VATICAN CITY, March 13 (Reuters) - Pope Leo suggested on Friday that Christian political leaders who start wars should go to confession and assess whether they are following the teachings ‌of Jesus, without naming any specific leaders or conflicts.

"Do those Christians who bear grave responsibility in armed conflicts have the humility and courage to make a serious examination of conscience and to go to confession?" the pope asked in a speech ⁠to priests.

The joke is on the pope.  Jesus 2 is coming soon

Can't wait for JD to "Well, actually" the Pope on this one.

Time to spend a few million.....A few of that $800 million they have in the bank....(that is $24 millon in interest alone)

A wise investment if required....

Shaka can donte a million to....After all....He is the one who screwed this up.....

Huh??  "800 m in the bank"?  I'm lost.

My gut feeling is the streak will continue.  Although I would think they'll roll Whisky today.

Wisconsin's the best team in the country, at least according to one person here.

Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on Today at 12:54:14 AMFeels like you're making a lot of excuses for Wojo. A lot of what if's and context, which can be fair at times.

But you're certainly not doing the same for Shaka.

No, I'm not, because what happened to Wojo with a poor year 1 roster that at one point didn't have enough players to run 5-on-5 practices is what happened to Shaka in year 5 when he finally had a roster completely of his own construction.

In addition, the staff and admin were adamant that this was their path to success, which led to RGV basically becoming a toxic phrase because it symbolized what looked like a stubborn adherence to a failing model.

I'm heartened that Shaka is admitting he was wrong about their roster build and talent identification, even if not saying it in so many words. I'm hopeful that he will turn things around and am more than willing to support efforts to modernize our roster building approach, which I did not believe he would do 2 months ago but am now convinced he will.

But regardless, no one gets two seasons like this past year. No one. We aren't DePaul or Butler where you can scrape along stacking losing seasons. Even Providence fired Kim after two losing seasons.

If this happens again, it won't be me putting Shaka on the hot seat, it'll be Shaka putting Shaka on the hot seat. I'd also admit that in an era where you can flip an entire roster and culture in one offseason, I'm less inclined to support prolonged failure. What used to take 2-4 years a decade ago can now be accomplished in weeks of savvy portal recruiting. So no, I'm not as patience with this as I once was.

Who has $800 million in the bank?

And oh boy. Another poster thinking a "losers tax" is appropriate.
