NCAA claims collegiate athletes can't be paid as their broadcasts are "First Amendment-protected news programs" -- LINK - Beaker Jan 16, 13:27 8
- Is it just me who thinks this, or does the NCAA have a fair bit of egg on their faces lately? - Amanda Jan 16, 13:59
- So logically I out to be able to broadcast the games myself as a first amendment news program, right? -- nm - Ender Jan 16, 13:37

Puzzle this out for me ST (especially the ST lawyers) - Inigo Jan 16, 13:04 32
- person b tried to pull a fast one on the bank and is embarrassed about it in front of a and is sticking to the story that the bank still owes a - loyola Jan 16, 13:25 6
  - no. knowing person B, she just has no clue how the world actually works. I think it's innocent. - peggy ann mcamanda, 778 Jan 16, 13:33 2
    - Update: She's now claiming she told the bank to unlink the overdraft protection. - Inigo Jan 16, 13:40 1
      - I think she just assumed that the bank would read her mind. No malice. I'm walking home with Jonathan in ten. I'll ask him what he thinks. -- nm - Amanda Jan 16, 13:57
  - this - OAE -- Antarctica, Old Explorer Jan 16, 13:28
  - and of course, there's a chance the fast one was suggested by person c - Beryllium Jan 16, 13:27
  - um reverse the last a and b into different positions lol -- nm - loyola Jan 16, 13:26
- [deleted] 6
  - Nah. - Inigo Jan 16, 13:22 5
    - A bank is *never* going to take an extra step and cancel something they were not asked to cancel, nor should they. - Spawn Jan 16, 13:24 4
      - this -- nm - Beaker Jan 16, 13:25 3
        
        cause then they would get sued for doing what wasn't asked of them -- nm - Beaker Jan 16, 13:25 2
        
        Right. But it's certainly on their shoulders to surface information like this ... -- nm - Beryllium Jan 16, 13:26 1
        
        Yes and no. -- nm - Spawn Jan 16, 13:31
- Person B is a little insane. -- nm - Spawn Jan 16, 13:15
- I don't see how the bank is obligated to do anything. They were honoring the overdraft agreement. -- nm - mara Jan 16, 13:10 3
  - I'm gonna guess that person B's claim is that since there was two account that were joint that became separate at the request of person A and B... - Inigo Jan 16, 13:14 2
    - A. can you have overdraft protection with an account you are not directly linked to, like to a friend? b. banks linking is really spotty, IE:... - zeitgeist Jan 16, 13:20 1
      - to finish the point, the savings account was specifically links to the checking, in fact I was required to have a savings to get the checking - zeitgeist Jan 16, 13:22

- highway robbery -- nm - budice Jan 16, 13:10
- I'm confused why person B thinks they're still owed money. - znufrii Jan 16, 13:08 5
  - I think it's a "they done me wrong!" claim. If Person B wants to go after the bank for a mistake, then go to court. -- nm - Inigo Jan 16, 13:10 4
    - but where's the injury if B has already been made whole? that's what I'm not seeing. - znufrii Jan 16, 13:15 3

        Not good enough. I demand free money for that time period! -- nm - Person B Jan 16, 13:33
- person B is crazy -- nm - decline Jan 16, 13:07
- if the bank wasn't notified to change that, how could they know? Person B got their money. The End. -- nm - Andie Jan 16, 13:07 1
  - This (and the crazy) sound right to me. It seems unethical to ask to get paid twice for one cock-up. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 16, 13:08
- Well, technically...the back should pull the money from Person A, give it to Person B and then Person B should return the money Person A gave them as - Jim Jan 16, 13:07 1
  - bank...not back -- nm - Jim Jan 16, 13:07

        BIL trap? -- nm - Spawn Jan 16, 13:33 1
        
        I assume my 12 year old shoveled and just left the thing laying in the yard. - groiny Jan 16, 13:34
    - Vets like that are precious -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 16, 13:27
    - right, and there is no way to know that even if you did, that it would change the end result. - groiny Jan 16, 13:23
    - We probably spent $10-$15k on Billy. The first prognosis was still the correct one. -- nm - David Jan 16, 13:22
- I'm sorry you guys. :-( -- nm - MDH Jan 16, 13:16
- So so sorry. I definitely know how hard it is to go through this. - Kim Pine Jan 16, 13:15
- reading Rainbow Bridge might help you feel better about it. -- nm - zork Jan 16, 13:14
- I'm so sorry to read this. :-( -- nm - Krusty Jan 16, 13:12
- Im so sorry nm - Jovian Jan 16, 13:08
- *hug* -- nm - Beryllium Jan 16, 13:07
- Really, really sorry to hear this. -- nm - prayformojo Jan 16, 13:07

- That's so rough, kelly. I'll be thinking of your whole family. -- nm - Inigo Jan 16, 13:06

PFM needs to open the box -- (link) - zork Jan 16, 12:59
I think we need a better format for our "will they ever?" game. there were too many in that thread. let's go by ones. zac efron: will he ver be nommed - peggy ann mcamanda, 778 Jan 16, 12:57 12
- He is rarely even on my radar... which makes me think he has no interested in being in Oscar bait movies to begin with -- nm - con_carne Jan 16, 13:09
- If you notice...no Disney stars are nominated these days -- nm - budice Jan 16, 13:08
- I like Andie's answer - he has to pull it together. I think the potential is there. can he get past his youth and fame? -- nm - Epiphany Jan 16, 13:04 1
  - his first step is to get cast in award worthy roles -- nm - Jovian Jan 16, 13:06
- i feel like every question can be answered "if Jonah Hill can get nominated twice, so can (anyone on the planet)" -- nm - Andie Jan 16, 13:01 2
  - hill was nommed for moneyball, right? I *love* that movie (testify, mel) and feel like he much more deserved to win there than here. here - peggy ann mcamanda, 778 Jan 16, 13:03 1
    - i haven't seen Wolf yet (i am so behind.) -- nm - Andie Jan 16, 13:05
- He's fallen in with the Apatow crowd, so... - Kim Pine Jan 16, 13:00
- I actually need to see him act before I can answer this. -- nm - ty97 Jan 16, 12:59 1
  - see: Seventeen Again - you will thank me. Charlie St. Cloud is a bit on the melodramatic scale but not Nicolas Sparks stupid - Epiphany Jan 16, 13:05
- i say 'yes, possibly." to nomination, but not for 10 years. -- nm - Andie Jan 16, 12:58
- no -- nm - Spawn Jan 16, 12:57
It's disturbing that I knew about the swiss cheese guy in Philly before today -- nm - ty97 Jan 16, 12:54 2
- must've been Jarlsberg. -- nm - Diva Jan 16, 12:58
- why wasn't he using Philly cream cheese? - zork Jan 16, 12:57
Damon is a better actor than DiCaprio, but Leo was far better than Matt in The Departed. -- nm - Inigo Jan 16, 12:53 10
- I would have bet my life that after Gilbert Grape, he would have won several Oscars in the upcoming years. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 16, 13:29
- should I rewatch this? I didn't like it the first time. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda, 778 Jan 16, 12:54 8
  - I like it a lot, but see it as action movie moreso then high-brow Scorcese art. -- nm - Inigo Jan 16, 13:06 1
    - your line was supposed to be "mary, you are way too far behind on TV to even think about movies!!" I should have said that up front; sorry. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda, 778 Jan 16, 13:08
  - I really liked the desperate feel of it - and Damon had some great dialog, Walberg is stellar in this - Epiphany Jan 16, 13:02
  - It's decent, but low-rent Scorsese overall. Lousy third act. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 16, 12:58
  - nah -- nm - decline Jan 16, 12:57
  - i was pretty bored. -- nm - Andie Jan 16, 12:56
  - I saw it once. Thought it was highly overrated. -- nm - Shaun Jan 16, 12:54 1
    - this, despite the soundtrack. -- nm - spamlet Jan 16, 13:14
