I don’t think that’s true, but whatever

I would wonder to what degree that was also a result of getting to work with her husband.

On A-Rod’s first 10 year deal he FAR exceeded it. His second, no so much but that’s the difference between signing 34 year olds and 26 years olds to 10 year deals. This isn’t rocket science man.

So help me God if the left loses the moral high ground of defending labor to Tucker fucking Carlson.

The total value of the life of the deal, the player’s value is higher than his salary.

That’s not what I said. Obviously the highest value players in the league are ones on rookie deals because their salaries are artificially suppressed. You, however, can’t just sign those guys because they’re not allowed to be subjected to a market which is why free agents cost more. What I said was guys regularly…

They didn’t include “owners can collude to suppress star salaries” in the CBA. It just happened. Though we would agree in the next CBA they would deal with the salaries of younger players. I suppose we’ll see. Your other point about 10 year contracts honestly isn’t true in most cases. I don’t have time to do the math…

That’s a lot of words to say don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. Analytics can provide us with an estimate of the wins added by a given player. They can also tell us the market value of wins. Even players on those 10 year deals, more often than not, exceed those. Their objective value is quantifiable and…

Buddy, maybe move out of Duluth or wherever you are. I moved to New York making 30k ten years ago. I lived in Brooklyn, had 2 roommates, and no student debt. My budget was $8 a day after expenses like rent and utilities etc. Also, that $8 had to include all of my food as well.

Maybe. Maybe coaches linked to NFL jobs should be transparent with their recruits. Ultimately neither of those would matter if the system weren’t designed to only punish the student for not behaving as you’d prefer.

To be clear I’m totally fine with the coach leaving as well. I think virtually anyone in the same position would behave identically. The issue is that the rules only apply to the person not drawing a paycheck.

Whether or not you think Kingsbury is that big of a deal is kind of irrelevant. He did, and he based a huge life decision on it and is now being dicked over. That he’s potentially willing to lose a year of eligibility is indicative of how much Kingsbury was a deciding factor.

The crowds at MSG were not as big but were way more enthusiastic than Knicks crowds.

It’s funny, I think I came to the same conclusion and just decided, well fuck it now. Selig and Larussa getting in were the last straws for me. If these 2 limp dick degenerates, who benefitted from the steroid era more than any individual player, could get in then I can’t look at Bonds and say no.

Of the people who didn’t get in, Andruw Jones was better than all of them except Bonds, Clemens, and Manny. Fight me.

Do you have any misgivings about the steroid guys who are already in? Honestly curious

So we’re just doing the red Gruden joke on every image now?
