Sometimes you make selections to fit a theme or out of the joy and/or spite in your heart. Then there are those selections you intend to weaponize.

With one category, the M.A.D. Cats will accomplish two things. First, we guarantee unyielding loyalty from an entire generation of English speakers to do with as we please. And second, we harness this man's supernatural power to make people confess to their crimes despite absolutely no hard evidence against them.

Lawyer: Ben Matlock

The Seattle Sockeyes are also going lawyer here. Our pick comes from a show with an absolutely ridiculous premise, but managed to be reasonably entertaining, at least for a while. I don't know how the series ended; we never finished it. :laugh:

Our guy is an Ivy League alum, who also happens to have a fantastic record and whiskey collection. He also has some experience as a prosecutor even though he made his name in corporate law.

Welcome to the Seattle Sockeyes, Harvey Specter! Note that he comes rocking the Sockeyes' franchise fashion style: a fitted two piece suit.

@BernieParent, if you had a photographic memory, would you waste it on becoming a lawyer?

I'm not joking when I say that taking everything into consideration, that is one of the worst shows in the history of television by any standards. That has nothing to do with your pick, just with the show.

“The category requesting selection of a Franchise ‘Babe’ left the owners of the Tampa Bay FireSticks in bafflement for a long time. On the surface it seemed like an antiquated belittlement of women; however, we were confident that this league and its owners are not aligned with this type of outdated thinking. We looked deeper into the consideration of a woman whose charm and beauty were of a historical significance. We, therefore, select as our Franchise Babe, Bathsheba.

DP-17059-001.jpg

“According to the accounts of the prophet Samuel and the First Book of Kings, King David of Israel was oddly in his palace during the time when kings were usually with their armies at war. While wandering around one night on his palace roof, he saw a beautiful woman bathing. David sent his servants to bring her to him, she stayed the night, and became pregnant.

“Bathsheba wasn’t just any random hottie; she was the daughter of Eliam and, more importantly to this story, wife of Uriah the Hittite, likely two of David’s elite guards. David compounded his sin by trying to trick Uriah into sleeping with Bathsheba, but Uriah – ever the loyal soldier – wouldn’t return home while they are at war. So David sent an order to his general that Uriah be put in the front lines and abandoned in the heat of battle. As expected, Uriah was killed, and the now widowed Bathsheba moved into the palace.

“David, the greatest king of Israel and a man after God’s own heart, had many wives at the time but chose to do these terrible things. Nathan the prophet tore a strip off David for his sinfulness and foretold that the baby would die. David repented and he prayed and fasted for the baby, who died nonetheless.

“But this wasn’t the end of Bathsheba’s story. She became the mother of the next king, Solomon, and was a wise counsel to him amid a whole lot of family bloodshed and turmoil. She was a woman of faith and courage that revealed her true nature much better than simply her beauty.”

Let's find out what's on @Rebels57's mind.

Why would a lawyer need a photographic memory? It’s not like he’s an investigator. Everything relevant to the case is provided to him, and it’s up to the evidence and his power of speech to swing the evidence one way or another.
