It's Friday and it's Friday the 13th, so what better day to write a new edition of "Around the Board," where I take a few original posts in threads found on the first few pages of the Inside the 40 Acres board and give my own thoughts. I figured that on such a spooky day, we may find ourselves discussing some hair-raising topics. Thanks to all the original posters of these topics for helping round out this week of the Short.
Before you know it, we're going to have actual practices and a critical 2018 fall camp to cover ...
Briles to Waco High? by @No Avatar
I first started hearing about this yesterday when Matt Stepp of DCTF dropped a few nebulous hints about the Waco High opening that seemed to point to Briles. Since, he's been the only true "reporter" I've heard of who is espousing the insanely idiotic idea that Briles, a vile criminal and well-known sack of human excrement, should have influence once again over developing young (much less high school) minds. The person breaking the news in the tweet linked above is a Baylor minion and a moron who does not work in the media and is simply a fan of puny, dirty Baylor University. The same can be said for the miscreant dolt who was tagged in the tweet, who the user cited as the first to report this scoop. Let's just say I'll believe this when I see it from a news outlet that actually exists. With this said, I find it unbelievable that there are people in the thread saying that this is all on the up-and-up and that eventually Briles will need a second chance. I say people deserve second chances, but only once contrition is achieved and responsibility for your actions taken. Second chances come once debts to society are paid. Briles is 62 years old and is an unrepentant, hell-bound curmudgeon. As I said in the thread, if my child was a student at that school and the idea of Briles coming in as HC was even ever broached by school leadership, we'd file transfer papers that day, whether I had a son or a daughter. They are all potential victims of his.
Pride is a Biotch by @DallasKid
I've been telling my wife this ever since I heard the news that T.O. was going to skip his HOF induction because he is being a petulant child about not getting in at the exact moment he and many others expect he should/deserved to. The fact is that I understand the frustration and understand that Owens might not like the way the voters spoke about him behind closed doors or there reasoning for not voting him in earlier when precedent indicated he should basically be a first-ballot lock. This is the epitome of cutting off your nose to spite your face. The fraternity Owens is joining is one of the most special in the world and none of those players he'll be associated with through those halls for eternity had anything to do with his cockamamie balloting process among the media voters. That induction ceremony is potentially a Top 5 moment in life that Owens is, in effect, robbing himself of. The title of the thread is absolutely right. Pride can be a mean, mean bitch and it might take T.O. years to realize it, but he will.

Give me the novel any day. I understand that people have differing views about this, though. Whenever I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket letting me know I have a text, I always wait another 4-5 seconds or so to see if a flurry is coming my way or whether it is a single. If I get another, I know many more are coming and it is my radio co-host Byron texting me with 100% certainty. I don't have anything against reading the multiple responses together and making them into one on my own, I just don't like my phone to keep buzzing (or worse, beeping) over and over and over.

Is there any real answer besides Little Nicky?
Sucky movies that continue to suck despite acclaim by @SnakeEarl
Along the same lines, is there any answer other than the travesty that was Manchester by the Sea?
Sick WSOP Main Event Hand ... by @McLovin327
1) Kings are nearly impossible to get away from unless you have a raise in early position then another big re-raise in front of you. I think it's awfully hard to get off that hand.
2) What would have made it all the sicker is if homeboy would have back-doored a flush somehow to crack the aces (in a way that didn't pair the board to cause the boat of course).
Have a great weekend, Orangebloods.
