The Big Cat

It's my annual review. Pres/CEO/Guy with his name on the door is conducting them this year. I've taken on a lot more responsibility in the past year, both client and otherwise. I'm looking for any advice for how to ask for what I want: more money. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Happy Thursday, everyone.

It's a big cat. Big Cat was a college nickname.

I never said it was about role models, Chuck.

That's an objective list of things he's done that are childish. End of story. I'd prefer our "stars," our "team leaders" to act like men. I cast no judgement on the humor/entertainment value of any of the aforementioned (I actually thought the minuteman solute was laugh out loud funny). I'm not alone in this opinion.

Okay, let's be objective. The following is a list of stunts. You might find them funny, someone else might find them offensive, someone like me might find them immature. Nevertheless, they are stunts: Tweet to God The ensuing post-game podium 'performance' The giant booty/thong birthday cake Doing press conferences in front of the Bills step and repeat wearing a wife beater. Minuteman Celebration in Foxboro (cost team 15 yards) Jets/Shooting self in leg celebration (cost team 15 yards) Why So Serious (cost team 15 yards) Happy New Year (cost team 15 yards, cost him a half of football) Blowing off Rochester event "I've never worked out in the off season" North Korea should bomb Foxboro Showing up to a photo shoot wearing a shirt that says "!@#$"

Probably one of the meanest things ever said about 11 year olds...

And you are welcome to carry out your life, unannoyed, But--clearly--I'm not the only one. Very valid point.

Thanks to you. I don't mean to be bitter. I haven't forgiven you for Mama Cass.

But I think that's the faulty assumption that many are making. I don't truly believe anyone is offended by the shirt. I think they (like me) are annoyed at our "star's" lack of maturity.

I cast no dispersion on those who aren't bothered by his lack of professionalism. But I'm not finding the inverse to be true.

This is a very fair and articulate summary. Thank you. I think getting fired would be a bridge too far for the 23 year old social media intern, though.

Since this question has been answered no less than ten times in this thread, and dozens of times in previous threads, I'm going to assume that to tell you again would be fruitless.

Cool read, thanks.

Don't stop him, he's on a roll.

Sam or Kamar?

Well, by all reports, Spiller has a many more touches to look forward to. I genuinely hope he can handle/fear he can't. Not based on anything, just guarded optimistic. Many here (myself included) thought Wanny had the stuff to make our defense dominant. He clearly did not. Because of that, I'm cautiously hoping Pettine DOES. As it pertains to Mario--I think moving him around, keeping him "engaged" will go a long way. But only time will tell. Gilmore's a stud. He was a stud last year, he'll be a stud again this year.

I need not add my $0.02 anymore, but you've touched on one thing I haven't bothered to mention yet, but that others have posted in this thread too: if this is an example of his role as an "entertainer," as was the case with the North Korea tweet, he's a pretty ****ty entertainer. I'm skeptical of those who saw this shirt and "laughed."

I guess I meant to suggest that if all teams benefitted from a list of 'what-ifs' like you've shared above, then we'd probably be lucky to have ONE player crack the list.

How half-full of you!

I'm fine with no Mario. He under-performed on a HISTORICALLY bad defense. Spiller should be higher, but his placement is fair given his actual production, not what he should have produced had he been used properly.

Gotta give the public what they expect.

Stevie neither works nor lives in the hood anymore. And if he was my multi-million dollar entity, I'd discourage any and all hood behavior. Yours is not an excuse.

I'm going to guess that if there were "creative" differences, SBC was right. I think we now have a ****ty movie to look forward to.
