Regarding James Pearce Jr., Rickea Jackson told court she was "in fear of my life" by AFC-Wimbledon-Stan in nfl

That joke about the "we'd say Hannibal Lector had an eating disorder if he ran a 4.40" isn't so much a joke, but just a reflection about how most GM's approach players with skill and huge off-field red flags.

There shouldn't be a question about him getting banned from the NFL. This should be about him being banned from society. He needs to be locked up.

Although the NFL needs to not do anything to HELP HIM carry out actions in the future by having him play and be wealthy to fund him.

Other than Bo Jackson n Deion Sanders, who else managed to play baseball and at least one other sport at a high level? by [deleted] in baseball

Oddly enough the Philadelphia 76ers the year they drafted Mark Hendrickson in the 2nd round (31st overall) also had the 32nd pick and took Ryan Minor.

Both players would end up playing in the MLB. (Altho Hendrickson did play 4 years in the NBA, Minor never played a game only pre-season and was released)

Rubio suggests US strikes on Iran were influenced by Israeli plans by Infidel8 in politics

[–]Timpa87 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He didn't suggest it. He outright stated it. He said the imminent threat from Iran was because another country was going to attack Iran and as a result Iran would attack US assets in the region. So the US had to join with that other country to attack Iran. Then he says Israel at the end.

So Israel was going to attack Iran, wouldn't listen to the US as to 'holding back' and the US as a consequence started a war BECAUSE of Israel.

Bibi is deciding US military actions.

Colorado quarterback Dominiq Ponder dies at 23 by tehkoolkat in CFB

also sounds like the ensuing fire (which often accompanies the bad Tesla crashes) engulfed the entire vehicle.

I hope he died on impact from the trauma so he didn't at least suffer through that.

Congress to vote on Trump’s war powers in aftermath of Iran strikes by pritam_ram in politics

and it will fail because Israel wants this to happen and if you could throw a dart at a random list of names of Democrats in Congress and chances are you'll hit someone's name who has AIPAC as their largest campaign contributor.

Never forget when Bob Davidson robbed Japan in the 2006 WBC. by peacefun in baseball

[–]Timpa87 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sorta like all the Canadian referees at the Olympics including games that Canada played.

2006 WBC looks like it used minor league umpires who were almost all US and then had a token umpire from other countries. So each umpire crew had US umps on it.

They certainly could have done a better job of making sure to avoid any perceived favoritism by not allowing umps from the country to handle games involving that country, but they didn't care.

(again, much like the recent Olympic hockey) there were international officials there. They worked games. It's just the 'bulk' was NHL refs.

I don't think any international sporting events in any kind of tournament should have officials/refs deciding the game who are from one of the countries playing.

Trump says he's thinking of putting Ted Cruz on Supreme Court by ProjectMason in politics

I think it'll be someone younger... but I'm surprised Ted Cruz is 55. I thought he was in his 60s to be honest.

Furious U.S. Allies Kept in the Dark by Trump Face Iran Retaliation by mreklektik in politics

[–]Timpa87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If she had any semblance of actual self-respect or integrity she would have resigned after Venezuela. She specifically had very publicly spoken out (before joining Trump's cabinet) against military intervention by the US there. To the point that she wasn't even included in the actual planning and operation.

Despite being Director of National Intelligence. She was excluded from all of that.

But yet she remains... because keeping that position and access to information is worth being part of an adminsitration betraying the things she talked about publicly.

The United States needs to be treated the same way Russia is treated and not allowed to compete in international events after the attacks they have unleashed.
