Business in the front, diplomacy in the back.

lol, what a piece of shit.

I already trust Jim Tomsula more than any guidance counselor I had in middle/high school.

this was the Studio 54 principle at play

Haaaaaa! I was a terribly anxious and overworked 16 year old Kroger cashier in the late 90's. It was my first job and we were made to memorize all sorts of bank codes for checks, produce codes, seasonal bakery codes. Not to mention food stamps... With 10 people in line staring you down. So at one point I just gave the…

The medallion is too expensive. Cities always pull shit like this and then wonder why things go wrong. Uber and Lyft are the future, and as of now the “geniuses” in the various cities haven’t come in yet to ruin that. I drive for both Uber and Lyft and let me tell you, it’s been wonderful, especially since me and my…

Add to that the very reason for Uber and Lyft’s existence is because the taxi industry (read: companies not the individual drivers) refused to innovate and make it more convenient for consumers. Before, when we would call for a cab in San Francisco, one would only show up about 20% of the time. It was ridiculous.

This is terrible for this man and other people like him, but the problem isn’t with Uber, it’s that a medallion is $700k. This artificial economy has always been problematic. There are also issues with ride sharing, but the answer lies somewhere in the middle, not protecting this outdated system.

Threre is a pretty simple solution to your problem in most cases. It’s this strange silver disc call DVD. You see all those old movies, most of the time, are readily available on DVD or Blu-Ray, and the craziest part, once you buy it, you OWN it and can watch it anytime you want, and not stuffed shirt can decide they…

Honestly, what’s worse: shooting yourself in the foot and retracting the offer from Schiano, or keeping Schiano and getting MRSA in that same foot?

Normally, I’d agree with you. Those irrational idiots are some of the least reasonable people on Earth. But, using whatever blind squirrel/broken clock analogy you like, they were right here. Schiano is a mediocre coach and dipshit to boot. One can tolerate Nick Saban’s dipshit behavior because he wins.

Rapoport, too

Ignoring the message boards means hiring anybody but Gruden, which was a given. Schiano’s hire was opposed by the season ticket holders and the alumni, not to mention a fair number of boosters. There are tens of coaches that would have had a better reception, and at a better price.

This is a really weird take. Those “ignorant masses” seem to have handled themselves pretty well today, all things considered.

Peter King did not get it right:

It physically pains me to admit this, but the idea of Tennessee hiring Greg Schiano was so stupid that Clay Travis got it vigorously right:

The Stranger Things episode that no one liked? That my friend was actually the hook for a spin-off series. It’s so close to guaranteed that it should be your lock of the week. We have an ethnically diverse cast to appeal to millennials, we have a ready-made story line, we have a cliff-hanger about a maybe not so dead…

It’s not state money that is getting spent, but the athletics department isn’t in a position to fire him without either negotiating the buyout or taking on new debt. With the current debt service somewhere around $17 million a year for stadium upgrades (and with a budget of $10 million a year for the next set of…

This story has really humped the shark.

WTF, no opinion on diagonal staples? So much better, and less chance of tearing.
