Oh agreed...would put too many of their own dollars at risk. MLB needs it so badly. College football perhaps as well.

Add promotion and relegation to the G League, both tanking and the draft issues go by the wayside. Immediately regular season games become relevant again, TV ratings rise, more money flows in, etc.

“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.” - 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 When providers stop treating people with poor diets, no exercise, etc...

Likely so - time will tell and when we actual details, we'll hammer away at those responsible and demand accountability

It's not a rich man's game...it's a wealthy man's game. As Chris Rock joked, Shaq is rich, but the guy signs Shaq's paychecks - he's wealthy.

My assumption is we'll have a more accurate behind the scenes understanding well into the future once he's held accountable for his reprehensible behavior

I know nothing about UK law, but even how this is allowed to be reported and potential penalties against journalists for reporting this under assumptions demonstrates that there are limits to what can be done

I assume that to be the case as well - but I saw an issue with a client's company where they had to continue "consistent market expectations for the role" otherwise they'd be considered to be assessing the employee of being guilty (he was) and being liable for damages (quite material).

And that in no way excuses his apparently abhorrent behavior

Feels like we need to constantly remind ourselves that we have zero insight as to what was happening within the club, what the approach was, and what legal ramifications they were dealing with. I have seen things before at work where it would appear terrible without all the information.

Our women were incredible yesterday

I'll take poll tax for $1,000, Ken

This is rough...here are the impacted schools and the type of programs being cut. I can't understand how any Administration wouldn't align withese these initiatives. prichardcommittee.org/community-sc...

Honestly outside of our men and women's teams, the only matches I care about are West Ham and that lot up the road because we all need a bit of joy in our lives

I mean, you can disagree with the data or not like the data...but he's presenting a factual take based on the data. Feel free to drop some counter data and provide the source material and I think most would willingly use it along with you to support their narrative.

That "when" becomes increasingly close to an "if" should West Ham nick a win today...

What would "ethical tanking" be? Trying to win but being terrible?

Agreed on the schedule, but think the "change" may just be stability in the lineup after a brutal injury start to the season. Our sub patterns on offense have been particularly effective recently now that we actually have the depth.

The reality is there has been a change, actually a few of them. The lead stayed the same, but the amount of matches remaining decreased by 7% and Arsenal's goal differential lead increased by 66%. These are not positives for City.

The process to amend the Constitution is established, which he'll have to follow. Otherwise see Article 1, Section 4: "The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof."

To be fair, the Patriots should have watched us and learned how to convert set pieces

Someone in the UK media right now is working up a piece as to why that's Arsenal's fault

Most definitely dark humor

Absolutely life changing for the better. Tough year of prep, surgery, and recovery for both, plus one year of "take it easy", but zero pain and greater mobility and flexibility than before the surgeries

I had passed on them before the new technology came out for the artificial discs as every option before would either be a coin toss for success or would massively limit my mobility. Took four greats - product, surgeon, insurance, and wife. All four were great.

Six months prior I had the same done, but just one disc, at L5-S1. Both have been remarkable successes - no pain immediately other than surgical recovery, which took about 8-10 weeks of diligence. Not fun, but has been worth it.

Degenerative discs were down to fragments, performed an ALIF and removed them. Artificial discs that are "spongy" were put in their places, allow for cushioning and movement, then encased in a titanium cage for protection. It's the same procedure Peyton Manning had and could play in the NFL again.

Echo this...ended up having discs replaced from C4-7 last year and there was nothing a chiropractor could do to help no matter how many pseudoscience people advised going that route. Get an Ortho to scan it and SEE the problem, then treat it
