Just kidding, Judge says that she’s allowing it so that he can pay res to the victims. He’s famous enough that he is not really a flight risk. And the crime was financial, not violent or threatening.

Does "big surprise" really mean "little surprise"? Is it supposed to be the ironic opposite?

This whole thread (post or conversation) is sarcastic (or ironic)(except for this comment and replies to things you (or others) have asked (or commented to me (or others)(Those (replies (to you (or others)) may or may not be sarcastic, depending on (or upon) the context (at that moment)).).

I’ve been pointing out things that are obvious or easily predictable that happens in sports or I may have something that’s not sports related, but everybody knows was going to happen. Admittedly, most of what I have posted so far has been related to injuries of players who are constantly missing games. But I think it’s also open for other things like a bad team losing a 20 point lead.

Well, good, it’s about time he looked into a doctor about this. To each their own, but I never agreed with him going to the baker for his medical needs.

Sources: George, doctors mulling star's injuries

What does this mean?

What does this mean?

When you get hurt, you go see a doctor. He has been hurt very many times. And the headline made it sound like he was “this time” going to see a doctor. So I was joking that he had been seeing a baker before. Steve Martin had a skit on Saturday Night Live, where he was the barber of York. A long time ago people went to the barber to get medical advice.

Suit accuses ex-Laker Scott of '87 sexual assault

A woman is suing former Lakers player and coach Byron Scott, accusing him of sexually assaulting her in 1987, when he was 26 and she was 15.

www.espn.com

Ironically, I remember Byron Scott by him calling out Malone for his heart. Apparently they have something in common. Malone was younger than the should-have-known Scott, but so was the girl.

What year do you think Scott said that about Malone?
