I think Sengun will be part of the core, but agree on the sentiment. Take the best player left on the board. There have been championships built on the two best players being bigs (not so much recently) or two guards. This isn’t building out a fantasy roster. I’d take Ivey if they are convinced that the Chet is too big of an injury risk or won’t translate with NBA-level competition, or if Banchero really sucks that bad at defense and has no hope of improving upon his 18 year old self. I wish they would trade KPJ yesterday or whenever he is at peak value. They might have missed their window to get first rounders for either Wood or Gordon, and will probably take some junk for them from a contender wanting them and their expiring contracts.

::murfdogg enters the vasectomy chat:: 😱 I picked a guy that was youngish among a pretty modern practice in the Woodlands that advertises no scalpel, minimally invasive. We’ll see about all that.

I’m starting to hope Chet is the player that falls because the smart people convinced me they shouldn’t take him at #1, but now it’s sort of in destiny’s hands (unless Stone takes some scrub that was universally projected in the #10-20 range). The Green-Sengun-Chet combo could be some good shit.

We got Moderna #3 in November and caught Omicron in March. 2.5 days of headache with some coughing. I don’t know if that better or worse than most unvaxxed fare against Omicron, but I’ll choose to believe that Moderna saved us from hospitalization or death. We better have some super immunity now, or a bat eating chinawoman is going to hear from me.

Bob?

I wish my financial advisor was as smart as the people on this thread that knew to sell everything in November.

2.5% in 2022 pricing > 3% pre-2020 pricing. Get over yourself, Jenny Hart!

Hang in there guys!

And yet half this board wants to intentionally tank next year and not maximize the development of the 2021 and 2022 guys all for a lottery ticket.

Simple Tech, with the occasionally mixed in red alternate jersey, was the best Tech.

Working with and managing 22-30 year old engineers at two companies in the last decade?

Thanks for those thoughtful responses. I was referring to wanting luxury and feeling entitled when either young and/or not high paid or into the prime earning years of a career. Commentary more towards the theme of the thread of a growing number of entitled and lazy American workers.

Probably not, but they also likely didn’t expect $19/hr at McDonalds and to have the newest iPhone and a sweet BMW lease.

The parent sets an alarm to wake up every 10 minutes and slap the baby to make sure it’s still breathing.

+1 to many of these stories. We flew SWA 90% of the time the past decade in Austin. This past year in Houston, United or AA (and often JetBlue) are always cheaper than SWA by $100+. I hate AA so much, they are putting my ass in a middle seat on Friday because after I paid extra to pick my seat, all aisle and window seats are considered premium for an extra $94. Fuck you AA, Dallas Mavericks, Mark Cuban, and anyone else associated with your brand.

I finished my BS in spring 2003 and PhD in spring 2008, probably the two worst times to be looking for a job this century. I guess turning 40 makes me an olds (at least I’m a man now), but the last few years have been eyebrow raising to watch new hires in their 20s act like they are irreplaceable, should work no more than 35 hour weeks (9-5 with AT LEAST an hour lunch), and need semiannual raises and promotions while actively shopping for their next job. There could be a painful reckoning if a full blown recession hits, especially for all the ones who just way overextended themselves on a mortgage recently. For the record, I have always been in the “work smart, not hard/long” camp (insert TWSS). If my direct reports get their shit done, I don’t care what hours they keep. OTOH, this is tied to the bigger (negative) issues in society brought on by the internet and social media. People used to save and be fiscally responsible, especially for big purchases. Now everyone wants immediate gratification and thinks they deserve the nice things they see others have (houses, cars, iPhones, vacations, whatever). I cannot imagine the scale of house foreclosures and auto repossessions next year if the big one hits.

My wife and I got impatient waiting for an EV Bronco. Maybe this will do.

The fact a hundred million people still tune in to watch games called by Joe Buck or Chris Collinsworth shows it doesn’t matter who the networks hire and they really shouldn’t have to pay 8 figure annual salaries to these guys.

It was an honest question. The showroom model didn’t seem to have vents. The Bronco forums showed these stupid little vents on the floor beneath the front seats. I guess it cools your ankles? I guess more effective for heat in the winter. I’m glad the front vents blow cold enough to cool the entire cabin.

Is the a/c in the back seat shitty?

Full ROFLCOPTER. Our Woodlands Red Sox t-ball team has won back to back elimination games in the end of season tournament after going 0-5-7 in the regular season. Somehow our three special needs kids have not hit into more than two outs per game, the other team has never hit to one of those kids when they play their required innings in the infield, and 4 or 5 boys finally figured out how flip it quick to get forces at 3rd or home. This is hilarious. I wish we could beat one of the assholes with stacked teams, but our run will likely come to an end on Monday night when we play the dreaded Yankees.

Spoken like a true lawyer. There’s right, there’s wrong, and there’s the law.

It would be hilarious if Brock Purdy outperformed Trey Lance at 49ers camp.
