Yeah, was this before or after one of the best metal guitar solos of all time?

YMMV by which industry you are working in. For my industry, there is usually an imbalance of power in negotiations between my side and the opposing side for prime assets. "Just walk away from the table" isn't an option because I'm trying to secure rights that several other parties are competing over. It becomes a Game Theory exercise of who will pay the price to entry and who will eat the bad contract. Sometimes the price is so high and the terms so bad that nobody will accept (and that bar keeps getting lower and lower, setting precedents that make my job even harder). Sometimes the only way forward is to endure 6 months of haggling over the minutia, including a specific word being used here or there. Therefore, it becomes my job to find a way to make the language as acceptable as possible without running them off and I find myself going back and forth with opposing counsel over what should be obvious language. If I don't, there are two primary negative outcomes: 1. I hold firm and a competitor eats the bad contract. Bad for me from an optics standpoint, even if the competitor falls flat on their face. 2. I eat the bad contract and the liability bomb goes off in the future. Bad for me, bad for the company.

Because in the event that those catastrophic situations happen, guess who catches the blame for there being "ambiguity" in the document?

Texas A&M - Qatar Relationship
Ricky Perry, a Texas A&M grad, was Governor of Texas when the Qatar-A&M relationship began. Perry would then go on to head the Department of Energy, which has oversight of our nuclear arsenal. Conspiracy theorists should be going hog wild over this.

Epstein and Maxwell
That is some old school Mad Magazine, late 80’s-early 90’s SNL style comedy. Hilarious.

judge attacked in courtroom, WWE style
Man, I haven’t seen a judgement call that vindicated since the Georgia/FSU bowl game.

How did/are you dealing with it?
Bummed? Sure. Disappointed? You bet. But we just got straight up beat by a QB who had an all-time performance. No one position group went out and absolutely shit the bed, the players looked like they wanted to be there, I wasn’t absolutely gobsmacked by the lack of performance like I have been in the past with previous head coaches. The team never rolled over. Sometimes teams just get beat. They didn’t play their best, but they definitely didn’t play their worst. And Washington, outside of Penix and the receivers, didn’t play a complete game, either. Tip of the cap to Washington, blow off some steam, hit the recruiting trail, and back at it in the spring. Excited for next year.

CFP Semifinal: Texas vs Washington - 7:45pm on ESPN
That was because the head coach panicked and completely shifted his offensive strategy away from the spread to the power offense that he just watched curb stomp his team after recruiting the #1 spread QB in the nation who hadn’t taken a snap under center since junior high. No, I’m totally over that. It was years ago…

Cowboys v Lions
Two people can't report. They went up as a group of 3 to try to create confusion in the Dallas D. 70 claims he didn't say anything, so I bet the ref just picked the guy and declared him as the eligible receiver. Not the right way to handle it, but the Lions should also be aware of the rules. None of this is on Dallas, btw. I always get a kick out of other teams screwing something up, getting called on it, and it is always somehow Dallas's fault.

Hey Oil Barons.......
KSA will flood the market like they did in ‘14-15, drive down prices just long enough for most of us to get laid off while a bunch of DUCs are on standby and the remaining skeleton land crews furiously try to extend leases, and then everything will go back to normal in less than a year.

Florida State can fuck off
Boycotting the bowl would be some loser mentality bullshit. If you thought you deserved to be in the playoff, then go prove it. Force the AP and Coaches Polls to throw a couple of 1st place votes to create some controversy. Get yourself into the Preseason Top 5 next year so you’re best positioned to make the expanded playoff, even with a couple of losses.

MNC game at NRG Stadium tickets
I’m assuming that the Rank #1 at 953,399 is either the Jamail Estate or the McCombs Estate. Surprised at the back half of those point ranges, though.

Nowhere near as hilarious as the Texas to the SEC version. But, I appreciate the effort.

Probably closer to 1 EST. It starts at noon, but they will have their dog and pony show to milk the ad dollars.
