  1. Will Smith who we can all agree has been involved with firearms in movies Warner Brothers firearm safe practices: https://www.safetyontheset.com/glossary/firearms/?fbclid=IwAR2RVA6yJsEr4G6IJw3Ik7Yr-afxQu2fj4FUr7IqnNBRKmCLB8IJTPs5lko
  2. Initial reports were the armorer involved in the movie was somewhat inexperienced. I don’t think she had ever been a head armorer before on a movie. It was widely reported at the time that the weapons were basically kept on set on a table and were available to to cast and crew where several people had taken the guns into the dessert to fire live rounds. The gun involved was a old timey single action revolver. So it’s not just a matter of pulling the trigger, you also have to pull the hammer back prior to firing. 1) Assume every gun is loaded. 2) Never point a gun at something you’re not willing to destroy. 3) Make certain of your target and what’s beyond. 4) Never put your finger on the trigger until you are on target. These simple rules do not change on a movie set. Typically guns used in movies are real guns, not “prop” guns. Guy Relford had Michael Grasso on his show back in October. Grasso has been the armorer on over 400 films. Very enlightening as to the workings of having firearms on a movie set. Oddly enough the podcast seems to have disappeared. I can’t find it online and it’s no longer in my library.
  3. Baldwin can spin this however he wants. It was a negligent discharge. The gun was in his charge at the time, he is responsible. I don’t see any getting around that.
  4. Radtke didn’t seem to have difficulty moving the program in a positive direction. Granted the town has changed since then.
  5. DE you must live a miserable existence.
  6. Thru the miracle of conference realignments and other scheduling changes, I will finally get to see Louisville Male that I’ve heard so much about in 2022.
  7. The game was ended. I think the ball is probably still in my garage somewhere. The actually had a fine structure if people got out of hand. I actually think the league ended after that game. A lot of these guys were former college players. And obviously a bunch of wannabes who thought they could ball. The play in question a team from Fairdale, KY was playing a team from Salem at Salem HS. Fairdale had the ball and were attempting to run out the clock. Safety from Salem come flying up, isn’t close to timing the snap, drops his head and goes straight into the snapper, who had no clue what was coming. Dude literally fell over backwards out cold. It scared the shit out of me, I thought he was dead. I declared the game over, took the game ball and headed to my truck.
  8. I used to officiate an 8-man adult league in southern Indiana. It was nuts, but they paid well and paid cash. The league told us up front they would not allow any BS and they didn’t, we had complete authority. I did it for about three years. Last game I did was a championship game and it got out of hand near the end. Last play left the center unconscious after a cheap shot and I ended the game with about 1:30 left on the clock. I took the ball, got in my truck and left. Not sure if they played after that or not.
  9. Roncalli and BHSS played in 18, first year of the contract. BHSS won, and promptly cancelled the contract. BHSS picked up Edgewood, and Roncalli picked up an Ohio school in 19. In 20 neither team could find a decent game and the elected to play a one time deal. However Covid cause BHSS to not only miss the Roncalli game, but also Chatard. I believe Chatard is the only team in the CCC that BHSS has played consistently. The season is still nine weeks long, BHSS is still missing the week 8 game for 22. Roncalli has Elder, I believe this is the second year of a four year deal. I would guess based on past experience they will either play someone really good or really bad. I know there weren’t a lot of options for week 8 in 2020.
  10. Isn’t week 8 and or 9 traditionally crossover weeks for CI and CCC? I know BHSS has seemed less than eager to play some of these games, cancelling the Roncalli 4 year contract after the first year, only to have to pick them back up when they both had open dates. Then of course the Covid hit. So my question is if BHSS has picked up Seymour for week 9, what does this mean for the crossover games? Seemed like a great idea with competitive games even though CCC is typically smaller schools.
  11. Not hard to figure out, the particularly in the money making sports. The power shift from metro schools to township schools, and now to the suburban schools. Many reasons for it, but it always boils down to two factors, numbers and socioeconomic.
  12. IC has some history of decent ball. I think the support is there.
  13. IC seems to have turned into a stepping stone job.
  14. Potentially. I’m privy to some info I can’t share. I can say a good friend of mine who’s an Indy area AD says there’s all kinds of proposals flying around. I think taking the haves out of the HCC and the MIC and going their way, the have nots do the same thing and go their separate way makes a lot of sense. There has been bit of a power shift going on, it’s moving from the townships to the suburbs.
  15. I believe limited contact period has/will begin around this time of December. I would guess most teams in the state are beginning in school out of season limited contact sessions.
  16. Here is exactly the reason I quit worrying about this crap years ago, you can have any kind of system you want, if you’re not going to live with it, what’s the point? #2 ranked crew who was eligible was sitting at home this weekend. #23 crew who was SS eligible did not work a regional. Rumor has it the 6A crew was observed yesterday for the 8th time this season, can ANYONE explain the point of that? Perhaps I’m jaded, perhaps I’m just cynical, or perhaps I’m just tired of being pissed on and being told it’s raining.
  17. Anything of value to refute what I said?
  18. Inflation is demonstratively an over abundance of money, who controls the money supply?
  19. As far as the Rittenhouse trial, first you tell us it’s because judges and prosecutors are lazy, now it’s because the prosecutor wasn’t smart. Which is it Scooter? Could you please point to the posts where I supported the protesters on January 6? You’re full of shit.
  20. So you would have us believe, that the going’s on on January 6, were so dire, such a threat to our nation, so damning, yet judges and prosecutors are too lazy to prosecute them? Sure, makes perfect sense to me. God only knows there are no hot shot young prosecutors out there wanting to make a name for themselves. Would you care to share with the group what strain you’re smoking, I’d love some for myself.
  21. Agree hats off to Coach Cooley and his staff. Good to see him have some success after being in a couple of less than ideal situations.
  22. Perhaps had they had school choice, things would have turned out better for them.
  23. Curious if any of our legal types have listened to these proceedings? In listening to jury instructions this morning, the judge had three days to come up with jury instructions and he has stumbled and stuttered through this whole thing. I believe the trial is a sham, this prosecutor has clearly been pressured into charging this young man without having a real case. That being said, I’m also curious as to our legal guys take on the judge’s behavior during the trial?
