I agree completely -- there’s no reason for anyone in a company other than the HR or Legal department to stay in contact with an employee terminated for-cause.  I’ve had to terminate people for various reasons, and the last thing I would do is continue to debate after the dismissal was complete.  No good and a lot of…

Nothing good can come from a confrontational interaction, no.

Griezmann’s announcement is worth about four words, even to the most diehard footy fan:

I think he’s trolling pretty much...everyone.

I’ve heard plenty of Manchester United supporters saying that they’d be happy with a straight swap for José Mourhino.

Forever is a mighty long time.

Naw they would have just resorted to cannibalism.

Space travel. It came naturally, as a child of NASA employees hailing from Cocoa Beach, Florida, but it has never left me. The nice thing about being a kid from down there is that I got to see all of the Saturn V’s launch, and it was not at all uncommon to meet an astronaut around town. Cocoa Beach was a really small…

Golf and tennis are solo sports - a lone prodigy can raise the sport’s profile significantly

The only real flaw in your theory is that Chelsea’s board and management decide player matters. That was an issue with Mourhino, and certainly one with Conte, who did not want Matic sold.

I’m not sure it’s ever gotten out of the single digits.

Reviews are pretty much subjective by definition.

One thing Kyle Jackson doesn’t say is that he taught in Wake County, easily one of the richest in the state — and one where the county government contributes an ever-increasing margin. If 29-35 kids in a class is the norm, what are things like in resource strapped areas?

By rule, the race cars are required to have three stock parts from the manufacturer including the roof, the hood, and the trunk lid. In other words, nothing important that the buyer can see on the track and get in the showroom.

Soccer leagues around the world don’t have playoffs at all, and soccer is the most popular sport in the world.

As a Carolina fan, seeing a battle between the last two coaches to take our team to the playoffs (and also once each to the Stanley Cup Finals) is rather intriguing. It’s like watching your buddies playing each other — I am not sure who to root for.

Odessa-Midland International is a commercial airport that has Southwest, United and...you guessed it...American Airlines serving it. It is about halfway between Albuquerque and Dallas.

I dunno, they have a real king, not some wannabe who rules by Twitter.

You sound a bit like the folks who claim to love vinyl because it is “experiential.”

Jeter is turning into the Michael Jordan of baseball: great player, head completely up his own arse as an owner.
