I am sick of pretending what he did decades ago and refuses to let go of is somehow clearance for him today.

He changed the game decades ago. The game has changed again since then. Repeatedly. But he wants to go back to the good ol days.

These are the types of cases that the FINRA/SEC has brought its entire existence. It is exactly what I said would happen based on what has always been done here. Especially people who are licensed have a set of responsibilities and rules to follow in these situations, and it doesn't matter what job they are, or are not doing. While the feds haven't gotten to him yet, they will. There will also be a lot more of these. Also for the record, one does not have to profit from market manipulation for there to be a crime. Mass Mutual is also going to get drilled into the millions for failure to supervise. Obviously I don't know the merits of this particular lawsuit specifically, but this guys worst days are still ahead of him. These agencies don't move fast, but they do move.

Yeah, having down time alone is good for the mind.

The best thing I ever did was take a paycut to leave a job I hated for one that paid less, but was more suited to me. It didn't take me much time to advance and make up the dollar difference. It is also sometimes worth leaving some dollars on the table to make your life balance better. I got headhunted a few years back and told the guy initially it would take 10's of thousands more dollars to get me think about leaving the job I was at now. Then they I started thinking about adding back the commuting times again, and declined to interview further because I can essentially make my own schedule here.

To honor Rush Limbaugh's life this weekend was declared your own facts day. Really Midway got an inch and a half, but they said it was 21 inches in honor of the man himself.

One could even say... disrespectful to the game.

I would concede that we didn't need another thread for this with three other ones going on.

They have definitely made some progress. The PP has been nuts.

It's an average of 25 million for a kid who could have gotten a 400 or 500 million deal in free agency.

So was Ron Gant...

I will let you debate yourself since you again ignored the threads that already contained this propaganda to create a new thread.

So you are doing exactly what you are complaining about as a way of telling other people not to do it. But we appreciate the lecture on how Tony is going to be great because he used to be great as a form of I told you so. You might as well get used to it. Jerry put this in place with zero input from anyone else. It is his fault this is happening, even when it was obvious it was going to happen. The Sox can write all of the propaganda around it they like, some people appear willing to eat it up by the plateful. But it doesn't invalidate the concerns that people have, no matter how much you lecture critics of the hire.

^ For the record, THIS is exactly what I was referring to when I was talking about Boomer mentality. The game is changing, and he can't stand it, so he wants to drag it back to the last century. Pass.

I won't argue that they picked the right guy, but the concept of what they did and how they tried to do it was 100% correct.

It isn't popular to say, but I am OK with what they did in the EE signing. It didn't work out, but instead of trying to force a guy who might not have been ready into a role, they spent only money to sign a guy that carried no obligation past one season, and still had guys like Collins and Mercedes, as well as Vaughn as back up options if they wanted to use them. I wish they had done more EE style moves in this off season to give this squad more insulation and protection against injury and failures.

Rick Hahn's initial press conference after the hire makes a LOT more sense that he was blindsided by this hire, than if he was a part of this process from day one. He was more standoff-ish and very intentionally separating himself from the process in his initial talk.

I am not sure if we ran through this same off season 100 times, that they could have done much more damage than was done to the Sox reputation since the World Series.
