The lease on my 4Runner is up in a couple of months and I've always planned on buying it outright (long story). I recognized that name as having dealerships in Atlanta, and just did some googling and found Hendrick has a Toyota dealership, AND it's right around the corner from my work. Since I originally leased from a dealer in NY but am now in GA, I can pretty much choose who I go through to buy the truck. I'm going to Hendrick Toyota.

$19M/year actually. And I agree with your entire post and thought process. If a decent/average LT is going to sign a 5 year deal then it needs to $15M/year now, so that will be middle of the pack in a couple of years.

Yes, his comment that said the Women's team is actually pretty good as is their competition. And you posted some nonsense stating that their competition is weak from 30+ years ago. So sounds like my comprehension is on point. If that isnt correct, then state your stance in a sentence or two. Believe me, that last thing I like doing is agreeing with WEO on anything. Yet yall are pushing me there with this tangent youre on.

It's not your fault that so many folks here are easily triggered by these guys. They missed the entire point of what Reid is doing here, and still somehow equate it with the Anthem stuff. When really, Reid is fighting for the old players these guys all love.

So your argument here in this CBA thread is "The much celebrated US Women's Soccer team isnt really that good, so eff those uppity bees in their a's"?

How dare he fight for old, disabled players, right? What a dbag...

Another cool little thing I'll add: When I saw his number come up, I answered the call with a "Hey Ey EY Ey", and without missing a beat he did it right back.

If he doesnt get a hold of you tonight, keep an eye on the phone tomorrow. When I talked to him around 4:30, he said he was going to keep working down the list for "another couple hours maybe" and then pick it back up tomorrow.

The first two words in the title are "Eric Reid". It's no surprise TBD would immediately turn it into a ***** show.

Profound assessment of the treatment of retired and disabled players. Well done.

Boys are better at sports than girls in head to head competition. No duh. Even the Williams sisters said they would get beaten by the lowest ranked man. Does that mean they arent good at tennis? What are you even arguing in this CBA thread?

I texted him earlier and he just called me back. Said he was working his way through a list of about 120 texts. I asked him about playing for Saban vs McDermott. We talked about Atlanta. Nice dude. I doubt many people will be bothered to abuse his number, and it's easy enough to block people nowadays. But yeah, it's probably a burner or an app-number.

In GG's defense, I'd say RICHIE is the one who doesnt understand the concept of union membership. But he is completely free to campaign and vote against his best interests. Most union voters did in the last election anyways.

Now THIS is a first post!

Has nothing to do with Trump specifically, Im asking YOU to clarify YOUR stance. The question was: Were you fine with coach and player campaigning for candidate? YOU answered: If they did it on the sideline? You betcha (I'm fine with it) So you either misunderstood the question, or mistyped your answer, or are being hypocritical to your previous stance. I dont think youre a hypocrite, so I was trying to give you a chance to correct your confusing answer. Did you mean to say "As long as they DIDNT do it on the sideline"?

I dont know. Doesnt matter. The question was: Were you fine with coach and player campaigning for Trump? And you said If they did it on the sideline of a game? You betcha. So that's either the opposite of what you've been arguing, or you mistyped something. Youre the one who mentioned the sideline and then said you had no problem with it. Just giving you a chance to clarify.

Typo or hypocrisy?

Keep in mind, youre commenting in a thread where it was just argued that since the Womens team couldnt beat the Mens team head to head they dont deserve to be paid as much. That said, I agree with GG that players are free to do what they need/want to do on their own time. However, I dont think the National Anthem should be played before sporting events as it is, let alone force the players to be our there for it (new as of 2009), let alone be forced to stand for it.

Ehh, youd be surprised how quiet and shy internet trolls and tough guys get when they have to actually speak person to person.

"Is your Refrigerator Perry running?"

Fair enough on your Yannick opinion. And yeah, if Mike Brown were that dumb, fans should march and burn down the Bengals offices.

Fair enough. Let's see if they are willing to change it back, and how Reid reacts to that before we think it's "all about him". Which so far, I dont see, considering who he is fighting for.

What is the right remedy then? Simply change the wording back to how it was supposed to be? (Seriously asking) And I dont think any of us know what "Reid wants" as if it is all about him. From the OP, it sounds to me that Reid had hired independent lawyers, on his own, to digest and translate the terms of the CBA to former players who are now disabled. And he is providing that assistance to former players out of his pocket. And thanks to their work, they determined language had changed from what the players were last shown, to what was signed. Seems like he is working hard to protect guys like Darryl Talley, and Jim Richter. I'm sure Kent Hull could have used some help too. Even Joe DeLamielleure has spoken out against this agreement. So it isnt just Eric Reid.

Calling with this question: "What is the biggest similarity and the biggest difference between Saban and McDermott?"

For sure, and I mentioned as much. So far, all the figures we've heard are what he's asked from the Jags, where he doesnt want to be. Send him where he wants to play, and I'd bet he'd take a little less.
