I’m sure he has! I didn’t say I think it is a good idea.

Right. It’s probably more of a baseball thing than Trout in particular. A falling tide lowers all fish.

As I replied above, while he’s a nice guy who’s really into the weather and the Eagles, I just don’t see him as a great pitchman for anything he doesn’t already personally care about. That in no way diminishes how glad I am that he plays for the Angels.

In all fairness I live in NYC now so I don’t know exactly how much exposure he gets on local TV. But in interviews I’ve seen he just seems like a nice guy who is totally focused on baseball (and friends/family, I’m sure). Nothing wrong with that, I just don’t see him as much of a pitch-man* or spokesperson for…

It is kindof funny that the two teams in the second-biggest market in the country, and (arguably) the entertainment capital of the world, have possibly the two best players in the game (Kershaw and Trout) and their personalities are both about as marketable as a sack of potatoes. And I say this as an Angels fan of 20+…

So I’ll play devil’s advocate and answer the question - because the interviewer thinks someone on an opposing team might say something similar during a game to get a rise and draw a penalty.

And many more might precipitate more actively in their fandom.

The first TJ’s was started by an actual guy named Joe in Pasadena, CA in the 60s. The Aldis didn’t buy it till much later.

that’s something that can be concluded simply by looking at its chemical composition.

I’m guessing that those working in the service industry are just as honest, on average, as the rest of the population.

The justification for the rich paying more taxes is not limited to the fact that they use more resources. If that were true, there would be no tax revenue left over for social security, Medicare/Medicaid, food stamps, or any other form of social safety net.

As others have said, it’s a cut of beef, not a style of barbecue (or anything else). I believe the reason many butchers do not carry it is because a tri tip is made up of part of three other common cuts, so creating one comes at cost of having the other three in stock (assuming you are working from a single side of…

Don’t forget about curling rinks.

If they’re not going to do that, what the hell is U.S. Figure Skating claiming to spend their money on (other than lining the pockets of board members)?

Sounds like you’re well on your way to tasting freedom (along with most of us, probably): https://www.menshealth.com/health/5-ways-you-shorten-your-life-every-day.

¡Que lastima! (not that I’d trade a gold medal for a tweet).

Right. It doesn’t take a majority or even large minority of people like that for the behavior to perpetuate - just enough for a few of them to rise to positions where they can exercise power over someone else. And would anyone be surprised to find out that the same people who are more likely to rise to power are also…

Time to scour the family tree; the 2022 Hungarian (or Greek, Sudanese, Venezualan, etc.) national team may have an opening.

Yes and no. Uber Driver, while respectable, is more of a job/vocation, not a “career,” which I think of as something with some reasonably difficult bar to entry, long-term stability, prospects for promotion/salary increases, etc. Being a nurse is a respectable profession, and I think realtor is probably somewhere in…

Maybe the training videos are the problem? I worked at TJs for three years (about 15 years ago) and I never had to watch one of those videos.
