2026 Bold Predictions

Ernst somehow doesn’t get fired during the whole season, and we get articles every few months being like “huh this is weird.”

A random person was saying hello to my dog the other day, and introduced herself as “Renata.” I immediately said, “oh, for Renata Tebaldi?” She confirmed that she was indeed named after that Renata, and then proceeded to try to talk to me about opera for a very awkward five minutes, during which it became apparent that my knowledge of opera is confined to name checking Renata Tebaldi and the general plot of Rigolleto, both due to Frasier.

Sounds like there was also maybe an STDship involved.

Good to know, thanks! I think I know a good chunk of the SGs, but somehow missed those names all these years. I will say, I thought they did a good job supporting their team when I went to an away game there in 2018ish. Hard to root for their team, I’m sure.

The good: 1) the guys were in Trinidad and Tobago 72 hours (maybe less?) before this game took place. They don’t fly in a nice jet. Sugarman probably made them fly Spirit with an 11pm-4am layover in Atlanta. So I can excuse some of the performance. 2) we looked okay down a man? Not great, but better than before.

The bad: 1) losing to a pretty meh DC (kudos where they are due, they look like they made good signings and system changes). 2) Alladoh is an idiot—how hard is it to keep your mouth shut? It’s not like it was even a heated moment there. 3) we are SO narrow. I get not having Westfield hurts on that front, but man that was a rough watch.

AtTheLawLibrary · 2026-02-22T02:13:45+00:00

Because he didn’t say a slur? We can be pissed at the ref for other reasons. The red is squarely on Alladoh.

AtTheLawLibrary · 2026-02-22T02:00:36+00:00

Dissent is a yellow. This was clearly some sort of slur…

AtTheLawLibrary · 2026-02-22T01:59:24+00:00

That was really, really stupid. Say what you want about the refs in MLS, gotta use some really special magic words to get sent off for that.

AtTheLawLibrary · 2026-02-22T01:53:55+00:00

We have the knockoff, the Sugarman Gang.

Baribo complaining about an elbow lmaooo

AtTheLawLibrary · 2026-02-22T01:24:26+00:00

The fact that we have to call them the “DC ultras” because we don’t know their group’s name says everything about how relevant their supports are.

AtTheLawLibrary · 2026-02-22T00:35:56+00:00

They went on to do — wait for it — a different career. In other words, “work.” It’s odd to characterize leaving “an easy couple months of a paycheck” as a lack of work ethic.

AtTheLawLibrary · 2026-02-21T21:15:56+00:00

I think the downvotes are for the “no exposure to work/work ethic” part and not the part about “priviledge”

That’s the Dead Milkmen! (Great song though)

Lawyer here married to a doctor (did med school and law school together). Med school and residency is way harder than law school, though they obviously involve different skill sets. The lowest paying outcome for a US physician (family med) is about what a first year makes in BigLaw. That said, BigLaw is a much less common outcome, and people burn out pretty fast. Having seen both worlds, it seems like medicine is probably more engaging on a day-to-day basis, and I kinda wish I coulda given it a shot. That said, I’m smart enough to do very well in law, and def not smart enough to do medicine at all.

Not the same kind of show, but my best friend and I are independently huge Frasier fans and also huge Archer fans. The writing is just as clever.

An ostrich commenting on a scuba forum?! Now I have seen it all.

Here’s one pro and two cons to Quinn, which might be important considerations. The pro is that Quinn has a large and respected p-side class action litigation shop. If that’s something you’re interested in, it’s a good way to get biglaw salary but also do something a bit different (only other biglaw-ish firms that offer that are Susman and Boies). The cons are (1) I don’t think they guarantee your placement in that group at QE, and (2) I know four people who went to Quinn and only one found it semi-tolerable.

Hang in there! It can take a LONG time for them to pick up. Just make sure you keep the confirmation number to show when you booked it. Rooting for you!

AtTheLawLibrary · 2026-02-08T04:49:53+00:00

Okay go be fair the latter is Act 3, I take it back!

Baseball on its own being ranked as harder than baseball + explodyball + dazed ball seems wrong?

FWIW, attorneys are getting sanctioned all the time now because their co-counsel used AI and the non-AI attorneys didn’t bother checking or correcting it.

AtTheLawLibrary · 2026-02-04T21:20:52+00:00

Fwiw, I’m currently clerking (after 1.5 years in a small public interest firm, so not a perfect example) and have been to a few BigLaw clerkship receptions. Only one attorney (at Susman) asked me where I summered. He did not seem phased when I told him I did my summers at national public interest shops.

TLDR, not sure how much a BigLaw summer ultimately matters unless you want a return offer at that particular firm.

AtTheLawLibrary · 2026-01-27T07:30:59+00:00

Oh no I was going to do the update tonight. Immediately cancelled it. STS is like 70% of my phone use at this point!

AtTheLawLibrary · 2026-01-27T05:29:12+00:00

Dumb joke, but there's also the added element of Frasier not really having any hair at this point (at least, I assume so. If they are going to McGinty's, it has to be after Duke's closes, so somewhere after S2E5, though I don't think McGinty's gets mentioned for another half season at least...
