I was going to volunteer. What a great experience that would be! I just didn’t know there would be such competition.

Is that anything like…..”he was givin’ him the business”? 😂

“I could care less.” Think that one out!

I didn’t LIKE it, but I had no question of ethics. What does the contract both sides signed allow? That’s all that really counts when you get down to it. Loyalty to your team is never expected when athletes talk about their money. They always say it’s a business, you do what you think is best for you and your family. And I won’t even kid about loyalty to fans.

Everyone has the option to take the best offer. If that is the best offer, it’s their decision. That’s why they all want $$$ upfront and guarantees, but if nobody else is offering more, the market has spoken.

We either have terrific depth, or Tre still isn’t Tre and we are completely DOOMED! I’ll wait to decide.

The bold will be the key. Did the Cheaters* ever regret who they MIGHT have drafted in the 6th round instead of Brady? (I bet some did at the time!)

But critically, it is not “Very Concerning”. I forget what color goes with this level of concern, but it’s not Panic Purple.

We’re moving? Did they finally figure all that out? We’re going downtown, right? Are they doing a dome? Sincerely, Rip VanWinkle

I never had a daughter, but you just talked me out of it!

Very sorry for your loss. I know you will treasure the time you had together.

TBD is like a box of chocolates! Better luck next time!

Either give them something to feel good about or light a fire under them. That had to be a bad taste last week. FOCUS and enough with the penalties!

Should we just go ahead and put him up on the Wall at the home opener? I mean, why waste time? 🤷‍♂️

Yes, that was the hot topic I was wondering about tonight.

So, did he “retire”, or was he just not going to make the team at that price?

Exactly, you can’t say, for example, “we split”, because QB is weighted so much more heavily than any other position. It’s hard to overcome having a china doll at the most important position. Tua has some skills, but I don’t know how long he can last. I hope he suffers no lasting damage.

Which begs the question, why would he give up guarantees to go anywhere? 🤷‍♂️

OK, I might need to rethink this! I’d hate to miss an event like THAT!

My consecutive streak is not as long, but I’m on level 22 in French. Years ago it would give you a percentage and it said I was 35% fluent, thanks to 6 years of French growing up that came back to me some. I picked it up again before our trip to Paris in the spring. It came in handy at times and I’m trying to keep it going. Speaking of handy, “donde esta el bano” came in VERY handy on a trip to Spain right before Covid! 😱

My father in law learned his son could get financial benefit in med school if he checked an ethnic box. He absolutely refused to have any part of that. He was not accepting handouts for nothing. I admired that, and wonder what I would have done. Probably save on the tuition, but I want no part of panhandling by making a billboard out of a car. The first time I saw that it was kids on their way to spring break, and they were honest about it. It did make me chuckle. Speaking of which, we saw a guy on the sidewalk in NYC with a sign that said “Let’s be serious, I need weed money!” 😂

Both families gave our son and DIL the same amount of money before they got married. We let them decide if they wanted to have a huge open bar bash for all of their friends, or if they wanted to have a nice down payment on a house. The DIL is a former wedding planner and knew all the tricks to keep the cost down while still having a lovely event. One thing she was adamant about was spending more on the band and less on the food. Nobody remembers the food, but everybody remembers the party that breaks out when the band get rolling. Either way, their life, their choice. Let them learn to live with their own decisions.

Because it wasn’t a trailer park and I’d have been sued by the HOA to correct the roof. If they replace a fender on your car, you’d expect them to paint it, right? That is part of what you are paying for. Other insurers did the right thing and replaced the entire roofs for our neighbors. It wouldn’t “not exactly match”, they didn’t make anything like that anymore. It would have been two very different things.

The camaraderie of the locker room and the orange slices at half time…..that is what they will cherish forever. I’m fine if you want to pay me three years in advance, for work I don’t have to do. 😋

We know that, @Gugny. Wait! Is Hammers really closed? Are you just trying to drive down demand and sneak in at the late, late hour of 6:45am? .
