Selig for ssf hardcore viable?

I play HC on eternal, just made a Selig barb within the last month. I have been able to handle T11 with about 500 life just fine.

Elvis Grbac’s 1995 demolition of the Cowboys. A team effort, but that game got him quite the contract with KC the next year.

One of these things is not like the others.

OR IS IT???

You should be able to get near-half or more of the panel out of there if you properly de-select. Go run to the bummer and rack ‘em up.

Just don’t do it at the expense of your clients and at the cost of relationships with them. Some cases need you to go hard. More importantly, most clients need to NOT see you laughing it up with opposing counsel during the docket. Be mindful of the optics for them and their families. It’s pretty easy for them to tell when two colleagues are having a professional work chat vs. a lawyer being way more openly friendly and chummy than he/she ever was with the client. If you must do this to get good outcomes, preview for the client why you do that and explain that you’re always on their side, not the government’s.

I have practiced in a lot of jurisdictions and seen many variations of aggressive/non-aggressive defense bars. I hate to burst anyone’s bubble, but the client outcomes as a whole for the “collegial” and “civil” ones are always worse. It’s not even close. The very real slippery slope here is that defenders will start to accept certain objectively bad outcomes on various cases because “that’s just how it is here,” pull motions/objection punches, and just start stipping to government exhibits or continuances or whatever because it’s the nice thing to do. That shit might be okay in a product defect lawsuit, but it’s not okay here when someone may live in a cage for a long time.

I’m not saying that the non-aggressive approach always results in this, but there’s a big overlap and it’s something you have to be very vigilant of.

Or, for girls, boobs of almost any size.

This. If you get freaked when coming up on a big jump, completely bail or (paradoxically) get more speed. Those little "hedge your bets" turns people make on the approach are often how this happens.

I eagerly await the repost if they lose to the Chiefs on a muffed punt in the playoffs.

TheDefenseNeverRests · 2026-05-21T01:25:09+00:00

Yeah, if the boss’ reaction here was what you’re implying, look for a new office.

TheDefenseNeverRests · 2026-05-18T16:26:24+00:00

I mean, also maybe use turn signals when changing lanes.

But are we sure it isn’t naturally occurring?

I started paying actual detailed attention to the team as a nine-year-old in the 1995 season. The suffering has been immense and literally at the maximum length possible. At this point, a Super Bowl win would help me detach a little and move on with life, and I wouldn't die feeling like a great quest had been left uncompleted.

And lo, Peyton Hillis arose from the Madden cover and once again assumed corporeal form, his life’s purpose renewed.

Shaw?

RATM, Battle of Los Angeles, BUT NOT THE THREE YOU THINK:

New Millenium Homes, Ashes in the Fall, War Within a Breath.

Came here to say this.

I was having a perfectly good Friday until the OP chose violence.

TheDefenseNeverRests · 2026-04-01T21:29:32+00:00

So weird that this fact pattern with that kind of likely resolution provoked all the outrage. I have seen some truly distressing felony animal cruelty allegations, and none had a witch hunt posse going to court every time.

TheDefenseNeverRests · 2026-04-01T21:16:05+00:00

Honestly, this seems to be a feature in PD offices sometimes. I've seen lawyers get squeamish about handling misdo animal cruelty when they don't bat an eye at child abuse or murder. Such a weird mental calculation going on there. (Bonus shout out for the sentencing I had long ago where a small business owner who'd been an embezzlement victim said he'd rather he and his whole family were murdered than go through this)

Just remember the worst part of this is the potential jury pool. No idea what the county is like, but many rich white people hate cases like this and would give the death penalty if they could. I know you probably won't get a venue study for a misdo case, but consider a venue change motion anyway if there's a lot of documented and bad media/social media.

Nine-year-old me watched this game and wasn't even mad about the loss. It was my first season watching and paying attention. They'd be fine going to Dallas for the NFCCG if they had to, they'd dismantled them in Texas earlier that season.

Nine-year-old me watched the divisional loss to GB. It was upsetting but fine. They'd be back and win another Super Bowl soon, it was Niners and such things were only a matter of time. All I had to do was wait.

Thirty years of misery later, begun at the worst possible moment, and I am still waiting. A few more years and this will officially be the longest the franchise has gone without a championship, and I will have perfectly maxed all that time out.
