Alan Page is a Supreme Court judge in the state of Minnesota. It’s not unreasonable to assume he’s a fine man.

I had a discussion a bit like this last night with someone who said Mickey Mantle was a better player and better human being than Joe DiMaggio.  I asked him, what are we using as a criteria to determine what type of human being these guys are?  DiMaggio played between 1935 and 1951, while Mantle played from 1951 to 1968.  I'm getting pretty old, and both were way before my time.  Not sure how he made the determination on these guys' personal character.

Yeah I'm gonna withold judgement until I see the kinds of flags his wife flies at their vacation home.

John Madden is responsible for Favre being overrated. He just could not stop fluffing that guy for years.

Here, read up on Alan Page.  Note which president awarded him the Medal of Freedom if you want to bring in that nonsense.  Page served from 1985 (assistant AG) until 2015 (MN Supreme Court Justice).  His charity work was unbelievably strong.  His proposed state constitutional amendment guaranteeing a public education to all children is not unlike what we have in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s Constitution.  I would suggest that the Walter Payton award could easily be named after Page.

There are many former NFL players that contributed to serving their communities, whether Reggie White’s ministry, Jon Runyan’s terms in Congress or Lane Johnson’s work on mental health.  Really curious what Brooks is going to do with that Wharton MBA.  But in terms of length of such service, Page is one that stands out for me.

Yeah, the Favre discussion is interesting.  I have to admit, my perception of him was always to just wait him out and eventually he'll try to force a throw downfield which will be an interception.

Elway was a guy who was a lot better later in his career.  He forced way too many throws trying to rely on arm strength and eventually learned to play QB

Not sure if it came across as such, but I was making a joke about another judge. I'm sure Page is a good dude.

Yep Favre threw one to Dawk in OT of the 4th and 26 game. Just a brain dead ridiculous throw.

Mantle was very much a good old boy, friendly, sociable, and he drank a lot. A lot. He was friendly to fans and got along with teammates. He got along with black players and was a civil rights activist in a minor way.

DiMaggio was cold, even distant but was always classified as classy. He beat Marilyn Monroe while they were married (briefly). He too got along with black players, not a common thing in his time.

Mantle was more powerful and DiMaggio more graceful. Mantle was a switch hitter. DiMaggio batted right. I saw Mantle hit two home runs in Briggs Stadium, one right handed, the other left. The one left handed went over the second deck in right field.

Both played center field, Mantle replacing DiMaggio. When healthy Mantle had greater range but he battled injuries his whole career.

No surprises there.   

If the officer had turned on his body cam, Scheffler might be in bigger trouble, but those charges weren't gonna stick given what we saw.

Spike Eskin is the softest radio host ever.  He just hung up on someone because he said they are a twitter troll and unless they apologize they can't talk.

Well the officer lied, so it's a good thing for him his body cam was "magically" turned off.

I thought that was still up for debate, given the fact that we couldn't see the initial part of the interaction?

Based on the cop's camera "coincidentally" shutting off, the video footage of what we saw, and the cop's prior history, they need to look into reopening cases that he was previously involved with.

I don't think they saw a viable way to get a conviction and it wasn't going to be a politically popular prosecution.

Only against golfers.   It's not like the cop's history was unknown. I can't imagine why this would open up other cases.. The cop is not being disiciplined and the DA did not say the cop did anything wrong by arresting Scheffler.  He said that it was a misunderstanding by Scheffler and there was no probable cause for the crime.  It wasn't an apology to Scheffler for the cops behavior.

Why do you love criminals and hate cops.  

Shefflers arrest should win Nasty Nate this year
