What about stars or athletes that may have some skill, but only because they had the best training because their parents were also actors or athletes? Manning brothers, for example. You think they'd be world-class athletes without Manning daddy? Where do you draw the line?

Same reason we "obsess" (I wouldn't use that word, though I suspect some people do actually obsess) over any celebrity. It's fun and a break from reality. And the dresses are pretty.

Basketball took a turn for the worst in the 90s. Even MJ's somewhat longer shorts were far superior. You can at least see his thighs!

Well that was a great exam answer. ;) I'm sure you'll do fine. Good luck!

Studying for the bar?

YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS. God I love that book.

Judge Merryday doesn't play around.

Oh yeah. The whole thing is completely ridiculous. It will go absolutely nowhere. The only thing that may come from it is if the real Ms. Schacher wants to figure out who decided to do this in her name.

Oh but also... how is an incarcerated person going to get away with filing something in some else's name? Wouldn't they have to show that it was them filing to get a fee waiver? I don't know. This isn't my type of practice.

Good point. I hadn't though of that. But when I worked at the court, we got a number of pro se civil suits from just regular ass crazy people. So anything is possible. With respect to your comment below, I'm still not sure this wasn't sent to multiple districts, and MD Fla is just the one I found. That's the theory…

Eh. Depends. If someone wants to pursue a fraud on the court issue. Or if either Manziel or the plaintiff want to pursue a defamation theory. I wouldn't investigate, but that doesn't mean someone won't want to. :)

I can't say for sure one way or the other, but personally, I believe there is next to zero chance that she actually drafted or filed this. The interesting question will be who did. You have to submit a check—-a filing fee—-to get it filed. That's where I'd start if I were investigating.

I'd like to quietly thank you guys down here in the comments for making my husband think I'm cool, because something I found is now on his favorite website. Mission accomplished.

My theory is copies of this complaint were sent all over the place. The reason this copy is from Florida is because I am in Florida and saw it on the new cases email listserv. I don't know that for sure, but that is my guess.

You got a corgi puppy!!! Corgis are the best.

I literally (and I mean that literally) cannot think of a social media site I would like to use less than this christian iteration of twee inspirational photos. Holy shit. (pun so very much intended).

Ugh. I just did this this morning. I responded to an old mass text thinking it was group X of friends but it was actually group X plus A,B,C I don't know. Poor A,B,C. I basically started up an entirely new convo about a trip planned with group X to which a,b,c are not even invited. I am that asshole.

I have way too may stories like this it seems.

I mean, I'm just so unsympathetic because apparently my cell phone number is very similar to a Wal-mart in bum-fuck midwest (one digit off) and I get fucking calls for walmart all the goddamn time. So this guy can really get over it. :)

A taste of her own medicine? What the fuck?
