  1. Preach to me. Like you, I have spent the last 20 years mostly in federal court and I like it a hell of a lot more than state courts. I was fortunate to have been mentored by two, older, well respected attorneys. It was the many things NOT taught in law schools or which are not in legal tomes which opened my eyes. The large law firms will continue to bring on the army of younglings (perhaps fewer than in decades past). But, the smaller to mid-size firms will inevitably push for cost savings and reduce staff. More's the pity.
  2. But before we can start awarding ourselves Victoria Crosses and Congressional Medals of Honors and National Championships and so on and so forth and such like, I think I better point out that (1). We are now preseason number 1 and have a target on our back, (2). We have no hope whatsoever of getting a break from the feckless sports media and that (3). This neck of the woods will soon be crawling with bad tempered aggy, hillbillies from the north and inbred sister fuckers from Arkansas and (4). I don't think that our genius Sgt. Miller there has even got a box of matches left in his suitcase. And so therefore, I think we can take it, that gentlemen, we are going to have a very long walk home this season.
  3. I am channeling 2006. We remember what happened in 2005. Vince Young, the national championship! 2024, Ohio State wins the national championship. 2006, Ohio State comes to Austin ranked No. 1 to play the defending national champion Longhorns. Texas in the Coaches Poll was ranked No. 2. It was the earliest ever meeting between No. 1 and No. 2 ranked teams. 2025, Texas will be going to Columbus ranked No. 1 to play the defending national champion Couch Burners. Ohio State is either No. 2 or 3 depending on the poll. 2006, Ohio State wins in Austin 24 - 7, which springboards them to an undefeated season and a place in the national championship game against Florida. Where they are prison raped by Florida 41 - 14. 2025, Texas wins in Columbus ...? The Circle of Life gentlemen.
  4. Well ... Sunday would be Morgan's 32nd birthday. I can sumtymes right rill goodly, so I try to put feelings and emotions in words. Go hug your kids you Surly Bastards. https://adadsjourneywitheatingdisorders.home.blog/2025/08/08/passing-times-birthdays-grief-and-morgan/
  5. When you look at the chart above, the Texas defense gave up fewer points in FOURTEEN (14) games, than EIGHT of the Big 12 teams gave up in NINE (9) games. I presume that is relatively acceptable.
  6. This has the Cleveland Browns QB situation written all over it!
  7. I don't know about crim law, but the one time it came up for me, the other side objected on foundational grounds, I established the text number of my client and the opposing side. We established past text messages (they were numerous). The judge allowed the text message into evidence and instructed the jury it could assign whatever credibility or weight to the text.
  8. Well, yes and no. Although the Motion to Dismiss was filed by the plaintiff, the substance of the one page motion had both mouthpieces agreeing and e/signing. Plaintiff's attorney is based in NY. Defendant's attorney is James Bell. I've worked with Bell on a case before. A bit quirky but knows his stuff pretty well. If the criminal case goes forward, the terms of the civil settlement will inevitably come to light in the criminal case. With Bond's playing future in the air, there inevitably is a lot of maneuvering going on. For example, there may be structured terms in the settlement such as ... "should Bond sign a free agent contract, the alleged victim would receive X amount... with further stipulations as Bond makes more $. Keep your eyes open as to whether the criminal case is dropped in the near future. stip.pdf
  9. The parties filed a joint motion to dismiss stipulating the with prejudice portion. Which means, the parties entered into a settlement of the underlying case. The press releases on this matter implicitly give the appearance that the case was dismissed because of a motion to dismiss or otherwise against the plaintiff's wishes. A lot more here than meets the eye.
  10. I do something similar. And use it quite a bit to formulate the arguments of opposing counsel. It is generally not too bad with statutory authority but caselaw... well, I check each and every cite. (as any attorney should do). Then, you can throw different fact situations at the issues and tweek arguments. I very much agree that an improving Ai program will be able to largely replace law clerks and very young attorneys
  11. I've lived with relatively sentient beings who identified as women for a long time. They are just as bad as women/doctors/lawyers/men in this regard!
  12. Jane, you ignorant slut! (see, Dan Aykroyd). I agree with much of your post. Certainly, we should be able to all agree that the language used by this doctor was inappropriate. The highly offensive part (to me) is that it appeared the doctor was using this horrific disaster as a platform to broadcast her political view at a time when hundreds of families in Texas were at the height of their fear. THAT is not acceptable. If this doctor knew about the flood (and she said she dead), and watched any news reports from the morning of July 4, that should have been a strong sign to keep your MAGA statements to yourself until we know so much more. Because she did not, the potential damaging impact on families was far greater. Now, if she came out today, with an intelligent post (much like your post Brisket, only just toned down a bit to make it look like all people could get behind), it would have had a much stronger impact. It was also questioned, why this doctor? Because I have been fighting back against medical and mental health incompetence for a number of years now. A doctor in Colorado came out with a theory on "Terminal Anorexia." it took me almost 2 years before I got that doctor to not just back away, but refute her initial opinion. Therapists and idiot doctors coming up with treatment protocols not backed by research or medical science. The eating disorder field being taken over by militant fat activists. It has been maddening. We should expect and demand more from the brightest and best in our society. Ok... rant over.
  13. No... she is not involved with eating disorders. Quite frankly, I hope she takes some time away, finds a good therapist (that in itself is a chore), and comes back a better, more impassioned, open minded doctor. Society needs better doctors, therapists. Right now, it is an incredible obstacle for her. But, it can be an opportunity as well.
