  1. Thank you Ribbie, in all the commotion I missed this. Juggs, explain something. I will agree with you that the Cell is a hitters ball park. I assume that means the ballpark favors hitters. So a team with superior hitting would be at an advantage. Why would you give up that advantage by getting rid of hitting for pitching? I thought if you have a hitters ballpark you would want great hitting? Maybe because we have great hitting we need a pitcher's ballpark? Any baseball fans want to clue me in on why if you have a hitter's ballpark, you'd trade hitting for pitching?
  2. The confidentiality he would need for his partners to agree to is that he uses leverage to get out of contracts when he no longer thinks they are fair. I'd want that held in confidence also.
  3. I offered to you a one post summary of everything you said and asked you to tell me which statement was a lie. You talk about my libelous paraphrasing of you, yet you do not point to any of my posts. You doctor up a quote in one of your posts, and claim it was mine. That's ok, that's an example of honesty, that's not libel? You claimed that a confidentiality ageement would prevent a company from offering a letter of recomendation. Finally an agreement that you believe is binding. Juggs, You're argument against Maggs has caused you to exagerate at best and lie at worse. You are trying to inflate your business experience to the point of being ridiculous. No one is believing you. As far as my experience in contracts. My work involves setting up international purchasing agreements. I have companies that are sourcing sub assembly components with suppliers. These contracts routingly require further sub contracting. So yes, I am familar to situation where sub contractors are in default and what happens to the prime contractor. Any supplier that does not live up to their agreements, shuts down a production line, demands price increases not outlined in the agreements, doesn't meet quality standards is not invited to participate in future projects. Production is too important to risk not getting product because someone feels they do not have to honor their word. You are right, they are rarely sued, they also are not given additional business. Contingencies are built in for currency echanges, shipping restrictions, air cargo charges if a supplier is in default, etc. A carefully negotiated contract that is negotiated in good faith is fair for everyone. Juggs, you lost this one and it's only getting worse. Quit now while you have some credibility left.
  4. Confidentialiy agreements would not stop a company from getting a reference. They only refer to trade secrets. Why do I even bother. You lie. Enjoy your life. No wonder you favor ethics being taught in school instead of at home. This explains everything. Link to Jugghead quote Well I guess we found the poster child for failed parents and ethics training. Have a nice day.
  5. This is not my idea of "fun with Jugs" Do we still have the hot chick thread going? If I'm stuck dealing with Jugs.
  6. dishonest in my parahrasing?? May I offer what you lied to and implied was a quote from me That wasn't dishonest? By the way Jugghead, who's more likely to read a contract, someone who plans on living up to the agreement or someone who doesn't believe it is wrth the paper it is printed on? Oh yes, you will read it to make certain it has some leverage you can use later to get out of the contract if it doesn't favor you anymore.
  7. I just gave you a summary of what I believe you have said. Please contradict one of those statements and I will gladly issue an appology.
  8. look above your post and Jugghead, scroll back through the pages and find the last time anyone agreed with you.
  9. Teach me something. If you are the owner of a company looking to open up an International Procurement office in Tiawan and hiring a firm to do that. Would you rather have Company A who believes a contract isn't worth the paper it's printed on, who has told you he uses leverage to get out of contracts he signed which he later feels are unfair. or Company B who believes his word is his bond, and has never used leverage to get out of a contract? Wouldn't it be a little scary to get half way through the project and have company A tell you that they should be getting more money and are trying to get out of the contract? Don't you think businesses make decisions based on the terms of the contract, buy materials, hire people, expand production? How could American business survive if everyone thought like you?
  10. LMAO. I am so looking forward to west Texas next month. Nothing like a week in the moutains. Last year the Sox went on a major run while I was without access to the outside world.
  11. Texsox replied to Steff's topic in SLaM
  12. I'm thinking there's a story to tell . . .
  13. I was surprised that each harp is tuned to a key and connot be altered. An accomplished player may have 10 or 15 harps for a single performcance. I wonder how hard Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye) is to play?
  14. Tell me which you disagree with: You said a player is greedy if he negotiates and signs a contract for more money with another team. You said a player is not greedy if he decides he no longer thinks his contract is fair and he can whine, moan, and hold out. That is NOT greedy. In fact it is "leverage" built into the CBA. Owners will respect someone who knows what they are worth. You said businesses respect someone who will not uphold their end of a contract if it is no longer fair to them. That contracts are not worth the paper they are printed on. You said you negotiated contracts and worked on a project that increased a fortune 100 company by 3 BILLION dollars, yet will not mention the company citing the fact I may be a terrorist. You claimed Maggs said several things and cannot find the article. I'll give you that one, it can be hard sometimes to find an article on the net. You retorically asked if it is in good faith for one player to ask for 20% - 25% of a teams payroll for himself? When pointed out the Marlins did that you were quiet. You pointed to the A's as a successful team, yet that had not been to a World Series in 15 seasons. So, which statement is wrong? Show me my statements that you say are wrong? And to your final statement. Why do you even read a contract? I read it to know my obligations. When I sign I expect to fulfill my agreement. That is good faith. You claim it is good faith to sign the contract knowing you have no intention of honoring it if you are unhappy later. Feeling lonely Jugghead?
  15. It seemed to work for the Florida Marlins last season. I-Rod's contract was for $10 mil on a $48 mil payroll. That's over 20%. What idiots. And once again, how are you defining "good faith"?
  16. LMAO. You think in the CBA there is procedures for when a player thinks the contract he signed is unfair!? Why then didn't half the major league hold out when A-rod signed his contract? So every contract is valid until the player doesn't like it anymore then he can refuse to play. Would you care to define leverage? This should be entertaining.
  17. Let's run through some of the criteria Any motorized devices? No. Physical training and skill? Yes Competitive? Yes I cannot believe I'm saying this, but it does seem to fit what a lot of people have said is necessary to be a sport. Only in America Instead of a foam finger to cheer your favorite glutton, you get a whole foam body.
  18. I'll bet the guy has been trying to find an out ever sense it happened. Nothing like a little unwanted attention and peer pressure to get someone to do the right thing.
  19. I was doing a little research and it seems like a lot of people recommend a diatonic in a key of c for beginers. I was going to pick up the Lee Oskar model. I am leaning towards some blues to be cool and some folk song type stuff for around the campfire.
  20. Careful you could be a terrorist. Has anyone ever seen Juggs and Ncorgbl at the same time? Does ncorgbl have a child? Just wondering.
  21. I'm thinking of taking up the harmonica.
  22. To combine two threads here . . . Do you know why blind people are not allowed to sky-dive? It scares the guide dogs.
  23. Damn, I wsh I knew how to speak English Americanized version. Frank was all f***ed up at the bar. He like had been ahh doing shooters all afternoon and said he'd jump out of a mutherf***ing plane. We called the parachute place on my cell and they were like ahhh huhhh the dudes like over 100 no way -- way. It was totally cool, they called the Guiness dudes and they were like ahhh cool. Frank was totaly into it. He was like cracking these jokes and trying to hit on the babe at the flight school who could have been his great great granddughter. During the dive, we all bet if he would s*** his depends.
  24. LMAO. If blind people can hunt deer in Wisconsin (true as of a couple seasons ago) why not drive a golf cart?
  25. It seems you're backing up the sheep, no way I want to get that close.
