  1. Ego and/or a fear of failure; both of which drives people to their comfort zone. Hence the 'I'm a 3-4 coach so let me start by getting rid of all these good 4-3 players I inherited' mindset. The same mentality also drives the 'by the book' decision making (punting on 4th and inches at mid-field), which is most evident in baseball ('My 7th inning guy just retired the side on six pitches, but I'm going to pull him because he's not my 8th inning guy'). Yes it's maddening and yes it happens in all walks of sports and management. After we sold my last company to a big public company, they pushed out the founder/CEO and brought in their own CEO. Over the next year or so she kicked out 80% of the management team and brought in all her own people. None of them (including her) knew a thing about the business or the industry. 3 years and tens of millions in operating losses (that weren't there previously) , they sold the company off for tens of millions less than they paid for it. Oh well, another dead cap hit.
  2. Because the POTUS has interactions with Saudi leaders and therefore he uh....help kill some guy in Turkey. Or something.
  3. LOL...can't wait for his 3 TDs against the Bills.
  4. Blown out by Purdue, what a joke. Any other team would be dropped to 15th. Of course, no matter how many cupcakes they play and how late in the year they lose, there's always an automatic bid for Alabama and Ohio Sh-- U and their scumbag coach.
  5. Looks like this is the last we'll see of Amy for a while. I noticed that out of about 10 pitchers in this game I think every one has thrown 95+. Amazing how much the game has changed.
  6. I have to admit, Election night if she lost to him again might possibly be the most enjoyable moment of my life.
  7. Finally got to watch a Brewers game at home. For some reason I had trouble tracking balls and strikes. Bring on game 7. Go Brew Crew!
  8. What a disgusting, power-mad, nut job. Just the worst human being alive. Really. Just die Hillary.
  9. Not to mention the banner. Seems like an odd thing for 'refugees' to spend their precious money on. I wonder if they ordered it in advance on the web or stopped at a custom shop for a couple days to wait for it.
  10. The question is, do I start Chubb over a slightly gimpy Edelman (non PPR league)? I'm just worried idiot Hue Jackson will try to break him in gently and he'll end up with 12 carries.
  11. I love how they needed a couple weeks to recover from the Kavanaugh loss before the next 'scandal'. Usually they have the next one all teed up and ready to go.
  12. Same here; I drafted Hyde as my #3 back and picked up Chubb as insurance a few weeks back. Interesting too see how he looks with a full workload.
  13. 'non-woman name'?? But I thought gender was just a social construct?
  14. I'll be happy to read it, but make sure you start the post with "Hear me out...."
  15. To me it was more interesting than the current style. I get bored very fast watching the Warriors, even aside from the fact that the games are usually not competitive. It's like watching the NFL Pro Bowl.
  16. So mostly, we should be happy that someone else will be taking the beating instead of Allen against those teams.
  17. When they realized TV ratings went up after ESPN showed nothing but dunks. You'll never see teams like the Bad Boys Pistons or early '90s Knicks again.
  18. Great episode. This thread has made my week. Ehh....hey, baby.
  19. Only for drama queens. If the Bills won 3 going on 4 Super Bowls over the next decade, would you still have tolerance for fans who whine about Scott Norwood?
  20. Timed for right before election day....Democrats always have an October (or a 'week before confirmation vote') surprise in reserve.
