People who post here and think they have the right to know about private personnel matters as well as the medical condition of a player (another issue) are mistaken. I mean, not really a "private personnel matter." The termination of a very successful head coach mere months before a highl...

Anybody seen it? Thoughts? I’m taking my son this week, so I don’t have any thoughts yet. I’ll wait until I’ve seen it and considered it before sharing. Dune 2 yet? My son and I very much enjoyed it, hungry for 3. Agreed about seeing again...each viewing of 1 was more interesting than first viewing...

“ Mohamed A. El-Erian @elerianm Asked about the level of inflation, Federal Reserve Chair Powell responds "3% cannot be in a sentence with satisfactory." What if 3% turns out to be closer to the equilibrium inflation rate for a US economy (i) going through major structural changes, severa...

Civil disobedience has an honorable history in the USA. Vandalism not so honorable, violence not so honorable. Seems to me that differentiation matters. Just as not all 10,000 on Jan 6 did more than trespass on restricted outdoor grounds, and perhaps chant stupid or hateful things, so too most of t...

Starsia: Had one of his athletes murder a UVA woman’s player. Not fired immediately Pressler: His team hired a couple of cheap, low grade hookers on Spring Break which turned South Thompson - Amherst: Players allegedly had racial allegations on dorms Bates: Princeton, illegal elbow to a player actu...

ugh, specific people and old news.

I guess if there's still a case pending not entirely 'old' but ugh.

OK here's my fantasy, animated by the reality that there is no coalition among Republicans with the courage to do anything about this guy: Trump has a heart attack and dies or is sufficiently incapacitated that he cannot run for office. Presumably then -- in my fantasy, mind you -- the GOP can go t...

You all cool with this? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/palestinian-refugees-us-gaza-white-house/ Philosophically? sure. No doubt that asylum could apply for some, particularly those brutalized by Hamas. That said, the far better answer is for Gaza to be freed from Hamas terror and ongoing war, and fo...

Nancy allowing us a look behind the curtain of how she ruled with an iron fist. Just like a good democrat....you disagree with her, you get attacked and name called.... kind of like around here: ;) https://x.com/CortesSteve/status/1785070721724473492 LOL :roll: Pelosi does go too far in saying &quo...

This is a rather ugly thread in its discussion of specific people by those with usually imperfect information. On the other hand, the general topic of what should and should not be a firing “ for cause” issue is perhaps productive. I have rather strong feelings about a couple of these situations, an...

People can use this as bulletin board material if they want. But, as of right now, it seems like, in no order: Calvert Hall, Boys' Latin, and McDonogh are at least a small step above everyone else. That appears fair, albeit as we know all too well, teams 4-6 and maybe even 4-8, in any given year, a...
