Player option implies that the contract (or some prorated part of it) is guaranteed if the player decides to “opt-in” on his option year on the deal. A mutual option is one in which the player and team must both agree to extend the deal by that one year (could be referred to as an “opt-in” by both parties). In a…

So then calling it a player option is a misnomer... right?

Opt-out implies it’s a mutual option: the team and the player must both agree for the contract to be extended that extra year. Player option implies that the team gets no say in if the contract is extended by that one year.

This is something that should be collectively bargained. In the NBA and MLB players get fully guaranteed contracts (with some team option or mutual option years on occasion) because their respective unions have worked hard to get as close to a fair deal as possible with the owners. The NFLPA is totally inept for so…

Clearly I have influenced this seller’s action. Whoever buys this thing can thank me for the discount later. I accept both gold stars (as in stickers) and kudos as currency.

Agreed. No red flags and the mods are close enough to OEM to feel good about. I bought a heavily modded subaru from someone and at this point the only issues are ones you’d expect from a 15 year old car. Granted this guy knew what he was doing but if someone wanted to take the time and email this seller about who did…

I wear ear plugs when I drive long distance. Between the road/door panel noise you mentioned aND the exhaust drone I can’t last more than an hour without ear plugs. It allows me to play the radio really loudly and not hurt my ears.

Not just you. I have a friend that used to drive a bug eye wrx and he sold it after a year because the seats gave him back problems. He had a long commute to work. I drive a bug eye and I don’t really have a problem with the seats. Even on long drives i don’t stop until i need gas. I’m a big guy and my friend is of…

That kind of honesty is rather endearing. Anthony Bennett seems alright to me.

What are you even talking about? Cueto and Moore were both better than Bumgarner in the DS. If Cueto had gone against Syndergaard your shitty team probably still would have lost. Missing 2 of their 3 best pitchers firmly removes the Mets from anywhere close to “well rounded” status. Sour grapes indeed. However I do…

Okay fair enough. How about a ride though? I live in Dallas. It’s easy enough to get here. Alternatively, I am capable of travel as well. But seriously where would I get a shot at seeing one of these in person?

Will you buy me one? I’m a little short on cash at the moment. It’s gorgeous.

That’s not how TIFIA funding works. You clearly don’t know how this project went down so either educate yourself or butt the fuck out.

Except for the part where the State of Texas recommended that the southern most (sections 5 & 6 as stated in the write-up under which we’re commenting) part of the toll road not be built. How is it gaming the system if you say “Hey, this part down here, it’s not going to work. You shouldn’t build it and they shouldn’t…

The idea that this will be controversial is just silly to me. Jerry probably ought to keep his mouth shut but since we know he’s incapable of that I guess I just have to agree with what he said. Romo is a multi-time pro bowl QB and when he’s healthy easily a top 5 QB without question. As long as they don’t rush him…

LOL right on. I live in Dallas. The fans around here were so hateful towards Romo until that 12-4 season 2 years ago. Then all of a sudden everyone thinks he’s a good QB even though he’s the only reason the team won games before Demarco had a full healthy season.

I am as well. It’s really nice to have a road that takes me directly from the far north of Austin directly to COTA or to the far south of town to get me down to San Antonio. I have some family in Dripping Springs and even though that’s southwest of town it’s faster to take 130 to get past the nasty traffic before…

That last sentence is why it’s an abject failure. As much truck traffic as 35 gets it’s nothing compared to the overcrowding from the commuter traffic. Building a road to enable 2% of the traffic to circumvent the other 98% is a pretty stupid idea. Unless you’re that 2%, which I usually am. So I rather enjoy using it.

That last part is why it was built. What they failed to take into account (I’m guessing) is that the population of Austin, sprawling as it is, lives nowhere close to the toll road and therefore can’t use it. There is plenty of truck traffic up and down 35 but it is a drop in the bucket compared to the traffic of the…
