and if ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we’d all have a merry Christmas.

or she leaves and we see what happens when the family loses its leader. that actually sounds like an interesting way to go.

Why does what happened in any other negotiation have any bearing on this contract negotiation? Different people, different budgets. The friends negotiation was a negotiation of a much more profitable and well-known show that had a much larger pie to divvy up and probably still makes everyone a mint. If I remember, the…

i feel like you do not understand how negotiations work. Both sides are trying to get the best deal they can. You think her value is completely linked to the show? How much could she make if she left the show? As much as WHM? I don’t know but I bet that is part of the thinking of the people in charge of the money. I…

But saying something was a joke that was not a joke seems like something those women would be even less likely to do.

It will come down to leverage. Yes, she has the big leverage of ending the show because she walks (I have never seen the show and don’t know if her character is replaceable) but does she have the leverage of other projects and offers if she walks away compared to what WHM would have and make? I do not know. (TBH, I’ve…

I guess I don’t have a problem with this. I am surprised that it wasn’t a thing before. They do this before trades and possibly before contracts are signed, why not prospects? Some worry about anomalies but I feel like team medical experts are constantly looking at MRIs and know what they are looking for. If it was…

Phil is a west coast guy? When did Montana and North Dakota become West Coast? A neighbor once told me how her parents moved from North Dakota to Montana because a few black people moved to their ND town at the beginning of the oil boom.

it doesn’t matter what style of offense or what you draw on that white board if you don’t have the personnel. he is quickly turning off the talent of the modern NBA and your comment reminds me how simple basketball is and how it is silly to call any coach a genius.

Phil Jackson wasn’t anywhere near the key to the success of those 11 championship teams. Kobe and Shaq? Eric Spoelstra could have won those titles, The Jordan Bulls, either Jeff Van Gundy could have won those titles. Zen Master? Bullshit PR. A zen master wouldn’t get himself into this shit show. Basketball is easy…

Why do I have to give two shits about any nations? I can have compassion for all humans (and living things) and hate the existence of all nations and religious and fake made up things that keep us fighting each other. I especially do not support nations that identify themselves by ethnicity, religion, race, or…

Filming sex scenes is awkward because if you weren’t blinded by the horney-ness, having sex or watching others have sex is super awkward.

Ha! yet it is okay for Phil Jackson to make the comments in the first place. It is Phil that is the whiny little asshole baby that has bigger problems (the knicks franchise) to worry about.

If Lebron James wants to do favors and help his friends out, why is that anyone else’s business. Phil Jackson is an asshole. Phil Jackson has no reason to say any of this except to be an asshole. Phil Jackson should try worrying about the knicks shit franchise instead of what Lebron is doing.

Also, why wouldn’t someone bring the people they love and care about for the ride? Or is it because he is black and they are black and somehow it offends you that black people are getting advantages that you aren’t. Most people who become rich or successful help their friends and loved ones get ahead.

Just because posse origin is not racial doesn’t mean that it cannot be used in a ‘racist’ way. It has been used for decades now to refer to the entourages of rappers and black athletes and is used not to mean friends or hangers on but more akin to a gang or group of thugs. It’s a dog whistle and as a white man, I know…

So they succeeded because they knew the right person. If Mr. Jackson was 5'10 instead of 6'8 he wouldn’t have shit.

This move actually makes sense. You could let him go and overpay some shitty retread or you could pay your current shitty coach for 2 years with one possibly being a team option and give yourself the flexibility to dump him and sign the “right coach” instead of paying the coach that happens to be available.

I think this is a good point. He is completely disposable if they feel they can get “the right” coach and actually get a decent squad.

He raised his older sister?
