Correct, and if true it won’t be a good thing. Private equity has bought up a bunch of Vet practices, and I swear they’ve doubled the cost of pet ownership.

re: Ukraine and the EU seem really confused about the role of a mediator in a dispute.

It’s not a perfect analogy, but Trump’s role has been similar to what a mediator does. Any lawyer who practices civil litigation knows exactly what is going on. Unfortunately most people and the media just don’t understand.

Maybe all the schools should start doing it. Burn the system to the ground.

Discussing this in the context of “boomers” will get this off track quickly. But all the things this guy lists are pretty much true.

Upperline was a real loss. Always liked that place. Great location, but he has Saba going not far away. Wonder what kind of restaurant it will be.

I’ve always wanted to like Saba, but it’s nothing special IMO.

As is the case with many other things, the courts have destroyed a good thing. The arrogance of unaccountable people in black robes strikes again.

If she had any sense she would ditch the Pels and keep the Saints. Then hire a new team to run it. But I’m afraid doing that would far exceed her abilities.

With the new stadium it’s actually not a terrible bowl game. Watched Vandy play Georgia Tech last year. Very good game.

IMO, BK ranks just above Curley Hallman. He’s that bad for the program

He’s just bad in a different way. Curley tried, but just didn’t have it. BK essentially defrauded us. Had he cared and worked hard things probably would have been different. Hell, with even above average QB play this year we might be in the playoffs.

No one is really talking about it, but Oklahoma isn’t a good football team. Yeah, they have a good record, but they’re still bad. The playoffs are a joke.
