    They are as much of a blue blood as the criminal sooners or Notre Dame altar boys.

    Most of the eligibility cases have been in state courts for reasons I won't get into because it would take a while to explain. I haven't looked at the jurisdictional specifics in this case, but I must presume the monetary transactions that constitute at least some of the bets involve interstate commerce and therefore immediately results in federal priority. Epistemically speaking, this is an a priori matter. While there's no specific mention of competitive sports in the Constitution, it's undeniable that allowing players to gamble on games in which the participate would make competitive sports untenable, which is why every sports league or group does not allow it.

    This is a federal court, not a state court in which the judge is elected. Even if the judge miraculously made the incorrect ruling, it would immediately be appealed to the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans (the appellant court that has jurisdiction of Texas in federal court) and overturned. Who the lawyer is doesn't matter in this case. There's no legal ground or precedent for Sorsby to legitimately argue. Most lawyers will take a case to make money even if they know they can't win.

    I doubt this is true. Every sports league, conference, association, whatever you call it, has rules against players gambling. This is not about the right to make money like all the other cases the NCAA has lost.

    Like to see the Spurs win, but not confident Wemby will be consistent enough to pull it off.

    A ranking of all time greatest Longhorns by OTF staff. Top ten, by position, however.

    Gonna need more offensive consistency from Wemby to win the series against OKC. Hope he's ready.

    Not playing to win is playing with fire. You don't want to extend your Regional starting pitchers, but you need to compete to win within reason.

    I hope he's around at 25 for the Lakers. They need athletic wings.

    I've seen Swain mocked at 11, 13 and 14 now. He's definitely moving on up.

    Everybody can dance. Georgian can't.

    I don't think it's easily. Titles are five to four. I do think LeBron is the better all around player over the years.

    No one in their right mind thinks Duncan, Nash, Rose or Nowitzki or Iverson was ever better than Kobe.
  15. harveycmd
    Who would you pick over Kobe, CJ?
  16. harveycmd
    Given that Kobe is universally recognized as the best basketball player in the world every year from June 2000- June 2010, he should have won MVP 2001-2010.
  17. harveycmd
    Kobe straight out of high school better than any player ever from the Big East, SEC, or Big 12. That leaves Kareem (PAC 8), Jordan (ACC) and Magic (Big 10).
  18. harveycmd
    AI says Kobe at 13 is the greatest draft pick ever. Yes, Jerry West trading Vlade Divac to the Charlotte Hornets for the 13th pick to draft Kobe Bryant in 1996 is widely considered the greatest draft-day trade/pick in NBA history.
  19. harveycmd
    Only draft classes better than this year are 1996 (Kobe, 13), 2003 (LeBron, 1) and 1984 (Jordan,, 3). The fact that Kobe and Jordan didn't go 1 tells you how stupid NBA execs are.
  20. harveycmd
    Swain gonna be drafted around 13 overall because he's a badass.
  21. harveycmd
    James Worthy is the only player who played against Larry Bird and was more efficient. That was the 1985 and 1987 NBA Finals. That's why he's known as "Big Game" James.
  22. harveycmd
    That's why Kareem is the greatest basketball ever.
  23. harveycmd
    Pat Riley called out Kareem in front on the team before game two of the 1985 NBA Finals after the Lakers lost to the Celtics 148-114 in game one. The Lakers went on to win the series 4-2. Kareem was the oldest Finals MVP at 38.
  24. harveycmd
    Kobe Bryant holds the record for the most combined All-NBA First Team and All-Defensive First Team selections in NBA history with 20.
  25. harveycmd
    You got a bunch of goobers from 19-23 who won't work out against real competition today. Damn pansies.
