Hawaii’s an expensive place to live, but I would think he’s not going to have to pay for many meals there. 

In today’s NFL, who’s to say getting the slotted guaranteed money for the No. 2 overall pick and retiring to your native Hawaii as early as possible isn’t “success”? Go home, Marcus, and don’t look back. You’ll be 26 years old, rich, and local hero.

Lifeguard is a fantastic gig. Bonus if you’re getting that sweet swim-lessons money on top of it. I was a lifeguard at a city pool for two years before college; it paid more than the country clubs and there was also more action there because none of the kids knew how to swim there. Then I went off to college and a…

It’s a trade probably everyone except Dean Spanos is willing to make. 

That is a normal ear. Move on, find a new slant. 

Exactly. It keeps him occupied and shows for the world in very public fashion that he’s too stupid to get rich in the easiest way possible as an NFL owner. (Although, one could argue it’s also pretty easy to get rich owning casinos.) Anyway, even if Snyder wanted to now, he couldn’t run for office. Everyone hates him…

Well, Bush was a little more than a celebrity/vanity owner. Something around 10% if I recall correctly. And, of course ,he got a stadium built. It was Texas and his buddies were the ones making the decisions to bilk the public. Anyway, Bush set his sights higher. He wanted to be MLB commissioner. And, God, think of…

Well, the FailKid in question has to have the money (and/or non-mob financing) to actually buy the team. So there’s the failing.

It’s simple. If you don’t give FailKids professional sports teams, then they run for office. Let them run teams into the ground; then that’ll keep them occupied and you don’t end up President Dean Spanos.

It affects every profession in America.

I don’t know. There are a lot of very smart guys on the team and dozens more on the staff and in various support departments. The story I heard re: Yu was it was something Carlos Beltran noticed. Carlos is now in Yankees front office. (Really, he should be managing next year, if he wants.) But back to 2017, everyone…

People may think it shitty or unfair, but the Astros have been very good at solving this kind of shit at the best possible time. Ask Yu Darvish about it.

2017 was a very special year. I really want these guys to win it this year so Cole gets a ring. 

Nah, that’s bullshit. Bush was dumb, sure. But that’s not a pass. He was also plenty willfully ignorant. He was petty. He was vindictive. He was unqualified. He was not the least bit intellectually curious or open to having his mind changed. He was every bit as stupid as Trump, but not in apparent mental decline at…

Well, those might’ve been Cheney’s reasons (or his primary reasons). But Bush has his own. He wanted to vindicate Daddy, show Daddy he was a big boy, and show Daddy he might even be better than he was (by “succeeding” where Daddy “failed”).

Pretty cool that our last two republican presidents didn’t really want to be president for any real reason except because then they’d be president and could show their daddies they were actually really good boys. And tough. And smart. So a few hundred thousand people had to die along with whatever was left of American…

I mean, it’s an incredibly fucking low bar.

Not to well actually you, but he was probably responsible for well over a half a million civilian deaths, just in Iraq (as of a year and half ago).

The bounceback of W. was completely predictable but no less disappointing. Nixon became a fondly remembered elder statesman before he croaked and I forget how his presidency ended. I do recall St. Ronald Reagan was not particularly popular when he left office under the stench of Iran Contra (and a dozen less public…

That’s a solid point. If it’s the case, then that is a hell of a quick parsing of what exactly in the fuck Stephen is trying to say and kudos to Molly. I’m still trying to figure out what was with the incorrect framing of “I don’t see folks outside of the Jewish community talking about that too often.” It seems like he…
