The video cuts off at this point. It’s unclear what prompted Dick to leave the message seemingly unfinished.

When I went to college, I had four different on-campus jobs at various points: dishwasher at the dining hall, manager of the campus grocery store, scientific equipment dispensary tech, and assistant researcher. All four compensated me the way athletes should get compensated: money in a paycheck. Number of hours I put…

hm. Let’s hear another viewpoint on how to pay, also from Minnesota:

All these morons taking bad lessons from the Process. “There’s no point in playing bad old players when you could play bad young players” was Hinkie’s idea (a pretty good one, all things considered), not “there’s no point in playing good(ish) old players when you could play bad young players.” (And it’s not even like…

The hilarious thing about all this is the notion that somehow making decisions that win games and decisions that “develop the younger talent” are mutually exclusive, like it’s some sort of zero sum game.

You really think tossing Bagley out on the floor with shit support is going to teach him more than using him…

It’s great that Christian Hackenberg gets to be a second round bust in two leagues. 

The only surprise here is that it’s a player being shitty to a coach. Coaches do this all the times trying to build ‘TEAM’ by yelling about ‘LOYALTY’ instead of just paying the players and drawing up good schemes. When players go from one team to a rival team in free agency or even when traded it’s all we hear so…

The O-Line:

Who is this, “hermano” character?

How many players had or will have the longevity, the talent, the ability to giggle at their own foibles and briefly shed the tough-guy mask?

New Year’s Eve, actually, is the worst holiday.

Agreed.  Overhyped, cold, expensive and it is party-goer amateur hour.

New Years Eve should absolutely not be that high. Regularly the most disappointing holiday in existence

Completely correct. Also I just hate the idea of being on a fucking war footing every moment of every day. It’s exhausting even before you bring family into it.

Memorial Day > Labor Day. At least in cold states. It kicks off picnic season. 

This post is a perfect excuse to show the most brutal poster dunk of this season

Adjacent Queens neighborhoods and basically everything along the G and 7 are going to feel this. I’m terrified that the already rapid gentrification is going to speed up to San Fransiscan levels where the culture and diversity that defined the city were obliterated. Get ready for an even bigger wave of suburban-raised…

The thing is the local economy doesn’t NEED to be charged up. The marginal benefit here as opposed to somewhere else is definitely offset by the negative externalities to the people already living here in Queens.

That’s the frustrating thing. New York has a lot of problems (crumbling public housing, crumbling subway, rampant homelessness are the first three that come to mind), all of which the city and state have either cried poor about or played pass-the-responsibility. And, now, they can find several billion dollars, just…

Honestly, they’re both the same thing, equally bad and equally based on full-of-shit economics that anyone who gives it the slightest thought knows is bullshit.
