You sure it isn't Poli sneaking into your room and painting them?

Went to my nephew's football game on Saturday. Watched 5 qtrs of football and saw 5 concussions, 4 ambulances.

My nephew's team has 15 players on it. 3 were out with concussions and 2 more got them in the game. They had to forfeit because they were left with 1 player under 120 lbs.

I was shocked.

I can't help but ask ... did this feel legit to you or did it feel like excessive caution?

[sterlingice]

The refs must have been woozy letting them play 5 quarters

SI

[Logan]

Sounds like your nephew's team needs to man the fuck up.

The whole situation seemed pretty screwed up to me. There were a lot of WTF?!? moments. I was pretty far away from all but the first one and he didn't get an ambulance.

Their coach is terrible. None of the o-line knew how to run block correctly or anything.

I watched the entire game before his and then his game only lasted a quarter before they had to forfeit.

With photos, preferably.

$300 for a softball bat for my 10 year old daughter.

Yep, I'm crazy.

[CU Tiger]

So...my son is 12.... And a big kid for his age. And a decent football player.
I just got a call from a rival high school's HEAD VARSITY FOOTBALL COACH asking me if he wanted to move to the area as he knew some good real estate options. This after justbsaturday another middle school coach asking him if he anted to move in with him...just seems crazy.

He's a big 12 year old...but he's just an ok football player. He doesn't jump off the field at you by any stretch, yet.

I almost hope we don't ever get into the high school recruiting drama. Of course the financial side of me just Hopes he gets that one offer early

(and because I know I'll get asked...5'11" 185lbs size 14 shoe)

I'm not sure how much my nephew weighs, but he's that height at 12. I think his shoe size is 13 though. He's the one playing baseball and not football.

And my 13 year old is 5' 78lbs...sigh

[spleen1015]

That's just the way it goes with kids.

My 10 year old daughter is 5'3 127lbs. She could stand to lose 10-15 and will during basketball season, but she's just a big strong kid.

[Breeze]

Yeah, at this point if my son can get to that 5'11" 185 range, I'd be thrilled...

[MacroGuru]

My son, 13, is 5'6" and about 110, he has a 9 1/2 shoe. He is one of the taller kids in his class height wise.

He just started playing on the school FB team and will be a running back...go figure.

Tim Hortons Single Serve Coffee Cups (12-Count): Amazon.com: Grocery & Gourmet Food

Step two, unlock the monopoly and let the market drive own prices. We'll see if that happens.

Still drinking it in my fill-your-own K-cup thingie for now, but oh how I do long to fill up my local landfill.

Hats off to NASCAR for punishing MWR for what they did Saturday night.

It's probably best to just bury any of that conversation here anyway.

This must be some really friggin' good coffee if you are still jonesing about it 6 months after first mentioning it here.

Quik resurrects threads he started a decade ago. Six months is nothing.

(Quik plays the loooooong game.)

Agreed. I really wish they'd get rid of just about all of the former players, except for Tom Jackson. He can stay.

So coworker walks into bosses office, tells him he doesn't like his new role and he is done and they have to let him go.

My boss is dumbfounded, he has never had anyone walk into his office and basically say, fire me.

Thats weird, seems to me that he is trying to colleoct some benefit that wouldn't be available to him if he quit on his ow.

Oh absolutely, I don't think he can collect unemployment if he is fired and from the talk with my manager and the owner, it looks like that might happen.

I am getting all of his accounts dumped into my lap right now and I am getting pissed the more it happens. The guys has been a horrendous account manager but a great inside sales guy, it's going to be recovery mode for me for the rest of the year.

[DaddyTorgo]

If he quits he doesn't get unemployment...if he's fired he does. Hence why he's trying to get the company to fire him.

[jeff061]

Maybe he's bluffing trying to get a different role? Which is still pretty idiotic.

TJ is money, I actually like him more than anyone else on the show.

Former players are ok, like Marshall Faulk is fine. Im in the minority but I also liked Jaworski, even though he can be an ass.

Company didn't fire him, told him he has to turn in a resignation letter. He did that and is now gone.

Completely bizarre scenario.

Now I am training a new account manager, working my accounts and I just picked up the bulk of his accounts / closed jobs to manage and foster / grow. Sigh...

I wonder ... d'ya think the market would respond to a line of "I'd Rather Be Hungover" t-shirts, caps, etc?

I'm thinking those could be a hit amongst soccer parents, swimming parents, gymnastics parents, etc etc. Maybe bumper stickers, they'd be all the rage in parking lots where parents are waiting to pick up kids after road games & such.

There's a number of variations on this particular theme, here's one that I used today in a discussion about radio formats, what constitutes "Classic" and my notion that basically "Classic Rock" = the new Oldies and Oldies = the new nostalgia format.


The Supremes "Where Did Our Love Go" is as far removed from today as Fred Astaire's "Cheek To Cheek" and Shirley Temple "Good Ship Lollipop" were from radio listeners in 1984.

I typically do this with TV shows. Telling high school kids about Seinfeld is pretty similar to my parents telling me about Bewitched.

Unless they have heard it on the extended version of "Tainted Love."
