It's probably hard to isolate the many variables for comparison purposes.

Exactly. I don't believe in divorce. I'm allowed. Just like other people are allowed to believe in other things. It is what works for each person, man.

I don't much care about the superstars (although I do think they're held to a different standard than the owners). They'll get their money. I just think that the guys who are seriously at risk of losing their jobs to injury or coaches whim get fucked by the current system. And if they spread the salary cap around to ensure these players of a couple of years of guaranteed paydays, I'm all for it.

I don't think so. If the Jets are willing to pay significantly more than the Pats, isn't that market?

Agreed. Those players get used so bad it is unbelievable. But imagine a system that allowed teams to yank scholarships from players for being injured or because they recruited the wrong guy and wanted to replace them. Good Lord. All the initial casual sex and BMOC crap could be the equivalent of a signing bonus in that analogy.

I have already had this argument with Bilmore, who I'm satisfied to say, took ppnyc's exact same position.

You get your own new "whiff" category. When your response demonstrates that you have no chance of comprehending the original post or any attempt to explain it, I'm just going to reply with "brick," brick.

Whatever, Michael Ballack just effed my team's chances.

Thanks Patriots
 

Those guys can't afford to hold out anyway.

Not if they say that but aren't willing to trade what they know it'll take to get him from the Pats. Then they're just messing with the Pats.

As I said above, I think part of the problem is that a lot of contracts are being signed when people are drafted, and the teams don't know who's going to be good. If the teams were better at evaluating talent, you'd be more likely to see guaranteed contracts.

Whoa. Dude. That's harsh.

Thanks Patriots
 

Which means they are being fucked by the current system.

Well, the current system is part of the problem, because typically I would point to the size of the contract he would sign with the Jets, but we've established that that doesn't mean shit.

Do you really think if teams were twice as good at evaluating talent as they are now they would be more likely to give someone a guaranteed contract if they didn't have to? Come on.

I went to one of their games this summer after reading all the World Cup soccer stuff.

Needless to say, this was not World Cup caliber soccer. And they didn't even sell alcohol (maybe because the games were played on a high school field?).

To offset the lack of exciting play on the field, I think they need to have nuns giving massages, places to get haircuts, hot tub seats and a pig to bring out the ball** so there is a reason to go to the game. Maybe an announcer who will yell Gooooooooooooooooooooooal if someone scores. And definitely sell booze.

**All available at St. Paul Saints baseball games.

You know what? I don't care. you're lame and you post about reality tv all day like you're cool and you refuse to admit you're getting older and you're lame at least I own what I am...never pretend to be cool. you're like a total dork and you try to front like you're hot and run with the cool crowd. uh okay.

You already got one for the slave/comedian post on politics. Don't be greedy. Remember, patience and humility.

Wrong, brick. You do care. Because no matter what I say, it gets to you and you tell me how much you don't care. If you truly didn't care, you would just shut up.

Sometimes I post about sports. Oh yeah, and how stupid and pathetic you are. That takes up a lot of my billable time too.

Uh...what? You're makin' shit up again, brick. I am old as hell. I'm just not as old as dirt.*

Could be. But if anyone on the board could call me lame, it ain't you. You're a fucking loser.

You're dumb, even for a brick. Everybody who posts on this board is a total dork. It's a fucking lawyer's internet chat board. You are beyond pathetic because you're trying so hard to fit in, constantly fighting with everyone because you don't want to give anyone the satisfaction of chasing you away, even though absolutely no one likes you (even the people you think are your friends).

There is no cool crowd. There is just you and then everyone else.

And for the record, I have never said anything positive about my looks here. People can't even assume I think I'm good looking because of my assessment of you. You're that non-descript (except for the fat).

Just to clarify, I never hoped for a real wreck, just a moderate fender bender that would keep me out of the office.

And here's my tip for an emergency when you absolutely HAVE to leave or you'll lose your mind: Ipecac syrup. Even the most sadistic superior will have to let you go when confronted with a trash can full of puke. However, for obvious reasons, this must be used sparingly. You could go home and feel better half an hour later.

that is your opinion. you have been determined to strip away my "perceived" arrogance that set up was set up to fail from the get go. I am attractive and you are lying about that but whatever...and I do get a lot of attention and your standards are way too strict, halle's feet anyone??!!! you hate my materialism and my perceived pretentiousness you don't like me AND THAT'S FINE. so go with your bad self. I don't give a shit what you think about me....because I am so sorry so many men that are just much less of a lose than you are disagree with you man.

Pick one. Any one from the board and prove it. Clearly Not Bob doesn't count because he'd rather jump off a tall building in NYC than tell you the truth, brick.

Maybe you should take your own advice and leave her child out of whatever feud-of-the-day you have going with bnb? For the record, I have met the Brazenette and she seems like a happy, well-adjusted little girl and she has two parents who are crazy about her, who have set up their lives to do absolutely what is best for her. We should all be so lucky.

This is your business how?

TM, you are misogynistic and abusive and nasty and I am thisclose to placing you on ignore. I've had it. and people here think it is funny that you call me fat and a brick etc. et al. and it is not. you're a fucked up person and I really just am amazed that others don't agree with me on that one.

and who is to say that I and my husband do not do everything in our power to make our kids happy?

now it is some pissing contest to wit---which set of kids is happiest? you're really a piece of work.

Real close to walking out...
 

I have never said anything about your husband or your children. You told bnb and the rest of the people on the board that her divorce probably damaged her child. You don't want anyone to mention your husband and you would really try to drag her child into your fights. Hypocrite, anyone?


Ps. I can't believe the level to which we have to dissect our arguments so that you can follow them. It is sad, really.

I asked if when she writes shopping lists if her husband ever buys the wrong thing. I didn't mean anything about her husband- I just meant that it's hard to understand the meaning of her prose................. sometimes.
