THE PROGRAM FILM CLUB COMMENCES NEXT WEEK

Am I now the girl you always wanted, Mommy? AM I NOW?
There is a little bit of news this otherwise eventless Friday afternoon. Mike Leach's wrongful lawsuit against Texas Tech was dismissed in Texas, ending just one pointy end of Leach's many pronged-legal trident thrown at his former employer, ESPN, and Craig James. Leach's angry gorilla attorneys will have to find a way around Texas' "sovereign immunity" clause concerning litigation against state entities, and that will be difficult given the nature of any "sovereign" claim in a legal code.
Important note: Texas "sovereign immunity" claim is totally fine with us as long as Texas has an actual king. That king should be Willie Nelson, Bun B, Al Jourgensen. The Vice-Chancellor who secretly runs everything will be Robert Earl Keen. Your choice, Texas.
There's also this: next week, Run Home Jack and ourselves will be hosting an all-too extensive discussion of the classic film The Program. It is not the finest film about college football ever made, but it is our favorite, and the distinction between the two should be made very clear. It is not that we believe the moment that Andrew Bryniarski, playing the trouble Steve Lattimer, runs his head through a car window is the finest acting ever done. It's that we know it is. The Program is the finest movie ever made, and there will be no objections to the contrary.
Please enjoy your weekend, and attack it with the zeal of Alvin Mack reviewing film assignments.
Coach Winters: Alright, this is Mississippi State's offensive set. Second and two on our own 24, what defensive set might we call?
Alvin Mack: Eagle Zipper Hero, unless the setback shifts into the I.
Coach Winters: Good [clicks to next slide]
Coach Winters: , third and seven?
Alvin Mack: Oakie Thunder Lion.
Coach Winters: What's your assignment?
Alvin Mack: Kill the quarterback.
Coach Winters: [clicks to next slide]
Alvin Mack: Hit the tight end so hard his girlfriend dies.
Coach Winters: [clicks to next slide]
Alvin Mack: Kill everybody.
Kill everybody. Have a good weekend. And by all means, earn that place at the table.

"Less complaining. More sexy rumpus" ~ The Oatmeal
Welp, looks like I need to shuffle my Netflix queue to get The Program to the top
Scientists say the universe is made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. They forgot about morons.
Do I understand this right?
I’m no lawyer but the Leach thing seems crazy to me. Texas can breach any contract they want with no possible recourse? Also wouldn’t Leach have a due process right to the job since it was a state job?
I don't know Texas' variant of the law
but I know my state’s very well (we represent government clients). If Texas’s is like most states’, it’s probably a mess. Ours in Kentucky is a disaster, because sovereign immunity is, outside of a few limited contexts, bullshit.
I haven’t seen enough of the pleadings to know for sure, but Leach’s suit, if here, would probably have been dismissed to the extent he sued officials in their capacity as those officials, but not dismissed to the extent he sued them as individuals. Meaning the defamation stuff would probably go through, but the breach of contract stuff would probably not.
Sposed to be SEC
Waive and waive
Yes, it’s crazy, but every state has it as does the federal government. In Texas, the state has to waive (by statue) both immunity to suit and immunity to liability for you to succeed on a lawsuit against the state, and that’s where this part of Leach’s lawsuit came unraveled. (BTW, those waivers kind of sound like the same thing, right? No, they aren’t but don’t ask me why. There really isn’t a good reason, other than “Yes, you may sue us, but no, you may not collect money.” Which is a great position to be in if you can arrange it.).
In Texas, the individual/official distinction doesn’t matter, because if you sue an individual who could be sued as an official, but don’t ever change your pleadings to sue in the person’s official capacity, your suit is dismissed with prejudice. Ok, that does matter, but it doesn’t matter to the extent that you can carry on two different lawsuits based on the same action by the same person. The person is either an individual or an official, not both.
Looking forward to the revelation of Jordan Jefferson's Wonderlich "score"
Does the suit/liability distinction
allow injunctive relief if the state waives immunity to suit, but not immunity to liability? That’s the only way I can see it making sense.

Nope
It doesn’t make sense beyond a moral victory. Yes, we can be sued, but no (LOL), you can’t recover. Or conversely, Yes you should be able to recover for our wrongdoing, but no, you can’t sue us.
Lesson: It’s good to be the king.
Looking forward to the revelation of Jordan Jefferson's Wonderlich "score"
Interesting
In Kentucky there’d be 2 suits which would get joinder’d. There are some cases out there where an official acts in his capacity as an official up to a certain point, then “crosses the line” and is only acting as an individual. That same conceptual thing is also real prevalent in vicarious liability here.
Sposed to be SEC
In Texas it's an either/or thing
In the past, there was a distinction and a lawsuit could play out as you described. But now the person sued is either acting in an individual capacity or in an official capacity, and your pleadings better be right or you’ll get shown the door.
Looking forward to the revelation of Jordan Jefferson's Wonderlich "score"
I don't understand why dismissal is with prejudice
That seems to defeat our entire purpose in moving toward notice pleading. If it’s a close call and the attorney guesses wrong, that’s manifestly unfair for the plaintiff.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I'm just a caveman.
I fell on some ice and later got thawed out by some of your scientists. Your world frightens and confuses me! Sometimes the honking horns of your traffic make me want to get out of my BMW.. and run off into the hills, or wherever.. Sometimes when I get a message on my fax machine, I wonder: “Did little demons get inside and type it?” I don’t know! My primitive mind can’t grasp these concepts. But there is one thing I do know – when a man like my client slips and falls on a sidewalk in front of a public library, then he is entitled to no less than two million in compensatory damages, and two million in punitive damages. Thank you.

There's a lot of things I love about The Program
one of which is that I think my family rented it from Phar-Mor
But do you guys have the copy where the players lay down in the middle of the road?
I only have this movie on recorded VHS and it definitely does not have that crucial scene
on the west coast our football is WAC
IMDB trivia
“The original release of the film contained a scene where several ESU players lay on the yellow dividing line of a busy local road as a test of their courage. When two young men were killed, and several others injured, by imitating the stunt, Buena Vista excised the scene from the film. No post-theatrical versions of the movie feature the sequence, leading many to speculate that the studio destroyed the actual camera negatives of the scene.”

1. Created multiple accounts to rec himself and got caught by Holly
2. Posted large and inappropriate images
The “5000×5000 suit of armor” and “35% nipple” memes originate from images he posted.
And also rooted for Miami for some reason.
I can’t fathom rooting for one ACC team, let alone three.
So is The Assman 1 the latest incarnation of jc001 then?

I don't see why that's a problem
It wasn’t meant to be a depiction of any specific school (and whoaaa boy do the legal fees go up if they do use a school). And the identity of a specific school didn’t have any bearing on the plot. In fact, to the extent the movie criticized the universal problems with college football, it helped reinforce that theme (along with the most generic name and uniforms they could come up with).

You never asked.
I keep a sixer on hand, but it usually takes me about 6 weeks to finish. Lazy Mag is a local brewery (close enough) so I give them some love, but I’m not a big pecan fan so Indian Summer usually gets my cash. If you like porters, their sweet potato stout is ok. Again, I don’t like sweet potatoes, so I don’t go for it. Then there’s the dark porter that I so very much want to love, but can’t stand because it’s a ginger porter, and the two flavors just don’t play well to me. I want to like their brews because they’re local (close enough) and right now Mississippi’s only brewery, but they always manage to pick one ingredient I don’t care for.

Nashville traded Blake Geoffrion and other prospects to the Canadiens for Hal Gill
I love Geoffrion, he was my favorite Wisconsin player of recent memory, but Montreal’s obsession with “keeping it in the family” is ridiculous. They could have gotten a lot more for Gill, but because Geoffrion’s dad played for Montreal, he’s the centerpiece of the trade.
Although, I guess it is cool to say you have the grandson of the guy that invented the slap shot on your team.

Cock-blocking Chicago, who, along with Philly, were considered the teams most likely to get Gill

Just got back from Michigan hockey game. Hope the referees made it to their cars alive. It wasn’t looking good there at the end.

Mmhmm. I really have no eye for hockey penalties, so I couldn’t tell either way. But most of my compatriots were looking for blood.
I wasn't paying especially close attention to the end
but the two early calls where Hunwick got run over and Michigan got a penalty both looked legit to me, especially the first one (blatant cross-check sent the guy right into Hunwick). I can see how that would be hard to catch at full speed, though.

Not really
This month, Rolling Stone published a very well written, albeit statistically misguided piece on Anoka-Hennepin school district in Minnesota where there has been a rash of teenage suicides (9 in two years). And the thrust of piece is very spidery.
Let’s just say I’ve spent the last hour or so arguing with two people on opposite sides of the issue. Both of which are so clouded by their stupidity that they somehow both think I agree with the other side.

It is a very well-done story, but there is absolutely no way that a pleasant conversation can result from it.
A Michigan Man may only marvel at the sea of maize and blue on Saturdays, or the face of the Lord himself. Impress the world, but be not impressed by it.
Here's a rough timeline of events
Stempke gets asked his opinion of said article. Stempke points out that 4 out of 9 is actually a minority of the tragedies and that the article minimizes the pain of the other 5 families. Stempke is labeled a bigot. Meanwhile second moron starts complaining about the “wussification of America.” Stempke points out that insensitivity of this position. Stempke is labeled “bleeding heart, everybody gets a trophy, liberal”
So I re-iterate. I’m done talking to people.

I don't know if I'd give up on people entirely, but you'd be entirely justified in excommunicating those two.

You ever read Ian McEwan's "Saturday?"
A certain spidery event figures prominently in the narrative, and the central character finds himself arguing with people on either side of the issue in various scenes throughout the book. He experiences a similar level of frustration that you did.

Ian McEwan? as in the guy that wrote Atonement?
I refuse to believe he’s capable of writing with nuance, because that would mean that Atonement was intentionally terrible

Yep.
Not my favorite place in the state, but not the worst. You’ll be about just over an hour from Mamou, LA which is a tiny Cajun town that has very interesting traditions with regard to Mardi Gras; completely unlike the rest of the state. I highly recommend visiting while you’re near. It’s a cultural exposition you’ll never see on TV. Plus, New Orleans isn’t that far away, and there’s a lot worth seeing/doing here.

Yeah, we're figuring we'll hit NO or Houston once a monthish, depending.
We’ve got friends in Houston, and well, NO is NO. Good tip about Mamou, we’ll check that out too. This is going to be more “foreign” to us than Japan, so we’re at least trying to look at it that way, as an experience to go do, rather than negatively.

But being where you will be, you’ll have access to a bunch of places with excellent food options. Plan on keeping that treadmill in the bedroom. The wife and I can get you around NOLA like pros. There’s so much to see and do here both with and without children, I’ll get a list started closer to when you make the move.

I've just had a problem with him
since he took over the old Sportslook from Roy Firestone and ruined it with completely wooden interviews.
Then FOX hired him and stuck him on their evening drive radio slot, and that show was horrible (although not as horrible as Loose Cannons, which for god’s sake Pat O’Brien WHY?).
But I certainly don’t wish HIM any ill, as a person, and this is just awful.

Certainly, I don't wish him ill as a person either.
And it is awful.
The problem I have with Chris Myers is that he seems to have learned nothing over the past 11 years. In fact, he may even be worse now than he was in 2001.
Of course, most of the NASCAR on Fox team has gotten bad (or at least had the life beaten out of them by bad producing, Mike Joy.) Waltrip is a caricature of what was already an intolerable television persona, so of course they’re going to double down this year by adding the Frank Stallone of NASCAR, Michael Waltrip. Larry Mac, as I said earlier, has had his brain reduced to tapioca by being forced to sit next to “Ol’ DW” for a decade. Joy and Berggren are doing their best with what they have, but it’s a struggle.
I’m so looking forward to tight two- and three-shots instead of showing the entire field and not covering anyone outside the top 15 except DANICA!

I imagine coming back to the track might be quite difficult after something like that.
I’ve never had an issue with his work (though I’ve admittedly watched less frequently the past few seasons), but I hope he takes whatever time he needs to make a full emotional recovery; seeing a crash up close is bound to bring up some painful memories.

Maybe I’ll read Rittenberg’s Big Ten blog and/or WolverineNation during football season. But the WWL’s content has gone downhill a great deal.

Do you find Rittenberg interesting?
I’ve never found much of what he’s written to be particuarly useful. I’m sure a lot of that is WWL’s constraints, but still…
I don't know that there's anything that's uniquely good about him.
But I do like that there’s someone whose job is entirely to cover the Big Ten without being associated with any one team or locale. It happens that that person is Rittenberg at ESPN. If Yahoo employed a dedicated Big Ten reporter who posted daily, I might well read that instead.

Oops.
It’s not even about content.
It’s about the fact that ESPN actually controls, indirectly but inescapably, who gets voted where in the polls by driving the narratives they desire. Voters are busy WORKING on Saturday. They get all the information they’re going to get on Gamenight from Rece, Coathchth, and the Blind Oracle, and if they don’t show highlights of one team, or they spend way too much time talking about another, that inherently impacts voter perceptions.

The biggest problem is that, deep down, they know they can do whatever the fuck they want because there’s no escaping them. Unless they manage to actually kill off the sports they carry in the process (or sabotage them to the extent that nobody cares anymore), you’re pretty much stuck.

yup, they have a degree of immunity, because at the end of the day they hold the power
regardless or what they do/who they employ they can ultimately skate by on the popularity of the sports they have.

Oh, well that almost makes TOO much sense
But that’s nice to have the help, and to do it gladly. My mom had to endure endless passive aggressive sniping from her dad because we wouldnt let him move in with us when he needed more extensive care. (3 kids, she worked part time, he couldnt walk up and down stairs well, and we have a very vertical house which, additionally, had 3 bedrooms for 5 people and was cramped enough as it was. But that’s what he did with his mother in law, so my mom was a bad daughter for not taking him in. so she’d go over every other day and take care of him and…tl;dr)
ohhhhh this sounds like my family right now...except replace with my mom's mom

And the worst part?
One of her brothers (who are now kind of off the deep end) would continually make the offer to let him move in with his family…in Pennsylvania, knowing full well my 90-something grandfather wouldnt move out. And then she had to endure the OTHER brother constantly harassing her about the will after he passed away. And that’s basically how we got to the point where she quietly said to our family “this is the last time the three of us will ever be together, barring an unexpected death.”
thats, thats really sad actually
I only have one aunt/uncle and 2 cousins and I can’t stand them, but it would be awful to hate my brothers too.

Youngest.
Her brothers were always the stars of the show (2nd in class at the Naval Academy, class president, etc etc) she was younger and had to deal with my grandma’s passive aggressive bullshit cause she was the only girl. Ended up having to take care of them when they were older, was never really acknowledged for it by her brothers…and then after my grandpa passed away, one of my aunts was great, the other was really really…not. One brother started giving her a hard time about the will, and the other one said some really really stupid stuff to my dad. And that’s how we end up here. My Dad’s family, however, is awesome and wonderful and strong. (As evinced by how much everyone came together around my uncle when he was diagnosed with the big C)
ah you're lucky
my dad is estranged from his brother due to the passing of their parents.
mom’s family (momma is eldest has 2 younger brothers). Momma is guilt tripped for things etc. youngest brother has sought to take care of momma’s momma. Momma and I have basically given up on expecting positive things out of grandmother due to my uncle giving in to every whim. We are the most passive aggressive family ever

Yes. Wife and I said the exact same thing when we saw the shirtless passed out guy in front of a watering hole. Neither of us batted an eye when we saw people stepping over him to go into the bar at 10am. The other folks not so used to such sights were amazed.

Did not like upper Duval St. Mallory Square at sunset was like all the carnies in world had gathered there. Watched a special needs kid in near-panic mode having his picture taken with his dad by his mom because of all the weirdness going on around him.
I’m not interested in the shirtless passed-out crowd much any more. I like my drinking genteel, preferably with live music and dancing, but not spring break/Mardi Gras nuts.
Mrs. with a beer and I did sit a spell on the front porch of a Key Lime pie’n’coffee emporium and watch the gay crowd. Most outre thing we saw were two guys totally dressed alike, down to the lavender ascots they wore like scarves. I’d prefer hanging out with the gay crowd over the Conch Nation hillbillies up the street. Much more dignified.
