I mean there was that year we had our own weekly television show on ESPN showing everything our players get to see and do. And then about five times a year an elite recruit makes it official on the U. Our games against Auburn and Missouri regularly push two ranked teams over to ESPN2. The entire Calipari era has been one big infomercial on the worldwide leader.

I'm not mad at ESPN for featuring Coach K. I'm mad at ESPN for producing a lame commercial that runs 10x an hour.

So if an insurance company tries to deny your claim because it was an "Act of God," and you counter that you are an atheist and do not believe in God. Is it on them to prove there is a God?

I'd get a certified copy of your policy and review the Act of God exclusion closely. Wouldn't surprise me at all if they were trying to manipulate the facts to fit the exclusion. Also, in theory, you may have a claim against the dock. Inadequate construction, negligent maintenance, etc...

Actually, I just read: Don Hunter, the owner of Marine Assist at Jamestown Marina. "It was kind of was a shock because most of these places are designed for 6 inches of snow or less, being the area we are in the country," he said.

That seems a bit ridiculous to me. It is completely foreseeable that Lake Cumberland could get more than six inches of snow, not only at one given time, but let's say if you had 3 inches one day, and 3 inches more a couple of days later without a rise in temperatures. If those things were really only designed to withstand 6 inches of snow or less, then their collapse and the destruction of the boats was inevitable.

Saw a pair of socks at Dick's one time that had old action shots of Rik Smits on them. To this day, I regret not buying them.

The marinas actually word into the contract that they are not liable for your property. And if the slip is destroyed, that you still have to pay them for the slip that no longer exists.

Pretty one sided contract. So basically I could end up without a boat, that their dock destroyed, and still have to pay them for a slip, that no longer exists.

Bbdk, for your smoked chili, do you put the Dutch oven directly on the coals or on the grate?


When I made it on Weber, I set up for a standard 2 zone cook: I sautéed directly over Coals (on the grate) on one side, then moved over to indirect to simmer/smoke.


For BGE, I turned my place setter upside down, set the Dutch Oven directly on top of that, and let it heat up for a good 30 minutes wide open....sautéed, then shut the vents down to around 300, added wood, and simmer/smoked for about 1:30

I'd look at that contract pretty closely. IMO, there's a difference between not being responsible for your property as in someone else rams their boat into yours, someone comes onto the dock during the night and burns it to the ground, etc... and them building a piece of **** dock which was purportedly meant to protect your boat, but their decision to build a dock as cheaply as possible destroyed your boat.

I wouldn't just take "piss off you're out of luck" as an unchallenged answer from either your insurance company or the dock. If they won't pay it voluntarily, find an attorney that practices in that area and run it by them to see if they'd be interested.

And I'll be damned if I'd willingly continue paying for a slip that (a) wasn't there anymore and (b) destroyed my boat. I'd argue that provision is unconscionable and invalid.


This is not legal advice, it is merely theoretical ramblings.

My insurance company has been cool so far. On list to have boat pulled out of water when its freed from the wreckage. Then surveyor will review damage. Repair shop give me a quote...and then the real fun begins.

Doc, you have a clear defense strategy (see below). I'm sure one of the many of GYERO LAW experts would be glad to help you out.

Incompetency
The lack of ability, knowledge, legal qualification, or fitness to discharge a required duty or professional obligation.

The term incompetency has several meanings in the law. When it is used to describe the mental condition of a personsubject to legal proceedings, it means the person is neither able to comprehend the nature and consequences of theproceedings nor adequately able to help an attorney with his defense. When it is used to describe the legal qualification of aperson, it means the person does not have the legal capacity to enter a contract. When it is employed to describe aprofessional duty or obligation, it means that the person has demonstrated a lack of ability to perform professional functions.

Mental Incompetency
A person who is diagnosed as being mentally ill, senile, or suffering from some other debility that prevents them frommanaging his own affairs may be declared mentally incompetent by a court of law. When a person is judged to beincompetent, a guardian is appointed to handle the person's property and personal affairs.

The legal procedure for declaring a person incompetent consists of three steps: (1) a motion for a competency hearing, (2) apsychiatric or psychological evaluation, and (3) a competency hearing. Probate courts usually handle competencyproceedings, which guarantee the allegedly incompetent person Due Process of Law.

Doc, I'm not a lawyer, officially, but if I were you I would just pretend you are posting on GYERO while being evaluated. You might have to sign a few things over to Julia or PTI, but in the long run it will be for the best.

Remember to throw in a lot of Crab Island, Ricky Bobby, Ricky Bubbly and Eatin' Ain't Cheatin' language.

It will be obvious that there is no way anyone should have allowed you to sign anything on your own accord.

Good luck.

-Yogi is *really* good, he's so damn bouncy & fast with the ball. Still has that 'hero' tendency in late game situations though...he's definitely a point guard, but he's more of an Isaiah Thomas scorer type to me. 30 points, 1 assist. Although his assist numbers are way up & really impressive this year...but most of them are simple dishes to their peremiter bombers, who are as good as anyone in the country.

Give me Ulis by a nose this season, and by a longshot on a really good team.
Rack this.

I could not pass up these socks. I'm a sucker for championship years.

due to fire, theft, collision, windstorm, accident, or like causes.

Is accident defined in the contract? I think it's pretty obvious it doesn't refer to collapse by inadequate construction unless it specifically says so.

Is a snowstorm a "like cause" of any of those listed? My argument would be no. A windstorm is unpredictable. It could never happen, happen every 10 years, or happen 5 seconds from now. Snow totalling over 6 inches at one time is an inevitability. I would not consider that a "like cause".

Don't see a lot of people block shots when the ball is below their waistline. Shew, Bolden, Killeya, Wenyen, Monk, Bam and The General. That is as long and athletic as we've brought in. Bigs have some muscle as well.

One of my favorite things about being an attorney is the perpetual fear of malpractice whenever anyone asks you a question even remotely connected to law and the corresponding need to attach 9000 disclaimers to whatever you say in response. It's really wonderful.

Is that an advertisement?

Q. "Do I always have to stop at a red light?"

A. "Yes ... well, unless you're in a lane to turn right ... and there's no sign prohibiting a turn ... and if there's not a state or local ordinance prohibiting it ... and - OH GOD I'M GOING TO LOSE MY HOUSE SHOULD'VE GONE TO DENTAL SCHOOL BOB SCHWEMM WAS RIGHT"

Good article from Fisher on Ulis.
http://kentucky.247sports.com/Bolt/Tiny-Tyler-Ulis-defying-tall-odds-43164992

Of the 960 draft picks since 2000, only 26 have been smaller than 6-foot-1. Of those 26, only eight have been smaller than 6-foot:

2000: Speedy Claxton (5-11)
2000: Khalid El-Amin (5-10)
2000: Scoonie Penn (5-10)
2005: Nate Robinson (5-9)
2008: D.J. Augustin (5-11)
2011: Isaiah Thomas (5-10)
2013: Shane Larkin (5-11)
2013: Pierre Jackson (5-10)

Of those eight, only Claxton, Robinson, Augustin and Larkin were taken in the first round. If Ulis were to be drafted, he would join Nate Robinson in 2005 as the shortest player drafted since 2000.

"We have him in the mid-second round right now but if he were 6-3, he'd probably be a lottery pick," Givony said. "But his height has been there his whole career and it's not really stopping him from what he needs to do at the college level. Is it why he's not a lottery pick? Yes, but it's not going to prevent him from being an NBA player."
