- That sounds like a cruel and unusual punishment. Better get a pardon first. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 26, 12:04
Rumblings on Twitter that by accepting a pardon, the sheriff is admitting guilt which can be used against him in civil. Can ST legal dept. comment? -- nm* - Volnelk Aug 26, 11:32 2
- Discussed here. In short, he didn't have to accept the pardon in order to be sued. -- (link) - Mop Aug 26, 12:04 [Backboard]
- And that's he can't take the 5th because he can no longer incriminate himself. He's already admitted he was guilty. -- nm - Volnelk Aug 26, 11:47

I developed my own crazy theory on the Arpaio pardon last night. I thought it was out there until I heard Paul Begala say it last night. So I've got - crash davis Aug 26, 10:12 5

- I don't know where to start with my disgust for that jersey. - Krusty Aug 26, 09:26 29
  - What about Sabathia's cleats. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 26, 09:45 8
    - I never noticed them and that's fine. They don't all wear the same cleats. - Krusty Aug 26, 09:53
    - Related to that, Judge might have gotten some money from Bungie. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 26, 09:48 6
      - Fucking Yankees ruining it all. 😀 -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Aug 26, 11:12
      - If that's true it's terrible. So now they'll be walking billboards with ads everywhere. Soccer made that mistake and now the team names are tiny on - Krusty Aug 26, 09:56 4
        
        It could be that he's a fan and had them made because of that. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 26, 10:05 3
        
        That makes sense and I like the individualized cleats as long as they're not a distraction. -- nm - Krusty Aug 26, 10:10 2
        
        One person did get approval for branded cleats, I think. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 26, 10:12 1
        
        Brands were prohibited as nicknames, but he got approval to put Carl's Jr. on his jersey as it's apparently his nickname. -- nm - Tim Aug 26, 11:23
  - I hear nicknames are a gateway to PED use. - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Aug 26, 09:43 2
    - That's not a fair comparison. I didn't know who was cheating at the time and when I did I certainly didn't buy their jersey. - Krusty Aug 26, 09:50
    - Heh. -- nm - kelly Aug 26, 09:48
  - you won't watch because of a shirt? -- nm - Remlik Aug 26, 09:34 1
    - Correct. I don't want to see them play in those jerseys. They're abominations. -- nm - Krusty Aug 26, 09:39
  - I hear ya its kinds like when the NFL does there throwback unis - eag Aug 26, 09:33 14
    - At least with those they are actual jerseys that the teams wore at one point in their history. Still ugly but I get it. - Krusty Aug 26, 09:44 7
      - Would you be okay with it if it were nicknames on pinstripes? - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 26, 09:51 6
        
        Of course not. That would be even worse. But having them wear different jerseys isn't better, just a different kind of wrong. -- nm - Krusty Aug 26, 10:00 5
        
        So now I know what all of ST can pitch in and buy you that Jersey for Christmas - eag Aug 26, 10:06 4
        
        Does ST like to waste money? ;-) - Krusty Aug 26, 10:26 3
