Not really a basketall fan, but really want the Warriors to win, so that we can get an on the plane Coco performance with the trophy.

Jesus, you people are really re-writing the definition of “adequate”.

It’s why the phrase “guilty pleasure” was invented.

And yet, I still hold out hope that he ups it to 6 games. Just for the lulz.

Has their quality gone downhill lately? I have a bunch of shirts and shorts of theirs (strictly for gym wear) that are 5 years old and they still look great. And I’ve worn them weekly since I bought them. Way more durable than any Nike or Adidas stuff I’ve had along the way.

Their first products were compression shirts and shorts to be worn under football pads. It was a name that described their product. Doesn’t really fit so well now, but made a lot more sense 20 years ago.

I think “Raiders” might be the key explanatory variable in that one.

One Friday at work I once mentioned that I love to eat peanut butter straight out of the jar with a spoon. Said that eating a 500 gram (little over a pound) jar was no problem. I was asked if I could eat 3. As I contemplated a pot was collected and so in an attempt to win 2k, I tried. I had an hour. I ate the first…

So much worse. He was marrying off his daughter. Some poor bastard now has Peter King as his father in law. On the plus side, Greg Bedard took over MMQB and there was no drop off in the insufferableness.

I don’t think that there is a genetic component that preclude high athletic achievement and civil behaviour. It seems much more likely that the athletically gifted are allowed to behave poorly because of their talents. That society is quite willing to look the other way as long as they catch the ball, or run fast or…

I now know why you didn’t make it to the big leagues. Things just seem to go over your head.

Urschel’s point is basically that coaches will keep doing a dumb thing because owners and fans are dumb.

Wait, what? Why?

When my daughter was born, I looked at her and said “She looks like Brian Dennehy”. She got cuter, later.

I look at it pretty simply. You sign a contract as an employee for 2000 hours per year, at let’s say 100k (to keep the math simple). So that’s $50 per hour. If you work 500 hours above that (or 10 hour days), I’d expect cash compensation of at least 25k. Anything less and you are getting screwed, because you are…

I’d say that about any company, regardless of industry, that regularly expects people to work more hours than they agreed to when hired without additional pay.

Despite the wage theft, they’re a great employer!

A cousin of mine toured with BB King a few years ago as an opening act. He said he was incredibly kind and humble.

Just because you have a thin layer of subcutaneous fat on your stomach doesn’t mean your abs aren’t being pushed out by a load of visceral fat in your abdomen. At 200 pounds with 24% bf, you’re carrying nearly 50 pounds of fat. That’s not insignificant, and it has to be somewhere. 170 pounds would put you around 10%…

If the nickname is shit, you must acquit!
