The new Baylor fan conspiracy is that the Baylor Board of Regents is throwing all of these beloved figures under the bus to save their skins. I know it’s probably a minority of Baylor fans/alums that hold the view, but it’s shocking how many reasonable supporters are sticking to Uncle Ken and Daddy Art being good,…

Yeah, that’s not even as good as Art Briles’ defense in his statement to Hays. Briles is basically leaning on 3 points:

-1

Wait, what?

Not anymore since that liberal, animal lover George W. Bush closed down the last horse slaughterhouses in 2007

Totally, I just get unduly worked up over all the hit pieces on “You’re a food philistine because you eat chicken breast” when pretending there aren’t equally lousy bargain cuts of pork and beef.

I partially agree. Boneless, skinless chicken breast is the precursor to flavorless nutra-logs, but it also belies the fact that with the gargantuan pound per breast monstrosities Purdue is selling now you still have to trim them and either pound or filet them to make them usable. I guess I’m arguing against my own…

Good to know! Now I don’t have to roll logs and feed on grubs #Hakunamatata #90'sKids

But do they run in opposition to their desires? This is only for the horses to know.

But is the abject horror that is the American meat industry worth the end result of providing (relatively) affordable food for the masses? I don’t know. Insect based protein is a much more economical source of amino acids, but we decided a long time ago we’d rather have cow and pig and chicken meat to fill our bellies

To be as dismissive as I can be, meh, I’m not so concerned by the deaths of horses while racing in general. If I were I would’ve stopped eating meat in America a long time ago.

That’s a lot of burly dudes in that quidditch match

If the NCAA was no longer allowed to deny players from being paid, do you think that colleges would still be the highest level of minor leagues for the NBA and NFL, or would the talent just get absorbed into the NBDL and, I don’t know, the Arena League? The CFL?

Rebuttal: The 2003 draft was mercifully shortened by a half hour thanks to teams getting picks in quickly

I’ll still take the 2003 draft when the Vikings missed their pick and teams started bum rushing the stage to try to get their picks in ahead of them

Hey Barry, is there anything to the fact that every name mentioned above except Al Michaels is a Syracuse alum? I’m not trying to be obnoxious, I’m honestly wondering if the Newhouse mafia is that entrenched?

I thought that’s how they end the day over there?

Real question, why would any voting laws apply to primaries? These are nominating contests for political parties, not actual elections. If the Democrats want to allow dogs and ghosts to vote, why shouldn’t they?
