You're telling me that the 10th worst record would have better odds at the top pick, then the 3 worst records? Is that right?!?


Yep. No more incentive to be the worst team in the league anymore. The bottom 3 will be fighting to get out of the bottom 3 instead of trying to lose.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest one way it can be done in Louisiana is for the Sec of State to ignore results on mail-in ballots with respect to votes cast for congressional seats (which are now considered unconstitutional); legislators can redraw district maps during the current regular session and establish new qualifying/election dates that align with fall elections.


Early voting starts this Saturday.
Early voting starts Saturday. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.
Wait…this huge, groundbreaking story is based solely on the use of a Gmail account?

There has to be more to this.

Fines, alone, are not an impediment.


Yeah…read the rest of my post and see the link. Severely limits types of transactions you can make if you’re over the aprons.
They just changed it a few years ago to significantly increase the financial penalties for multiple years in the luxury tax and limit the types of transactions you can do if you’re above the 2 aprons. You’ve seen teams shed salary since they implemented this.

Thought it was a great movie. Really enjoyed it. Didn’t think it was overly political at the end at all and could have described both of our political parties.

Excited that they cast James Norton for Lord Ormund Hightower. He's such a good actor.


I wasn’t familiar with him, but looked him up because it looked like Dickon Tarley at first to me lol. Norton has a very impressive resume though so he must be good.
If reporting is accurate, this season promises to have a lot more action.

I toured the Old State Capitol for the first time in 50 years. I’m an old Republican guy and my head was spinning. Nothing but leftist, socialist, race baiting exhibits. Huey Long, Jim Crow, KKK, all intended to sow discord, hate and discontent.


I’m what this board calls a “leftist” and I also toured the old state capitol recently. Definitely didn’t leave with thoughts of hate or rage at what I saw. Nothing in there was untrue. I’m sorry, but that stuff is part of our history. It was sobering and informative. Didn’t make me hate anyone or feel divided. Made me feel empathy.

And if you think you’re going into a political museum in Baton Rouge and not getting a heavy dose of Huey P. Long…I mean come on lol.

What about exhibiting productive, civil aspects of all citizen’s contributions of our great state’s history in a positive manner?


There were plenty exhibits like this. Stuff on the history of the Capitol itself, every governor of Louisiana, etc.

It’s no wonder there’s so much division; to think that every grade school BR area student gets indoctrinated on their field trips. This historical society should be ashamed of this display of hatred…..


Sooo we should pretend that stuff never happened? Take it out of schools and museums? When I was in middle school in Livingston Parish, they didn’t even call the holiday MLK Day. It was Human Relations day. I’d imagine you want handled like that?

If anyone else is like me, I just want to live my life. I have a beautiful family, a great career, and I love the country I’ve been blessed to live in.


Then keep living your life. That’s what I do. Great life, family, friends, career. I keep my head down, pay my taxes, and vote.

Um….I didn’t saying anything about him. This isn’t about a specific person or party.

The Justice Department’s internal watchdog is launching an investigation into the DOJ’s production of files and documents related to Jeffrey Epstein as controversy continues over the handling of the case of the convicted sex offender.

The Inspector General will focus on “the DOJ’s identification, collection, and production of responsive material,” it said in a statement Thursday, as well as “processes for redacting and withholding material” and how the Justice Department addressed issues following the release of Epstein documents.
