Mr. WEO

every defendant claims they did nothing wrong. but if there are demonstrable damages they may settle. too late for that...

They also concluded that Goodell coerced the owners into selling off games to streaming services, doubling the overseas games and demanding publicly funded stadiums. My god—he’s Rasputin reborn!!

Your empathy for perps is exemplary just telling like it is. That’s not for everyone…

lol was there a “small town malpractice insurer” back then? anyway, the point stands. MedMal insurers don’t like to part with their money—even in rural SC. Your father in law should have considered “going bare” in his practice environment. it’s also true that patients with no legitimate claim struggle to find attorneys to accept or go forward with their case as they would recover no fee for all the unbillable hours. This is why they have screeners. yeah that and I’m “naive about lawyers” lol Keep going, you’re doing just fine!

Insurers don’t settle cases that have zero merit. Having been sued and having reviewed and testified as an expert witness in far more cases, an insurer will only settle if there are actual damages and they fear a jury award would be higher. After both plaintiff and defendant experts weigh in on paper or deposition, they typically decide to settle or defend the case. I’ve never seen a case where “nothing wrong happened” to warrant a settlement offer. They are loathe to settle “nuisance cases”. It’s not a good habit for them to get into for obvious reasons.

AP had great #'s in Minny, then mediocre on 6 subsequent teams (barring 1 season over 1000 in WAS). He became Frank Gore. Vikings were 1-4 in the playoffs in his time with them. 4 winning seasons out of 10 there. Not a game changer. Josh Allen is a far more valuable and therefore a much better pick than AP. It's not even debatable really....

He's great there, but not really a "scene stealer"--he's a lead/primary character in that show. Has to be someone who has an arc in the life of a show or a season of it and is gone--but makes th absolute most of his/her appearances.

Why should "society at large" benefit from a victim of assault's suffering? That doesn't make any sense at all. How many civil payouts ever have been given away by the victim or their families? It's righteous compensation. "Society at large", which includes all the jock sniffers, hero worshippers, boosters, dirty universities and look the other way college town cops, clearly deserve nothing. The purpose of suing for money is to punish and inflict financial pain on the perp, obviously. If the victim can't take the perp's freedom, they will seek to take the second most precious thing--his livelihood.....which, if allegations are true, he was allowed to earn because he was never charged by a pliant local police force (anyone remember the James Winston "investigation" at Florida State, or the serial sexual assault of the Ohio State wrestlers?) and University. The monetary award and the shame it piles on the perp (who would lose his status as well) is the best a victim could hope for.

who you got? Here's the GOAT:

Understand the pool depth before diving in… Cheers and enjoy the long weekend

you said I was "naive" about lawyers. how so? for anyone who still in't sure...

you read incorrectly, but anyway… help me out—since you brought naïveté, Why would a lawyer agree to take a case on contingency fee basis without asking the client any basic questions at all?

The Athletic/NYT reported that she posted a copy of the police report and the university's Title IX hearing on her social media.....in 2022. Also, that the university's daily crime log showed that "offenses" of first-degree rape and first-degree burglary (that he broke into her dorm room)were investigated. No lawyer is going to file such a suit based solely on a client saying they went to the cops and the hospital....come on!

Is Baby Knox worth it?

"I should have taken him for 2 billion..."

If Barkley reverts towards his baseline, Eagles have no chance with that passing game.

I stand corrected: 2 dud years on 3 different teams--thanks man!

Infinitely more likely than any CB alive, let alone White. no one is arguing he was "a consensus #1 pick", so you can holster that straw man. swatting flies.....lol.

so you are saying the law should not allow a suit to be filed after 2 years or are you saying the case has no merit? Most such cases will settle before court anyway. Either way the plaintiff gets “their day in court court” in that the defendant must respond. In discovery, they both can make their case in deposition no one is arguing that people lie about facts that they can then sue over. this person filed a police report at the time, when this kid was essentially a nobody.

what is your basis for saying their should not even be the opportunity for a civil trial?

no one would equate Brady coming out of college with Mahomes. You just did I think.. who knows what he would have done in Buffalo??? lol wtf

I took a first date to that movie when it was first in the theaters lol

wrong: that changed in 2023. "Nothing in this Policy should be read to limit the league’s authority to investigate or discipline potential Policy violations alleged to have occurred before a player is under contract or Draft-eligible."
