I believe that there is nothing technically prohibiting it, but from a practical standpoint the other rules regarding rookie contracts currently make it impossible.

They only get to avoid paying out $2 million right away. They need to put the rest of the guaranteed and/or deferred money into an escrow account. That money is discounted a bit to account for the difference in value between now and when it due to be paid, but interest rates/inflation are so low that the difference is…

Sadly, I am pretty sure you do actually think your racist beliefs are accurate.

I hate to nitpick, but you spelled “police officer” wrong

Despite the difference in size of venue and competition at the Olympic trials, there is still tremendous pressure on the athletes to compete to the best of their ability with a berth to the Olympics on the line. In fact for athletes who don’t have a reasonable shot at winning an Olympic medal, the trials are actually…

So the Olympics are extreme pressure, but the one race that determines whether or not you qualify to go to the Olympics is nothing like it? I have to completely disagree with that.

And if you think doing poorly in a one time performance doesn’t matter then why even have the Olympics? If Harrison had qualified for the…

And that is fine if there is a known active shooter. But that is a terrible attitude for the police to take when dealing with normal, every day citizens who are exercising their legal right to carry. The problem is that an officer’s primary mission is now to make sure they come home safely at the end of the shift…

It looked like the same thing happened on the third Wales goal. The keeper did that hop as the cross was being played in and ended up being in the air at the moment the Wales attacker headed it on goal so he had to wait that extra moment to land before he could react and try to make the save.

And it is funny how conservatives think that free speech means that they are immune from any consequences of that speech.

You are right. He screwed up the math and divided the potential 3 year guaranteed $$ by 2 years.

And I am also not sure how he got the JJ Watt # when Watt’s remaining guaranteed money is $10.5 million per year in 2016 and 2017.

You have every right to not want to hang out with a bunch of kids whenever you see your friends and your friends have every right to want to bring their kids with them. The difference seems to be that you are taking the high road and just removing yourself from the situation while they are talking shit behind your…

I am a fan of the Lewis N Clark Ultimate Collection. It starts off as a basic pillow, but you can unzip it to get a blanket, earplugs and eye mask with the pillow being inflatable (either folding it in half and rezipping or leaving it full size if desired)

The Nike TRO tells the same exact story that Sarah did. Berian sent the NB terms to Nike. Nike agreed to match but then sent a contract with additional language regarding reductions. The only difference is the opinion of whether those reductions are so standard in track and field contracts that they were implied in…

No love for the Trenton Thunder family of bat dogs - Chase, Derby and Rookie?

And now your daughter will have to share a bathroom with guys who have a beard and think of themselves as men (and who may even have a penis if they have had gener reassignment surgery but have not changed, or are unable to change, their birth certifcate).

And under the new NC law, I can now use the women’s bathroom just by claiming that I was born a woman. So where is the difference and what did this law fix?

Is he auditioning to be a political reporter. As Stephen Colbert so aptly put it:

“But, listen, let’s review the rules. Here’s how it works: the president makes decisions. He’s the Decider. The press secretary announces those decisions, and you people of the press type those decisions down. Make, announce, type. Just…

And stadiums are all different sizes so a ball hit 325 feet in one could be a homerun while the same ball hit in a different park won’t reach the fence.

Doh, right in the middle of this article. Thanks for pointing it out. I looked through several other articles trying to get more details (and actually ended up with less since they did not include that full police statement) when I should have just re-read this one. But I am still not sure how taking pictures changes…

If you are working at a business that closed two days ago, you should expect that people will want to get more information about the closure and will try to get your attention if they see you inside. When it is a gym, the fact that it is a group of 5 guys that includes a football sized player should not be suspicious.…
