  1. My guess is that this is a pretty funny backstory. There's obviously a finite list of quality local attorneys and I'm sure Nauta deferred to the Trump team to go through that list to find Trump's attorney first. Depending on how deep on that list he went, he likely made Nauta's task incredibly difficult as I doubt any of the attorney's that told Trump "no thanks, we're...uh... busy" would then turn around and take on Nauta.
  2. There's a bit of gamesmanship to it, it would seem. The prosecutors didnt ask for this as now it forces them to show some of their cards in terms of who is most likely to be called as a witness. Regardless of the list, he's not to talk to ANY witnesses about the case. The list is just those he's supposed to avoid *all* contact with.
  3. No bail, no travel restrictions. Judge wanted to limit his conversations with witnesses, but defense objected due to the volume and nature of them. Plaintiffs must come back and present list of witnesses they want him to limit contact with.
  4. Nobody was after them. The knock was real but it shows them overreact to an otherwise innocuous event, probably the neighbor kid pranking them
  5. Yep. There’s no hint of magic left for Florida.
  6. And now Vegas is 1 for 14 on Florida power plays
  7. Florida 0 for 13 on power plays
  8. Sally’s alcohol/PTSD induced hallucination Reminder
  9. Look at those crazy eyes. We all know exactly what the fuck
  10. I had a similar experience on it. Still one of the greatest times I’ve ever had playing, regardless
  11. It’s fun. Just a flatter prize-pool structure which a you have full approval to bitch about if you finish top 10… otherwise you probably greatly benefited from that structure!
  12. Wynn's poker room is possibly the best run anywhere and there are plenty of whales any time of day. Obviously, there are also a shit ton of pros, but that's just the game. They, too, are running a poker series right now thats worth considering. As a bonus, during the daytime hours you get to watch scantily clad ladies come and go from their pool club right next to where they host tournaments. https://www.wynnlasvegas.com/casino/poker
  13. If you're not playing any WSoP events, I'd strongly suggest getting in one of their daily tourneys. Outside of that, Wynn has the best room since its impossible to get a seat at ARIA these days. MGM tends to run soft, but on the downside you're at MGM.
  14. I think the pattern is that the judge will enter a gag order, he'll ignore it, the judge will admonish his lawyers, he'll attack the judge, he'll be fined and then SQUIRREL! and he'll move on to something else for a while.
  15. An all time finish right there
  16. Hooooooooooooooo Lee shit
  17. That 20 footer on the first playoff hole was sick
  18. Well, they negotiated the right to purchase up to 49%, yes. Yeah, much speculation that regardless of the legal fees, there were other reasons to shut it down as quickly as possible. Discovery almost always reveals embarrassing emails, for example. They also we’re struggling with title sponsors at least in part due to ongoing uncertainties. Finally there is FTC investigations underway due to their initial actions re LIV, so they were already walking in a minefield and every subsequent move in the PGA vs LIV lawsuits introduced more risk via FTC
  19. The case just needed some semblance of merit if the goal wasn’t to win, but drag it out and create leverage for discussions about buying in. I’d guess the disjointed team ownership model of NFL/NBA/MLB make it much more difficult for PIF to get their foot in the door. I’d imagine they’d have to not only buy enough teams to have relevance, but pay off the other clubs just to win the right to buy them in the first place.
  20. Ok. But that’s definitely not a hostile takeover by any reasonable definition.
