Baker Mayfield "alleged" Side Chick Spills The Tea


"...“We were texting for a while and then finally he was like ‘come see me.’ I drove all the way to Westlake, it was like behind Cheesecake factory at some development parking lot. He texted me on the way there saying I have to keep my phone in the car. I was kind of sketched — if this really isn’t him, I have to keep my phone in the car. "
Dingess said she approached a “large SUV,” finding out it was Mayfield. “I got in the front and he said are we going to do this or not?… After I left he texted me you’re actually a really cool person but you can’t say anything, like it’ll ruin my career.."

Any benefits/HR people here?

I have a question that I'm struggling to find the answer for on the internets and am hoping there is someone that can point me in the right direction.

I've been covered through COBRA since I quit my job about a year ago. I recently accepted a full-time position again with benefits. My start date is Feb. 3.

Everything has been taken care of, I've made my new elections, have medical coverage through my employer. I'm technically covered since Feb 3.

Earlier this week I called to cancel my COBRA coverage. There wasn't any place for me to do it through the website. They told me to send an email to a certain address stating some personal information, what coverage I want cancelled (everything, in my case) and the effective date. (an email to cancel coverage? Amateur hour....)

Here is what has me flustered - I can only drop coverage on the last day of the month. I've been covered for all but the first two days of February, but I have to pay for the full month through COBRA. I also have to pay for 27 days of February through my new employer.

I'm irked that I have to pay for double coverage. Doing so is going to cost me an extra $300. Can I demand that my previous coverage pay me back to Feb. 3? Or at least refund me for the days between my email cancellation and the end of the month? Do I have any recourse?

Internet options in Ames

Mediacom just jacked my internet by $30/month because my "promotional rate" of $60 (lol) expired, so my next expected bill is a ridiculous $92. I called them and they will not agree to take it back to the $60 price.

I checked century link and their top speed is 1.5 mbps. Are there any good options for internet other than mediaconjob? Speed and reliability is a must.

Former WV Coach Holgorsen Sued For Allegedly Owing Back Rent..

https://www.wsaz.com/content/news/F...gedly-owing-back-rent-and-fees-563799201.html

The lawsuit says the day the lease was signed for the Cheat Lake home, Dana Holgorsen agreed by text message to pay the rent.

It says the home was rented to Candice Holgorsen for $2,500 a month, that back rent is owed for July and August 2019 and nearly $20,000 is owed for cleaning and repairs.

Unprofessional..:rolleyes:

PHOTO GALLERY

Happy Friday!

Here is my photo gallery! I finally got it done. Sorry it took me so long. This might be the biggest one I've had.

https://cyclonefanatic.com/2020/02/photo-gallery-cyclones-vs-panthers-2/

I'll make a separate post here soon with links to everything I've posted this week if you've missed anything!
As usual let me know if you guys need anything from me! Or just let me know any feedback from the gallery!

Haliburton NBA

I love Tyrese and absolutely think he should go if his stock remains so high...

But what on earth are these scouts watching? There are ZERO NBA- ready guys on this roster. If Tyrese is only as good as the sum of the teams parts, that's fine, he'll be solid on an NBA team... but is that seriously what NBA teams are looking for in picks 1-13?

He isn't good enough to be a game changer, clearly enough, and I'd think that's what teams with lottery picks are looking for

ISF Diamond Jack's Tax Evasion Charges

https://www.desmoinesregister.com/s...facing-felony-tax-evasion-charges/4813926002/

KCCI and others have story on this too if you don't want to read the Rag's version. I was just there last week for a dinner event at the Iowa Beef Expo so this is a bit surprising as this place has been a staple on the fairgrounds for a long time. Apparently part of this is from concession sales at the Clay County Fair too which if anyone has been to that knows it is basically like a smaller version of the state fair as it is not your average size Iowa county fair.

Apparently all the buildings on the state fairgrounds are owned by the state fair then leased to concession owners so my guess is Diamond Jack's won't be closed permanently but just reassigned to new operators. That place is right next to the Iowa Craft Beer Tent that usually has a lot of live music during the state fair so it's probably a very lucrative place that there will be no shortage of people wanting to operate it.

Notable Posts: January '20

This year, I’ve redefined the monthly feature from “Posts of the Month” to “Notable Posts." It isn't possible to see all the best comments, and even a lot of good ones I don't get around to documenting.

As is customary, anything good I missed, add it to the thread.If you encounter an especially amusing comment, feel free to PM me.

Here we go. Some posts edited for brevity or clarity.

@woodm07: So did dinner.
jpete24: That was quick. What did you eat? Rattler?


From “ISU-KU game day thread”
@atlantacyclone: Just curious, have we ever been down 20 to KU at the half?
@demoncore1031: Yes. We are down 20 to KU at the half right now.

@Stewo: Pizza man shows up. Woman has zero dollars. Pizza man isn’t leaving until he gets compensated. What’s there to hear?
@JM4CY: Whether or not she swallowed the tip.

From “Minutes of Your Life You’ll Want Back”

Pants: God Damn it Dirty, read the rules!

@Dingus: I spent 4 hours at a city council meeting the other day to have them... table the issue for another day. First guy to get up to comment was a disheveled bearded man with a T shirt with a message spelled out in electrical tape wearing a dress that appeared to be a curtain. And I thought “Yep, that pretty much nails it.”

@BCClone: Showering. A car freshener as a necklace saves time.


From "2020 football slogan
@JM4CY: I was hoping for “A QB Sneak is Brewing” but this will do.



A lot of good posts came from the mailbags this time. Here’s a sample

@Cy$ : Ask us questions. I'd be glad to talk about my ankle injury and my tetris championship preparations.
@Angie: Did you hurt your ankle playing Tetris?

****
@SCyclone: As Iowa State's athletic director, you have to hire a basketball coach. You have two choices - Steve Alford, or Fran McCaffery. Who do you hire?
@CoKane: I’d answer it with a bullet through my skull.

***
@ImJustKCClone (to @Cy$): Son, I worry about you sometimes...
@Cy$: I'll take "Things my mom says every day" for $100, Alex.

***
@CloniesForLife: When are you going to get Doc as a guest speaker? I enjoy his takes.
@Doc: Guest speaker?They doing podcasts now?

***
@Cyched : How much cheese is too much cheese?
@GTO: When you’re dry-freezing the cheese, grinding it into a powder, and then snorting it off the back of some five dollar prostitute. Probably time to stop and seek help.

(Week of 1-15)
@BCClone: If you were to become an animal, what would you choose?
@Angie: A gloster canary. They look magnificent. And everyone would take me seriously. Like a member of the early-era Beatles.

And my personal favorite:
From mailbag (week of 1-29)
@coolerifyoudid: Will @cyclones500 get his question in before the deadline?
