"Jauron-y".
Must have missed the part where Beane is an out of touch senior citizen plucked out of retirement and forced into a role he really didn't want because nostalgia.
And the part where McD is a played-out retread brought in to be a cheap "yes man" while our old coot owner just tries to stay afloat in a league that had probably passed his ideology by years ago.
Yep. So similar it's spooky.
I wish it wasn't teef.... I wish it wasn't.
I feel like my innocence is lost. I guess I never realized that rooting for a football team was such serious business. Now I know.
So...pretty much the same as it's been forever, except this time around it's with an apparent purpose.
I'll take a long term plan over the usual 'win now/we're close' sales pitch.
It's about time we had some proactive management that has the stones to follow through on their vision instead of plugging and patching the roster with the last guy's junk.
Not to mention getting value for a guy that was gone after this year anyways. What a concept!
Sure, results may vary long term, but how refreshing it is to sense actual vision from OBD.
Nah.
2017 payouts
$6.3 million (base salary)
$500,000 (roster bonus, due on Day 5 of 2017 league year)
Doubt he walks away from $6mil because he likely won't make the playoffs this year.
Tank, no tank, whatever.
At least it's something different for a change. You get burnt out from the "win now/we're close" force feedings after so many years.
I applaud the effort, and look forward to the long term results.
