The pursuit of wealth is not the only force that drives a decent society, and it shouldn't trump all others. And greed can be self-defeating, especially when your focus becomes squeezing as much cash out as fast as possible. You wind up killing the goose that lays the golden eggs because you...

Immortality. I wanted immortality. That's why I made all those horcruxes.

The love of money is the root of all manner of evil.

And if the fielder is moving across the bag? Or straddling it?

So basically, if your hips and shoulders are broader than the bases you are automatically in violation. Like I said: dumb rule.

If that's the rule, then it's a dumb rule.

I am a lawyer, though I don't do a lot of criminal work. This is a saying I've heard in the law biz several times, and while I'll concede it's a bit simplistic (and maybe a trifle cynical) I also think there's some truth to it. As I said there are a lot of exceptions and I am not giving any...

It's been said before -- if you're guilty you want a jury, if you're innocent you want a bench trial. Lots of exceptions of course but that seems to be the general rule.

TSJr isn't totally out of the woods yet, but his defense got a lot stronger. DNA provides no proof that Shannon touched her, let alone penetrated her. Unless the prosecution finds a really strong eyewitness this probably gets dropped before trial.

The whole point of all these recruiting regulations was to maintain the story that college athletes were amateurs -- aside from the scholarships they weren't paid to play, supposedly. With NIL that's out the window. So what's the point of all the rules anyway? It's the NCAA that really...

Ya know, this team had a pretty good season. They won the conference tourney, made it to the Sweet 16. UConn can't take any of that away. But it's gonna take a few days for the stink from this one to go away.

Has a team ever been shut out in a half?

Well, the 2005 team came back from about this far against Arizona in the Regional final, and that game was the day before Easter...

Well, on the plus side, Donovan Clingan is going to be very tired at the end of this game. But he'll have a week to recuperate before the Final Four.
