Every milkshake IPA and pastry stout should come w/ a stern look and a reminder from Wilford Brimley to check their blood sugar levels.

You obviously just needed to pull up on your bootstraps harder.

At least it’s an ethos.

Thank you, this was goddamn perfect.

And nowi f you don’t mind I’m going to get blackout drunk so I don’t have to think about it too much.

I imagine having your employer basically telling you that you and the rest of the schmucks who have actually worked for them aren’t good enough for even a small promotion is just great for morale. I know it would make me want to work that much harder!

You’re right, and it seems to only be about increasing the share price right here, right now. There’s just no long term planning or thinking, just rats hitting that button as much as possible to get a quick fix dopamine hit.

It’s become quite the get rich quick scheme. But if there aren’t any consequences for the people making money, why would they stop?

I don’t really know when this switch was flipped, but it is no longer important or good for a business/company to just make a profit. Somehow, someway, they have to make more than that, as there is always a way to make more, people and consequences be damned.

Have you ever read anything about the A-11 offense? It was pretty similar to what you’re describing and just looked fun as hell. Unfortunately NFL jersey number rules and then who’s eligible to catch a pass based on those numbers make it almost impossible offense to run. It was legal in high schools for a couple years…

Oh now’s who’s talking like a crazy person! Going for it on 4th! I never!

Every press conference would start “I’d like to remind everyone that the nickname of this team is racist as hell and our owner needs lifts in his shoes to barely see 5'4"”

Eh, I make no claims on what would or wouldn’t succeed, it was just the first random offense that came into my head. 

I think at this point, most organizations are going away from the retread head coaching hire, as it’s pretty obvious that if you’ve failed already, odds are good you’re going to fail again. Bruce Arians got hired again, but he actually had some success in AZ and I think quit back in 2017. Gase is a retread, but that’s…

Hell. Yes.

If football coaches like Gruden actually had a sense of humor and weren’t so averse to fun they would just say fuck it, and let their freak flag fly. Want to fire up the Wing T offense? Sure, fuck it. Double halfback passes every other drive? Sure, fuck it.

Bah gawd, that’s Jim Harbaugh’s music!

My apologies to anything or anyone who was within range.

Admire the focus, as well as the stance.

Boulevard Saison Brett is another good gateway into these kinds of beers. La Folie or Pentagram? Not so much.
