I'm having LSAT PTSD just reading through this.

That was beautiful, Emmett.

Where do I start?

ya kiddin, right? The NFL doesn't care how long a player's rap sheet is — that's why a marquee team like New England drafted Aaron Hernandez and traded for Randy Moss. Mr Spygate himself would draft Jack the Ripper and Charles Manson in the first round if they were pure cover corners.

I find this chilling. A woman, Maria Camacho, decides on Monday to post screenshots of 3 private online chats with Dater held over an 18 month period. She is not a minor, he is not her employer. Online chats are essentially the equivalent of shooting the breeze at a bar or club, are they not? In the first, in May…

Nope. It doesn't bring out the person you really are; it brings out - and intensifies - the worst parts of your personality, and then corrupts and erodes the good parts until nothing is left but the attributes that help you support your addiction.

I like the way he has come out & owned it on day 1. thats a real hard & rare thing to do. Obviously you judge a person on what they do going forward, but Im rooting for him. Didnt know him before today, but Im rooting for his well being & forward progress. Oddly enough, this story made me feel good, because of…

That sounds horrible. Better bet: The felon pool. First team with a DRAFTED player to be arrested wins it (Defensive players don't count). Scorekeeper: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/police-blotter…

Do you guys still do a cash prize? Or cut out the middleman and just give the winner meth?

sounds like a group of guys not above collusion... I wouldn't want to be their commish either.

3 attempted briberies, 2 calls for my resignation, 1 call for my impeachment, 3 separate people questioning my friendship and integrity...two owners contrived a plan in order to improve one team (via a lopsided trade)

This has all the hallmark inconsistencies of a rookie commissioner.

I'm a lawyer. The best advice on how to stay off a jury is to say you cannot keep an open mind. Insist you've already decided the outcome of the case and couldn't consider the evidence. Easiest way to be dismissed from duty.

Oh my god.

Sometimes they identify the charge. Usually right away if it is something normal people really flinch at like animal abuse or incest. Clears out the pool pretty quick.

Like you, I was excited to catch jury duty. It turned out to be a murder case from hell. I won't miss the sleepless nights and intimidation that lasted for two freakin weeks. Hope I never get called again.

That's where you're going to draw the line on the grammatical correctness of Dockett's tweets?

Yup. 6'4" 290 lbs will attract attention.

As a civil litigator I'm super conditioned to say "laws vary by state," especially as it applies to my family asking me legal questions that I don't want to answer.
