Only question I
ever thought was hard
was do I like Kirk
or do I like Picard?

I'm watching this on a delay I guess?

It seems like you're completely right in disliking Haslam but in a vacuum this move seems to be the right one to make to me :shrug:

It's just more of a trainwreck than before. Like this question about "one of the more dysfunctional sports franchises out there"

She could of have been so much more but the writers just didn't care!

It's an investigation by the FBI and it's taking as long as many federal investigations take. A past court filing has sources claiming Haslam was in meetings where "rebate adjustments" aka fraud were openly discussed

If you think Haslam is going to end up in jail or suffering any real personal consequence because of the Flying J situation you haven't been paying attention to what's been going on in this country.

Wrong connection. Manning has an inside track to Haslam.

Haslam is a big Vols booster. His brother is also the Governor of Tennessee.

No, I mean why would Manning have anything to say about Banner other than what he's heard. Manning doesn't appear to have ever worked with Banner before.

:lol: there are two team-specific threads in SAS and they are both about the Browns unceremoniously firing someone who has been with the team less than 24 months.

Another tweet: Haslan's hired 4 guys to run his two properties the last two years and fired all of them.

I believe the term is Blue Chip. And somehow it is a category that includes Brian Hoyer. Or really anyone who happens to have hung out with Tom Brady for an extended period.

Of all the poo poo in this decision I agree with Haslam on this. Ray's already been working for us so that's not really an issue.



On the other hand he's so full of poo poo about the "opportunity here in Cleveland" what a loving rear end in a top hat.
