It has been reported that University of Michigan has retained the services of "White Shoe" Law firm Williams and Connelly to contest whatever the hell is happening with this attempt by Ohio State to disrupt the U-M football team.

Reminded of the Norm Macdonald joke about Bill Cosby (whom Norm truly adored), [paraphrasing] "people say the worst thing was the hypocrisy and I just can't get past all the rapes."

I wonder where the divide lines up.

Very true about Washington, DC on a random night out with the wife.

This would be fantastic. Nuclear war is bad for my retirement planning. https://www.barrons.com/news/china-ready-to-improve-ties-with-us-at-all-levels-vp-1a5ae0c5

Oh, cool

Reading in the freep this morning that some towns voted against pot dispensaries in Metro Detroit. I can see that. Its like having a strip club next door. Michigan was definitely the wild west when I was last there. The entire town of Monroe as I drove through it because of a detour on I-75 smelled like a skunk tannery because apparently as the first big town as you arrive in the state is just chock full of them. Also, there were ads on my gas pump's intrusive advertising screen telling me how wonderful it was to go to a particular dispensary. Its amusing but also shocking to see how that issue has developed. Its legal. If that's what you are into...knock yourself out. But, i definitely get how a nice neighborhood wouldn't want all that in their midst.

This is why its good not to swallow media-driven narratives. I think people have some awareness that the kleptocrats are trying to ride the coattails of the theocrats.

ESPN really shameless in all this.

Please keep pointing at this thing that Corum denies and indicates fraud by Stalions.

The rogue staffer narrative is bolstered by the prospect that Stalions committed fraud with Blake Corum's ID.

Stalions was using Blake Corum's ID for his side hustle? That needs to be sniffed out.

Its looking pretty good in my random scan of stuff.

oh, interesting… it hasn’t slowed the flow of idiotic hot takes to my social media.

The key is they are incentivized to do the unethical in the event that a category destroying force emerges that threatens their jobs.

Most interesting detail from this Balas piece https://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/latest-updates-balas so that's a summary of the paywalled thing...however I'll provide this one nugget

I don't think the B1G are in the careful and thoughtful evaluation stage ccdc1590-0c7b-41b8-b3dd-9f2b9b9ba1f4.mp4

This is an interesting extra detail

Sam Webb on his show with Al Borges is basically saying that if the B1G is a business partnership and if your business partners try to screw you, you should leave the partnership.

and SI has published the purloined calls for Michigan

It would be kleptocracy and theocracy in the service of the Anti-Christ Trump.

I noted a lot more traffic at my poll this morning. I dunno if it means anything. Didn't take me long.

apparently the documentation has been provided
