NFL WEEK 6 2024 IMAGINE EDITION

 Imagine. Saturday John Lennon's 84th Birthday was celebrated in Central Park. More on this below. 

Our NY Mets start their march to the World Series tonight in LA. Hard to win a road playoff game, but they are rested and have their pitching lineup set, while LA's bullpen is in tatters. Our Mets bets have been beyond $pectacular and we are playing with house money and riding them all the way through the World Series. #LetsGoMets!  Game 1 tonight 8pm ish. 

Your Cleveland Browns are a disaster. Their QB is a sexual predator, never a good thing, and the have no team cohesiveness. They are in Philly today and it is just what the doctor ordered for the up and down Eagles. 8.5 is a lot to give but we are doing it and under 42.5 because there's no O in Cleveland. The only good news is they are on the glidepath to a top pick in the draft and there are plenty of good QBs coming out of college. 

Houston at the Cheaters. The Texans were our "it" team this season and we blew it. We should have tagged the Vikes, at which point we'd be eyeing that flat we have our eye on in London. But whatever. Cheaters starting their rookie QB Drake Maye. Maye-be he does ok. Something just tells us to put a few dollars to work on NE at home +6.5. 

The game of the day is the Commanders against the Ravens in Baltimore. Maybe a new rivalry is brewing now that DC has a team.  They are fun to root for, so we will take the 6.5 for DC to keep it close. 

We are still on a football losing streak so don't go crazy, other than Mets +145 to win the series against LA.  Also, a very profitable bet for us this season has been pitcher o/u strikeouts in any particular game (thank you Pirate rookie phenom pitcher Paul Skeenes!). Tonight, we like Mets starter Kodai Senga over 2.5 strikeouts at -110. Parlay that with the Mets +1.5 and a Hundee bet pays 275 which will cover our wine needs for the coming week). 

IMAGINE

This was the scene in Central Park Saturday celebrating John Lennon's 84th Birthday (which was October 9). Imagine if he had not been senselessly murdered? Do yourself a favor and mark your calendar and spend an October 9 in Strawberry fields one morning-afternoon. It's kinda sad...kinda bittersweet...and kinda nice being with likeminded people who like to imagine a world with no war, fear, and pain. 



Survivor coming soon. We are out 😡

Caleb Willams Bears looks really good today in London. Three sweet TD passes plus some other very sharp passing. I’m impressed.

Agreed rump. Was too early to call the Shumie on him so far. He’s lookin fr good

Rumpole said...

Another sweet TD pass for Caleb. He has four and they have all been in small windows. I’m impressed. Plus watching everyone in London sing sweet Carolina looks fun.

The Savanah Bananas performance was fun. Stadium sold out (37,000). The Bananas offer more than just a baseball game, incorporating comedy, music, and theatrical elements into their performance. Highly recommended for kids.

Tua is better than Caleb. Not even close.

Prosecutors keep signing blank “court slips” (they are actually OT slips) for your cops. They need your signature, then they fill in whatever they want. Free OT courtesy of the SAO. Henchmen getting richer by the day.

Yes, Tua is better than Caleb Williams. And to prove the Fins' faith in him, they will be selecting a QB in the first round next year.

You people convict ASAs and cops on scant evidence, hearsay, and conjecture but your clients are innocent even when they confess to police, confess in jail calls, and tamper with witnesses/evidence. The gaslighting is incredible.

Anonymous said...

Proof is in the herald article the Dept. suspended them for OT abuse. Except their investigation was crap because it was covered up by lies. You expect the tax paying community to believe these cops work 24 hrs a day? If so overtime for what to walk around with an egotistical ASA.

Anonymous said...

Our clients didn’t seek out a job that requires them to take an oath and swear to uphold the constitution dumbass. So, technically your comment is gaslighting. Get a grip.

Anonymous said...

I use to sign these blank OT slips bc there were times when I needed help get some reluctant witnesses to come to court to prosecute defendants charged with serious crimes. I could count on t these detectives to visit the witnesses and bring them to court. Was it the the right thing to do? Probably not. But if that what it took to get done measure of justice for NOKs, I didn’t mind.

So let’s get this straight MVZ and company took an inmate to the City of Miami police station for a conjugal visit in exchange for snitching on another inmate. Police go to SAO for conjugal visits and overtime. It’s a known fact. Amazing. The SAO is amazing place.

Convict? LOL You corrupt, unethical people don’t even get tried.

Gaslighting while calling people gaslighters is hilarious. So ASA of you.

Who writes this garbage for Rundle’s social media - terrible leader. “ In honor of National Boss’s Day, we recognize our State Attorney, Katherine Fernandez Rundle, for her leadership in our workplace, for her guidance, insight and intuition, and for her encouragement, recognition, and appreciation of all of us at the SAO.” 🤮🤮🤮

Happy Bosses day Rundle. You did amazing handling MVZ and Mitchell. Keep up the GREAT work!!

A 30 year tenure marred by incompetence, injustice and corruption, keep up the good work Fernandez Rundle. A gold medal in incompetence. Please let someone else competent take over. #BossDay

@6:20 Am I understanding that because a person goes into public service they don’t have due process rights? The right to confront anonymous accusers who defame them with false statements?… real defenders of the constitution you are. Remember your duty of civility and to not disparage other lawyers

Anonymous said...

Of course Tua is better than Caleb, but that's not much to say. Tua is, and has been since college, damaged goods. The Phins should not have drafted him. What was it, four surgeries before the draft? The guy has a mountain of talent, but what's that worth if he can't stay on the field all season?

Phins shouldn't field Tua ever again. Dump the season. Pick high in the draft. Trade the shitbag of a human Tyreek Hill (https://www.si.com/nfl/2019/04/25/tyreek-hill-audio-recording-son-broken-arm-fiancee-threatened-chiefs). Rebuild. Last season was fun for the first 14 weeks, but this build was doomed all along.

70% of ASA’s don’t care about NOK’s they are just chess pieces to them to win at all cost.

Anonymous said...

12:48 am - please tell me that you’re not a lawyer and, especially, and ASA! But if you’re the latter I’m pretty sure we know your identity.

What due process rights do you believe are owed to public servants by this blog or those who post here? Please enlighten those of us who clearly skipped this class in law school.

NOK? HA HA go ask Kathy, Michael Von Zamft, Steven Mitchell, and Amy Drever if they gave a flying fuck about NOK when they gave William Brown immunity for murdering 3 teenagers and shooting another 7…. And the SAO is still covering it up… that office doesn’t care about anything but winning and putting black men in prison.

Fuck “other lawyers.” If they’re unethical and violate the laws, exposing them is not disparaging, it’s TRUTH.

Yes she really guided MVZ.

Hyper sensitive ASA. “Disparaging.”

It's not fair to include Amy Drever here. She wasn't even a lawyer when MVZ gave Brown his deal.

Is it fair to say these are all truths?

Mommy someone hurt my feelings. 😢

SAO supports censorship. Kill free speech so the corruption truth won’t come out!

Anonymous said...

Lots of people seem triggered by 12:48. Speaking of guilty conscience…

Who said anything about censorship? The point was that a person in public service doesn’t just have to take/be subjected to being defamed (that inherently means **false** accusations). If true? Go for it. But also have the courage to put your name with it and risk the consequences with the bar or a civil court.

Leave Khalil alone he’s my friend

Anonymous said...

Not fair to put Amy Drever in here?!?! She and MVZ both received police/FBI reports that they BOTH lied about and said they did not receive. She was recently listed as a witness in a case to come in and lie for the SAO. Interestingly, she now works for the Broward OIG. Wonder if anyone there knows she was one of MVZs soldiers

Kathy has no idea that 99% of the support staff is mistreated and abused.

Oh yes, let’s bury her head in the sand. She was the trial prosecutor in 2023. She was cc’ed and emails containing Brady evidence withheld from defense. Not exempt. Very fair. Sorry not sorry.

It’s only a crime if it’s a young black male. ASA’s are exempt.

She was listed by Mitchell to testify to defend van Zamf. She is one of his cronies. The case pled so she didn’t testify. She would have lost her credibility too

Asking accusers to be courageous when the criminal ASAs and cops are cowards is cute. How about just stop being unethical or go get a different job?

Anonymous said...

Speaking of censorship, are we allowed to post names of people now or are only the names of defense attorneys protected?

Anonymous said...

@8:04 so the end justifies the unethical means? That is what due process seeks to curtail. What you said is literally the definition of “win at all costs.” Thank you for proving the defense bars point so eloquently.
