Good thing Lindsey gave him an avenue to do that if the House doesn't call.

Wow. Who knew a politician could take an even handed common sense approach to solving a disagreement? Go Lindsey! He keeps getting better and better.

I think 44 is fine no matter what. He'll get a pardon from Trump to avert any racial unrest.

Sounds like attempted murder to me. Not sure attempted obstruction is on the same legal footing.

Yep, you have your opinions. Too bad you completely ignore the actual evidence of Leach's insubordinate behavior. Well, the courts didn't, Leach lost because he violated the terms of his contract, not TT. You can listen to l(aw)yer Leach all you want, you share an abundance of hot air with him. The two James' did conspire to get Leach fired but there was no need. Leach's big mouth took care of everything. And while the shed had a garage door it was closed when Adam was put in there. He was not locked in as the James' asserted. Pincock assigned an assistant trainer to stay at the outside door and check on Adam regularly.

Still trying to swim in the deep end, even though you pretty much drowned last time, eh? What transpired between Leach and TT officials is NO mystery unless you buy Leach's garbage. Depositions, TT emails and investigations were entered into the record and available online as part of the court process. Both James' were giant douchebags and their original assertion that Adam got put in an electrical closet was totally false via the trainer Pincock's deposition. What is clear (and Leach admitted) is that he did order James put into a darkened room and that he remain standing for practice and made to feel uncomfortable. Also, he ordered similar the second day, except that Adam was put in their media room. What was also clear (via emails and deposition testimony) is that Leach went off the rails to his superiors when they wanted him to write an apology, pay a fine and be done with the issue. This should have been a minor issue and Leach should have gotten a slap on the wrist but his ego wouldn't allow it. His contract absolutely had specific language that he had to look out for and do his best to ensure the well being of his players and known facts with Pincock's deposition clearly showed Leach's malice. Leach sued the University, giving up due process (he needed to go through the university system for this to have any validity) and proceeded to argue that 1) Craig James had connections and business ties to Hance and the board and he initiated a conspiracy to fire him 2) He was innocent and his contract breached by lack of proper due process and reason 1) 3) He was protected under whistleblower laws because of 1) and 2) The courts duly considered his arguments to waive sovereign immunity under these conditions and he lost. More than once. Even the Texas Supreme court was willing to consider Leach's arguments and ruled against him, keeping sovereign immunity in place. Leach also tried to have the immunity rescinded through the legislature but anyone looking into the actual facts could predict he would in fact fail. Even with sovereign immunity in place the Supreme court allowed Leach to try and get a non-monetary judgment against Texas Tech's decision and it never happened.

And, yes, I feel Texas Tech and Wash U were fringe programs Leach has helped put on the map. I don't dispute the man's ability to coach. He was only OC at Kentucky and couldn't find evidence of him ever being the head coach at Oklahoma, no neither of these is relevant.

Because they want the best parts of his coaching without the douche-bag ego maniac part. Leach was primarily fired from TT for his repeated insubordination to his superiors. I read through the court documents back in 2010 and it's all there to see if you care to look. How's Leach about it now? Well about 2 years ago:. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2017/06/29/mike-leach-angry-texas-tech-washington-state-coach/440102001/ Can't let it go. The only schools that will deal with his personality are the fringe D1 schools who need more name recognition for the school's program.

It's amazing to me almost no women consider their desire to one day have a family when formulating their career plans. I have no patience for the so-called "gender gap.". There are so many women in the work world who: 1. Won't go after a job that involves tasks they haven't done before. 2. Won't ask for more money on a job offer. 3. Don't understand that to be promoted they will test you first with additional job duties. 4. You need to be able to say no to tasks that distract from your job priorities. Things are certainly changing, and I do my part to help any female friends with their job situation but once most women are better risk takers and more aggressive with their careers I think the gender gap goes away.

Sorry for your loss. This story always brings me comfort, probably because I'm a bird hunter! Hope it helps in some small way. http://aarf.org/Memorials/NoDogsInHeaven.htm

Holy hell, it's Alabama he's going to. One of if not THE most recognized sports universities and Oats was given an opportunity to build their basketball program. That's a once in a lifetime opportunity and he should turn it down? There's some really self-centered people here. I get he could have handled his departure better but come on! Be proud he got picked by a premier institution. Hopefully UB becomes a premier destination for up and coming coaches and it keeps their program strong.

She was one of the first democrats to meet with Trump after he won the election. She is pragmatic, seems to focus on common ground and willing to talk to the unpopular leaders to find it. She would be a fantastic first woman president and would easily have my vote over anyone else from either party right now. As others have said, I don't think the Dems will give her a shot.

If you bothered to watch that highlight video you would see some pretty strong, on the money passes with touch to boot. No matter, we'll find out in the fall.

???? He's a rookie. Your assessment is garbage. Let's look at the other rookies. http://www.nfl.com/stats/categorystats?archive=false&conference=null&statisticCategory=PASSING&season=2018&seasonType=REG&experience=0&tabSeq=0&qualified=true&Submit=Go Rk Player Team Pos Comp Att Pct Att/G Yds Avg Yds/G TD Int 1st 1st% Lng 20+ 40+ Sck Rate 1 Baker Mayfield CLE QB 310 486 63.8 34.7 3,725 7.7 266.1 27 14 171 35.2 71 52 9 25 93.7 2 Sam Darnold NYJ QB 239 414 57.7 31.8 2,865 6.9 220.4 17 15 130 31.4 76T 40 4 30 77.6 3 Josh Rosen ARI QB 217 393 55.2 28.1 2,278 5.8 162.7 11 14 112 28.5 75T 23 4 45 66.7 4 Josh Allen BUF QB 169 320 52.8 26.7 2,074 6.5 172.8 10 12 89 27.8 75T 30 5 28 67.9 5 Lamar Jackson BAL QB 99 170 58.2 10.6 1,201 7.1 75.1 6 3 60 35.3 74 13 2 16 84.5 He only really played QB in 7 games, even though Baltimore threw him in there every game for a handful of snaps.. So these Att/G is skewed because he averaged about 23 Att/G when starting. I would also estimate he averaged around 160 yds per game in those 7 games, not the 75 over 16. How's he compare to Josh Allen? Would Baltimore seriously let Flacco walk for a garbage replacement? Highlights: Lot of runs but look at the passes also. The guy sees the field so well on runs and passes. Excited to see what he does next year!

Ironic that Baltimore took him! Lamar was my dark horse QB. Despite all his running and lack of touch on the ball, he seemed to read the field and make good decisions in college. His touch improved last year. Interested to see how good he will be.

Don't know much about this guy but in those clips he really gets after it once the ball is snapped. Nasty! I like him, good pickup.

Living in Cleveland, I get to see big Ben play at least twice a year and I feel he should have retired this past season. He's lost consistency and zip on his ball, IMO he's fallen to the line of marginal starter/good backup. The Steelers winning culture is critically ill and I wonder if getting rid of Ben is the cure.

I think this was more of a statement move by Beane, to show Buffalo will be a player in the market. AB isn't a realistic fit here.

AB is on the downside of his career and probably wants to go to a Superbowl contender. We are not that, yet.

http://blog.cleveland.com/pdextra/2012/09/how_cleveland_lost_the_browns.html Modell was ignored for years by the city, even when the Gateway complex (Cavs/Indians) was being planned he was being ignored. None of the city leadership thought he'd actually consider moving the team. The best was when Mayor Mike White acted all surprised and outraged after ignoring Modell for so long. But Art was a lousy businessman too and Baltimore's deal bailed him out of financial problems in Cleveland. On one level I don't blame Modell for moving the team because, at the time, City government was the quintessential definition of red tape but it was very much a d#ck thing he did.

As long as Dorsey is in charge, those days are over. But there's always a risk of Haslam going all Ralph Wilson and deciding to fire him.

Him just being able to pull off those opening statements should merit him a tryout. He packed a lot of words into an escalator ride! I hope he gets to broadcast, I agree he would be good.

Kareem Hunt had a nice side to him.

How has football enabled his behavior? The behavior would be there with or without football. The Browns and NFL have laid out a detailed plan he needs to execute to be considered for reinstatement. It's certainly up to him, but he has a structure to operate within. Hunt had a rough early childhood before moving to Willoughby to finish middle and high school.

He clearly made a mistake, a party went sideways, I'm sure he regretted what he did but it all went away at first and so at 23 he unwisely decided it would all stay away and he lied to KC about it. It happens to non NFL people too. Even if he hadn't made those mistakes he was serving alcohol to a minor. The video surfacing and forcing him to be fully accountable was a blessing in disguise for him. His future actions will tell.

Of course not, but why should he not use it if available? For better or worse the NFL does understand the disadvantaged backgrounds and does try and help guys like him. Just like Josh Gordon.
