And I agree its a shitty thing. I don’t think its intentional (any more than any built in misogyny). I simply think they wrote a policy that says the non-major sports (i.e. not something you can watch on a network on most weekends) athletes have to compete to get their money. That policy could have been written in the…

You asked for the name and I provided the one that fits his narrative. Doesn’t make it true, or even if its true that it was in fact a valid reason, but simply the name that you demanded.

I have no clue if what the OP says is true, but that seems to fit with the profile of Sheryl Swoops. She was one of the original mega-stars when they formed the WNBA in ‘97, and she was considered to be an electric player, and she did give birth and then miss the first 2/3rds of the first season.

Not much to be honest. There isn’t a pregnancy clause in these contracts, there is a performance clause. If you are a non-team sport athlete you are often paid as long as you are competing.

In no particular order the stuff I love about this:

That is actually the most accurate thing anyone (myself included) has said on this thread. Trump and Tiger are business associates (I don’t for a second think they are friends but rather Tiger has a history of mingling with Donald since Donald owns golf courses and is in the same circles pre-presidency).

Yeah its a big factor. If I bought this for £1500 10 years ago and then I sell it for £4500 my cost is also the lost use of £1500. So say I could have made 5% on that money (in reality you could pour it into the restaurant and get a far greater return, but lets go with a low number) my lost interest cost raises that…

I think its because he stumbled.  I think that the wobble 2 strides before the dive wasn’t on purpose and he realized he was going down so he dove forward.  As for if it helped, by diving and with his height he probably gained 6-12 inches over a lean and with such a short distance and no ground contact his…

No, you get 2 because there is neither an error, nor a double-play on the play.  It does highlight the stupidity of an error (which is only a physical and never mental error) but per the concept of the rules, 2 RBIs are correct.

Short answer yes.

So the cost of having space in a wine cellar, maintaining the temperature and conditions such that the wine is kept in a “ready to drink at a moments’ notice” is zero?  Because buying something and keeping it for years actually increases the cost, not lowers it.

And its not even that. Their markup is 25-33% in this case. I mean if it costs £3,000 a bottle (the cheapest case of 6 is £18,000) and that is without fees, shipping or tax then to sell it at a table for £4,500 is a downright bargin.

Tiffany.  She’s just avoided the spotlight.  I mean she is going to Law School at Georgetown (so she is quite literally in Washington DC) yet you don’t hear a word about her.  The only smart thing to do is just stay as quiet, and still and avoid as much of the stink as she can.

Sure, she wants to rule by fear. But how does bruning King’s Landing accomplish that? There’s no rational connection between her burning KL and some objective she wanted to achieve. KL had already surrendered, so burning them just proves she can’t be trusted and is literally insane.

The PGA Championship will be at the one in Bedminster, NJ in 2022, and it hosted the US Women’s Open in 2017 (I am aware that USGA is not the PGA but its still a championship level course). The Senior PGA Championship was in Potamic Falls, VA in 2017. Doral in Florida is currently off the PGA schedule (it was for 50…

But is that the show’s writer’s fault or it it BECAUSE of the books. The fact that GRRM can’t write the next book makes me firmly believe that the world is too big to wrap up in 2 books (or 2 seasons of a show). There are just too many plot strings and too many characters to get everyone to where they need to be.

What are you basing that on? Trump owns many golf courses, quite a few of which are used on the Tour. So the PGA Tour, unlike every other sport, has a relationship with Trump before he became president. Further, can you think of a fan base that is probably more “rich white Republican that wants tax cuts and don’t care…

Not a flex at all, but just more of a comment that most of us that work for large corporations do the same thing, so while it would be nice for Tiger to stand up, I don’t think the millions of us that have his situation on a much smaller scale are blamed for not standing up either.

I have those.  I mean I work for a Fortune 50 company and have at least met my senior management at a function or two in 20+ years.

He didn’t want to be King of the North either.  But he is a man who serves when called.  Also, if Sansa doesn’t fall in line (and there is NO indication that she will), then she has to be dealt with.  Do you think Dany thinks Jon sides with her, or Sansa if he has to choose?  This is a man who has such a strong ties…
