  1. Of course awful, awful, awful for that poor little buddy. I can’t even imagine. I saw his dad post frequently on Twitter and he was always in the hospital with Eddie. Never saw any other family members including Eddie’s mother. Was dad all alone in this? Just wondering…
  2. Just paying tribute. WWDVD?
  3. You do realize that this is entirely different that the PSLF program, right?
  4. It’s already starting. I just read some kook’s Twitter post about how they believe these billionaires set up this elaborate “stunt” in order to fake their deaths. The wing nuts are eating it up. 🤦🏾
  5. Cobra venom harvester.
  6. I feel bad for the kid, tbh. How could you take your 19 year old along on something like this? It’s crazy for me to even fathom knowing that his father was aware of the risks. Jeezzz…
  7. Forgive my ignorance if I missed this, but were the passengers aware of the risk involved? I’m told there were “experts” who inspected the craft and warned the company in writing that it wouldn’t be able to withstand the depths.
  8. This death tube is going to wash up on shore when I take my family to the beach in Maine this summer. 🤦🏾
  9. Pork ribs. I got a recipe from my chef buddy “smack it up, flip it, rub it down.” I rub the ribs and let them dry brine in the fridge over night. I first hit them on the grill just to give them a nice char. Then I cook them in the oven low and slow for a few hours. Fall of the bone tender and delicious.
  10. I like to know what I’m wishing for when I wish somebody good luck.
  11. When are you leaving for good?
  12. So this wasn’t merely rampant, drunken speculation on my part? 🤔 😂
  13. I have no idea, but this is fun, right?! 😂
  14. The guy enjoys a few cocktails before a drive! Who are we to judge? Imagine McLeod at C and Edwards at PF. 😳
  15. Huggy resigned. 🤔
  16. Huggy Bear with the DUI. Could be fired by WVU. Any chance Jesse Edwards has a change of heart? 😊
  17. It was probably one of those slutty willow trees.
  18. Those sure are some “steamy” photos! 😂
  19. Good lord man. Sorry to hear about this. I was thinking about trying to cut down a couple 30-40 foot cedar trees along my driveway that are dying. Never done it before, but figured how hard could it be? Maybe I’ll just pay to have it done. 🤔
  20. Just cancelled DTV today. Have been a customer since 2007. The retentions guy tried everything he could to keep me, and then was trying to get me to “suspend” my account for some reason. After about a 5 min discussion I officially cancelled. Signed up for YouTube TV which is like $72/month and got the early deal for NFL Sunday Ticket. We looked at our other streaming subscriptions, and realized that we could rid of a couple bc the content we liked was also offered of YouTube TV. Looks like we’ll end up saving ~$40-50/month when the dust settles.
  21. You must have missed the first sentence of my reply to your post where I wrote “You are correct.” Albeit the rare exception, there are some players such as Rabil and Thompson who either were or are making north of 1 million/year. As I said, Paul Rabil’s Adidas deal alone used to be 1 million/year before he and Mike created the PLL. My understanding is that Lyle Thompson’s deal with Nike is comparable. The reality is that 98% of these guys have to find other sources of employment. I have a personal friend who plays for the Albany Firewolves of the NLL, but still works a full-time job as an accountant in Denver in the offseason. Some guys supplement their incomes by doing the camp circuit which can pay quite well for the bigger name players. That said, things have become much better for the players since the creation of the PLL and increasing popularity of the NLL. Pay is not great but substantially better, health insurance, profit sharing, etc… It’s got a long way to go, but certainly has come a long way since the MLL days with players getting dressed in tents next to the field.
