If it is held that vague wording in a CBA cannot be used to give immutable/uncontested powers to “management”, wouldn’t that be a union rights issue?

He still thanks you for the clickbait headline though. That pay-per-click life is rough, yo.

I’ve watched this on repeat for 2 minutes straight, and it never stops being funny. If anything, it gets funnier every time.

It really, really, really is.

I normally hate kids, and it seems this young girl shares my feelings.

Totally concur. There are a lot of touchpoints (pun intended) for how styles and gameplay evolve, and trying to boil it down to one handy variable (ie, eliminating hand checking) is a disservice. Maybe as teams get more creative about shutting down passing lanes and high efficiency corner 3s, the post game makes a…

That’s the good stuff

God forbid they have to be athletic!

I’m no statistician, but simply eyeing the chart bears out that pace is still below 1980s to early 90s levels; roughly equal until about 95-96, at which point it drops and then drops dramatically to the nadir in 98-99 (should also note this was around the period when people started to think the league was in its worst…

A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Incompetence

Right?

Wow, I really thought you were kidding about that.

The runner in the Vandy-Florida game linked here did the same thing

Wow, the runner was already past the pitcher by the time he went into his leg kick. I haven’t seen a delivery that slow since the postal service was still a major shipping option.

Yeah seemed weird. Maybe trying to gauge where he should slide, lest the pitch make it to the plate in time for a tag? Or maybe he was thinking “How can he possibly have not thrown it by now?”

Maybe stop posing in GQ and figure out how to turn potential into consistent success.

Yeah, I really like this as an overall look at relationships, friendly and friend-to-romance alike. I wasn’t particularly talking about the “friend zone” as defined here, but relationship “zones” in general; this is how we categorize the people in our lives and decide how much time/emotional energy to expend on them.…

I could definitely use that, since Pay Day is not for another week

I know what you’re getting at. As far as those definitions, though, they don’t necessarily define “friend zone” as pejorative, which is the way I feel typical usage has mutated it. You put it well, and I’ll just echo that such usage has been mutually co-opted by a) people who do use the term as a whiny way to mourn…

Housemade ketchup is restaurant code for “Yeah, I definitely spit in this, idiot.”
