And I thought my contributions on comment threads were no more than empty word salads, devoid of meaning and purpose. Well done.

I think his situation is also some evidence for having an NFL developmental league. Worse case scenario, you send him down to the minors, where he can solve his problem (or not) away from the galre of publicity.
The loop is what gets me about this. It’s not so much “can kick” or “can’t kick.” It’s more that one miss leads to boos which leads to more misses, the spiral down. Well-written, Barry, I like how you went long on performance.
I feel for the guy. He’s already such a huge target because not only did his team draft him in the 2nd round, but traded 2 draft picks to move up to get him, when he probably would have been available to them if they had waited. Imagine how much that has to fuck with your head, knowing that people are just waiting for…
Because life is - totally agree with you and the OP. I think the majority of people who think that the 30s and 40s era cars and hot rods were the shit? We’ll they’ve mostly got what they want now. And even if they don’t they’re fewer and fewer in the buyer category. Every year, new enthusiasts enter the marketplace,…
Neutral: Why Do You Think The Classic Car Market Is Tapering Off?
I’m not mad for the sake of getting mad. I’m mad that this law, while seeming to prevent people from just storing junk cars on their driveway (like this guy), also prevents anyone who has plated their car as a “collector, pioneer, etc” from even parking the car in their driveway without it being a violation of the law.
Exactly so! While reading Margin’s arguments against parking cars on a driveway, I kept seeing the exact same arguments that people used to keep blacks, hispanics and the poor from moving into their neighborhoods.
I see your reasoning and completely agree, but there’s a big difference between having 30 rusted out crown Vic’s sitting on your lawn and being an ACTUAL public safety issue, and just having two older cars that you don’t often drive because it’s impossible to drive more than one car simultaneously. Whether they’re old…
If the argument you’re making also perfectly justifies race discrimination, chances are it’s a bogus argument.
*holds up tiniest violin*
It does matter. Per that law, if I daily drive a 2013 Mustang GT, I can park it in my driveway. If I daily drive a 1965 Mustang GT, I cannot.
You want everyone to obey some rule you like? Go live in a gated community that enforces that rule, where everyone must obey the private rules agreed upon before moving there or be expelled. Otherwise, stop whining. In his property he can do as he wants. You have no right over his yard or driveway.
The home values argument was used to defend every injustice under the sun. Such as housing discrimination by race.
I’m solidly middle class and so is the family I come from, so maybe I shouldn’t be so judgy of those who are just getting here.
Which is when you either A) Simply just sign a stud free agent like Jose Fernandez because you have all the money in the world now, or B) Use all those prospects to trade for a stud like Chris Sale, etc. It’s easier to pick up a few quality starters through free agency or trades than it is good young bats. As a Yanks…
That’s true, but perhaps Cashman is taking a page out of Epstein’s Cub playbook: good bats are harder to come by than good arms. Given the inflated strikeout totals and fragility of young arms, good young bats are a safer and valuable bet than arms. Epstein rationalized that he could always get arms when he needed to,…
Also: It was a *writing* program. So, you know, I think more than timeliness and running spell check is required.
During my undergrad I would have agreed with her. I generally expected a B or an A for written assignments turned in on time. Some people are really bad at writing; I saw this first-hand when doing peer reviews for kids in my classes. If you can easily write a properly structured grammatically correct paper you are…
