[Hidden Content] ABC can fire an employee that’s bad for business based on speech or whatever. A government official using his position to exert pressure on the network to do so is a free speech violation. Ted Cruz is right. You can’t be a champion of smaller government and support this kind of BS.

Just to be clear, a free speech violation would be if he was arrested for what he said. ABC has a right to terminate him like any employee. Most in this state are at will employees. He has a contact. He will sue them. They will claim they fired him for cause. They will pay him millions of dollars to go away. Poor Jimmy. (And to be clear, there are not many who champion free speech more than me.)

I’m far from a conspiracy theorist but, like @baddog and @Ty Cobb, really looked like a professional job to me. And the timing while this vote is happening may be just a coincidence. On the other hand some argue there are no coincidences…

I suspected the same as you buddy. Incidentally, while the nation is consumed with lobbing grenades back and forth over this tragic event, the Senate voted to block release of Epstein files. Only GOP members of senate voting in favor of transparency were Hawley and Rand Paul.

Sorry. As I said, at some point, I got frustrated and skipped to the end of this thread. Glad you also mentioned

I’m hoping they actually have the right guy this time. I was leaning with some of you that it looked more and more like a professional job. Hopefully we know the truth. I am going to post one thing here though in general. Reading this thread is almost as depressing as social media, on both sides. At least no one is celebrating a man’s murder here that I’ve seen. But those of you who are proclaiming it’s only the liberals or the Dems who do this need to expand your source of information or remove your head from the sand or your nether regions, as applicable. Specifically, I would direct your attention to the murder of Melissa Hortman, the speaker of Minnesota’s House of Representatives and her husband, both democrats (oh and their dog). The man indicted for their murder, is a self proclaimed evangelical Christian. He allegedly targeted them and other prominent democrats in Minnesota because of their politics. I didn’t read every single post in this thread so I apologize if this has already been mentioned. But these murders occurred less than 90 days ago. I did go back through this page and couldn’t find a thread dedicated to these senseless killings. I am very glad that I didn’t find one blaming Republicans and/or evangelical Christians for their deaths. Because that would be as dumb and/or unfair as blaming an entire party or segment of a part for Charlie’s death. We know next to nothing at this point other than a good man, husband and father was senselessly executed. And while I think a lot of many of you who post here, whether I agree or disagree with you, if you are one of those who rushes to get to a keyboard and politicize these tragedies, I hate to break it to you but YOU are part of the problem.

Wow. That’s a heckuva stat.

What an idiot! 😉

Don’t sports bet unless I’m at a casino. But I was at the Nugget last weekend so took a few futures: Clemson over 10.5 wins +120 Klubnik to win Heisman +900 Nussmeier to win Heisman +900 (Also put in a few Emmy bets but we won’t get into that.)

Bullets? Well come back and look at this…

His last response, which was hilarious I thought, signaled his feeling on Obama (when Maher said banning Senators from running for president would have prevented JFK and Obama from being such - “I can live with that”.)

Thought I would post something on here from one of the last of the true conservatives, George Will. Whether politics or baseball, I’ve always enjoyed reading his stuff. A national treasure.

That’s saying something because that kid from BC can play. If he’s hanging with him, he’s going to be a big asset sooner rather than later.

UTSA won’t be far behind I predict. They’ve been in talks I know. 7th biggest market in the country and the 2nd biggest in Texas behind Houston now…definitely a plum for TV negotiations.

They have around 20 if these in the UK/Ireland. Some aren’t even for a specific holiday, just called a “Bank Holiday.”

I really wish they would bracket the teams at the CWS based on seeding. I get LSU and Arkansas were the 3 and 6 seeds but they also the two highest seeds remaining. Just seems like they would make for a better overall tournament not having arguably the two best teams remaining play in the first round.

Thank you for your admission that you have just been trolling this past year and that you do, in fact, agree with those of us who think the powers that be have Lamar going in the right direction. Kind of a weird thing to troll about but to each his own. No one has said there isn’t room for improvement (there always is) or that the Southland conference is a juggernaut (although we all agree Lamar is situated and competing against schools it should be competing against). But I believe Jeff O’Malley was a home run hire unlike some of the previous ADs (certainly including his immediate predecessor). This is also directly attributable to Lamar President Jaime Taylor who I also believe is the best Lamar has had at that position in decades. I too would love to see Lamar win their tournament and get to play a game in March Madness (they aren’t upsetting a top 20 team like McNeese did unless they get a few million a year to go out and buy players like the Cowboys are able to do), or get to play in a regional NCAA baseball tournament. But just because you don’t finish first doesn’t mean your season is a failure. “If you ain’t first, your last,” after all, was the mantra of a fictional character in a comedy that was premised on what an embecile he was.

No one once has said the SLC is a strong conference. You’ve been having that convo with yourself, specialsal

We have poor specialsal reeling now that he’s been exposed as a clueless mom in the stands. It’s okay little guy. We all can’t know everything about everything. I know you probably have your areas of expertise too…I have no doubt you would destroy us in Real Housewives trivia.

100% 😂

That game was 3 points at half and was nip and tuck in the second half until late when Lamar was forced to foul and free throws widened the final margin. AS IS OFTEN THE CASE IN BASKETBALL. Anyone who has any knowledge of the game, or actually knows what they are looking at when watching the game, knows this. Someone who likes to wager on the game, has benefitted or been screwed by late game free throws in an otherwise very tight game routinely. That’s basketball. Which you continue to make very evident you have virtually know understanding of. I am guessing you also ask the person sitting next to you at a game, if you have ever attended one, why free throws are free?

Tell me you didn’t watch the game without telling me you didn’t watch the game. You obviously don’t know basketball from the hollow space between your ears. Thanks for confirming 😂
