Wow, who is choppin' onions at work this afternoon?

Very cool.

That is pretty cool that the hospital overlooks the field...it's actually weird to see a building like that towering over a college football stadium. I was enjoying the stunned faces in the crowd Saturday night but was definitely thinking about the kids up there

I had 3 surgeries at CHoP and knew that some of the other kids were in so much worse shape than me. Hats off to anyone who sends a vibe to the (really sick) kids.

TLDR: adidas paid players and coaches to get players to adidas schools.

I worked with the FBI's informant at Smith Barney:

Once the business manager began cooperating with law enforcement, he seems to have become the key to the investigation. He paid about $91,500 in bribes to Chuck Person, an assistant coach at Auburn University, over a 10-month period, in exchange for the coach encouraging NBA-bound players on the Auburn team to retain the business manager’s services, according to the criminal complaint against Person.

[tifosi77]

At the meeting, Person introduced the business manager to the player and was recorded telling the player, “This is a violation of rules, but this how the NBA players get it done, they get early relationships…they form trust, you get to know [the business manager]."

I guess "this is a violation of the law" didn't test as well.

“In one instance, Blazer actually pitched the movie project to an athlete as an investment opportunity, but that client expressly refused to make the investment,” stated a SEC press release. “Blazer allegedly took $550,000 from the client’s account anyway and invested the money in the film projects.”

Good thing the GOP is scrapping that fiduciary rule for investment advisors.

How the hell is LSU losing to Troy?

How the hell is LSU losing to Troy?

Ed Orgeron is a bad coach and Matt Canada should have stayed at Pitt.

Rice +20.5 @ Pitt

If you see someone at the street corner with a sign in one hand and a tin cup in the other, the above picks are why.

The rarely seen 0 for sixer

Impressive

[slappybrown]

I am all for Clemson-Bama III I've decided

Yeah, best of show without question.

Aside: seeing UPS crushed by one will be pleasing.
