(no this is not a judicial convention)
Three football games for our consideration today.
Green Bay goes to Detroit where the home town Lions are getting 3.5. The over/under is between 48.5 and 47.
The resurgent NY Jets go to Dallas where they play the suddenly mighty Cowboys. The boys are giving up 13.5 and the over/under is 47.5
The Colts roll into Atlanta where the low flying Falcons cannot wait until this season is over. Their QB is in jail, and with him their hopes of the playoffs and beyond. No pun, but this has been a dog of a season for the Falcons. (Ok. Bad pun.) The Colts are 13 point favorites and the over under is 41. Avoid the line here and take the over.
Detroit is a dangerous team today. They are playing their second game at home after losing to the NY Giants last week. In many ways, the Lions season is on the line today. Wanna have some fun? Eschew (“avoid, or shun” for you robed readers) the points and take the money line: lay 100 to win about 155. Green Bay has nothing at stake here while the Lions have everything to lose. Nervous about not getting any points? Then take the home dog- you’ll never go broke taking a home dog in the NFL. We also like the over 48.
J…E…T…S….can’t do it twice in a row. With a bye week, they had two weeks to prepare to shock the Steelers last week, who turned in perhaps their worst effort of the season. But now the Jets have a short week to prepare for the Cowboys who are riding high. Washington gave the boys about the best competition these cowpokes are likely to see until they meet up with the Packers in the NFC championship game in January 08. Take the pokes, leave the gravy and the Jets.
Enjoy your holiday and remember today is about giving thanks. As young American men and women are on battlefields overseas, please take a minute to remember the sacrifice they are making so that we may give thanks in peace with our families today.
Rump,
ReplyDeleteYou are wrong. That IS a three judge panel of the circuit court in and form the 11th judicial circuit.
*That my be an insult to the turkeys.
I was in Beth Bloom's court this week and only one of the hot PD's is still there but, the replacement is hot too.
ReplyDeleteThe new prosecutors there are about as dumb nd a convention of county court judges and Beth super speed demon Bloom was off her ADD meds and was going at 10000 miles per hour.
Dude, where is everybody? The courthouse is like empty. Hey come on already.
ReplyDeleteMust disagree- the ASA's in Bloom are very fair, nice, and hardworking. And yes she still has the hottest PD's- but there were five sexy ASA's lighting up Newman's courtroom the other day. He has a virtual harem in there.

ReplyDeleteYou got major coverage by your favorite federal blogger (a compliment), but no mention by you of his post yesterday about Judge Jordan's 24 page order . This does have an REG connection for next week. Did you already eat too much turkey or just dipping into the sherry early?
Macy's parade had Menudo performing, does our candidate for clerk own that group or something?
ReplyDeletealthough i respect the job our troops are doing dont forget that they volunteered to enter the service mainly because they have no skills to market in the private sector.
ReplyDeleteTHE CAPTAIN REPORTS:
ReplyDeleteNovember 22, 1963, Friday, 1:30 EST , Dallas ... it was 44 years ago today that our 35th President, John F. Kennedy, was assassinated.
November 2007 .... The IRAQ war has claimed the lives of over 3,900 American soldiers and another 28,500 has been wounded in action.
CAPTAIN OUT .....
12:54, most of the enlistees are fresh out of high school. What kind of marketable job skills did you have at 18? That isn't an attack, it's an honest question. A large number of soldiers who chose to enlist did so as a means of paying for college and obtaining marketable skills. Such resourcefulness and determination is also worthy of respect.
ReplyDeleteToday is a day our government has chosen that we should give thanks for what is given. What about tomorrow??? We live in a ruthless, non forgiving, and selfish society. I ask you lawyers and judges that tomorrow remember today.
ReplyDeleteWell said indeed 2:18. Well said.
ReplyDeleteSouth Miami Police investigating disturbance at the new Whole Foods Market yesterday involving a lawyer and an old lady "tusseling over the last fresh turkey in the display case."
ReplyDeleteMore details as they become available.

Interesting dillemma on the other Broward blog about a cluster that happened in Dade. Gobble Gobble.

On this day, I give thanks for Rump's football picks. 3-0 today.
ReplyDeleteRump, you have earned the weekend off. No more picks required this week.
I thought the tussle was over the last bapka?
ReplyDeleteRumpole Running No B.S. Real Video of Rumpole Running.

I must admit- I checked the link out. And indeed there is a video of Rumpole running. However, it is of poor quality so I have decided to let it stay up.
ReplyDeleteTo my football fan- I went 3-1 as I liked the Lions to win or the Pack not to cover. Oh well.
9:11 PM- very interesting post indeed on the "other" Broward Blog- the Broward advocate. In A nutshell, a dade defense attorney sitting in court on a case assigned to a Broward ASA did nothing as the Broward ASA didn't get notice for the case, and the Dade ASA's couldn't find a file. Eventually the case was nolle prossed.
ReplyDeleteRumpole says: No worries mate. You can re-file a nolle prosse and if the story is true, that Defense attorney has just burned his/her bridges with that Judge and prosecutor. Hope it was worth it. If the story is true- and it might not be- that is NOT the way you practice law.
It twas the night of Thanksgiving
ReplyDeleteand all through the restaurant
not a waiter was stirring
not moving a platter
when all of the sudden
there came a great clatter
up jumped the chef
but the owner became gloomy
because in through door
walked none other than Shumie
"Bring me Turkey and stuffing"
"bring me carrots and peas"
all the waiters were scared
and they fell to their knees
after a great big feast
only one Turkey leg was left
and Shumie reached for it
like a hungry beast
but a little old lady
who had just sat down
reached for the leg and said with a frown
"You have eaten and eaten and your fork moved with a blur
please let me have this leg
and don't cause a stir"
all the waiters grew quiet
the chefs all said "hush"
and for a moment or two some thought there would be a rush
then after a burp
and a scattering of peas
the Mighty Shumie rumbled
"only if you say Please"
This night is famous
but not for carrots and peas
but it is known as the night
Shumie got kicked in the knees.
Maybe they won't refile, or wouldn't have until it got some play.
ReplyDeleteDuty to client? Or to the State and a Judge?
Burned bridge to freedom perhaps.
This Shumie stuff is priceless anyone know if Shumie is aware of the comedy at Shumie's expense?
ReplyDeleteSense of humor I presume?
This is no different than a situation when a case is assigned to a specialized unit of the SAO (like economic crimes, sex crimes, career criminal, etc.) and the prosecutor for that unit is not in the courtroom when the judge calls the case. The normal thing is to tell the judge that so-and-so is the prosecutor on the case and to pass it. Prosecutors from those special units do the same when they get there and the defense attorneys is in another courtroom.
ReplyDeleteThe defense attorney in this case gained nothing for their client by taking advantage of the situation to get a nolle prosse because such nolle prosse would be a nullity since the Dade SAO was not prosecuting the case and, thus, could not nolle prosse it.
The defense attorney should have just said to the judge: "So-and-so from Broward is the prosecutor in this case" and the let the judge take it from there.
I believe Shumie to be a frequent contributor to the blog in the form of "fake so and so" and may, along with some co-horts like Lurvey, Lyons, and Blecher, be Rumpole himself. If you buy into that proposition, then lets say Lurey or Blecher does the Shumie posts, and Lyons will put them up. See how it all fits?
ReplyDeleteSilly debate about what the defense attorney did.
ReplyDeleteFirst, do we actually know what happened?
Assuming de do, the defense attorney had no legal obligation to say anything, just a moral obligation, like stopping a kid from running into the street.
After his name is spread throughout the broward and dade sao, and all the judges, he'll receive his just desserts

ReplyDeleteYou are full of cr-p. Does that apply to the doctors, engineers, pilots and computer experts who serve and die every day. You are an ass and elitist. Go fix your own toilet.
