Larry declares victory and then he,  pivots to a different topic.

This is his MO. Same as Trump's.

You don't commute because you're unemployable, given "the incident".

I understand, Larry.

Bottom line, give us a case for reparations and his that moves the country forward.

Or... STFU.

And don’t go hinting about some “incident” that makes me “unemployable.” You got something? Spill.

He likes to petend he knows things he doesn't, to go with the little bits he does know.

So, for example, he has put up my picture. Sometimes, he intimates knowledge about my marital status, too.

It's stupid and illustrates his lack of trustworthiness.

Joshie, a charter member of the illiberal Left, works diligently to silence anyone who does not toe the party line.

Very sad.

On a more regularly regulated board, you would have banned long ago, not because of your politics but because of your conduct, with Josh, with Larry and with banks. Being a worthless Asshole has nothing to do with your politics.

He threatened a cop

I think they should question him for that.

For not showing up to vote?

No.

Happens all the time, recently Dems in Wisconsin. Number of people who have threatened to kill the cops sent to arrest them, before this guy: 0. Number of organizations taking up arms against the cops before now? 0.

Re:  OREGON

Protesting cap-and-trade by walking out today represents our constituency and exactly how we should be doing our job,” Senate Republican Leader Herman Baertschiger Jr., of Grants Pass, said in a statement Thursday. “We have endured threats of arrest, fines and pulling community project funds from the governor, Senate president and majority leader. We will not stand by and be bullied by the majority party any longer."

Republican Sen. Brian Boquist responded by telling state police to “send bachelors and come heavily armed” if they come and get him.

Attaboy.

So police lives only matter in the right circumstances?

This being the NFL forum, Charlie Weaver was a linebacker for the Detroit Lions in the 70s.

Doesn't take a genius to see the problem in Venezuela was an incompetent and autocratic leader with a totalitarian vision, and not socialism.   It's not an excuse to point out an empirical fact of failed leadership - it's there in plain sight.

Failed Socialistic leadership?
Say it isn't so. 

Funny how ideologues who rant against socialist democracy usually opt to not mention successful instances in Europe, where democratic process hasn't been subverted as it was forcefully in Venezuela.

There are no 'successful' socialist countries anywhere.

Scandinavia says howdy.

So what, the guy is a professional. He's earned it. A buy out is a buyout. Without it the coach leaving probably would have gotten some it not all of that cash too. It's a penalty, as he didn't get it. GET it? But it was "in" the contract. Something agreed on. If and when the transfer rules change the recruits will know about before they sign. It won't be kept a secret from them. I would however be in favor of if the rules change I would be in favor of any kid who was recruited under the old rule get grandfathered to the rule they originally signed with.


And once again your weak point is that schools can yank a scholarship. That's been covered. But since your memory is short I'll refresh it. That rarely happens except for good reason. Usually the player has done a bad thing.

And coaches can be fired, not just for being bad but for not producing. Players that don't produce rarely lose their scholarship. They just sit the bench.

Players rarely transfer except for good reason.

I'm looking for a fact that connects a professional adult "job", with an amateur playing a "game".

Look as I might I can't find one.

At the risk of repeating others: ?

And it is telling though not surprising that the person you believe should be punished for changing his mind about a life defining decision is not the adult, getting paid, who has signed a contract, but the kid playing a game who has not.

So you don't have any facts. Okay.

I understand your point, and even to a point sympathize with it. But only to a point.

I'll add that lots of coaches have buyout clauses in the contracts they sign. In other words a penalty, maybe you didn't see the penalty so I'll point it out. Lots of others, not head coaches only have one year contracts and renew them every year. So the only thing I see in common is a penalty that each can be accessed with. 

But, IMO there is no actual and factual connection between an amateur athlete and a professional coach.

That "penalty" is in all instances paid by boosters from the team hiring the coach.

The coach can leave, the school can yank a scholarship. The only one you want to bind is an 19, 20 year old kid sold the moon by coach or who wants a better chance to develop his talents. Row, serf! Row!

Big 12 commish: All transfers should sit one year:


https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/26948342/big-12-commish-all-transfers-sit-one-year


...Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby said Tuesday he believes all student-athletes who want to transfer should sit out one year, with no exceptions. ...


Careful Bobby, or you'll have Stevo accusing you of being Marcus Licinius Crassus.


Spartacus SPARTACUS SPARTACUS!

How about also: a team cannot fill the scholarship for a year either.

like the changing seasons themselves.... you say how recruiting looks and I say it ain't over til the final signing day.  Though I think that definitely is starting to change

#1 we saw less movement last year between the first signing day and the last  than we had the prior two years.
#2 there is now movement after the final signing day.  Reference the fact we just got two highly ranked recruits back in the last two weeks.

Right, you got the kid from Florida that couldn't seem to make up his mind in the first place, decided for USC, then changed it to Florida, went to Florida, changed it to Oregon, then changed it to USC. Hopefully nobody sneezes the kid's way or he'll change it again. ;-)

Or his mother wont lose her job and be forced to relocate back to Cali to live with family again. Row serf! Row!

Actually, thinking back on the story, his mother losing her job may be the reason he switched to SC from Oregon, not the transfer away from Florida.

Yeah, she couldn't find another job. Forcemarched back to Cali.

And the amount of time you spent walking around in her shoes before rendering judgment would be?

Darn, I didn't see the regulation in the Book of Opinion where I needed to wear someone else's shoes before having one. My bad.

That'd be To Kill a Mockingbird. It should have been skin. My bad.
