    Nice deflection I did not accuse him of a damn thing I simply asked if he was part of that team, and being part of that team he knew what was happening.

    Perhaps he did, can you prove that? Under the Grand Jury Testimony it was shown that Juan, Jimmy and Ray did not know and that does make sense. Being Ed Martin was local to Detroit and Jalen and Chris went to Detroit HS. Juan was from Chicago and Jimmy and Ray from Texas. If you have some facts about this please share them.

    Robert Taylor, Chris Webber, Jalen Rose, Louis Bullock, Maurice Taylor all Detroit kids, all associated with Martin. Martin was an interesting dude.

    Yeah a basketball team is not close knit, they would not notice the guy with new stuff that he normally would not afford. What ever helps them sleep at night in AA.

    Wonder which court will intervene to protect the special class?

    https://www.foxnews.com/us/jussie-smollett-criminal-docs-ordered-to-be-unsealed

    Jussie Smollett's Cook County criminal documents ordered unsealed

    Cook County judge Steven G. Watkins' decision came months after a dizzying set of events: First, Smollett alleged he'd been the victim of a hate crime; after an extensive investigation, Chicago cops arrested Smollett and accused him of faking the supposed attack; and then, Cook County prosecutors suddenly dropped the charges against Smollett and his case was sealed.

    But not anymore -- at least, soon.

    When the state attorney asked whether the office could have more time to redact personal information from the files, Watkins advised prosecutors to "act as if the documents were never sealed in the first place."

    In January, Smollett made national headlines when he filed a police report alleging two masked men attacked him, put a rope around his neck and poured bleach on him as he was walking home from a fast food eatery. Smollett, who is black and openly gay, said the masked men beat him, made racist and homophobic comments and yelled, "This is MAGA country" -- a reference to President Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan -- before fleeing the scene.

    He was innocent and those evil Trump supporters should be put to death like they were still in the womb fetus's.
    Whew that was hard but at least I got a look at my prostate with my head up my a$$, not sure how Libs do it.

    Glad you're happy. I despise basketball but I follow it on the periphery. I remember that UM team and his name. They were really good.

    Not sure who Michigan hires as a head coach is going to effect my mental state at all.

    The fact that you are not sure may be an issue

    I am attempting to ponder why you feel the hire would possibly have any influence on my mental state, the short statement you made is far from logical I can not fathom how you could possibly make that deduction, either your troll skills are that weak or you are that emotionally retarded.

    I have no idea what your mental state is, I was just hoping you felt better, and now you seem angry. Maybe you need some hot coco to calm down. If you are already calm and relaxed have a great night.

    The zero coverage of the Cup on ESPN. It's on in all of my branches and all I ever hear is basketball talk with those two idiots yelling back and forth.

    Several years ago I had a flowering dogwood in the yard. Neighbor kids were always climbing and playing in it as branches were low. Had some dead limbs on one side and think it was twisted with winds at one point succepting it to disease.

    Told them ton stay out of it didn't want them to get hurt and be sued for it. Day after day in the summer I came home to them half way up the tree. So I cut it down.

    Now they are using another tree in the right of way to climb, seen in last photo. Going out to cut the lower limbs off as the kids have grown in height and are now climbing it.

    I don't have insurance so I can be sued, I have it to protect my equity in property.

    Who gets sued with a tree in front of the house in a public right away? Who owns the sidewalk?

    Who has to maintain both by law?
