Talking points: now, now, now edition

For anyone considering a career in the transactional practice of law to avoid those nasty litigation deadlines: every one of a transactional attorney's projects is due now.
Okay. There's this, from Tyler Smith, who was understandably thinking about last night's NBA draft:

"If you're in the top 13, you'll get at least $3 million. Late first round, $800,000 to $900,000, then you take taxes out, and I get myself a nice new car, and there's no money left."

So just what kind of car does Tyler (aside: hey, I just realized we can start calling him "Smith" now) have in mind?
And there's this: Josh Nunes' Upland High School is catching Big Orange fever: Parents wearing orange and power Ts, Tennessee fans planning a trip to Nunes' season-opener and "turning loose a bunch of orange and white balloons," and discussing the re-scheduling of a Labor Day practice so that the team could all watch the Tennessee-UCLA game.
Brian Williams has a new nickname: Da Neighborhood.
Inside Tennessee on the Best middle linebackers of the Fulmer Era.
And Brian's article/post on the zone stretch will take the rest of your day and will be worth every minute.

While they're at it,

Upland High could rename themselves to Tennessee High. Or Rocky Top High. I think it’d be a great fit.

If only we could think of new colors, a new team name and a new mascot for the school… ;)

Memo to (T.) Smith: It must be nice to turn down 0.9 mil just because it’s not enough. Wow. But on that front, I kinda like keeping the “T” in his name. Maybe “Power T” Smith would work.
