Bauer sexual assault accuser indicted for fraud

An Arizona woman who accused Trevor Bauer of sexual assault was indicted by a grand jury last month on felony charges of fraudulent schemes and theft by extortion.

Wonder if the Braves will take a flyer on Bauer with Strider shelved for the next 2 seasons potentially.

I was at Kroger today and I came across filters for the central heat & air that’s to be replaced every 3 months or so. The kind I buy and use was priced at $27.99 and I almost lost my ever loving mind on seeing that priced so high. I use to pay like only $12.00 for those only a couple of months ago.

Is the audio commentary saying what I think it's saying?

Maybe that could be a nickname other teams use when referring to Lindsey Nelson Stadium. It could be as memorable as Clemson's Death Valley.

I don’t pay $12 for filters at Ace Hardware. Maybe try there if you have one.

Braves are once again leading the league in BA, OBP, SLG, and OPS. This is even with Acuña off to an extremely slow start.

3 or 4 years old I bought 2 washable filters that have more than paid for themselves. Once a month put 1 in, clean the other.

That stupid assine price of $27.99 (for one) has got to be a big mistake/error in pricing.
They want be selling too many of those at that terrible ridiculous price.

Some interesting comments on the Falcons/Belichick in this espn article

Inside Bill Belichick's failed offseason job hunt

As the NFL has moved on from this year's firing-and-hiring cycle, two questions remain: Why is Bill Belichick suddenly and seemingly unemployable? And will he coach again?

www.espn.com

Despite that friendly first session, the unthinkable happened for a billionaire and a legendary coach: Blank and Belichick checked each other's references. Blank spoke by phone, at least twice, to Robert Kraft. Among the NFL owners, Blank considers Kraft his closest friend. Publicly, Kraft and Blank have said Kraft expressed only support and offered praise of his former coach.

But in a conversation with Blank, Kraft delivered a stark assessment of Belichick's character, according to a source who spoke to two people: a close Kraft friend and a longtime Belichick confidant. The source quoted the Belichick source as saying, "Robert called Arthur to warn him not to trust Bill." That account was backed up, the source said, by the close Kraft friend.

Multiple sources said that Kraft spoke with "some candor" to Blank about Belichick, though the sources declined to elaborate. One source close to Belichick said Kraft "was a big part" of why the Falcons passed on hiring him.

The sources said Kraft made clear to Blank that "you'll never have a warm conversation with" Belichick, echoing what Bill Parcells told Kraft in 1996 when he wanted to bust the budget and hire Belichick. "Blank likes coaches who feel part of a family," a Falcons source said, "and it wasn't going to be that way with Bill."

On the morning of Jan. 25, Blank and executives interviewed a final candidate, Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik. The meeting went 90 minutes longer than scheduled. They liked him but were worried about losing out on Morris, who was due to interview with the Seahawks. After Slowik left, Blank and the Falcons execs compared notes. Morris was the unanimous first choice. The team then discussed alternatives if they couldn't hire Morris. In that straw poll, Ravens defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald, eventually hired by the Seahawks, was the second choice. Slowik finished third.
