This. Trying to win in today’s NFL by running the ball is like trying to win in the NBA by taking mid-range jumpers, or trying to win in MLB by moving runners over and pitching to contact. The Vikings are averaging the same points per game (and fewer yards per game) as Jacksonville, and fewer points per game and yards…

Everything is solid except the offensive line. But without a average to decent offensive line, the rest of the very good offensive players are negated.

Florida is an at-will state but that only applies to non-contract labor in any state. If you have a contract, the employer has to live up to it. Since the CBA only covers dismissals due to performance (not guaranteed) or injury (fully paid unless on a split contract ), this would fall back to FL Employment contract…

His 2019 salary is 8 mil with 2 mil guaranteed when he was with the team after 3/1/2018 and an additional 1 mil guaranteed when he was with the team after 3/1/2019. If they fire him they lose 6.5 mil in cap space next year. But since he would be able to claim firing unrelated to performance on the contract, the whole…

God damn it. 

Tough luck for Lin, but since the NBA decided to go to a 3-on-3 format, there are just fewer spots available. Basic math.

What Richards did when she was the organization’s head: acknowledge reality and fight the extremists. Her political director did exactly that for over a decade until she left when Wen took over.

A lot of it sounded kind of like those live forever regimens where you achieve the optimal weight and so on, but anyone who got to the blue light eliminating surgery and thought it was still for real....c’mon.

I, too, remember my first creative writing class.

I’d normally think

lol for real, it’s so obviously a joke

What?! You mean she didn’t actually experimentally remove her ability to see blue light? You know, one of the key colors to having functional eyesight?

If you are in a hand, it is your responsibility to know how much money is in the pot at all times. The dealer can clarify things but it’s still ultimately your responsibility.

Child + thought impairing hormones = teenager. 

Seriously. It’s not like a 16 year old child actor has any perspective on unemployment or what having a job means to people without one...fully blame the actual adults involved and just feel bad that he’s involved in what is probably going to be a bunch of bad press. 

So, because she had a reasonable, likely correct take on one situation, your assumption is that she lacks the ability to provide a different, equally nuanced take if a different situation calls for it?

Because by rule if a ball leaves the field of play on the fly in fair territory it is a homerun. Using the same play but raising the wall so that the ball bounces off it and Snydersgaard ends upon a base instead would be correctly scored an error.

Great. You just focus on this play and disregard the main point of his post, that he’s leading the league in flagrants the last 2 years.

No. No, it was not. He tomahawk chopped across his body, much harder than necessary.

Subject (and strange choice of target for scorn) aside, this isn’t even an article. There’s no through line, no theory, no point you ever get to. It’s just a collection of quotes from people with no underlying theme to hold it together. What was your conclusion after listening to all these interviews and podcasts?…
