This is very wrong on many levels and shows a real lack of understanding of how university fundraising, budgeting and endowment works. All of this is much more complicated than you make it out to be, especially considering the purposes for which endowments are created.

They very likely had unfunded priorities from the campaign and decided to use one-time money to fund those priorities. It is a very common occurrence for gifts of that size. What they should have done is directed the unrestricted money to those priorities and not make a big deal out of it and not specify it to one…

I’m an attorney who deals with people in this situation regularly. I always tell them to put their wishes in writing, and if they don’t, they are leaving it up to the institution to decide. And some are perfectly OK with that.

Counterpoint: It’s Dusty.

Well we will see. I doubt what you suggest will happen is going to actually happen.

But she’s not going to win the game. ESPN will. Most ESPN anchors are a commodity. There will be someone else new and edgy taking her place. And I am someone who think she is correct and that her employer is treating her shabbily.

So why did Coach Chin-Butt start Tom Savage the first game of the year? I mean I know the Jags are better than usual, but that was an entirely winnable game, and I think everyone know that Watson was a better option from the second day of the first mini-camp.

They won’t. I just have a feeling that 99% of the players are going to do what is asked because they want to make a living, and the union is too toothless to help them.

The new format calls for 6 CONCACAF bids. Three would go to the hosts. The rest of CONCACAF plays for the final 3.

Gotta love Deadspin.

Good news is that I learned that Paul Posluszny was still in the league. Playing your entire career in Buffalo and Jacksonville makes people think you never had a career to begin with.

I can guaranty you that if Texas or California held non-binding referendums on independence, that federal government wouldn’t be sending troops in to close poling places and rough up unarmed citizens. I do agree with you that self-determination is tricky. However dealing with it *this* way seems way over the top and…

I thought the draft wheel concept brought up a couple years ago was the best idea. Have the draft order predetermined years in advance so every team drafts in every spot over 30 years.

Could you find a more chill play by play guy?

We really should take PR and the VI into the United States as one state, absorb their debt, and then send even more money. I know it will never happen, but it’s what we owe them.

As a Packer owner, I am sorry to say that I am ashamed of all of us. Including myself.

Worth mentioning that he is a veteran. Air Force Academy graduate. Which is also where he started his coaching career.

Why?

It is hard for me to understand why the rule is bad. That line has to be drawn somewhere, and ten seems as good as any. You can’t screw the Falcons for making the play they needed to make.

Of course Ray Lewis found a way to be in the spotlight. Works for ESPN but manages to be on the sideline of an NFL team?
