Not really. There is much more to this story, I am willing to bet.

How many major league managers do you think cheat on their wives? How many get caught? Hell, I bet there are even divorces over this very thing. I bet those guys went right on managing before and after their divorce. These guys are on the road a lot and are celebrities. Opportunities and temptations are there. Many have given in to these temptations and lost their marriage because of it. Hell, Billy Martin was married 4 times and had a long term mistress during his third marriage, a mistress that became his fourth wife. And he managed through it all with no need to call a press conference to apologize to his wife. Let's look at exactly what Washington said:

"... Today, I'm at a very low time in my life. I'm sorry for breaking the trust that I had with my wife and for disappointing my players, for disappointing my coaches, disappointing Major League Baseball and for disappointing the Texas Rangers."

Why the hell is he apologizing for disappointing his players and coaches, who probably a pretty good number of are sexing it up on the road while away from their wife? Why the F does he owe the Rangers or MLB an apology for a personal relationship failing?

I think this is a planned preemptive strike against the rumored allegations, stating publicly that it was a consensual affair and apologizing to his wife to possibly attack the credibility of the rumored accuser.

Really, why else would he have this very very weird press conference to apologize for something that isn't anyone's business but he and his wife's?

Very strange and doesn't pass the smell test.

That's what I think, too. He may have a lawsuit coming and is, oddly, trying to look like a one-time cheater, family man type. Like the preacher guy that said he just sniffed it a few times and didn't hit it....

Did he ever mention "consensual", though? He did lay some ground work, yesterday, but he stopped short of getting into details like this. Definitely agree that there is more to come from this story.

It's not the shooting of the load, it's how the load got shot and what led up to that load shooting moment.

Details, my friend.

Again, no reason to publicly call yourself a cheater and publicly embarrass the one on which you cheated unless it is a strategic move, plain and simple.

And yes, I have trust issues... 😉

      I'll be there. How is everyone feeling as we enter conference play? Overall I'm feeling good. We are 2nd in NET in the conference. The two best publicly available models, KenPom and Bart Torvik, have us as the 2nd best team in conference and finishing that way. Our defense has been really good; it's actually better than last season. The biggest improvement is in the defensive rebounding. We are pulling down 74.8% of defensive boards compared to 68% last year. Of course the team isn't without concerns. Although we start the same lineup every game, we haven't found a consistent closing one. There isn't a 'go to' scorer. The shot creation and/or shooting has been lacking in long stretches. So far our adjusted offensive efficiency is the lowest it's been since the 2019 season, but I don't think (hope) it will necessarily stay that way. I'd be disappointed if we don't finish at least top 4 in conference. The conference, as others have noted in many threads, just isn't as good as last season. Last season there were 4 other teams in the top 100 of KenPom and 7 in the top 150. This season there are 2 other teams in the top 100 and 5 in the top 150. Last year in conference we played 3 Q1 games and 5 Q2 games; this year we're projected to play 1 Q1 game and 3 Q2 games. A top 4 finish in conference means that we would need to win 3 games in Ft. Worth to go to the big dance. That's always the dream. The NIT as the consolation prize wouldn't be bad either. Could we host a NIT game again? Last year Indiana St., Princeton, and Bradley hosted opening round games. That would be a fun atmosphere.

      You have to consider many of these are the only entertainment option in town. Fargo, ND vs Denton. The entire state of ND follows the Bison.

      Is it just me or is Eric Morris destined for great things?

      It's just you bro. Same reason why you supported McCarney's #Hit6 campaign. The bar is in Hell.
