Something tells me she’s popular on campuss…..You see “The Doc” pictured to the right of her?..Thumb’s in his pockets, stand-n-staring at her?…Yeah, he’s like that.
Poll Which surprise NCAA Tournament team has the best chance to win the championship?
(11) Marquette — even the 11th-best team in the powerful Big East is better than the best teams in every other conference (but, oddly, the best teams in the Big East are not)
(12) Richmond — in beating Vanderbilt and Morehead State, they proved they have at least one big strength: beating teams that aren’t very good
(11) VCU — they were universally criticized by college basketball analysts before the tournament, which means they must be pretty awesome based on the track record of college basketball analysts
(10) Florida State — everyone on their roster is 5’11″ or taller, which is really helpful in the sport of basketball
(8) Butler — they can be even better than last year now that they no longer have that guy from the title game who blew the game-winning shot from half court. CHOKER!
(2) San Diego State — San Diego State is a 2-seed? Are you sure? Wow. Well, I never heard of them before so they’re a surprise to me.

Huggins put down, by CAL!
OSU vs UK!..Who didn’t want to see that match-up? And who didn’t LOVE seeing West Vir’ginny, and Huggins, lose!??!
Was anyone else wondering; Who hired Charles Barkley as a analyst on the CBS F4 line-up? He looks and sounds tanked! Can’t Charles work a windsor knot?..why no tie, Chunk?…When the rest of the panel all wore ties, Sir Chunk goes Biz-casual! Also, did he have a stroke we dont know about?
Another stupid move by CBS? -Rick “15 seconds” Pitino!…Mo’Head State just flattened his ass, then they (CBS) have him on to do their next game? ”Gee, Mr Pitino tell our audience why YOU couldn’t beat them, but feel qualified to tell us how Richmond could? Yeah, Rick, stick to what you know best….”Has-been Blondes!”
– You’ve heard of the 30-second timeout? Rick calls that more than enough time for lovemaking and a cuddle.
– Rick wanted to switch from zone to man-to-man, but he felt like his team could only play hard for about 15 seconds.
– Did you hear Rick Pitino has petitioned the NCAA to reduce the shot clock to 15 seconds?
– Rick likes to tell his team: When you get that rebound, always look to score within 15 seconds!
– Rick likes to tell colleagues he gets his best coaching done in 15-second spurts.
– Did you know that Rick Pitino is still upset about not getting his 15 seconds of fame with the Celtics?
– Now when an announcer says “there’s 15 seconds left on the clock” Rick Pitino can say, “that’s an eternity.”
– Hey, the kid in the LeBron Miami Heat jersey at the Indians game lasted longer than Rick Pitino.
– When Rick recently heard that Sting and his wife engage in eight-hour sexual encounters, his head blew up.
"GET OVER IT BITCH!"….just say it!
Say it to Irum Abbasi, 31, a Muslim woman from, apparently, San Diego.
Irum was removed from a Southwest airline flight after she said what was thought to be “It’s a Go”, into her cell phone, as her head-scarfed person boarding a plane. “SHE” claims she said, “I’ve got to go”…..In a move that signals she is accommodating herself to the American culture, she is now suing the Airline for what she (and her piece of shit lawyer) thinks is a misdeed done by agents of Southwest! -BULLSHIT!
Hey, if you want to dress like a cow, walk like a cow, shit like a cow and moo like a cow, guess what; Some people might think you ARE a cow!….Now, a Cow hasn’t been known to want to blow up planes, or kill others in a suicide mission, so the whole “being a cow” thing might not get you kicked off a flight. Wearing a Muslim head-dress and muttering into a mobile phone as you get on a plane?…well, that “could”! Reportedly, the crew on the flight was too uncomfortable to have her fly with them…so, she was delayed and put on the next flight (after she was interviewed). Ok, an inconvenience to her, perhaps, but certainly nothing horrific! Guess how terrorist might “test” if a “plan” might work? –They do dry runs!…They also might want their agents to “act” a certain way, possibly facilitating law suits aimed at relaxing efforts by airlines.
Let’s put this same “hunamitarian” (Irum Abbasi) in a graphically escalated, yet similar experience. Let’s put her at her home, and have a couple “good old boys” roam around her house in military fatigues, uttering (loud enough for her to hear) what she hears as anti-muslim chanting. Does she merely go about her business of making couscous & Kashke Bademjoon (yum!), or knitting a rug?, OR! does she call the American Police to come make the bad men go away!??….Yeah, I’m sure Miss “I’ve Done Nothing Wrong” would sing quite a different tune, if the situation were making her “feel” unsafe! Now, multiply that by 280 other passengers!
I’m not condoning profiling (completely), nor am I for bigotry/hate by any means! Heck, my ancestry just might run through those same hills that hers does?….BUT! WE “Americans” lost a lot of freedoms of late, and things changed! Whether you want to blame one political side or another for this loss of freedoms, that specific agenda doesn’t factor in here. We lost them!, and, that IS a fact of our World now. Americans are expected to deal with a few inconveniences as we move forward!…Well, guess who else just might?!?!…Yeah, Muslim air travelers who insist on following a suspect edict that states they must use concealment tactics!
I’m betting if Adam Sandler tried to board a plane in Israel wearing nazi garb and sputtering Hitler chants, he might too be removed and questioned. Even though he does have the freedom to wear what he wants!…Its not some stated religious request, but he wouldn’t have (to that point) actually hurt anyone. Certainly he WOULDN’T do that!….for one he’s Jewish, but, it would also (understandably) make others on board uncomfortable considering the history there.
Nothing is off the table when it comes to tactics by terrorists. Sometimes the most obvious is what works best! Not all muslims hate, and want to kill either. They should not all be strip searched and\or detained -I’m not suggesting that. However, maybe ‘they’, like us, accept some of the impaled inconveniences thrust upon us, and stop doing things that they should KNOW might make people fear a possible motive!
As far as her pending law suit…??…Get over it Bitch!…Join the dance! And yes, I’ve been detained and missed flights before– Its damn annoying, but it happens!

Camping song, and some things to know about the NFL saga
The primary reason the owners don’t want to open the books to the players is because they’d also be opening them to other owners, and the revenue streams aren’t exactly balanced team to team.
Most if not all owners can walk away from this and wait it out, most players can’t.
Now it’s not the most beneficial to the owners to wait it out, but they can. Whereas a lot of the players have the sort of lifestyle where they almost live paycheck to paycheck..
the NFL is 30 different private companies. When 30 private companies get together and agree upon a set of common policies, procedures, salary constraints, and decide not to compete for employees (via a draft) that would be considered a violation of antitrust law in any other realm. Its only not for sports leagues because there is an exception to antitrust law for collectively bargained agreements. If the owners unilaterally impose their own set of rules and the union decertifies, there is a very real risk that the entire NFL business model could be attacked in court (assuming the players have the desire and willingness to see that through).
The players will cave if this goes the distance. Book it with dollars to donuts. Owners will definitely survive, defer expenses, borrow from escrowed revs and god knows what other avenues these financial sophisticates can tap.
For those that aren’t aware, NFL offered to show aggregated profits and trends, including number of clubs that have had down years vs prior year (while salaries have risen). You can’t tell me the NFLPA needs to know which clubs. Their employer counterparty is not the NY Giants but the NFL.
I’m sorry but these players are gonna take it in the tail pipe, more likely than not. And, frankly, they deserve it as they don’t realize they are paid employees, and damn well paid ones at that.
The union has an obligation to bargain in good faith.
It would seem that a union initiative to decertify itself so it was not in a position to collectively bargain when it has a legal obligation to act in good faith is not without risk.
- the owners could file a complaint with the NLRB that the union is not bargaining in good faith
- decertification to avoid the obligation to bargain collectively would be a possible defense to the antitrust claim so long as the owners don’t do anything more than what any other employer would do in a similar labor circumstance
- not all collective action is per se illegal. Other than fixing the prices of labor or boycotting free agents, it is conceivable that many of the other collective activities of the league such as scheduling, playing rules and even the draft could pass muster under the rule of reason.
- even if there was liability, the players would need to establish damages. Remember the USFL won an antitrust case and was awarded $3. What are the damages when the union is decertified at the behest of the union?
- the owners may decide to say screw it and let the players have their free agency. After all, baseball survived. The league will divide into the have’s and have not’s, a few players, mostly qb’s, will make the big bucks and a lot of guys will make little money. “Here’s your check Peyton, sorry there’s no money for pass blockers or receivers.”
- another union may step in. There’s going to be guys who aren’t happy about missing paychecks while waiting for the court to grind on. Those guys may decide that they would be better off with another union. Or, you might get the qb union, the rb union, the defensive players union.
Guessing that the owners don’t want to provide 10 years of audited financial statements because these teams are organized as LLC’s, LLP’s, and other tax planning vehicles and that it isn’t easy to decipher what they are making and what they aren’t.
