Billy, my man, you are genuinely too stupid to follow along on this topic. Over the years, your stance has been completely inconsistent and nonsensical. I'm not sure if it's your regular late night drunken posting sprees that have made you brain mush, or what.

But here is an offer: if you can quote whatever it is you're talking about, and string together three sentences that actually make sense while explaining where I said the negotiated settlement will never take hold, I'll donate $1000 in your name to food insecurity in Southeast Ohio.

All of these conversations are still here. I truly have no idea what you're talking about, and if you knew how to read/had the slightest clue how courts worked, I don't think you'd be trying to take a victory lap.

I look forward to your explanation about how this isn't worth the effort.

No, it’s not, you just like to move the target. And I still say f--- you and your opinion doesn’t matter. I’ve done more and still do more in college athletics than you will ever do. You don’t matter

I don't even know what the target is, because you're not smart enough to use your words to describe it. That's how confident I am betting against your intelligence. I'll happily put up $1000 against the idea that you can, you know, read and string together a full paragraph that makes any sense at all.

But I'm sure you're right. All the posts are just a search away, as is a nice donation to a cause that matters. Go for it, man. Prove your very smart, not at all incoherent point.


And by the way, I think I owe you a a thank you. College athletics is in great shape. Your leadership has been really, really excellent. Good job. The people who have been working in college sports for the last 25 years certainly didn't crash the plane into a side of a mountain or anything. Good job, man. I, for one, am glad we have people in positions of power in college athletics who couldn't pass a 6th Grade Civics exam about the basic workings of the court system. Thank God that never comes up. You've accomplished a lot. You and your colleagues ran an American institution into the ground. That took a truly elite level of obliviousness. Well done. We all owe you a debt of gratitude. Thank you so much for mattering.

Me thinks you are a bit too sensitive. Not necessarily a right or left thing, just an acknowledgment that in some cases district courts have gone rogue. For instance, in immigration cases many district courts have gotten involved when the statutory law specifically states that deportation appeals must start at the court of appeals level. I think some right-leaning district court judges in recent years have also overstepped the bounds of their authority. A good example would be Biden v. Texas (No. 21‑954). In this case SCOTUS ruled that the district court erred in ruling that President Biden lacked the authority to end the so-called "Stay in Mexico" policy. Once SCOTUS remanded this case back to the district court, the district court judge still refused to fully impliment the SCOTUS ruling, leading to further litigation. I think that's a pretty good example of right-wing rogueness.

Billy's knowledge of the legislative process comes entirely from college basketball coaches, who are famously well-versed legal scholars.

I don't actually know the content of the bill going to a vote now; but the major opposition comes from the rich -- the SEC and Big 10. And you're absolutely right that "fear of lawsuits" is a truly dumb explanation. The entire point of congressional action is to create exemptions that make lawsuits less destabilizing. The current state of things -- where the NCAA and college sports leadership do absolutely nothing -- is the reason that policy is being dictated exclusively through lawsuits and court challenges.

It's up to the NCAA to create a policy framework that can withstand legal challenges. Instead, the people on charge are all just crying about how the big, bad court system won't let them have their blatantly illegal business model. The House settlement provides a basic outline that's withstood legal scrutiny, at least.

It may not be this bill, but congress will pass something relatively soon. The only people not convinced of that are the college sports "insiders" who are most responsible for this mess, and who have proven themselves completely incapable of action. Their main motivation is to act like their hands are tied and none of this is their fault, as if someone else had been in charge for the last 3 decades.

You might want to read that sentence again, my man.

It's actually not incorrect. "Your" is referring to the point -- i.e. Billy's 'very smart, not at all incoherent point.' That sentence is not saying to Billy to prove "you are very smart".

Not the clearest sentence in the world, sure. But Greencat is still, as usual, wrong.

I hope you enjoyed that hour of feeling smarter than me. I know you've been working towards that for years now. Please don't let the fact that you were wrong distract you from how good it felt. You finally sorta did it, dude. Good job almost.

+1

I can say with certainty you are smarter than at least one person on this forum. After all, you have 2 ID's and one of them must be smarter than the other. Flip a coin to see who wins.

Redirect in an effort to get this train back on the tracks...

The NFL has now elected to NOT hold a supplemental draft this year.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/49155214/no-2026-supp...

Sorsby could be stuck in limbo for the upcoming season. The saga deepens!

Well, here is the hint.

Brendan Sorsby's attorney, Jeffrey Kessler, tells ESPN of the NFL's decision to not hold a supplemental draft: "It is a violation of the CBA and the law. We will pursue this immediately with the NFLPA."


What I find funny is there is ZERO in his body of work that he’s draft able without being an addict. Art Schlister needed this agent.
