Next time some self proclaimed “patriot” whines about paying all those taxes for the police and their fat pensions, ask them, without cops, who is gonna protect the tables?

Yep, cause being arrrested and convicted is the same thing as someone in a hyper partisan political battle suddenly remembering some alleged rough-housing from 30 years ago.

Did you forget that “long term contracts” in the NFL aren’t anything if the sort? A $70M/5 year contract can be canceled at the beginning of the first year if it doesn’t have guaranteed money.

This is also why the Steelers refused to sign Elon Musk.

$75M+ guaranteed is a lot more.

Steelers blew their decision. Clearly it would be stupid for Bell to risk playing a full season before his massive free agency offseason. They should have known this and planned accordingly.

It’s smart business for Bell. No insurance is going to cover the full $70M, there will be strict conditions and large deductibles. You don’t even know it will cost less than $7M.

that’s exactly how it works. playing a full season would not only come with significant injury risk, but 400+ touches is going to reduce his free agency value as teams wonder how much closer the wheels are to coming off.

The Steelers are being idiots. Clearly it would be a huge economic mistake for Bell to play a full season this year, every carry risks loss of that $60M+ guaranteed he’ll get this offeseadon. If they weren’t willing to give him a long term deal, they needed to trade him. instead they do ... nothing?

You can’t choose your brother. And maybe your brother is so self centered he writes game companies to  make his proposal for him, then demands they honor his grandma after you liberate his girlfriend from the douche.

Your analysis has no idea about the value of guaranteed money, or how to measure risk.

What a great match! Nothing better than sporting events decided by a refs fragile feelings instead of the players skill.

Didn’t she actually lose 6-2, 5-4?

Was it really the best M5 tho?  I mean, what kind of speakers did it’s engine have?

There is no sales tax in Oregon. If you have an OR address you can buy a car with zero sales tax at all.

$60k a year in NYC is like $20k a year in the rest of the country. And i don’t live in Oregon, I’m just visiting cause i work remote, and spending a summer month working out of Portland is way better than doing it in NYC.

Yea, I’m staying in a 3,000 square foot house with an acre of land, all trees, grass, garden, bee-hive, and outdoor jacuzzi, within walking distance of parks, coffee shops, pubs, weed shops and dozens of restaurants, and less than 10 minutes from downtown Portland. But all I think about is how can I move to NY city, …

To old men willing is thrilling.

Sure, but we should take into account that those were some very ugly men.

Who should have gone to jail? The Congress critters who created the bubble by requiring banks to lower their lending standards?
