Rand didn't get your ratio there, but I guess it was just some scientist shit I wouldn't get anyway.
I'd forgotten Moses as a pitcher with a terrific pick off move "Thou shall not steal!"
Not really. 108 billion total lives over history versus two biblical characters who never dies because they were ‘taken up’. :)Quote:

Brett says he did not no show anyone. He doesn't know where auditor came up with two speaking engagements missed.

Taking Brett at his word, the obvious explanation is that the org that was paying him made inaccurate or misleading claims about his involvement.Quote:
Favre said the fees were for advertising work, public-service announcements and one public appearance and that he never accepted payment for services he did not perform. He learned of the scandal from his longtime agent, James “Bus” Cook, who contacted him after news broke earlier this week.
He got $1.1 million. Why would you commit fraud and give it to someone else with no “reward” for doing so.Quote:

I doubt you need a contract with Bus and Brett. I suspect that kind of thing could be handled by phone or email. Dates and confirmation of payment. I just think that it may never have been Favre's understanding that he was being paid for speaking engagements. That part could be one sided,Quote:

But they also could have been using Favre as cover/publicity for how active they were. And same as the idiotic expenditures on golf and concert tickets, getting Favre to attend an event might have been its own reward.
The auditor said that Davis did not seem intent on any one scam, just running his own mini empire.

Glad to see Yas ky and Patler. It's like the good old days, talking Favre and talkin shit.
Its a hypothetical. I just think the items on the receipts for the money are not the interesting part and likely can be explained away. And the difference between one party or the other describing them don't seem interesting to me. I could be wrong, it might lead to somethingQuote:

It’s a mistake to think Favre doesn’t know what he’s doing. “I just want to play for a team that plays against Green Bay. Minnesota plays them twice.”Quote:

On the other hand, I know he’s not the brightest bulb in the drawer, and I’ve heard tons of first hand stories about just how frugal he is with money and how he and his extended family don’t like paying for anything and want everything given to them for free, even though they have plenty
Yep Red. Those tales are true. One of BF's brothers was such a notorious freeloader, many places in GB insisted on seeing the color of his money before they would serve or feed him. Deanna is truly a sweet saint, but some of the family, not so much.Quote:

Scott Campbell and his ilk see Tillman as an American hero, as the dude who gave up everything to defend America’s freedom. To me, Tillman was a cowardly egoist.
Tillman was not drafted by the military. He was not in the military. He was not some burger-flipping loser with no life. He didn’t have to play soldier. Tillman had a family. He disregarded the emotional, physiological, and physical well-being of his family to egoistically seek war glory. In short, Tillman chose self-interest over the interests of his family. He was an egoist.
Kap ain’t no fucking egoist.
