I believe there is a place in the world for amateur athletics. Why should they only compete in crappy facilities with no crowds?

Levine links Sox to Conforto
I have no doubt he will rebound next season.

Olympics
Here's a stage we built for you, do you want to play? Turn down the invite if you don't want to play. The problem was it stopped being about amateur athletics. If enough professionals refused to play we'd get back to the Olympic roots and what made it special to begin with.

Fathoming Bauer not securing a job anywhere?
Let's start with an average guy with neither problem. Two DUi 100x worse. Sexual assault to get your rocks off 1000x worse by that the second guy. Who are you inviting to your next party?

The MLB lockout is lifted!
I didn't really think of it as two individual swaps but two for two a big and small for two smalls. I didn't notice it they balance AL and NL, coasts and Midwest, etc. I think with JRs history getting him out may help negotiations to move along.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean everyone isn't trying to car jack that sweet Bellaire with the hydraulics and spinners.

I like seeing a smaller market club replace the Sox on the committee.

If you cherry pick a few stocks I'll bet it's true. If you use any index it can't be close to true. Yeah, buying Bitcoin early was better than owning the Pirates.

There is no way on earth that is accurate.

Anyone ever had any experience w renal failure?
I'm sorry to hear that. No specific advice beyond keep seeking answers from other doctors. I see two oncologists that I have confidence in. As long as they agree I feel very confident my course of non treatment is correct. And don't accept any jargon you're not 100% certain of the meaning. Make them take the time to decipher and explain. Good luck. ?

I also think there needs to be a push to increase the number of staff hirings.

What Didn't You Learn in High School*
*but wish you had? I teach a course for college bound high school seniors. The fall semester is mostly about applications, scholarships, etc. As we get deeper into spring I have a lot of flexibility in curriculum. I'm always considering material to teach that will be practical. For example we explore retirement plans, career pathways, and laundry.

So whose neck is more on the line for staff coaching hire decisions?

Unless it's a salary cap. ( Which I'm not advocating for) There are all sorts of problems with a salary cap that makes it a non negotiable for players. But if you want competition a hard salary cap based on the what the "have nots" could afford has everyone competitive economically for free agents. But before everyone thinks I'm suggesting that's a good idea, it's not good for players. I would like to see a minimum based on the revenue sharing amount.

I actually was expecting better. I wasn't expecting Bettman to criticize, that's what a decent human being would do. But I didn't expect a defense.

After three days with their attorneys the NFL decided a half hearted press release would make them look better. Ah, no.

Players do not get paid for Spring Training but they do get bonus money for the playoffs. So maybe the players aren't all that excited about getting to Spring Training. Who would blame them?

It's just a money grab. Players received over $90 million last year. Expand the playoffs and they would receive even more. https://www.forbes.com/sites/maurybrown/2021/12/13/2021-mlb-postseason-player-shares-sees-record-9047-million-heres-how-the-system-works/?sh=5243490b2e15
