However this game turns out, Oregon, who beat no one worth beating this season, does not belong in the playoff.

If Sitake stays put (and it looks like he will), who does Penn State get?

Pretty much.
What's not understandable is how long most of these things will sit vacant before something sensible is done with the land. I wish I had brilliant ideas, but I got nothing.

So there soon will be two white elephants at the intersection of Route 30 and I-65. A performing arts center was torn down few years ago and is basically a weed farm now.
A massive Amazon data center -- with far fewer jobs -- is going up on the other side of the interstate.

IIRC, the mall in Merrillville right off I-65 was the second-largest in the state. It basically exists today as a place for folks to walk when the weather is lousy. One of its anchors, Dick's Sporting Goods, moved across the road to a large strip mall.

Is Alina Habba the general counsel to DHS?

What's stunning to me is the fact these people don't seem to understand that there is a record of everything they do.
The former mayor of Detroit seemed flummoxed when he was confronted with his text messages ... sent on a device owned by the city.

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:

Yup.
Same thing with having ICE all over the place in cities like Chicago, etc. They want a response. They want footage to justify to dummies that there's uncontrolled violence that they need to crack down on.
They want another Kent State ... only bigger.

My town is having a Buy Nothing Black Friday event where you bring all the stuff you want to get rid of and other people get to shop it for free. And you get to shop other people's "I can't use this anymore" stuff, too. There's also a voter registration drive at the same time. Just brilliant.

Based solely on "4 Little Girls" and his take on Katrina, I'd love to see Spike Lee, if he wants to, give a remake of "Eyes on the Prize" a go.

Jim Justice also appears to be the first-ever U.S. Senator to be embalmed before actually dying.

Oh man, people aren't taking us seriously ...
How about we get an 80-something lawyer who's been credibly linked to kiddie rape and woman who's enriched herself cheer-leading for school shootings?
BRILLIANT!

Who will they lobby? If they're on the MAGA shit list their successors (in most cases) will be told not to give them the time of day.

I care a lot more about our air-traffic-control system being adequately staffed than what someone on a Spirit flight is wearing on their trip from Columbus to Fort Lauderdale.

Somebody might remind Fuckboy up there that its usually drunk-ass richies in first class who often end up making flights hell on the crew.

I'm sure the attorneys they send to appeal this will be every bit as shitty as the shitty wax mannequin they sent to actually secure the bogus indictments.
What could go wrong?

The same FBI flying a shitty country singer around with an armed security detail because she's boinking the FBI director ... who's old enough to be her dad?
That FBI?

I appreciate you doing this.
Please ask your colleagues across the aisle to being determining this man's fitness to hold the office. A drunk at the end of the bar who started shrieking about killing people he doesn't like would be arrested.

Um, yeah.
And I don't think this offensive line is going to suddenly improve before they see the Packers again and, gulp, travel to play the Rams.
Two years ago was their best chance to get to a Super Bowl ... sigh.

It can be both things at once.
Question: Can a judge refer an attorney to said attorney's bar association or does the complaint have to come from elsewhere?
I'd like to think the sort of thing Halligan allegedly did is a pretty serious error by an officer of the court.

This season seems to be proving a 16-team, much less 12-team, playoff is kind of just a money grab.
There's Ohio State, Notre Dame and Georgia ... and maybe A&M? Nobody else appears to be in their class.

When your enemies are fighting your job is to add fuel to the fire not yell at the people saying that it's good that they are fighting. A lot of people on this app have never been in a fist fight and it shows daily.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but the no-alcohol Guinness tastes just like a Guinness.
So there's that!
