  1. Not a good comparison, the Cowboys severely underperformed with a generally decent roster and serviceable QB’s. I don’t think anyone would say the Dolphins underperformed with the roster they have had.
  2. You do remember he coaches the Dolphins, right? He also coached them through the period where they traded away their decent players to stockpile picks, allegedly made offers to tank games, drafted a hurt Tua to hang their future on, have an owner that is a joke to everyone, not to mention taking them to a .500 overall record in the AFC East and almost making the playoffs even though he had to use Brissett as his QB for a chunk of it, etc. I’ll take a sizeable futures bet that says at the end of the next 3 seasons they are below .500 for the period. Flores isn’t the second coming of Bill, but he can clearly coach better than some of these guys out there. As far as the detriment to Tua, he can put on his big boy pants. Everyone in the NFL is taking Watson over Tua.
  3. The world is turning into a bunch of over thinking jackasses in the middle of some sort of existential crisis trying to keep up with their internet “neighbors” with people constantly yelling at them on various “news” outlets about how pissed they should be about something that doesn’t affect their lives daily. Turn it off and just enjoy the fact you’re sitting where you’re sitting and it could always be worse. I don’t consider myself a “happy” person, I think I’m too much of a realist to be “happy.” However, I don’t watch the news, have zero social media interaction, visit this website and ESPN and a couple of others and that’s about it, go to church on Sundays, and live my life. I figure I’ve got a pretty limited window to enjoy it (and that window feels like it’s rapidly closing the older I get), but I’m going to try and make something of my time here and not give two shits what anyone else thinks about my life choices.
  4. No, expand the structure in place with more smaller scale incentives. Everything doesn’t have to be directed at the head coach. Provide opportunities for success and inclusion, incentivize the results that are deemed progress, etc. and push the change at the lower levels. There are a number of ways to skin a cat. Find something that works and achieves some semblance of progress. The couple of you arguing that he was going to get one of these last jobs have no basis to make that argument. NO has locked in from what it sounds like, Houston was going a different direction, etc. He had a reason for making the move now and we’ll see how it works out.
  5. Incentivize the result you are looking for through draft picks or cap credits.
  6. I would say that if his issues with Miami ownership are accurate, then he probably believed Ross was going to poison the well amongst other owners which would keep him from getting another head coaching job any time soon.
  7. Everyone is free to make what are seemingly bad decisions, your posts in this thread are evidence of that.
  8. Got the build notice for my F250 for the week of 3/7 5-6 months after ordering it. Paying invoice less a chunk when it comes in. Still waiting on the Bronco build notice, we’ll see how much longer it is but it is also invoice less a chunk. I’ve bought from the same guy for probably 8 years now, so pricing has always seemed fair.
  9. If you can’t see there is a problem in NFL hiring, then you clearly are part of the problem. This whole hiring cycle is a continuation of a long standing cluster and for whatever he reason he feels like he needs to take a stand. His lawsuit doesn’t have to be iron clad, it just has to pull back the curtain a little further than it is and show the Rooney rule enforcement for the hypocrisy it is. He may not get a dime (he will, but just for arguments sake let’s assume he doesn’t), but you can guarantee there will be revisions made to the hiring process and the Rooney rule. Hopefully, meaningful change comes out of it as he and several others should have jobs over McCarthy and various others right now.
  10. On #3, I didn’t go back and look but wasn’t the timing the issue. Didn’t the text come before his interview which means they had made the hire before interviewing him and that was just a token interview. I may be 100% off on that, but that’s what I remember from scanning everything earlier today.
  11. I’m going to need a few more than 10, but that would be a start.
  12. It’s always interesting what people focus on to try to help their cause. That was a shit throw, that doesn’t erase the rest of the game. They would not have been in that position without the pretty solid play in the end zone by the DB that caused the earlier interception and the dropped balls by the WR’s in the first half. Stafford has had a lights out playoffs with a couple bad throws mixed in, but anyone that doesn’t see how great he has played is just pushing their own narrative. Not sure what any of this has to do with Dallas though.
  13. It went back virtual for this year. They announced the week before while we were there a couple of weeks ago. The mountains were busy and running at lift ticket sales capacity MLK weekend, but people spread out pretty well so lift lines weren’t bad although traffic was pretty shitty through the middle part of PCM because people were staying off the bowls and outer areas because of thin snow cover. It would thin out pretty nicely after lunch though. Taking my youngest to Copper early March to get in a couple of solid days. Should be a nice little get in, ski hard, get out trip.
  14. You’re in the same position we are. The values on the Barons have gone up, King Airs are down, so we’re upgrading now. The Baron has been great, but we’ll only fly two on it, so we’ve been leasing a 200 and a CJ when we need more space. We thought about moving up to the 200, but at that level I may as well go ahead and pull the trigger on a CJ and be done with it. Most of our flights are inside a 6-8 hour drive, so I prefer the lower operating costs and getting there a little later and also don’t want to listen to clients giving me shit coming in on a baby jet.
  15. Not local to you, but can handle anything electronically at this point. PM me your email address if you want some information and I’ll send you contact info and firm information. I do a bit of tax work in my spare time for clients operating in every state currently. You’re bumping up against the W2 deadline at this point.
  16. We either drive or go the house sitter route. He doesn’t do all that great being left, so I think he would probably stroke out under the plane. As far as taking him everywhere, I’m fine with it. Hell, he acts better than most peoples kids.
  17. 65%+ completion percentage for 300+ yards and none of the fumbles out of his hands, can’t blame this one on him at all if it goes the other direction. He’s played as well as he ever has.
  18. Wife’s Escalade eats up some serious highway miles, will pull the boat, can carry the 2 kids and the dog and all their related stuff, etc. and does it’s all pretty damn well. If I was worried about having a track vehicle, I would just buy one as an extra vehicle. She’s been through Audi’s, RR’s, an Expedition, and numerous other vehicles and I’ll take the Cadillac over all of them easily.
  19. My wife can’t help herself with this mutt. He listens better than the kids most of the time which doesn’t help.
  20. First good buy I’ve made in a while. Had a client call me with a couple of recommendations and they thought it was trading at 50% of it’s real value a couple months ago. It has made up for some Stonks that haven’t been all that great to me.
  21. Landry was done at that point, that was one of the best moves Jerry ever made. No different than Mack and many other long-time coaches, you have to move on eventually and that moving on resulted in one hell of a run.
  22. Pricing differences are all over the board on the CT5 Blackwing. I’ve seen them at dealerships as high as $155k and I looked at another that was actually discounted from sticker to $86k. I’ve talked to them on the $86k one a couple of times, I just can’t pull the trigger even though I should.
  23. Man getting old is the suck. Went in for my twice a year checkup with my cardio and apparently my potassium is all fucked up and has him worried, so along with needing to go low carb already I’m also giving up peanut butter, red meat, bananas, and a variety of other things for a little while. Plain oatmeal and a bunch of salads have got me back down to my low point last summer quickly which is a plus. Think I am going to meet with a dietician at some point to tailor a diet around all his restrictions.
  24. Snow is pretty thin in Park City in places still. This is the earliest we have ever been out here by a couple of weeks and we should have waited a little longer. Of course it doesn’t look like much help is on the way either. The last couple of years of skiing Canyons we have been spoiled by powder everyday and a solid base where you could stay off the trails easily. Not really getting away from the trails this year.
  25. No, I avoid the political stuff. I have places in two of the most conservative states around, we could use a few more blue state people moving in. When we bought it was a heavily snowbird community and we were on the opposite schedule with kids school. We went for the summers and the place was empty, fall break empty, Christmas and spring break busy but we kept our trips shorter. We could eat anywhere, beaches were empty, etc which was part of our draw. Now with people relocating to live it changed quite a bit last summer along with tourism going up a bunch and it just sapped a lot of the reason we were there out of it. We’re looking at getting off the island we’re on and looking nearby all the way up through Punta Gorda and seeing what we can find that is a little slower. On the boat front it’s why I’m pushing for a trawler. The waters are overrun with people down there, but you can still get away.
