  1. Only a million? Seems like it’d be more of a hassle than it’s worth

  3. Well, that's 10 flips, which is what we heard was the deal. Let's see if there's anymore
  4. The news reports about it say he lived. Just a broken arm and lacerations to his limbs. You can find the video by googling Istanbul escalator accident if you feel like you don't have enough nightmare fuel on hand.

  6. Interesting question. Do they get paid before being sworn in?
  7. Agreed. I was not talking about public contrition. I'm talking about behind the scenes. I obviously don't know what went on there, and as I stated, I was basing my opinion purely off the Milton letter. From that, I don't get the sense that Beard was making his case for retention based on anything more than the charges being dropped.
  8. Not really, because .... Although, I would argue that the simple act of getting arrested isn't ALWAYS grounds for termination. There are lot's of ways someone could be wrongly arrested and it not be grounds for termination. But the nature of this particular arrest is not one of those. There's no way to ever truly show it was wrongful or that he was totally innocent. Hell, just being in the type of relationship where your partner is capable of doing the alleged act (calling the cops and filing a false police report) shows tremendously poor judgment.
  9. Probably a bit of a stretch from something like "We believe Coach Beard when he says he didn't choke his wife. We are currently investigating the matter and will keep you informed of any decision that is made." But even if CDC truly believed it and made the statement exactly as Milton claims, it doesn't change the grounds for termination. If there was any possibility of retaining him, there needed to be a massive show of understanding, contrition from Beard about the embarrassment to the program, and a solid plan for moving forward at some point in the future. But from what Milton's letter shows, there's been little, if any, of that.
  10. You joke, but there's an outside shot he could return as the head coach years from now if he had resigned, showed contrition, and carried on his life as a model human. Having failed to do so, he lost even the remotest possibility of that coming to be.
  11. The first part of your statement? Maybe. Depends on how long it takes him to get another job. If he can find a comparable salary, it's probably in his best interest to let it go. The second part? Only thing the school will ever pay is it's own legal fees. He ain't getting anything else from the University.
  12. It was probably entirely cloaked in the argument that the charges were going to be dismissed, and because of that it wasn't that big of a deal, while wholly failing to acknowledge the basic act of being arrested and charged was severely detrimental to the university. Probably contained little to no contrition for simply putting the school in a bad light.
  13. Not sure I knew this was the correct spelling of the word… Wordle 565 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟩🟨 🟩⬜🟨🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Seems like another one that could’ve gotten out of hand without a little luck Daily Quordle 346 3️⃣6️⃣ 8️⃣7️⃣ quordle.com ⬜🟨⬜🟨🟨 ⬜🟩🟨⬜🟨 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟩⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜🟩⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟨⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛
  14. How are these "rules" enforced? Like the one where McCarthy agreed to some crazy low number allowed to recall him? Could the Dems make a similar deal? Or is it more of a gentleman's agreement upon which they couldn't trust McCarthy to follow through with? If it is enforceable, they could gain a shit ton of leverage since they could always threaten to recall him and force this whole shit show over again at anytime.
  15. Far as I can tell, that's not any different than what they've been doing for years.
  16. If I actually gave a shit about saving the GOP, I'd say fuck it. Let them appoint one of the nutsos. Bite the bullet on what they let crawl into their midst. Hand the nutsos the rope and plan to do this whole dance again in a month or two once they've truly hang themselves. That may be the only way to salvage the GOP as it sort of existed pre-Trump. But since I don't give a shit about them, this is hilarious.
  17. After looking back at a lot of y’all, I’m feeling much better about my performance. Those were tough
  18. Lordy. I wonder how many options there actually were. I can still think of several.

  19. There isn’t. It’s when players and coaches and university staff are engaging in sexual relations that is problematic. Like a lot of teacher/student situations, it may not be illegal, but there’s good reason for the policy to exist. These are still relatively young adults and there are power dynamics involved that could be abusive. It’s also the situation where we initially say niiicccceeee because it was dudes with the β€œteacher.” Flip all the roles here and most peoples’ initial reaction is different. ETA: I see you’ve already clarified your position.
  20. Where is the info coming from on it not being handled as well as it could have? Are there videos showing exactly how long it was until they started compressions/air/defibrillator/whatever? Or statements from someone reliable? I haven’t seen anything other than speculation on the timeline
