shrader

He would have been a UFA after one year. This 2 year contract does buy into one year or that. But also, signing before the hearing avoids the massive headache that process is. That’s a huge plus for both sides.

That’s what we call moving the goalposts.

So are we still outraged and using the arbitration filing as a sign of front office incompetence?

Quite honestly, I’d take a similar view for Ottawa too. Things are different when a player gets a full offseason and training camp with a new team.

Another thrilling offseason conversation. All that matters is the sum of the parts.

We have them here, at least in one network. Apparently some of the good old boys need to hear a male voice, no matter how muffled it is.

Do your machines modify a woman’s voice so that it sounds like a man? That’s one of the dumbest things I’ve ever encountered.

I think they would have gone national on someone else’s back if he wasn’t around. But that doesn’t really change anything. All that matters is what did actually did happen and that was Hulkamania.

I think it’s going to take some time, but they’ll eventually sign. The team signing them will then have to navigate a media storm for a bit.

One of the guys on the board of my HOA is a wannabe lawyer. He’s absolutely horrible at it. I had fun sarcastically pointing out his errors. The best was where he said that my emails to the HOA were never received… and then later showed the transcript of those emails. way to go, matlock.

She wasn’t a choice. But yes, I still go with the brain. He’s the greatest manager of all time. If you ever go down that YouTube blackhole of his highlights, you won’t be able to stop watching.

We had an incident with our HOA earlier in the summer where a neighbor decided to park their camper at the foot of my driveway for 18 days. They wound up having the wife and I call into one of the board meetings to talk over it and why nothing was done. They essentially blamed us for the whole thing. Aren't HOA's great?

Congratulations?

I wonder who gets signed first. Teams will be walking on eggshells here.

That's what you get for marrying the president.

Heenan... not even a second of doubt in that decision

I’m sure people were watching other stuff through the blurry pay per view screens, but I can’t count the number of times I watched Hogan close out Wrestlemania or Summerslam back in the day. I miss doing that, the second or two where the screen suddenly became perfectly clear.

The only thing I can come up with is that my brother had an infiniti and my wife had a nissan. They're the same company. For whatever reason infiniti didn't have his address, so they looked up shrader in the database and pulled my address. If that's the case, that's really dumb. There's going to be a ton of name overlap out there for the Smiths of the world.

I caved and called back. Fighting all my biggest urges, I politely asked her to lose my number. So the harassment angle is the next approach if I get even one more call. I love how they can get my number but not his. It always amazes me how these contact databases get all messed up. I routinely get mail from infiniti (or one of the car companies, forget which one) at my home address for my other brother. He never lived in this state, yet they somehow put his name on my address.

I have a collection agency or something calling me 3 times a month to get my brother's contact info. How do I stop them? ...without giving them that information, obviously

The term you started it off with felt derogatory to me. If I read something into that which wasn't there, that's on me. I'm not around teenagers or 20 somethings, so I have no idea, but it does seem like most of these labels wind up being used that way.

You are familiar with hyperbole, correct? I'm just not sure why a wedding picture is the inspiration for these observations/criticisms, but like I said, the offseason sucks. It brings on the stupid.

So we’re outraged that he got married? What on earth is going on in here right now? The offseason sucks.

I turned on Ozzy's Boneyard in the car hoping for some music. Unfortunately it is going all out talk show tonight with a lot of "we'll get through this together" talk. Unfortunate, I was hoping for a better tribute.
