hence, the offer he made to pay my (little) bro’s tuition

The best part of this whole deal is many of the parents only got caught bc Singer started cooperating and the FBI made him CALL EVERYONE BACK to recount the crime on a wiretap.

I think that is probably more rare than us plebes believe. It’s even part of Singer’s pitch in the indictment - the “front door” is getting in on your own, the “back door” is via university advancement but costs 10x more and even then might only get you a second look but he was offering a “side door” that all but…

One is providing a lot of money through legitimate channels to the school that they can use to do something for the school. In exchange the admissions dept will water down the typical standard for the child’s application.

just tell them you don’t believe in allergies and cover your kid in peanut butter before every play date.

I’m 99% sure Troy could do this party trick (as could almost any NFL QB). But Troy seems to adhere to the “color guy should not talk before the snap” tradition. I like him but he’s certainly not overly emotional on the call.

The WaPo description was fantastic: “a phantom roughing-the-passer call on which the Chiefs apparently mussed Brady’s ascot.” 

i guess anyone who thinks a ford fusion coupe would be ugly?

Halle-Luka not even really an exception. He has been playing professional basketball since he was 16. The Euroleague isn’t in the NBA but from a talent and development standpoint it is closer than anything else.

As a high-earning wage slave who has almost always voted Republican, i’m all for it.

as a lifelong texan may i ask where you are encountering these people? i feel confident i could go through each of the 50 floors of my office building and not find anyone who knows the difference (which i had to google). 

Would point out this is an effort by refiners, specifically (some of whom, like Exxon and Chevron, are large integrateds with e&p businesses arms, as well) - but refiners are the ones primarily impacted by these types of rules. I.E. The catch-all of “oil and gas” encompasses a lot of companies large and small who may…

some players who are deceptively fast are also hard hat/lunch pail guys

...And the Patriots division includes the Bills, Dolphins and Jets. You take what you’re given.

agreed. Further to that point the article mentioned he is allowed to work with the local AAU team so he essentially has a feeder pool of players who know his scheme long before they arrive on campus.

The natural question is why hasn’t he taken a big job in the US if he is Tim Horton basketball Jesus? And relocating family, loyalty are fair retorts... But in a 2014 Grantland article said he would take a job elsewhere for the right monetary terms...

GM’s incompetence made them insolvent, Bush bailed them out and then Obama basically broke the law to screw the bondholders in favor the UAW so i guess what i’m saying is i want everyone involved to lose.

baker mayfield’s entire life has been built on finding the haters where none exist. Did you hear that he was a walk-on? 

came to post this exactly. thank you for your courage

my best tip is to understand they are separate cities and not probably not worth tackling both in one short trip (unless you’re an art die hard, in which case The Kimbell in Ft Worth is a must visit).
