  1. You know what grinds my gears?  All of the reserved spots for non-handicapped special interests.  HEB has special spots for shoppers with children.  Lowe's has special spots for veterans.  Seton Hays has spots for both of those and for low emission vehicles.

    like derka, twitter insists on itself.

    It's very healthy that you're just sitting around thinking about Derka.

     or my preference -- ban users whose post count is greater than ten percent no comment Twitter posts. Everyone in the internet knows Twitter exists and how to follow accounts if they wanted to see every insane thought some ESPN personality tweets out.

    Just put kopp0e on ignore and that problem is basically solved. 

  3. This amused me...

    The Stripes convenience stores in San Marcos have had these special Cowboys player cups for their fountain drinks.  There are 7 players -- Lawrence, Dak, Beasley (guess they didn't hear?), Lee, Frederick, and two more that I can't remember.  They have them all sitting out, so you can pick the one you want.

    Today, I went to the Stripes around the corner to get a drink, and all they had left were three big stacks of Sean Lee cups.

    I know “it doesn’t matter,” but the AL All-Star Shortstop Top-3 finalists is fucking asinine.
     

    I don't care what his numbers are, Lindor should be in the ASG every year. If Gleyber does make the team, it might be the last time he plays SS this season.

  7. LSU gonna fire up a good ol aggy boycott against Yahoo for reporting what the Greater Baton Rouge Business Report reported:

    YAHOO IS AT IT AGAIN ! THIS TIME THEIR STORY ALLEGES $180,000 PAYMENT TO VADAL ALEXANDER’S FATHER:

    If you are an LSU fan my recommendation that you delete Yahoo and anything associated with Yahoo. This clown show repeatedly reports on anything LSU May have done no matter how small or big.

     

    These 3 haters, Pat Forde, Pete Thamel, and Dan Wetzel, are the ones responsible for attempting to take down LSU.

     

    LSU knew of this allegation in 2018 and has been working closely with NCAA to resolve issue.

     

    Nothing to worry about here as I don’t believe anything will come of it. Just as I said about Will Wade’s situation. The only reason I am even posting this is because how disgusting Fake Yahoo news is.

     

    With Alabama players admitting to taken money and in many cases openly cheating and given cars away and much more. You hear nothing from this LSU hating fake news organization.

     

    Wipe this organization from all of your devices and never click on them again.

    I believe property rights in the US make it much tougher to get the rights of way to do such things.

    So you're saying the French are more likely to hand over their land than Texans are?  Do you have any evidence of that?

    Reporters were (rightfully) challenging Callaway on his decision to leave Lugo in the game to face Rizzo and Javy and not bringing in Diaz for a 5 out save. Bullpen management has been a point of contention all year for Mickey and the press

    January was a long time ago:

    "I look forward to showing people that we're a team to be reckoned with," Van Wagenen told reporters. "Let's not be shy on wanting to be the best and I fully expect us to be competitive, to be a winning team. Our goal is to win a championship and it starts with the division. So come get us."

    A federal judge sanctioned Pepper Hamilton on Friday after ruling the Philadelphia-based law firm “knowingly” violated court orders and ignored a subpoena to produce documents to 15 Jane Doe plaintiffs in their ongoing lawsuits against Baylor University.

    U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman’s order comes four days after a 90-minute, show-cause hearing in Austin in which he cautioned attorneys for Pepper Hamilton and Baylor that their actions were delaying the litigation and increasing costs to all parties. He said in ordering the hearing that sanctions were appropriate against the firm, which Baylor hired to investigate the school’s handling of sexual assault allegations.

    Pitman ordered Pepper Hamilton to pay plaintiffs’ attorneys Jim Dunnam and Chad Dunn “reasonable” expenses and fees incurred in preparing their amended motion to compel and the motion for sanctions.

     

    “The evidence of Pepper Hamilton’s conduct in violation of the court’s orders is so ‘clear, direct, weighty, and convincing’ that the court reaches this conclusion with clear conviction and without hesitancy,” the judge wrote.

    Pitman directed Dunnam and Dunn to file a motion detailing their fees and expenses by Aug. 20.

    “Every step we take toward sunshine being shown upon what happened at Baylor is a positive step, and this is one more positive step,” Dunnam said.

    Dallas attorney Bill Cobb, who represents Pepper Hamilton, did not return a phone message Friday.

    Frustrated with Pepper Hamilton’s actions, which they charged have prolonged the lawsuit discovery process, the plaintiffs’ attorneys asked Pitman to sanction the firm. While Dunnam and Dunn did not seek sanctions against Baylor, they steadily have complained that Baylor has assured the court that it has complied with discovery orders, only to later bombard the plaintiffs with additional documents.

     
     

    Pitman’s order Friday also addresses Baylor, saying the court “cautions Baylor that even inadvertent violation of a discovery order is eligible for sanctions, and the court will sanction if Baylor makes further production of Pepper Hamilton materials without adequate explanation.”

    Baylor spokesman Jason Cook declined comment on Pitman’s order but said Baylor has provided more than 3 million documents and spent more than $4.5 million during the discovery process.
