That was hilarious to me as well.  Also for some reason "100% sure this is Texas" had me cracking up too.  

For the more experienced legal people, do defendants normally get represented by different attorneys in situations like this?  

Obligatory mention that I'm not a lawyer and that I also understand it is a defense attorneys job to take their clients side but the difference in statements from both attorneys stood out to me.  I'm not sure if it should have stood out, but it did.  

I also wonder how this works because  I thought they were roommates? 

Coach O calling a basketball game would be absolutely electric 

I really like how this was communicated. “I have dismissed...” shows Coach day is willing take full responsibility for this decision. 
 

Day is setting a firm line and a strong precedent for failing to live up to standards in the future. They are not just OSU standards, but his standards. This was not just an OSU decision, this was his decision. I have a ton of respect for the way he did this. 

That's exactly what I was thinking 

I bet Malik Hooker would have been a hell of a center fielder 

It is wild to me that a high school kid would say that to you.  When I played in high school in the mid 2000's, we were specifically told by our coaches that if they caught us saying a word to the refs aside from yes sir or no sir, we were going to face consequences.  

I was actually so positive that we got the first down that I left the room to go to the bathroom when they decided to review it.  I came back in right as they were confirming the spot, so I didn't realize it was close or controversial until I got on twitter after the game.  

I don't think the refs on Saturday even owned whistles 

You're in the right.  I'm sure you understood you'd catch some flack around these parts, but no need for anyone to continue to be an unnecessary dick about it so I apologize on behalf of the rest of us for that so that we don't end up getting the broad brush stroke treatment in the future from you too.     

I finally get to see one of my favorite musicians, John Craigie, do one of his own shows instead of opening or doing a tandem show.  I am pumped 

Excuse me what? 

That guy would lose an IQ contest to a bag of hammers

This is perhaps one of the funniest things I have ever read

Stanley Cup Finals game 7 on the glass.  I live in NC though and I feel obligated to mention Duke/UNC at Cameron Indoor would be my runner up.  

If you read through the comments on this post you'll find some of those lowlifes.  Kind of jarring to realize that some of those folks walked and talked among us about things like the Clemson game all while being closet idiots.  

Man.  I was reading through these comments generally unsurprised at some of the asshattery going on because at least some of it was to be expected, but this comment absolutely set me off.

Kobe hasn't been gone for a week yet and you think this is the time or place to bring him up to make a point?  You think he's up there shaking his head at this soft ass generation?  He's probably up there shaking his head at your insane lack of grace and empathy. 

DJ stepping away from the program to get his mind right isn't soft, it's the opposite.  Admitting it publicly is anything but soft.  

This was a disgraceful comment.  It's only a matter of time before it gets grayed out and deservedly so.  I hope that writing it helped you compensate for whatever shortcomings you're dealing with in life, but in the future maybe you should try and figure out a different way to make yourself feel better.  

If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a merry Christmas.

What if Fields dumps it off to Dobbins for another 10 yard chunk against Clemson?  I want to cry again

Yea I fully expected that one to be on the list 

I have a firestick, can I watch BTN programming for free without a cable subscription that includes BTN?  I have AT&T TV currently. 

I know it was a typo, but I'm adding "pack 12" to my repertoire of sports words I intentionally misspell in an insulting manner.  It fits nicely with Red Socks.  

We have Minnesota Thursday not Northwestern

About halfway through the 1Q the other night i switched to the ESPN2 field pass broadcast which was Pat McAfee, Orlovsky, Adam Amin, and Steve Levy and it was so much better.  Even though they literally had no clue what was going on most of the game it was better than Herbstreit, who at one point in the first quarter said "LSUs offense vs Clemsons defense is going to be one of the games within this game that decides who wins the football game"

I know they are different types of players, but what Derrick Henry is doing for the Titans right now kind of reminds me of Zeke's postseason stretch for us.  Everyone knows its coming, can't stop it anyway, and it feels like every other play he rips off a gain of 8 or 9 and every few plays he's going for 20+.
