    Also, the issue of Trump's extrajudicial statements may not be, apparently, teed up for consideration.  It is mentioned in passing in the government's response to Lauro's latest whinge.  https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/67656595/49/united-states-v-trump/

    Yeah, that's what's frustrating about a lot of twitter posts. You read that tweet and think the Court will be hearing a motion that Trump is violating the protective order, and then you see the actual pleading and it's a throwaway line in a slap fight about sealed filing procedure.

    I thought about it when gata was down by 21pts early in 4th qtr.   Under old rules where clocked stopped on 1st downs, we saw some teams come back to win last season.

    Under new rules, it's gonna be a lot more difficult for large late game comebacks like that...

    I'm only quoting you only because it's the most recent example of what I seem to keep hearing and seeing about 4th quarter comebacks down 21. I don't have any issue with your post, it is obviously true. I'm curious, and haven't been able to find the information, about how many 21+ point 4th quarter comebacks happen each season. I'm sure it happens and it's exciting. I'm also sure a lot of 21 point fourth quarter leads turn into 35 point wins that take forever to end. 

    Hopefully, someone with better search skills than me can find some numbers on 21+ point 4th quarter comebacks to add some context. I haven't formed an opinion on the issue yet. But, it seems like there might be more "close" games due to fewer possessions. I'm not sure I'm going to mind more 31-21 games replacing some 56-21 games. Last night I didn't feel like I needed to see more Utah-UF or god forbid more offensive snaps from Nebraska or Minnesota.

    I wanted to thank you for the recommendation. We ate there last night and had a blast. Our waitress was a cute little brunette from Austin. Didn’t tell her that I knew any of you assholes, though. Mousse on the left and apple donuts on the right. 

    I want to thank you for the recommendation. Last weekend I did the tasting menu:

    Polpo spagnolo: crispy spanish octopus, eggplant caponata, pine nuts, red pepper coulis, purple mizuna    

    Agnolotti del plin: piemontese pinches of pasta filled with ground veal, sage brown butter, parmigiano-reggiano

    Anatra di barolo: barolo-style braised duck, kalamata olives, seasonal vegetables, roasted garlic potatoes

    Granita di pesche: palisade peach granita, vanilla crema, cardamom meringues

    Instead of doing the wine pairings, I just had a glass of Barbaresco Riserva ‘Basarin’ Punset 2014 Piemonte and Barolo Riserva ‘Bricco Fiasco’ Azelia 2013 Piemonte. The wine was delicious. The food quite good. The octopus was the star. The pasta was very good, but quite small serving even for a tasting menu. The duck was good, but nothing special. Peach desert very refreshing. Overall a relaxing 2 hour meal. I will say, the main dining area was very loud. Glad to be in the smaller room off the main.

    It's going to glorious watching them squirm and people need to reminded before November that it wasn't a peaceful rally and that team Trump was actively working to overthrow the government and it got people killed.

    Half the country won't care.
