Job hunting - A different kind of happy ending
I am not a lawyer but hired one who does employment when I was “terminated without cause” a few years ago. The spiteful owner of the small company had an overly broad non-compete that he forced all employees to sign (on your first day of work, after having left your previous job and possibly relocated, without having seen or known about it before). It effectively banned any employee from working for another company in the entire spine or biologic device industry (even if a different role) in any state where they had ever made sales for a period of 12 months. It was so broad it shouldn’t be enforceable, yet they threatened lengthy and expensive legal action nonetheless. I negotiated a settlement and stayed out is the industry for a shorter period of time. Complete horseshit.

A sign and trade for Harden should be off the table. He will get state income tax breaks plus he can’t put a price tag on proximity to Treasures and Mens Club from the new Rockets practice facility. No reason to lose valuable assets. How much would the Celtics get for Brown with one year left? The #2-5 pick (pending ping pong balls), Jalen Green, Jabari Smith, two of those three, all three of those? I’d give up any one of those for Brown, maybe one player plus the pick if it not Top 3. Would they take Green + Porter + Tate for an unhappy Brown?- Tell Me About The Houston Oilers
More future revenue would come if the Texans held the Oilers rights, even if they were just selling retro gear and did the once per season throwback game. McNair could buy the trademark outright or do profit sharing with them going forward. Adams is straight up trolling Houston NFL fans with her bitch face quotes, Oilers hat during the draft tv broadcast, now wearing Oilers uniforms when playing against the Texans. She isn’t trolling the McNairs since they don’t care. She isn’t trolling Bob Lanier since he’s as dead as Bud. She’s just being spiteful to the fans. That should be reason for Goodell or the owners to jump and in and put pressure on her to make a move or STFU. As I mentioned earlier, Texans did some fan feedback with a high priced consultant firm after last season and the first time they failed to sellout the stadium. With astonishment, they learned people wanted Oilers colors and/or logo (but not a knockoff the like the XFL Roughnecks). Hopefully it’s setting the tone against a potential trademark lawsuit from Adams (who somehow owns the right to Columbia Blue-whatever red-white combo on an NFL team), Hannah citing the old HPD police cars and other examples of Houston being linked to a lighter shade of blue, and they are working with a design team for “H-town Blue” to be used in 2024 uniforms.- Tell Me About The Houston Oilers
Hannah McNair hinted in late January that there would be new Texans uniforms in 2024 featuring a color called “H-town Blue”. We can hope.- NFL 2023 Offseason
It looks like $29M of $51M for 2026 becomes fully guaranteed in March 2025. $14.5M per year on the prorated signing bonus. Cutting him after the third year would be a $33.5M dead cap hit in 2026 and $14.5M in 2027 (or they could do it post June 1 and average the two years). Either way it’s not a painless break if they want to bail after 3 seasons. If they cut him after 2 seasons, they’d owe him his guaranteed 2025 $22.5M option bonus plus $14.5 from the signing bonus, and then the $14.5M again in 2026 and 2027.- NFL 2023 Offseason
Lamar wasn’t getting a contract larger than Burrow (or Mahomes). I guess what he got was fair, but I agree that the Ravens will regret this in 4 years if not sooner. Injury history plus inevitable decline in running ability will make him worse while the QBs who are better passers should improve with experience.- What the fuck is wrong with you, Houston?

Peter Quill dropped a mad bomb to break the Yankees’ winning streak record. I believe Hatteberg had more total bases than Peña for the rest of that season (?), which helped the A’s make the playoffs. Astros will need better analytics to determine how much of a batting discount is Maldonado’s defense worth.- 2023 Youth Baseball Thread - Fungo, BP & Bullpens!
There’s no 2023 Little League thread, but coaching kball and CP6 this year has been full of those moments where you know this is as good as it gets. This is my fourth season with the older one (fall/spring tball, fall/spring CP6). Every year I seem to get a disproportionate number of kids who never played before and kids with varying levels of autism. We won 2-3 games per season up until now, and they usually only give me 3 or 4 players from a previous season and the rest are noobs. This squad of misfit kindergarteners are hitting 10-12 hit off the pitch per game and learned how to turn quick outs at first and third. Last night we upset the #3 team in the second round of the playoffs. There’s no game like it.- 2023 Houston Astros Thread

Can you have him tell his Aunt Amy to stop being such a stupid, vindictive bitch and return the Oilers name to the fans of Houston? Who is she spiting at this point? Most City of Houston and Harris County politicians from that 1990s era are either relocated and/or dead.- The Mandalorian (Star Wars live action show)
Anyone weigh in on mustache theory? Moff Gideon had a mustache in S1 and S2. The Gideon that fought Din, Bo, and Grogu in the S3 finale (as well as the clone in the tank) did not have a mustache.- 2023 Houston Texans Offseason - A Huge #2
