I think the non-guaranteed contracts is really the root cause. Because their salaries are not guaranteed, most free agents will try to get their’s as much as possible, at the same time screwing the rest of the team.

Yeah, because heaven forbid someone should periodically have the same option that the teams have: Considering whether or not compensation and working conditions are aligned with performance... Those fucking players, man!

Baseball doesn’t have a salary cap and beloved players still leave teams. At least in a salary cap league it’s not a case of who has more money based on where their team is located.

This is a major reason why I hate salary caps. Revolving door rosters do nothing to promote fan loyalty, and rivalries that anchor deep in your gut and make you commit to your team like a moral centre rather than just a byproduct of a geographical accident. Dez Bryant is one of the many reasons you can dislike or hate…

6. The “don’t make me choke slam you through a table”: Closing your eyes and stopping literally everything you’re doing until the other person shuts up.

Typically the general advice is:

1. Contribute to your 401k at the minimum level to get the maximum your company matches
2. Invest additional funds into your IRA, because you typically have more control over how they are invested.
3. If you max out your IRA, funds past that go into the 401k
4. If you manage to max out a…

To me, it means having the choice to work for a living or not work. A lot of the FI/RE people who brag about retiring in their 30s and 40s after living on pennies and fumes for a decade are often (and charitably interpreting, unintentionally) misleading their audience.

He ran the ball because he didn’t want to become the next Pete Carroll.

here is the problem with the clement catch. find a football. hold it chest high with two hands as if you just caught a pass. now transition it to cradling it near your waist with one hand as if you were running with it. it is completely impossible to do that while keeping one hand on the ball at all times.

I don’t think you want to punch a guy in court. It sets a really bad precedent, and it wouldn’t surprise me if the judge drops the hammer on the guy for doing that.

You say CONGRATS.. but you realize you just gave the government a free 12 year loan?!?!? What a misconception - refund = good! You should break even - or even owe some money... that way - it works in YOUR favor...

The XFL: Now With Completed Passes (Maybe)

Which was a bigger waste of cash: the XFL or Linda’s Senate campaign?

No, everyone will get something and the old and sick won’t be dying in the streets because that’s what’s coming in the republican’s America. Redistribution is not a dirty word, it is good social policy. Too bad if the rich have to settle for $100 dollar bottles of wine instead of $10,000 ones.

Luckily, I still have 5 years until 40, so if I literally spend $0 in three of those years, I should definitely have 3X my salary saved up by then.

I’m sorry I ruined your day

Health care is also my biggest worry

It’s not cheating if it’s her job. If he doesn’t like it he can leave or she can quit if she wants to. Sex work is work.

100k! Lol, I didn't even know credit card limits went that high. Well, even if you did ding your report, it'll only last 6 months, apparently. In the long run, it's supposed to actually improve your score.

I've always considered an increased credit line or "too many" accounts as an investment in my future credit score. While the short term hard pull looks bad, if you aren't making any financing purchases within 6 months, the net gain is worth the temporary hit. Obviously, it is a good thing to be aware of, since just…
