Sen. Bob Menendez found guilty on all counts


Menendez was charged with 16 federal counts.

Sen. Bob Menendez was found guilty on all counts Tuesday in his federal corruption trial.

Federal prosecutors in New York alleged the New Jersey Democrat accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes in the form of cash, gold bars, mortgage payments and more in exchange for the senator's political clout. Three New Jersey businessmen who were also charged, along with the governments of Egypt and Qatar, were the alleged recipients. Two of those co-defendants, Wael Hanna and Fred Daibes, were also convicted of all counts they faced.

Prosecutors claimed Menendez, 70, "put his power up for sale" in exchange for the gold, envelopes stuffed with money, checks to his wife for a no-show job and a Mercedes-Benz convertible. The FBI found gold bars and more than $400,000 in cash stashed in places including jackets and shoes throughout his home, prosecutors said.

The defense, meanwhile, maintained that all of the actions in the indictment fell within the scope of Menendez's position and that prosecutors failed to prove he took any bribes.

During his closing argument, defense attorney Adam Fee mocked the government's case as "cherry-picked nonsense" and accused prosecutors of "fudging" the facts.

Denver Trip

I know there are other threads but this trip is a little unique. I am taking my son on a “man trip” before he goes to middle school.

We fly in early next Tuesday, will play golf, have dinner, stay the night and then head to Fort Collins to see family. Will then fish the next day and then head to the mountains for one night of camping.

Tips/things I’m looking for:

Great steakhouse in Denver
Any fishing guides, preferably north towards Fort Collins area
Any recommended camping spots in the mountains, more rural than the crowds of Rocky Mountain national park

Open to hearing other fun things to do in the area

TIA

Deadpool and Wolverine

Early reactions from ppl who saw the premiere are amazing. Now granted this has happened in the past with other movies, but I have a feeling this one is going to be great. Two things that I am most excited about are that you don’t need to be versed in all the MCU backstory to enjoy it and I’ve heard over and over how the trailers have shown nothing.

Got my tickets for Friday afternoon.

B Run Sports - Nice Price Sale aka Silver Member Sale

Just kidding about the Silver Member bit.

We kind of took July off of doing any serious promoting for vacations and such and we are using August to push some items in our Nice Price sale.

Wanted to make room for when the new helmets are available so we are decreasing inventory with some good sales.

I’ll just post in here as the items go on sale.

First is our B Run Sports exclusive Behren Morton signed Mini helmets with Behren themed decals.

I will guarantee you will love them but we only have 6 left as of the time of this post.

Most likely the Micah mini helmets will be next but I’ll get it all scheduled this weekend.

NSIP: ESPN Article-- 30 Teams who could make the CFP in 2024

ESPN

Tech checks in at #30. Given a 11.5% chance to make the playoff and a .03% chance of Tech winning it all.

Other teams of note:

Texas-- #3 (Former Conference Member)
Missouri-- #9 (Former Conference Member)
Oklahoma-- #10 (Former Conference Member)
Kansas-- #15 (Big 12 Member)
Kansas State-- #16 (Big 12 Member)
Texas A&M-- #17 (Former Conference Member)
SMU-- #21 (In State School)
Arizona-- #23 (Big 12 Member)
UTSA-- #24 (In State School)
Oklahoma State-- #28 (Big 12 Member)
Utah-- #29 (Big 12 Member)

Blurb on Tech--

FPI's chance to make playoff: 11.5% | Win national title: 0.3%

2023 record: 7-6
ESPN BET odds to win the national title: 300-1
CFP ranking history: N/A

Dinich's take: This is a sleeper that is making progress and could surprise some teams, but until proven otherwise, it remains a long shot for the CFP. The Red Raiders were picked by the media to finish ninth in the Big 12. Without a conference title, Texas Tech would likely have to win at Arizona and/or at Oklahoma State to give the committee a signature victory to consider for an at-large spot. There are a handful of coin-toss games -- at TCU, at Iowa State and against West Virginia -- that could really help Texas Tech contend for an at-large spot, but there's no margin for error in those.

Toughest test: Oct. 5 at Arizona. It's a new conference opponent and one expected to contend for the Big 12 title. ESPN's FPI gives Arizona a 59.9% chance to win.

What the committee will like: A winning road record. The Red Raiders' best chances to impress the selection committee with quality wins will come on the road. The most elite competition will be at Arizona and Oklahoma State, but it will also be difficult to win at TCU and Iowa State. ESPN's FPI favors every Texas Tech road opponent except Washington State.

What the committee won't like: The overall schedule strength. Texas Tech is ranked No. 69 in SOS, according to ESPN Analytics, and might face only two CFP top-25 opponents during the regular season (Oct. 5 at Arizona and Nov. 23 at Oklahoma State). Its nonconference lineup includes FCS Abilene Christian, Washington State -- which is No. 64 in ESPN's FPI -- and North Texas, which is No. 106 in FPI.
