This is a cool catch.

I don't know if it's intentional or not, but your argument is disingenuous. If you can't understand that, then you're probably right to end the discussion before you get proven wrong any further.

Valuations. The only time I work hard is when I do something new. Everything else is template. Taxation is for chumps.

His argument is bullshit on either basis. After taxes, agency and management, they see like 35-40% of their income at most.

Total income is irrelevant when the typical athlete sees between 35 and 40% of their “salary”.

How many touchdowns have most of us scored in a job where there are, at best, 150 people who can do it on the highest level in an industry that generates $12b of revenue in a year? Because AB is arguably the top receiver in the league.

Oh, so the team has the right to fine them nearly 7 times their daily salary? Yes, that’s much better.

It’s all relative. Billable working hours and actual working hours may not be the same thing.

Damn right. And I work from home twice a week, so that unpaid hour lunch when I’m in the office? Guess who’s only working 5.5 hours on his telecommute days.

Sucks dude. I’m on salary for 35 hours a week and that’s it. Early and late can go to hell.

Wait, so players don’t get paid for pre-season, but teams can fine them for missing what are literally unpaid work days?

and they still have reigning Super Bowl MVP (ugh) Julian Edelman at wideout to gobble up balls running dwarf-sized post routes.

Thanks. That’s basically my whole judgement of a Dolphins season success for my adult life. “Did they finish ahead of the Bills?”

One could argue that it cost the Pats the #1 seed, but since they won the Super Bowl, I guess it doesn’t really matter.

Was that the tour with The Reverend Horton Heat and Nashville Pussy? I was at that one, whatever year that was. I think 2008.

Big Business opened for them when I saw them in June. It was good times.

The first time I saw them, Chino had a tantrum and walked off stage. So, I could give a fuck less about proper use of “the”.

I mean, it was pretty obvious when she stumbled her way to the wrong corner for a hot tag, which was what sparked the chants.

Spotify has really been opening me up to new music based on my existing tastes. I’ve been having a love affair with Uncle Acid all year and that’s thanks to Spotify noticing I listen to a lot of stoner/doom and suggesting it.

This is nearly as bad as the vultures chanting “You Fucked Up!” at Dr. Britt Baker at Fight For The Fallen when it was clear and obviously she was concussed.
