Gotta thrill the beer-swilling fans whose beer purchases support the advertisements that make all this possible. I stopped watching the NFL decades ago after the Darryl Stingley incident. This all too often a blood sport/

That was 44 years ago.

This is doubtless be the butt of many jokes but it will all come out in the end.

Curious to know how cheating can take place in chess, but I guess it's similar to gambling if an outside party can somehow transmit the next move to a player after running them through a computer simulator.  Strip searches may be coming to chess!

And the more things change, the more they remain the same.

A strip research would have revealed nothing unless they did a body cavity search.

Video is NSFW (lots of irate anglers).

Jake Runyan and Chase Cominsky have ruined their lives (and no doubt their pro fishing careers). They've accumulated nearly half a million in winnings over the last two seasons, not to mention all the sponsorship deals and perks. IIRC, Runyan's boat alone is worth over $150K.

Next level stupidity.

Uvalde School District Suspends Its Entire Campus Police Force For Unknown Period

The school district of Uvalde, Texas, suspended its entire campus police force Friday, saying new developments have “uncovered additional concerns with department operations” following officers’ response to a deadly mass shooting at a district elementary school in May.

The suspension will last “for a period of time,” the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District said in a statement. The district has asked the Texas Department of Public Safety to provide additional troopers for now.
“We are confident that staff and student safety will not be compromised during this transition,” the UCISD statement said.

The district has also placed Lt. Miguel Hernandez on administrative leave. Hernandez had taken over as UCISD police chief a month after the deadly shooting when his predecessor, Pete Arredondo, was himself placed on administrative leave. Arredondo was ultimately fired for how long it took officers to confront the gunman, who killed 19 young children and two adults at Robb Elementary on May 24.

Ken Mueller, the district’s director of student services, was also placed on leave but elected to retire instead, UCISD said Friday.

The district said it’s still cooperating with two investigations into the shooting response ― one by a team of private investigators the district hired, and one by the Texas Police Chiefs Association. Aside from saying it had recently developed “additional concerns,” UCISD didn’t provide any information about what led to Friday’s decision.

Two anglers accused of stuffing fish with lead weights and fillets in an attempt to win thousands of dollars in an Ohio fishing tournament were indicted Wednesday on charges of attempted grand theft and other counts.

Jacob Runyan, 42, of Broadview Heights, Ohio, and Chase Cominski, 35, of Hermitage, Pa., were indicted in Cleveland on felony charges of cheating, attempted grand theft, possessing criminal tools and misdemeanor charges of unlawfully owning wild animals. They're due to be arraigned Oct. 26.

And it very nearly came down to a violent exchange. All over community members trying to screw over other members of a small community. So much for small-town unity.

Money makes people do strange things.

The prizes for some of these US fishing derbies are outlandish with prize money reaching up to a million dollars, the boat they confiscated was probably won at a pro fishing derby.  I can see knowledge being an advantage, but I fail to see how skill catches the biggest fish, it's more or less a lottery, since most fish are probably smart enough not to accept a cut of the prize money.
