Not a real surprise from what I had read previously, but an arbitrator founds the NDA Omarosa was under as basically unenforceable -- (link) - ty97 Sep 28, 06:18 6
- Can we enforce it anyway for the good of the country? -- nm - spamlet Sep 28, 06:28 4
  - Let all the former admin people scream into the wind about each other, it's all just noise for me to ignore. -- nm - ty97 Sep 28, 06:34 3

Why is it that Kyrie can't play in Brooklyn because of the vaccine mandate but visiting players that aren't vaccinated can play? Tourists can't - Krusty Sep 28, 06:05 15
- Because professional athletes area drama queens and people love enabling them. -- nm - mafic Sep 28, 06:46
- idk. But I DO know that Kyrie will find a way to fuck your team. Don't trust in him. - Diva Sep 28, 06:21 1
  - I don't get it either and I certainly don't trust that man to lead us to the title. He might but I have no faith in him to do the right thing - Krusty Sep 28, 06:32
- I’m wondering if it’s a legal thing that they can’t mandate for non-residents for their job. -- nm - spamlet Sep 28, 06:10 3
  - For some ridiculous reason, money, there's an exemption for out of town players. WTF?!? This is not how mandates should work and not good for the - Krusty Sep 28, 06:18 2
    - Nah, there are different legal standards when you are keeping people from working vs leisure activities. - spamlet Sep 28, 06:23 1
      - I would love to hear what the legal grounds are for having to include this exemption. And the NBAPA can go F themselves for not mandating the players - Krusty Sep 28, 06:33
- The NBAPA fought against a vaccination mandate. Idiocy. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 28, 06:07 2
  - yup, they can all get fucked -- nm - Beaker Sep 28, 06:35
  - I have so much anger building up with so many people and groups over this. -- nm - Krusty Sep 28, 06:09
- So Wiggins can't play in SF but he can play in Brooklyn despite both cities having a vaccination mandate. Makes no f'ing sense -- nm - Krusty Sep 28, 06:06 4
  - Kyrie can take more time off to ponder his place in the wide wide flat world. Maybe he can take up pot to at least be this ponderous. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 28, 06:08 3
    - I said this yesterday to someone, he's supremely talented and makes the teams he's on much better. But I don't think it's worth the massive headache -- (edited) - Krusty Sep 28, 06:13 2
      - The thing that kills me is how stupid he is while trying to seem wise. How many WNBA players stepped away to fight for causes? - Will Hunting Sep 28, 06:32 1
        
        It's infuriating. More so knowing he can reach out to so many experts in so many fields but he gets his advice and info from shady people and sources -- nm - Krusty Sep 28, 06:52
In the ST Pick 'Em league, what does the stat dropped mean? On the main page it shows rank, pick set name, total, dropped and W-L. - Krusty Sep 28, 05:53 6
- It drops the worst week. I forgot to set a Sunday afternoon slate last week so that’s why mine is weird. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 28, 06:06 1
  - And Spawn was late to the party missing week 1; hence the zippo. -- nm - VMan Sep 28, 06:20
- Does it drop the worst week someone has? -- nm - Krusty Sep 28, 05:58 3
  - I think that's it. Look at the weekly performance page -- nm - oblique Sep 28, 06:02 2
    - That's how I read things. -- nm - VMan Sep 28, 06:04 1
      - Okay. I did't realize that was a thing. -- nm - Krusty Sep 28, 06:07
If you want to kill someone just run them over with your car. Yet again someone gets killed by a driver and the driver walks away with no charges. -- (link) - Krusty Sep 28, 05:34 3
- Is this one of those criminal vs. civil things? It is possible to have an accident where someone dies where you aren't charged with a crime... -- nm - oblique Sep 28, 06:46 2
  - Also, it's not an accident. It's a crash. It could have been avoided if the driver was in control of their vehicle. -- (edited) - Krusty Sep 28, 07:00
  - He's not being charge with any crimes despite the police saying he was distracted while driving and when he hit the guy. He hit someone with his car - Krusty Sep 28, 06:56
