That substance? Tail.

That substance? Tail.

Exactly. I'm reading this as a defense to sexual harassment claim, or a settlement of one.

 

[superjohn]

That substance? Tail.

Without a doubt.

Too late to blame the ACC taking Cuse, Pitt, and Louisville on Skipper's blow habit?

Well, this should explain how L'ville got in. Brought Skipper in for a weekend of blow and hookers. Ricky P might have even let Skipper be the caboose at the Italian restaurant.

Did @zls44 make the short list? We may get in the ACC yet gentlemen!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm grasshopper. There is much more to come. Guys like this don't voluntarily give up power.

They are way behind you on the hoop thread regarding this. Kudos, and LOL.

What’s not to like about a good conspiracy theory: James Andrew Miller: Inside an ESPN President's Shocking Exit (and Bob Iger's Possible Role)

He’s the man responsible for putting Michael Smith and Jemelle Hill on Sportscenter. That’s a firable offense with cause. It’s one of the worst things I’ve ever seen on TV. I’d rather watch Joel Osteen preach to me for a half hour than watch that garbage.

Different strokes, I guess. I think the show is pretty good, much better than the show it replaced. Joel Osteen is unwatchable and a bad guy, to boot.

Different strokes indeed. You are literally the first person I’ve heard that likes that show. Agree with you on Osteen. I used that example to make a point.

Although truth be told, that's the best evidence I've heard that he's probably on drugs.

I’ve only watched it 3-4 times but it’s the worst show I’ve ever seen.

I've never watched it. Is it a worse ESPN show than "Cold Pizza"???

Yes. It’s worse than Dr Oz.
