I think Bobbers is giving us the Cliff Clavin analysis of Texas AG duties.

It's not a ruling but rather an injunction granted pending litigation that results in a ruling. Try citing the description in the Texas Constitution that verifies your contention that the Attorney General is required in all circumstances to defend state entities regardless of context and other state court activities, which may include other state injunctions. It seems to me you might well be an unwitting legal positivist in the tradition of Hans Kelsen.

Seeing the criminal sooners dominate Bama is no bueno. Need to pull that rabbit's foot out.

No it isn't. The job description is to uphold the law. There's no law in the state of Texas that says college athletes can gamble on their own team. You're very confused.

The Spurrier Gators remind me of the Dirk Mavs: softer than Charmin all but once.

Paxton has no legal ground to stand on. It's not the job of an AG to blindly support a state entity. This is a Campbell money thing.

To add on to this, without the 2001 rules changes made to stop Kobe and Shaq from winning ten titles, guys like Curry and Jokic would have been career NBA bench warmers, but many analytical goobers think they're great.

I've been wanting to post something about this, but thought it would be overkill given my previous criticism of talk about Wemby being the best 22 year old player in history. To throw him a bone, he can be the best player now and simply not be clutch. It's not his fault that being the best now doesn't really mean much.

The Spurs are going to have to "protect" Wemby and acquire at least a couple of guys who have a pair.

Between unethical Tech and choking Spurs, the state of Texas is taking a beating in the sports world this week.

Knicks fans amusingly lack self-awareness. This is the clearest case of one team giving a series away you could possibly imagine.

I've avoided talking about Mitch Johnson to this point, but he was beyond bad last night. It won't matter what they do in the regular season or playoffs unless they get back to the Finals and win. This is literally the biggest choke job in the history of professional sports.

This is embarrassing beyond belief. Should be up at least 3-1 but now down 1-3. This is the kind of thing that ruins a team.

Kareem threw the 1985 Western Conference Champion trophy in the laundry hamper. Kobe Bryant famously refused to celebrate or touch the Western Conference championship trophy during his career, setting a standard that only the final NBA championship mattered. He and the Los Angeles Lakers did not put on championship hats or shirts for winning the Western Conference Finals, choosing to remain stoic.

By the way, it was thirty years ago today that Kobe performed the most famous pre-draft workout in NBA history when he was 17 at the Inglewood YMCA. That evening, Jerry West invited Kobe to dinner at his house. Jerry's wife made Italian food for Kobe and Jerry promised Kobe that the Lakers would acquire him even if he had to trade the whole team while they listened to Soul and Inspiration by the Righteous Brothers.
