GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
I lost my contact... not that it matters since I'm Duke's quarterback.
The Wizard of Odds brings us this entertaining story about Duke football, justice, and the American way: Duke backs out of a scheduled four-game series with Louisville after the first game, causing the Cardinals to sue for the buyout money.
The buyout stipulated that Duke had to pay $150k for each voided game if a "team of similar stature" could not be lined up as a replacement, and here comes the catch for Louisville. Duke's lawyers argued the 6-45 Blue Devils sucked so badly that virtually any football team would be of "similar stature" and the buyout was unenforceable.
The judge agreed:
"At oral argument, Duke (with a candor perhaps more attributable to good legal strategy than to institutional modesty) persuasively asserted that this is a threshold that could not be any lower. Duke's argument on this point cannot be reasonably disputed by Louisville."Duke sucks: now a valid legal precedent. What a country!
