I defended two things about Rio, and every other Olympics....

- they are far safer than anyone believed they would be
- the facilities would be completed in time

Can't wait until South Korea, when those same two exact bullet points will be used for fear mongering purposes.

^ Our old friend PlayBall06 has been and still is all over this topic (Olympics Sham) for the HuffPost

It's really disturbing.

And he's dead on. It's a total house of cards. He's also all over a similar topic in the US -- public financing for professional stadiums. Just a complete debacle from beginning to end, financially speaking.

Same can be said for Athens, too.

The Athens airport is awesome, so they at least got that out of the deal.

Our Taxi driver took us by the Olympic Village, and it looked like a nuclear wasteland. #no73

- That Up-and-Vanished dude got every last drop out of that podcast. Probably about 20 episodes too long. Also loved his constant "quest to find the truth." No, you copycatted Serial in a quest to find a career dbag.

He also spent an obnoxious amount of time talking about himself and how everything affected him. That's fine, I guess, but seems like there was a five-minute span each episode where every sentence started with the word "I." I have no desire to hear him go on about how he's forever changed and all of these people are now his besties forever, blah, blah, blah.

That Amber Alert just scare the **** out of anyone else? That noise they use for those & weather emergencies is one disturbing sound, which I suppose was the intention.

Well done.

Wish I still had that pic of him and his lassie from Aldean/Bryan at Riverbend back in the day. She was slooted up, nice little tail from what I remember.

Always catches everyone by surprise when you have a bar full of people and everyone's phone goes off at the same time. Lots of the Silver Alerts down around these parts too.
Yeah right, a loud bar full of drunk people vs Amber Alert tones - BIG DEAL.

Try sitting in a nice quiet conference room to simply discuss the trade-offs of corrosion inhibitor admixtures with mild-mannered professionals when that sumbitch goes off. Hint: IT'S WAY MORE JARRING IN THAT CONTEXT.

You know nothing of life.

I hate what passes for "journalism" these days. So Robert Mims, new U of L Foundation CFO, was arrested for theft over $10K from the Cardinal Club "after inquiring about a membership."

KSR, citing the sheriff, has a story but there aren't sufficient details from either of them.

The stories imply he heisted a membership, but how would / could he do that? If it he stole merchandise over $10K, how tf would / could he do that, and what would that include? 2 golf carts and 3 sets of clubs? Doubtful - How did he fit those in his car?

Everyone rushes to break a story but instead, how about stfu and get the facts first. o_O:mad:
