Xander ,'First Date'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
There were a lot of people with potential motives in the episode. The odds didn't make sense unless the game was fixed, but Weevil didn't fix the game, and he didn't throw off the odds.
Besides, if Weevil WERE the one who was fixing the game, he would have come up with a better plan than stealing a mascott and/or relying on a benchwarmer to throw the game.
Tell me a Buffista got laid while I was away.
How long were you away, I sorta just got back myself.
The answer, however, is probably "YES! So very very VERY laid."
*waves at Trudy*
Huh-woe.
Vives to Emmett on the nose resetting. I'm glad to be able to return all the nose-ma I got 2 years ago.
I wasn't saying that Weevil had anything to do with fixing the game -- just that he must have known it was fixed to set the odds (who else sets his line?), and that he couldn't know how it was fixed without knowing by whom. The odds were off before the note, weren't they?
Don't they have to reinsert the tube if legal action is ongoing (though they haven't done so yet)?
I'm not a civil procedure maven or anything, but what the parents attempted in the federal court was to get an injunction (temporary restraining order) for the tube to be reinserted. I *think* granting a TRO is the only circumstance under which it would be re-inserted during litigation.
But in order to get a TRO, you have to demonstrate, among other things, a substantial likelihood of success on the merits, which the parents were not able to do, and probably still couldn't do.
Kathy Astrom is the coolest.
That is all.
ita, I don't understand what you're arguing here. Yes, Weevil knew that the Neptune player who placed a large bet against his team was probably fixing the game, but why would he have any sort of motivation to tell Veronica?
My initial question was "Surely he knew who was rigging bets?" Tom, and I wasn't arguing against you on that -- what you said that I disagreed with was him not losing out if the game wasn't rigged. I'm still convinced that he set the line, and that he was complicit with the rigging, and that's where he was making his money.
So, if I understand it correctly, what T.S.'s parents are now asking is for the federal courts to determine that the state courts wrongly interpreted state law?
