COURTROOM MELTDOWN: A Florida trial came to a sudden halt on Monday afternoon after the defendant became heavily emotional.
George Pino, 55, on trial for a 2022 boat crash that killed a 17-year-old girl, started bawling so intensely during opening statements that the state asked for a recess.
Prosecutors argued Pino's outburst was fully visible to the jurors, prompting the judge to pause the trial so Pino could regain his composure.
Sorsby Attorney Jeffrey Kessler: "It is a just result. Brendan gets to devote himself to his team and the education of athletes on the dangers of gambling addiction. He will continue his treatment, miss two games, and there is no injury to the competitive integrity of the NCAA. It is what we proposed and what the NCAA should have accepted had it been true to its promises to prioritize the welfare of athletes."
Reaction from lawyer Tom Mars, a veteran of NCAA cases: "In 40 years as a lawyer, I've never been as shocked and surprised by a court ruling." That sums the reaction on the college sports landscape today.

Idris Elba says James Bond doesn’t need to be “woke”
“Bond is big all over the world. And audiences won’t [all] go for a Black male, an African male, playing Bond. That’s not what they like in their culture. Period…
Bond is so unrealistic, so a hint of reality is good, but let’s not try and make it woke. I think you’ve got to be pure to what it is: escapism. Don’t try and answer the world’s taste. Just be Bond.”

Suppose this kid has no legitimate reason to act as she is here, what lesson is being taught by forcing a handshake and a pic? Just set the diploma aside and tell her you will discuss her actions after the ceremony.
Stop debating with children. These kids were born into the world with access to more information than any generation before them yet they still make points “off the dome” or rooted in feelings rather than facts. JUST LOOK SH*T UP KIDS
MJ never once faced a team with two 20ppg scorers in the Finals. Again, I’m telling all you 26 year olds to stop looking at Rodman thru the lens of today’s league and look at him thru the lens of the era he played in where the final scores of playoff games were 87-81
