Sticking with bad umpiring.

Do NOT get my daughter started on The Patriarchy.

Qatar used the World Cup to burnish it's image, why not use sport to expose it, too? Same for Saudi Arabia. The government is buying multiple teams in multiple soccer leagues, and a whole golf league to shine their apple. I have no problem with athletes pushing back. Aa a matter of fact, give multiple governments' intrusion into sport, it seems like sport is now the perfect place for social justice protests.

To be in the Top 228 All-Time Point Scorers in NCAA history a wrestler needs to have at least 59 total points (advancement, bonus, and placement). Baseball has The Mendoza Line, I have The Ed Peery Line. There is one wrestler knocking on that door this year. And two who have kicked the son of a bitch in (with thanks to Bum Phillips). Vito Aruj-wow Vito Arujau has scored 55 points to date across three tournaments. With an average performance he can cross The Ed Peery Line and get to 73 total points, good for a tie for 82nd with Northern Iowa all-time great Bill Koll (46-48). Sure, Koll got his 73 along with 3 titles in just three years, but that is still some heady company. Anyone expecting Arujau to have an average year probably does not like nice things. More likely is Arujau repeats, or even exceeds, last year's achievement. A repeat performance would boost his total to 77 total points, good for a four way tie at 62nd with Wayne Martin (OK 34-36), Pat Milkovich (MSU 72-76), and Myles Amine (Mich 17-22). A real heater could see him as high as 85 points and a place in the top 27 all-time, and 1 point ahead of former teammate Yianni D. Carter "You Don't Have To Be A" Starocci "Baby (To Be in My Show)" Carter Starocci is already among the all-timers with 67 total points to date, clocking in at #125 along with some other names you may have heard (Mark Schultz UCLA/OK 80-84, Greg Jones MSU 02-05, Earl McCready OK ST 28-30, Dave Porter MICH 66-68, Chuck Yagla IA 73-76, and Bo Jordan OH ST 15-18). Among that group, only McCready, and Porter can keep pace with Starocci's per year output, though (22.33). Starocci has not been a bonus point machine at the NCAA tournament, racking up only 7 total points. Though, for the numerologists in the crowd it may be interesting to note that he has doubled his bonus point output each year (1,2,4). Dare we put him down for 8 bonus points this year? Sure, what the hell. With a 28 point total this year and a 4 year total of 95 total points he would find himself in some very rarified air, top 9 and tied with bonus point machine Darryl Burley (Lehigh 79-83). A perfect score moves him up to 8th where he would displace Bo Nickal and slot in just behind Jason Nolf. A perhaps more probable average performance moves him up to the 89.5 range where Iowa's finest, Spencer "The One We Were Promised" Lee (I know, I know, subject to debate), resides along with fellow Iowan Jim Zalesky in 18th position. A-A-Ron Brooks Aaron Brooks has taken advantage of an extra half bonus point to slot in above his teammate at a tie for 123rd to date, with 67.5 total points. None other than Yojiro "I Do Not Like To Rub It In" Uetake (OKST 64-66) is sitting there with him. Brooks may want to consider not returning this year just so that his name is always mentioned in the same sentence as the legendary Cowboy. In the event he does not heed my advice and does return, Brooks can expect to continue to be in the same conversation with Starocci. An average performance slots him in at 16th alongside Iowa's Lincoln McIlravy and Northwestern's Jake Herbert on 90 points. While a max output sees him on the Second Team Mount Rushmore in 8th place on 97.5 points. Note All past wrestlers were re-scored using today's scoring method for advancement, placement, and bonus points. This created some obvious challenges for some of the really old dudes, but whatta ya gonna do? The answer is nothing. I just made some simplifying assumptions, which I also will do with the new scoring rules for this year.

That is not what the federal indictment states at all. It said there was no outcome-determinative fraud. No one who speaks intelligently on the subject states there was zero fraud. The hyperbole does no one any good.

He absolutely meant etch. Gave me a chuckle though. Kind of like when I hear "a tough road to hoe".

Carter Starocci is on Instagram saying he hasn't decided yet if he is returning this year to "edge his name in stone." https://www.instagram.com/p/CvyLJq8LlUv/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

I read that the plan is to try them together, so I will guess the sycophants get a free ride on the coat tails.

No

I was thinking Russ Rose too, but he retired. And McDonnell passed away a few years ago.

Break up the Mithletes

I also have my doubts he will be convicted. While I am certain Trump has committed many crimes as outlined in his last two indictments, I am also highly skeptical that they can find a jury to convict him. Several posters on here like to talk about Trump Derangement Syndrome as though it is an anti-Trump phenomena. I view it as a pro-Trump phenomena. It is the only way I can explain how anyone can know what we know about his actions, (including, but certainly not limited to, the speech on Jan.6, the call to Raffensperger, the memos outlining the plan to seat false electors, the attempts to actually seat false electors, the "you tell the lie and we will do the rest" conversation with the Justice Department, the attempts to intimidate his own vice president) and still think he has any business running for president.

I do not think it is likely he will go to jail pending trial. There is the law, and then there is legal realism. Holding a former president, who is also a current presidential candidate, in jail is not realistic. They can, and will I think, convince themselves that he can be muzzled, all past experience to the contrary. And as a presidential candidate he has a strong reason not to flee the US, perhaps the strongest possible reason, meaning he is also not a flight risk.

Your second paragraph seems like wishful thinking to me. But I too was struck by the irony of Giuliani being on the other side of a RICO case given his prior history. However, I also applaud it as he has proven to be a truly awful human being. I had forgotten his racist attempt to put the Georgia election worker in the crosshairs of Trump's worst followers until the tape of him saying deplorable things ("passing around USB drives like they were vials of heroin or crack cocaine") was played again. What an awful person.

Pennsylvania to Idaho? That is a big move. Why Idaho?

You are analyzing the numbers wrong. Chicago or Chicagoland? Either way, there is a large percentage of the state's population in a small percentage of its land. Of course the percentage will be higher. As it is for every metropolitan area in every state. As for handguns vs rifles, that isn't the right breakdown. Not all rifles are covered by the law and some handguns are covered. Secondly, the types of guns covered by the law result in more deaths per instance. Removing one of them is like removing 3 or 4 guns not covered by the law.

How do you define sensible? The Illinois law was summarized in the article I posted this way: The law bans dozens of specific brands or types of rifles and handguns, .50-caliber guns, attachments and rapid-firing devices. No rifle is allowed to accommodate more than 10 rounds, with a 15-round limit for handguns. But it carves out exceptions. Those who possessed semi-automatic guns before it became effective on Jan. 10 are allowed to keep them but must register them with the state police by Jan. 1, 2024. And seven categories of "trained professionals," such as police officers, active-duty military, corrections officials and qualified security guards, may carry them. Is that sensible? Or is there some element you do not care for? I am genuinely curious because I see the term sensible gun laws, but I rarely see it defined.

https://www.reuters.com/legal/us-state-georgia-appears-set-file-charges-against-donald-trump-court-document-2023-08-14/#:~:text=Aug 14 (Reuters) - The,the document down without explanation. It is probably just a list of charges prosecutors will ask for, rather than what the grand jury might return.

Upon second thought. I choose A. and B. I have intimate knowledge of the desires of one football (both kinds) loving boat owner, and he definitely wants this. I assume people who own gun stores do not want this because it hurts profits. I assume criminals do not want this because it would be one more thing can go to jail for.
