UPDATE: The Herald reports here that former Miami Heat player Antoine Walker was arrested on South Beach for DUI. This is one time a basketball should have been called for traveling.
The Herald also has a nice piece on Attorney Stuart Mishkin who passed away earlier this year, but for some reason we can't find it on line.
Meanwhile, the Miami Dolphins are out of the playoffs, in a Miami version of "pay but no play."
QB Chad Pennington was intercepted 4 times, and as we predicted, the Ravens defense lit up the Dolphins, with all world safety and former UM star Ed Reed getting a "pick-six".
Richardson will be back when this scandal clears. So will Pennington, but the future of this franchise is with another quarterback. Everyone gives the Dolphins and their Big Tuna Brain Trust high marks for drafting this year, but has anyone noticed that Parcells and the Fins passed on Rookie QB sensation Matt Ryan? For that matter they passed on Ravens QB Joe Flacco as well. It may well be that the tandem of first round pick Jake Long and QB Chad Henne will work out, but until Henne becomes a starter for this team, the final grade for this years draft is Incomplete.
For the second straight week we went 3 for 4 with our picks, and we now sit at a season high 1469 Reeds as we enter the second week of the playoffs.
Meanwhile, President Elect Obama flew to Washington DC yesterday, sans a nominee for secretary of Commerce, while he deals with the last 15 days of this post election interregnum. (You robed readers may want to click on the word to read its definition.)
That's right folks, 15 days and counting until the "decider in grief" heads off to Texas, returning the idiot to his village.
The Congress goes back into session this week with the man who called Rush Limbaugh a "Big Fat Idiot" on the cover of his book ( Al Franken ) leading former senator Norm Coleman (his term expired on Sunday) by about 225 votes.
And here's a fun fact: Roland Burris the embattled and possibly putative appointed senator from Illinois and the Senate's Sergeant At Arms are old friends from Illinois politics: Terrance Gainer, the current Sergeant At Arms used to work for Burris when Burris was the Attorney General for Illinois and Gainer was the director of the State Police.
While neither expects fist-a-cuffs when Burris arrives to be seated, you can bet your cable bill that the cameras will be there to record the highlights of this strange twist in this strange political season.
And finally, yes we have reluctantly returned from our Winter Blogger's retreat, melancholy, and wistful, and rested and refreshed and ready to go.
Another Bush for president! Now there's a reason to register to vote today.
ReplyDeleteThe sad part is that he could win if he puts Palin as VP.

THE CAPTAIN REPORTS:
ReplyDeleteRumpole: interesting issue before the Court on Anonymous Blogging:
To unmask, or not to unmask. That's the issue before Maryland's high court as it considers anonymity on the Internet, a subject with which numerous courts have grappled as trash talk, criticism and negative comments flood chatrooms, blogs and message boards. Judges are trying to balance the First Amendment rights of online users to post comments freely without fear of repercussions, against the rights of defamed or injured parties to confront their assailants and remedy their injuries.
And Horace:
When are you going to correct your math from two weeks ago - you are up, but not that much!?

Yo, yo, Rumpole, ya hear me, "the rights of defamed or injured parties to confront their assailants and remedy their injuries."
ReplyDeleteJust one court ruling away.

ReplyDeletefor DUI cases, professional ball players usually hire Ed O'Donnel, Bobby Reiff, Mike Catalano or Richard Hersch.
ReplyDeleteThey do not call ticket clinics.
Miami has the Dolphins
ReplyDeleteOY what a football team.
They take the ball and throw and throw
to receivers they've never seen
they play and lose and play and win
they're rarely in control
and when you say Miami
you can't stop laughing when you say super bowl.

Hey Rump!
ReplyDeleteVisually, your page isn't looking very good.
There are different topics all under the same heading and then all the comments left are about different topics because they were all placed into the same heading.
Please go back to separating each topic with a different heading. =)
Richard Hersch and Bobby Rieff do not play so well in front of a jury.
ReplyDeleteYea, but, you should see how Reiff and Hersch do before the jury gets to the hallway!
