WI Supreme Court “went well beyond what any court has ever held in opening the floodgates to secret money in politics”

Brendan Fischer of PRWatch was recently interviewed by Janine Jackson of Fair.org. A couple of exerpts: JJ: Well, it sounds as though the charge was that Walker actively sought to skirt finance laws and that the ruling is: Yes, he did, but it’s OK? I mean, help us to understand exactly what happened here. BF: That’s about right. more »

Republican presidential candidates cluster accounts at bank with only 1 branch in McLean, Virginia

Hmmmmm.

Braxton Miller and what could have been (but not really)

Everyone waited on Braxton Miller. He kept saying he was staying at Ohio State, but the football world didn't believe. To most it didn't make sense that he would fight for the QB spot with the national champs when he could waltz in as the starting QB at dozens of college programs. One of the recurring speculations was that he would end up at BC.

It made sense. BC needed a QB and the one-year success of Tyler Murphy was a great selling point. Then there was the Addazio-Meyer connection. BC doesn't run the same exact offense at the Buckeyes, but there are plenty of similarities. BC's current QBs were young and could wait behind Miller. I heard the talk too, but I don't think it ever got far. And now it all makes sense because Miller is staying at OSU and converting to H-Back.

In reading about Miller's decision, I think the reason he didn't transfer is that he couldn't have played QB for anyone. He still has labrum issues and won't be able to throw completely for two more months. A transfer can't be that effective if he cannot practice with his new team. By playing this hybrid position at Ohio State, he can learn routes and practice catching balls. He can also prepare to be an NFL receiver.

It would have been nice to have a healthy 5th year superstar transfer, but I am excited about Wade. He might not be as dynamic as Miller, but now we can hope for multiple very good seasons instead of another stopgap. (At least that is what I am telling myself.)

“Scott Walker is not Joe McCarthy, but his technique is similar”

This is a bit from an opinion piece by Dana Milbank in the Washington Post: “Scott Walker is not Joe McCarthy, but his technique is similar: He suggests that the nation’s ills can be cured by fighting labor unions (foremost among the “big government special interests” hurting America), even though unions represent just 11 percent more »

“Governor Walker, why are you trying to break my family apart?” – Leslie Flores

Because a new poll shows that Donald Trump polls nationally at 24% among Republican registered voters while Walker polls 13% I have to admit that I have no idea whether Walker’s comments to this family have an impact positive or negative within the Republican Party base.

Iowa is smelling the BS around Walker’s Kohls speech

Iowans are learning that Scott Walker doled out over $68 million to Kohls. It’s undermining his “brown bag government” schtick. Excellent! If they keep pulling at loose threads on his stories they’re going to turn up tales of unaccountable millions in corporate welfare he gave out through WEDC.

Buckhead CID Calls for a Pause in Park Plans

Since April, the Buckhead Community Improvement District (BCID) has been abuzz with preliminary plans to build a nine-acre park that would sit above GA 400 and the MARTA rail line—thus creating a park “out of thin air.” This week, however, members of the BCID board decided to postpone issuing RFPs (requests for proposal) for the project. Instead, they will hold a yet-to-be-scheduled work session to hammer out the proposed plan’s details and potential challenges.

The park would emulate the Klyde Warren Park in Dallas, which was built over an interstate highway. Since it opened in 2012, the $110 million park has attracted two million visitors in just two years and tripled the value of surrounding office space, according to its structural engineers, Jacobs Engineering Group. Based on the Klyde Warren Park’s success, Jacobs was hired by BCID to study the feasibility of creating a similar park in Buckhead.

In Jacobs’ preliminary rendering of the project, the park would connect to the Buckhead MARTA station and create a one-third-mile corridor from the Atlanta Financial Center on Peachtree Road to Lenox Road. The park would include a green plaza space at the Buckhead station’s main entrance and a central area with a series of gardens. The northern end of the park, which would link to the Lenox Road loop, would feature a performance area that would hold 4,000 to 7,000 people and include a small stage for performances. The Buckhead pedestrian bridge over 400, completed last year, would bisect the green space. The plan also shows a ramp over Lenox Road that could potentially link the park to the PATH400.

Initially enthusiastic about the park project, the BCID then realized the enormity of the undertaking—particularly its probable cost, estimated at $150-200 million. The organization thus decided to take a “breather” to consider the idea in greater detail. Bringing the park to fruition would likely require a public-private partnership, as happened with the Klyde Warren Park, 46 percent of which was funded by private contributions through a specially created foundation.

In addition to funding issues, BCID board members have expressed concerns about being diverted from their primary purpose, which is to manage transportation issues in Buckhead, and about possibly having to expand the BCID’s capacity in order to manage the park.

Fortunately, the project has no set timetable, and so the BCID’s slowed momentum will not prevent progress. Jacobs will continue to benchmark the visual plan with renderings and graphics before moving into the more precise feasibility study, which will be the next step if approved and funded by the BCID board. Meanwhile, the board will gather more information, including input from architect and engineering professionals who will conduct detailed planning, design, and cost studies. The board hopes to determine what the community wants in the park and to examine possible funding models, says Jim Durrett, executive director of the BCID.

If it proves feasible, a park like the proposed “park in the sky” would surely be an asset to Buckhead, just as Piedmont Park has been for Midtown. It would create a true live-work-play atmosphere in the heart of the Buckhead business district, thereby positioning Buckhead to become even more appealing to large corporations.  The “park out of thin air” could become the jewel in Buckhead’s already enviable crown.

UNC hires Crawley and other links

Former BC Women's Basketball Coach Sylvia Crawley is back in the ACC as an assistant at North Carolina. Because Women's Basketball doesn't get all that much attention, the Crawley tenure is often overlooked in how bad things got. Hopefully the rebuild is almost complete.

Olivier Hanlan's early struggles have disappointed some Jazz followers. If he cannot get more play in the Summer League, he's probably headed for the D-League.

Jay Paterno reached out to BC about staff jobs in the past. This came out as part of his lawsuit against the NCAA. He's been rejected by a number of Power 5 schools as well as James Madison. It is unclear if he talked to BC under Spaz or Addazio. As far as I know, Jay never enabled or ignored Sandusky's crimes. HE probably deserves another chance to prove himself as a coach. I don't see it happening at BC though...Addazio seems pretty committed to hiring from his own network.

Report: BC and North Dakota planning MSG game

It is good to be a BC fan in New York. New Yorker Eagles have been able to see the football and basketball teams locally numerous times. Now it looks like they will be able to see Hockey at Madison Square Garden. According to multiple reports, BC and North Dakota are in the final stages of scheduling a game the the New York arena in December 2016.

The game should do well at the box office. North Dakota fans are known for traveling and BC showed they could sell ticket in New York. Plus the hardcore BC Hockey fans will make a trip of it to see BC play in the famous arena. Confirmation of the game should come during this upcoming hockey season.

Hanifan signs and other links

The Hurricanes signed Noah Hanifan to a three-year contract with the standard AHL-NHL payouts. Good luck to him.

This Washington Post story on Jared Dudley starts with a BC anecdote. He only has a one-year deal in DC, but it seems like a good fit.

The BU alums won the Comm Ave Classic 7-5. The event raised over $55,000.

Atlanta Movie Reviews: Minions, Self/less, The Gallows, Amy

From gibberish-speaking creatures to the heartbreaking story of a star, this weekend is full of cinematic treats at Regal Atlantic Station!

A crazed spin-off film of Despicable Me, featuring the loveably awkward and cute Minions, should have been a sure bet from the first time audiences met the little guys. n their first feature-length adventure, aptly titled Minions, we learn the journey from the beginning of time to the 1960s as the little yellow guys, most notably three named Stuart, Kevin, and Bob, go on a search to find the most ruthless evil mastermind to serve. Scarlett Overkill becomes the nemesis they most admire and it’s a race for survival in posh London and other familiar locales to the very end. Featuring the voices of superstars like Sandra Bullock, Minions could easily become the family film hit of the summer. Missing the sentimental note that a film like Inside Out possesses, though, could hurt its chances in the long run.

While families will be packing the seats for Minions, a few adult-focused films will be hoping for a notice or two, as well. Ryan Reynolds stars in Self/less, a sci-fi thriller that isn’t receiving too many good remarks from critics, with many noting that the premise is promising, but the execution is lackluster.

Horror fans may be drawn to new flick The Gallows after its terrifying trailer debuted a few months ago. But, as is natural for scary films, critics are ripping apart the found-footage thrill ride. There are scares to be had here, but the film doesn’t quite live up to its pretentious plot.

And, lastly, but perhaps most notably, the documentary Amy is receiving high marks from critics and audiences worldwide. The film debuted at the Cannes Film Festival in May to a standing ovation. Following the rise and fall of Grammy award-winner Amy Winehouse, the film is eye-opening and troubling as you witness the star go from rebellious, good-natured teen, to a drug-addicted mess. While her music is mesmerizing, the journey to get there is terrifying and sad. This documentary is receiving lots of praise. Look for it to show up as a contender for next year’s Academy Award for Best Documentary.

What will you be seeing this weekend at Regal Atlantic Station? Document your cinematic adventure with #AtlanticStation on Instagram and Twitter!

Addazio doesn't like 7 on 7s

As football becomes a year round sport, 7 on 7 camps and drills are the go to set up for many offseasons. One football guy close to our hearts doesn't think too much of the trend. Last week in an interview with a Tennessee radio station Addazio talked about a variety of BC-related issues and eventually gets to the 7 on 7s. This is what he said:

"You don’t know how people really perform until you put them in those pressure situations, so I equate it to 7 on 7. To me, the 7 on 7 drill in football is kind of a joke. The quarterbacks are throwing, there is no threat of being sacked, or being hit, and there’s really not a heavy contact threat in the back end.”

His argument makes sense. 7 on 7s improve timing or passing routes, but tell you little.

Is it any wonder that Addazio feels so much is missing from 7 on 7s? He's made his living with good line play and running the ball. Both aspects are neutered in passing drills.

Once again, Addazio is a good interview and I like his honesty on the hot topics in college football.

Jet’s Pizza

Until recently I’d never tried Jet’s Pizza, a small chain out of Michigan with some locations around Atlanta. I’d never even heard of them until my brother told me about them, as there is one near his home in Smyrna. They have all kinds of pizza, but the square cut Detroit style is what we’re here to discuss. Specifically, the eight corner pizza with Turbo crust.

Eight corner means they split the pie into two halves so the edges are crispy on every piece. It’s the super greasy style bread that basically fries up in the pan, with the cheese seeping off the edge and getting crunchy and delicious, sort of frico style. The pizza is cooked hard and the pepperonis present excellent cuppage, almost burnt in a perfect way.

I won’t go on and on in detail, but it’s a glorious gut bomb, wrong in all the right ways – she’s a pie that’s fun to ride, but you wouldn’t want your CSA friends to see you on her.

Also, the driver texted me the photo at the bottom here when my pizza was en route. This guy is a marketing genius. Seriously – what a small thing to do to make your business and pizza stand out.

CFN's BC Preview and the challenges or BC's current roster

College Football News posted their BC preview and their roster breakdown. The preview is pretty straightforward and hits on most of what we know and expect. Reading the player piece was a bit more of a reminder of the challenges we face this season. CFN ranks BC's best players as Hilliman,Wujciak, Daniels, Kavalec, Simmons, Adbesmad, Williams, Alston, Willis and Moore. Going purely on their history, that is not an elite group of players. If those guys are really BC's best players, then we need to hope for a few breakout seasons.

Of CFN's best, a few might still become All-ACC players (Hilliman, maybe Alston, maybe Kavalec?). Hilliman will probably get plenty of carries and showed great potential last year. Alston is a playmaker in space. If BC can get him the ball in situations other than sweeps, he could also be elite. Kavalec will get plenty of chances to make plays on defense. He started strong last year before plateauing a bit. Let's hope he can make the jump.

A couple of guys showed moments of greatness in the past, but now face huge question marks due to injury (Williams and Adbesmad). I have a little more faith in Williams' return since his injury and recovery were fairly typical. I don't know what to expect from Adbesmad. Like Swigert, after so many setbacks, any production Addazio gets is a bonus.

The other guys -- Simmons, Willis, Wujciak, Daniels, and Moore -- are all likeable and productive players. Each will make a play or two over the course of the year that will win BC a game. BC has won for decades with guys like these. Yet on our best teams, I don't think any would have cracked the Top 10. This is where I feel like the downturn in talent/recruiting under Spaz finally shows itself. Spaz and his staff found plenty of "BC guys." But didn't find enough elite difference makers that you need to win a conference.

But the shallow preseason Top 10 doesn't mean that all hope is lost. I do believe in Addazio's young talent and think that plenty of recruits who didn't make the list will step up and have huge seasons.

Jackson signs new deal with Detroit

Congrats to Reggie Jackson on his reported $80 million deal with the Detroit Pistons. After he turned down a smaller extension with the Thunder, many questioned if he would ever get as good a deal elsewhere. Turning down the deal also led to the trade to Detroit and many wondering if Jackson was worth the money or the fuss. Fortunately for Reggie (and his fans), he played well in Detroit and is now part of the Pistons' plans going forward.
