The case was over once they chose that venue. Everything else is irrelevant.
This is bullshit. The jury would not have unanimously found him innocent anywhere in the country if not for the police screw ups. At worst, it's a hung jury without tampering and cops who love saying the N word.
Some of the jurors have admitted to wanting to see a black man beat the legal system for a change--regardless of guilt--but the police have no one to blame but themselves for introducing that reasonable doubt for them to latch onto.

Denver was 11-1 at home in last year's playoffs. They're coming out of the West.

2) Trump loses in 2024.....and immediately begins his (successful) campaign for the nomination in 2028.
We should all want this. Let that two-time loser bound for actual criminal charges dismantle the entire party.

I don’t know, she knows she’s gonna get the nod in 2028.
Yeah, I think she's banking on "I was the only Republican to speak out against Trump" finally being a good thing with voters in 2028. We'll see.

There is probably one reason why 99.99999% of fans would look at the Spurs box score.
I feel ya, I need my nightly Julian Champagnie fix too.

I don't care how hot the Warriors finish the regular season--most teams playing for seeding win a bunch down the stretch with half the league either resting stars or packing for Cancun--they're still not very good, and they're not getting past the first round, if they even get there
...but damn it's at least nice to see Klay return to form over the second half of the season. Dude looked absolutely done a few months ago.

AD was out with headache. He had menstrual cramps earlier in the day, so it was understandable.
To his credit, it's only his 6th missed game of the season, which may as well pretty much his Cal Ripken streak.

Is a 35-4 run a good way to start a road game? Jesus Phoenix, the home folks weren't even in their seats yet.

I bet Steph plays if his postseason is as short-lived as it appears. He's never participated in the Olympics and probably has enough self awareness to know that it's the last big thing to win in his career. No need to save his body for mid-June playoff runs anymore.

Yes, sure, mathematically. The teams above them ain't losing 3 games. And the Kings hold their tiebreaker. If they lose tonight, the Warriors hold their tiebreaker too.

Jim Rome is going to be a must listen tomorrow. He’s boys with Cal. He went on a 10 minute rant recently defending Cal and urging Big Blue Nation to chill.
Today I learned that Jim Rome is still on the air. Tomorrow I will forget again.

Probably already mentioned, but I can't believe that an entire Vrbo ad campaign was approved of the premise of "you have to click one whole checkbox on Airbnb to specify that you want the whole place to yourself, but all of our rentals are unshared...let's beat that into the ground!"

Blake,
I've been an observer of the Longhorn internets since approx 2001; and was very a active reader of Shaggy from Day 1. You are one of my favorite contributors during that entire time frame. Even back when you were a "different person", I still always looked forward to seeing your hoops takes and thought it was really bizarre how many people (such as the "Hi" crowd) felt compelled to have real-life personal beef with you.
Fast forward to now and very little seems to have changed; so my advice is this: Please permanently leave this website and find a different/healthier outlet for expressing your interest in sports and engaging with other fans. Many of the largest influencers here do not have your best interests at heart (and that's putting it gently), and they never will.
I fully believe that anyone who devotes any substantial amount of attention/energy to an internet message board (and by the same token, mainstream social media) is fundamentally a loser. Time and resources are finite, and youth/vigor/opportunity costs are tremendously precious. The fact that there are many people here with tens of thousands of posts (translate those into conscious hours!) dropped into little more than an abyss of uselessness (95% of the time) or a vortex of hatred, division, and personal attacks (at worst) speaks immense volumes about their character as adults, parents, spouses, etc etc.
There is a reason so many posters fit similar archetypes of ultra-high incomes and professional classes...they are the same people (especially the lawyers) who everyone else on the globe typically despises for the way they live their lives and treat others. It is only natural that they translate their self-loathing into attempts to cope/compensate through sanctimony, condescension, frequently outright abuse towards others while safely protected behind their screens.
I aim to browse the board approx ~30 mins a week now to aggregate Astros news and pertinent insights relating to markets/finances. Fortunately that's because I (finally) have other important, meaningful, real-world human priority shit to do which was never that case when I spent hours and hours a day here (and not coincidentally, was objectively a loser during those same life stages).
I don't know your whole story, but I perceive an enormous amount of victimhood from you during this most recent episode without appropriate regard for the greater context: This place will never be uplifting for you, it will never be a source of joy/pride/confidence/health whatever. It is a fundamentally ugly place populated overwhelmingly by fundamentally ugly people.
There are certainly useful things you can "learn" here (like the 'Help' board) just as you would browsing google/reddit for specific topics of interest; but actually engaging anyone here and expecting anything different than the exact-same toxic pattern over the past 10+ years for you is horribly misguided. In the parlance of Tommy Boy, you are the woman in white gloves horribly upset by the mess made by ketchup popsicles that you insist on ordering over and over again.
Put this hellscape away. Take control of your own life and your own recovery. Bob, imaamac, motown, etc etc should not and cannot be the gatekeepers to your health, happiness, and well-being. May God bless you, and I hope to see you reach your full potential somewhere that is worthwhile.
This is the only place on the internet to get financial advice and Houston Astros news, huh?

Easily the worst fast food joint I’ve ever been to. They built one near me and I viewed it as an insult.
You've never been to a Subway? Lucky.

A man once lost his wedding ring in in the ocean off of Australia. Five months later, a snorkeler spotted a wedding ring attached to a fish, and retrieved it. Sure enough, it was the wedding ring and he returned it to the grateful owner.
Who gives a fuck about men's wedding rings? Dude couldn't afford the $250 to replace it?

Not maybe vehicles you can easily fit eight whole bags of Home Depot-sized topsoil in. I can just barely squeeze that much in my Mazda Miata's trunk.

Amazing movie. But as a Girl dad. It fucking wrecks me.
Unless you've got some deep space Anne Hathaway tail waiting for you. Then, a quick hospital visit after spending 80 of your daughter's years getting back to her will suffice before boarding the ship to pound town. Understandable.

This movie is so good, I only roll my eyes a little bit during Anne Hathaway's "love is the 4th dimension" spiel.

OJ Simpson has died

Mea culpa. Obviously meant "not guilty" not "innocent".
I absolutely agree that other venues would have still found him guilty, despite the evidence tampering and police racism. I disagree with the notion that the case was "over" when they kept it in LA. There's no scenario where all 12 jurors vote not guilty with the evidence on hand. 2 or 3 jurors trying to get "payback" for Rodney King wouldn't have gotten enough traction without shitty cops who just couldn't help themselves.
