Still have to find a jury that will convict him. Elsewise you run into a "The only way to preserve the rule of law and the ordinary functioning of justice is drumhead courts-martial, and summary executions" problem.

Tom Brady was never the highest-paid quarterback in the league, because of this kind of salary creep.

He'd have to be convicted first. 12-person jury, unanimous for conviction. Even with expert voir-dire, the odds are very good that there'll be a true believer in any jury you empanel, in any jurisdiction. And even in DC. The city isn't majority black any more -- it's 40-40-20 at this point...

BHA clearly club with highest xF in the league (expected flair....)

Are we still a selling club, then?

Had a quick whip round Twitter... Allow me to summarize: The order of the universe has been restored. Caicedo's free now, free to play for a real football club. There are clubs born booted, and spurred, and ready to ride, and clubs born bitted, saddled, and ready to be ridden. And the latter...

Rarely see that assessment floated for a Babylon Bee piece... House GOP ask. House GOP get.

I'm not sure what, besides bragging rights, is the actual difference to the player between £111 million, and £110 million, in a transfer fee that is paid to the club, not the player. What CFC and LFC can offer in actual pay to the player must be roughly comparable in this kind of situation...

Brighton have no more business refusing to sell Caicedo to Chelsea than Coutts & Co. has refusing to serve Mr. Farage. Chelsea is famous. And important. That used to count for something in this country.

Guy called Erwin Schrödinger being brought in to both replace and not replace him. Saw it on Transfermarkt.

Watching the rest of Real Football-dom reduced to gibbering rage at Brighton's refusal to sell at Real Football-dom's price is not by itself compensation for the inevitable sale, but it's something...

The Baseball Ground I always liked, because I'm a Yank. But then, the tennis venue just outside of Boston proper is the Longwood Cricket Club, and no cricket's been played there in nearly a century.

As a Yank I would only add you have embraced our method of funding tertiary education, and turned your prime minister into a President. May I suggest adopting our excellent system of medical care provision?

A tragedy for all involved, but it looks different from a country where 'more stabbings' would be a dramatic improvement on the status quo.

Nobby for the win! Yank here. Since you've borrowed our funding mechanism for post-secondary education, and started in on doing the same for health care, and having converted the PM into a president, let me suggest our all-American metropolitan-area transport policy for your consideration: One...

Could I be an Adélie penguin? He's got to be nominated first. To a first approximation, the median Democratic voter is a middle-class, suburban woman... and more likely to be black and college-educated than her opposite number. That's not your target market if you're a loonie tl;dr -- You...

Where is Alexis going? In search of proper football, at a real club. Have we not read the newspapers?

Albion's pathetic set-piece performances have been a constant topic on this board for all of the nearly 20 years -- good, bad, and indifferent - I've been on here. It's nice to find a still, unchanging center in this mad, topsy-turvy world.

English football has gone desperately wrong. Something has to be done to restore Chelsea and Spurs to Europe, where they belong. Is there not a Minister of Sport to address such things?

Sorry, old bean. UNC (grad school) old boy here... Duke is puke, and Wake is fake But State is the team we love to hate.
