If everything is untaxed then $1,000,000 is available to earn interest off of. By investing in, say, Verizon one could make about $50,000/year pre-tax assuming Verizon’s stock price doesn’t tank (VZ is one of those fairly-high-dividend stocks that has never LOWERED dividends - about 5% right now).

Boogaard’s drug issues were directly related to his job as an enforcer in the NHL. The teams provided a supply of drugs and ignored his known problems. His personality change could have been directly related to the CTE he had as a result of his job. CTE can cause mood and behavior issues that exacerbate a drug habit.…

Boogaard had major drug issues related to injuries resulting from hockey in general, allegedly. There’s a great New York Times piece on it if you look for it. Tragic, but by god it would have been nice to have him today.

Phillies once scouted him.

I wouldn’t really call any of the responses from Puerto Rican players burns, they basically come off as “hey you may have beaten our asses in the final, but unlike you at least we gave a fuck about the tournament!” That’s more of a self-burn than anything else

‘Look at this, right now you’re in spring training working out, and we’re with our people, with our silver medals.’

Is he related to Neal McBeal the Navy SEAL?

I always assumed Steve Bannon‘s origin story involved a bottle of Dewars and a tube of hemorrhoid cream exposed to Gamma radiation.

That is a disturbingly accurate cartoon.

It was interference if anything, but definitely on Buff

Yes, pension funds are long term investors, but that doesn’t mean a pension fund can just suspend payments during a down turn in the market and wait for the recovery. They are making payments regardless of what the market is doing.

Club Dread. Terrible movie, but he’s great in it, as usual. Plays a Jimmy-Buffett-knockoff named Coconut Pete, who gets very angry as resort guests confuse his hit song“Pinacoladaburg” with “Margaritaville.”

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that this article isn’t about you.

I love this because he was so pissed (and rightfully so!) and then recovered and got revenge. That said, it’s not unprecedented. A few years ago, when he was with the Ducks, Bobby Ryan (a righty) picked up Mikko Koivu’s stick (a lefty) and scored with it:

When you woke up this morning, were you in a house, an apartment, or a condo? Look around you. What kinds of buildings do you see?
