Fair, almost certainly true. But you’re welcome to drink your fill of mind altered incoherence on Hoda and Kathie Lee every weekday morning.

Yeah, his form didn’t falter. His set up was terrible. He lacks ability to get into proper position. He should be lifting from blocks.

Meanwhile that warranty period gets shorter and shorter.

Exactly. When we bought a car a few years ago I was looking for an off-lease luxury sedan. I was shocked by how inflexible most dealers were on them, they would run out all the work they had put into the car when it came back (usually tires, occasionally wheels, some minor work), and explain to me that they could not…

My personal theory is that it’s a private school thing.

Correct. All stores where you can be alone are better than stores where some asshole is going to follow you around the whole time.

I was thinking the same thing. South of Brooklyn Bridge usually sucks but north is FAR worse. Maybe a definitional issue, but certainly predates construction.

On your first question, you don’t have to be the one who owes the “honest services” to commit honest services fraud. You can be on the other side too. Like, let’s say your job is to buy computers for some big company. And I start paying you personally to only buy them from me. We’re both part of the scheme, we’re…

Most of the charges are wire fraud.

I thought that at the time. Giants had shown nothing to suggest they’d be able to get across line.

Namath. Even era-adjusted Namath was never good.

Assuming it’s basically same rules as in US, and there’s reason to think it is, you COULD say you were so drunk you didn’t have the capacity to enter into a contract, sure. Courts won’t generally let you out for that but who knows, maybe if it was an unreasonable price for the car, and the buyer knew he was that…

Yeah, that’s fair. I think my main frustration is that so much of this season felt like a first draft. They had a bunch of cool shit on paper or in their heads, got most of that out there, but a lot of it doesn’t really make sense. Which is fine, anyone who’s ever written something of substance has gone back over…

Rhaegar was convinced he was the prince who was promised right? Then became convinced it would actually be his son. But then, not his first son, but his third child, with Lyanna. And that child would have a song, of ice and fire. Add to that fact that Rhaegar had the best swordsman in Westeros defending Lyanna and…

While I don’t disagree that they’re doing a poor job at filling in that outline, I think you have to be forgiving of that for 2 reasons. 1 - they signed up to adapt this story, not to write it. Dance was imminent when the show debuted, they intended to take four seasons to tell the story of the first three books, so…

I mean, if any of those people were anything but obscenely self-righteous about anyone daring besmirch the name of Joe Paterno and Penn State Football, as if that wasn’t the very thing that led to the extended coverup, then they probably would be off the hook by now.

That’s clearly Joaquin Phoenix in disguise

For guys his age it’s basically code for being military.

Can I be a pedant and qualify that with “as long as the prosecutor is trying to indict?”

That’s pretty much it. The concept came out of a conservative think tank.
