Urban Meyer to Jacksonville Jaguars
How do they negate each other? The reason they didn’t get Meyer is because he said no. Sark was plan B. In both cases, the BMDs were driving it all.

I assume he’s taking about the Mindy McCready thing, though even she claimed they didn’t have a sexual relationship till years after they met. Edit: yeah, was typing that when he posted confirming.

2022 - recruiting hangmen watch
So you say you want to recruit a hangman and then have (I assume) the condemned listed as if they are recruiting targets. Your metaphor is pretty poorly executed.

Property tax-free, clergy homes
Then yeah, you’re probably right (and that’s pretty messed up).

Urban Meyer to Jacksonville Jaguars
Oh, I was referring to your persistence in making that same comment over and over and over again. No one is thinking about Meyer unless they’re an abject moron. So you might actually have a point about some of our BMDs.

False dichotomies, how do they work?

Property tax-free, clergy homes
That’s semi-correct. Even with the housing allowance, they still have to pay property taxes if the buy a home. The housing allowance is supposed to be accountable too, reflecting either what was actually spent on housing or else the fair market rental value (so you can’t just declare your whole salary as a “housing allowance” in other words.) And even then, that money is not subject to income tax, but it’s still taxed for social security.

Property tax-free, clergy homes
The church has to actually own it and provide the home as part of the compensation package. It sounds as if your friend owns the home himself, at least based on the way you put it, in which case he'd pay property taxes just like everyone else. Churches do it both ways these days. It used to be much more common for them to provide parsonages. In the last couple of decades in particular, they have started selling those off and are just paying more in salary so the minister can own his own home and they can get out of the landlord business.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2022 - Idiotic Slapfights Unrelated To 2022 Recruiting
Wait, what? The same Roy Williams who had the worst drop rate in the NFL his last 3 years in the league? You guys realize that just because you play WR - even just because you're a really good WR - it doesn't necessarily mean you have great hands, right?

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
I hate the proliferation of EDGE to describe a 4-3 DE/3-4 OLB type. I don’t mind the term itself, but it annoys me that it’s all caps when all other positions are abbreviated with one or two letters. It should be Edge, abbreviated with just an E. The only potential confusion would be with DE, but it effectively replaces that anyway. We don’t say a guy plays CENTER or SAFETY. It makes no sense.

Texas basketball '21-'22: Welcome Chris Beard
His predecessor couldn’t even do that in 6 years. Yeah, we *should* expect better than that. But we need to be realistic too.

2021-2022 Astros Offseason Thread
I still can’t get over Burke being there at all. He’s not worth a dollar. Ignoring obvious guys (Bell, Alou, Finley, Luis Gonzalez, Hampton, Bass, etc.) who belong on higher tiers but won’t fit due to space, there are innumerable more worthy candidates at that level: Ausmus, Adam Everett, even Spiers come immediately to mind. You could pick any random jag and do better than Burke. Eric Bruntlett put up more WAR in Houston over the same time frame. Pull a random name out of a hat-Orlando Miller has twice as much career WAR in 2/3 the seasons. I’m probably taking this too seriously. But seriously. Come on.

when does the United States crumble? will it happen in our lifetimes?
I was thinking this same thing. In fact, if you start studying the late Roman Empire, there's a sense in which even it didn't fall so much as become decentralized. Its language, institutions, even infrastructure endured, in many ways down to the present.

2021-2022 Astros Offseason Thread
Bourn averaged 4.5 WAR for 4 seasons at the peak of his career (2009-2012). Doran put up a couple of 4+ WAR seasons and one at 5, averaging 3.4 for 8 seasons. Those guys are huge bargains at $1. And including them on the same tier as Chris Burke is almost insulting.
