Lip readers, what did the guy say? It must have been good to get the manager tossed so quickly.

It's been lovingly referred to as an 'Incel' Camino.

Yeah so how did a juror get on there whose sole news source is owned by the defendant? Deal made between the legal teams? Prosecution could have been out of strikes (that isn't the word, so we'll never know on this board) The only thing that makes sense to me is that the next jurors on the list wer...

The new Taylor Swift album seems fine so far, but I have to say, I prefer her older stuff, before she became less commercial.

Doesn't that chart mean that they are on the jury? Unless something comes up and they have to be excused?

Apparently the deposits were only a hundred bucks a seat. And they haven’t announced prices for the actual season tickets yet.

Utahns are desperate for national attention. This place went crazy when a Hard Rock Café opened. So I think this’ll be a huge deal for a while.

How are the Black Hawks looking?

They needed for it be a western locale. Detroit or Columbus would have pitched a fit about the added travel of a shift back to the western conference. It should be noted that the Denver area population has grown significantly these last 25 years. No sure that is expected in SLC. I hope to god that ...

Also, thanks TB for pointing out right at the start that the story had an eventually good ending.

I feel like our posts in this thread should start with a content warning as to whether the post will be happy or sad.

My concern all along has been that SLC is just too small to support an NHL or MLB team. But apparently our population is really close to the population of Denver when the Rockies started and the Avalanche moved in. I'm certainly not going to claim that we deserve a team, certainly not more than Queb...

Oh my god that is to terrifying. I'm so glad River is okay.

Fantastic news, Rass!

Looks like my company has a new corporate overlord...Chapter 11 auction was yesterday. New owner is Bruker ( https://www.bruker.com/en.html ). ETA: Sale Price was $392,555,000 That's good news, right? I think so...original stalking horse bid was a PE holding company, with a bid of $220 million. So ...

I had no idea one could place prop bets on an individual player's performance in a single game. That's just begging for crookedness, especially in the NBA. Hopefully the feds will investigate everyone Porter dealt with. You know he's not the only one to take a dive to help someone win a bet. (But it...

They put 7 of the 10 Big *Ten* schools together.

That link says they are leaving their name and logo in Phoenix, presumably for a future expansion team. I wonder what they'll nickname the team? Something that says, "Utah" I guess? Hmm... "Jazz" is already taken..., maybe the Utah Zydeco? Or, the Utah Hiphop? SLC Punk? Whalers....

I remember that one, now that you mention it.

He was not a pitcher you'd expect to hit a homer. He only had 2 HRs in 600+ PAs before the AL adopted the DH.

Watched the first two episodes of Guy Ritchie’s new series The Gentlemen , on Netflix ( a spinoff from the movie of the same name). I’m enjoying it very much. Very Guy Ritchie-ish, in the crime/comedy sense. We finished this yesterday. We loved it, but weird show. I'm not familiar with Guy Ritchie,...

As long as we're reaching that far back, three-time WS winner Ken Holtzman.

Iran attacking Israel is not good right? Though at least Israel is picking a fight with a country that actually has a military unlike Palestine. Israel sees that it’s losing support with Biden and centrist Dems, so Israel provokes Iran into attacking Israel, so now Rs and Dems both will rally behin...

That was fucking amazing. Stayed clear enough here in Cleveland to see the whole thing. I’ve always been an astronomy nerd, and I never thought I’d ever see a total eclipse.

Is that their reputation now? It used to be that the only sport more brutal than Big Ten football was Big Ten basketball.
