    It absolutely was a bitch move. No argument there. But the Giants didn't give him a low ball offer, even though they had more leverage. They made him whole as if he was any other draft choice. 

     

    Add that to Favre's own drama in GB and he is being a hypocrite on this. 

     

    And FTR, DW signed the new contract with with Cal, Esterby and BoB, so he knew exactly what he was getting into. He's not an innocent victim in this.

    The Giants didn't have leverage. San Diego drafted Eli, who said he'd refuse to sign. He would've gone back into the draft next year and SD would've eaten that pick. So Eli had the leverage. The NYG wanted him, he wanted to go there. They made the trade and he signed with NY.

    The real drama was from Phillip Rivers' agents. Because he got traded from 4th to 1st, they wanted him to be paid like the #1 pick.

    When NFL contracts are guaranteed we can talk about this argument but until then being under contract means jack shit in the NFL. How can a contract that is only binding for one side matter?

    You can get one, but for less years and total money. Kirk Cousins got one. But they know they deal before they sign, it shouldn't take them by surprise. Roll the dice for a chance of a multi-million dollar salary or take a regular job like the rest of us chumps.

    Wasn't he all fucked up on meth a while ago? I vaguely remember hearing some news story after that stupid celebrity boxing thing he was briefly involved with, and in hindsight, the idea that he volunteered to be paid for getting his ass kicked by Webster or some shit suddenly made a lot more sense. 

    He boxed the guy that played Horschach on Welcome Back Kotter. A much smaller and older guy. DD roughed him up. It was just all-around bad TV.

    Ha, I thought about it for a second but I have a '16 Lariat and if I'm being honest, I like mine better.

  5. Sad truck story: My brother-in-law passed away last week, very sudden and unexpected. My sister is selling his 2017 Raptor. She had just bought a new SUV and has no use for it and the extra payment. He loved that truck. His commute was only 3-5 miles, so even though it's a 2017, it only has 21K miles on it. Selling the truck is the right thing to do but it's still just a kick in the balls to me. I miss my bro and I guess i'm just pissed.

  6. My brother-in-law passed away yesterday. He had some kind of cardiac event a week ago and stopped breathing, my sister was working from home and was able to call 911 & start CPR. They had to put him into a medically induced coma, as he wasn't getting enough oxygen and was having seizures. Things started to look like they were improving over the last couple of days, then they said that was it, they couldn't do anything to save him. I still don't understand what happened. The worst part is that he was only 57, he had so much life left.

    He was a great man. Loved and cared for my sister for 17 years. Served his country in the Marine Corps for 22 years. Busted his ass to get a masters degree and took every education/training course his job would offer. But he was so humble, you'd never hear him talk about himself or make himself appear to be some kind of big shot, even though he was.

    My sister didn't expect to be a widow at 50. She's handling it as well as she can but it's so hard. My dad is just crushed, he loved my BIL so much. They shared that bond that retired military vets have. I'm struggling with the reality of this, I just can't believe it happened. It feels exactly the same as when my mother died. This is a bullshit carnival ride and I want to get off.

  7. My ex-wife and her husband tested positive on 12-22. One of my daughters goes back and forth between our houses, so she got tested the next day and her results were negative. The ex left town to isolate and my kid isolated in her room until we got the results bank. Fast forward to 1-1, she's got a cough, sore throat, and feels like shit, no fever. She isolates in her room, only comes out while masked, gets tested yesterday. Well, she tested positive. My wife and the other kid got tested today, as they spent more time together than I do. I'm going to wait a few days and see how I feel before getting tested. 

    Now I'm working at home until further notice. Wife's been WAH for months now, no change for her. Kids can't go to work at all for a while. Fuck.

    The Capital One douche with the blue suit with no tie cool-guy look. Dude needs a baseball bat to the face. 

    First time I saw those ads with the "Capital One Cafe", I thought it was one of those Energizer ads, where the bunny would show up out of nowhere. Who wants to spend time in the fucking bank? I try to go as little as possible, I don't want to hang out and buy drinks there.

    Very true.  If he went to Oklahoma State and beat OU three times in a row it would cement his legacy as the best of all time.  

    It's hard to top Bob Simmons and his back to back wins but this would do it. I hope UM has the guts to go for it.
