    Golden

    Bobby Burton said his sources are saying Golden is gonna go pro. Don't blame him, but it'll suck to see him go.
  2. The Athletic is still paying Looch $76,000 not to post there.
  3. fuck all the clickbait hacks who don't know a damn thing about Arch using his name for a quick buck
  4. Let's just go with some fuzzy numbers <$11 billion to develop a Hep C treatment 4 million with Hep C in the United States 50 million with Hep C worldwide So, big picture here, let's assume that only 80% of the world's Hep C patients are prescribed and can access the drug Gilead bought which we're assuming was $11bn to develop. If we amortize that to 40million patients, the mathematical expression for computing the amount each patient would need to pay for Gilead to break even: X (each patient's fair share of the amortized R&D cost) = $11,000,000,000 (The R&D cost) ÷ 40,000,000 (The number of patients) So, each patient's fair share of the amortized R&D cost is $275 Let's remember, however, that not all of Gilead's $11bn acquisition can be fairly apportioned to its portfolio of Hep C treatments. So it's more accurate to say: Each patient's fair share of the amortized R&D cost is <$275 Of course there are more costs involved when you are producing and distributing Hep C medication, on top of the R&D required for it to have existed in the first place. I don't think that number, per patient, is particularly high. Whatever the true number is, it's beside the point. What these companies are doing is morally indistinguishable from extortion. It's indefensible.

  6. He's a good kid from a good family.

    I'm not even mad that he didn't go away after the lawsuit. That's amazing.
  9. Two things can be true at the same time. Sark is an excellent coach. This loss is Sark's fault.
  10. Okay now you're just trying to get on Message Board Geniuses
  11. He is amazing at recruiting, amazing at development, amazing at innovation, and he has the football IQ to consistently win 9+ games every year provided the team is healthy. But as far as I'm concerned we just saw him commit strike two as a big game play caller. If I'm being brutally honest, our talent probably snatched at least one win from the jaws of defeat and those losses would have been because of his boneheaded playcalls. The team's tendency to underperform in the third quarter is on him, as a motivator, as a tactician, and as a play caller. His in-game instincts: trying to motivate Bert? trusting Bert in Atlanta? His instincts are questionable. If he is serious about taking the team to the next level, he needs to look inward, admit to himself that his instincts as a play caller in big pressure situations are not reliable, and commit to making a big change to how he approaches them in the future.
  12. The correct play was called (Len Dale White), we were just better.
  13. Thank you Quinn for a great career and getting us as close as we've been to a national championship since Colt's McCoy's injury.
  14. How are you going to preach culture and NOT TRUST YOUR GUYS TO GET ONE FUCKING YARD
  15. He is too clever by half when the right playcall is obvious. He needs to have a long conversation with Saban, and before this conversation he needs to check his ego at the door.
  16. we bother Howard enough I think we'll start seeing more mistakes
  17. This kind of thinking is problematic, perhaps more so than the thinking that led Luigi Mangione to plan and carry out a murder. You're saying it's okay to charge someone $84k for something that doesn't need to cost more than like $350, and the reason why it's okay is because the only alternative available to the patient would also be expensive. Whatever the distinction is between that and extortion is one, I'd say, without a difference from a morality standpoint.
