Not worth the draft pick and the $13M base salary.

OK, like who? And why would the Chefs necessarily be the beneficiaries?

Brind'Amour is still coaching the 'Canes. As for Lindy, Terry kept him for a couple seasons after buying the team and that was the start of the drought. Peca would be interesting.

No. Just...no.

Sorry, I thought I read that Adams was also gone.

Huh? How?

I would have been shocked if they'd been brought back. Just missing the playoffs by 1 point last year and then regressing this year said their time was up. So who would people like to see be brought in as GM and HC?

Not all acts are criminal and/or are worthy of being charged. You also know this. The fact that (off-duty) cops were involved and his friends weren't rich (if the theory is that being rich gets you out of trouble) and still no charges were filed should tell you everything you need to know. But what did you think (hope) he was going to be charged with? A poor imitation of a WWE stomp? A felony? He brought it up as evidence of the "criminals" the Chefs have had on their teams. Not that they didn't have enough more recent examples...

Dems: The party of babies who govern like young children.

Yep, it was a weak attempt. We all saw the video. Hence no charge. You're not making your case here.

"Fundamental transformation." Because they love America...

"Minor incursion."

Right. That they felt emboldened under Obama and Biden is just a coincidence.

Yes, the world melting down is proof positive of that...

It would not surprise me in the least but I'd like to see video of this.

Not so fast. I think we're both in agreement that Rice is screwed here. His being rich won't help him.

Few people are worthy of adulation once you truly get to know them. And while he may be a POS, it doesn't automatically make him a criminal. I'd put defending a friend in a bar fight so far down the list of "POS" things to do and barely a blip on the criminal scale.

Now end of career...

It's been almost 4 months. Where's the 4th time? But yes, if/when it happens, that will be close to, if not at, the top.

It's mostly a crap shoot.

Yeah, a guy with his friend in a head lock. Wait, not just a guy, a cop. If your belief is "Shady should know better"...shouldn't the cop? It was a bar fight. Hence no charges. We've been over this many times. Your "he was rich, that's why the DA lied and screwed over his own cops" doesn't hold any water. Your pitchfork never gets put away. Because you fall for the original narrative every...single...time.

Being rich can certainly help you when the aggrieved party isn't rich. But this case has numerous aspects where Rice won't be able to skate so easily. My point with Shady's case is that it involved cops and no DA would favor a rich athlete over his own guys. Much less the non-rich friend(s) who were mostly involved in the bar fight. You know they investigated it to the fullest extent possible and found nothing to charge anyone with.

I find it funny that anyone would think Melania cared that Trump was banging other chicks. That meant less time that she needed to do the job. Especially during pregnancy.

Then why didn't his non-rich friend(s) get charged? The other guys weren't your average citizens: they were cops.

I would have waited for more than 1 instance. But that's just me. Again the difference in energy level between the 2 is marked.
