  1. I can’t speak for anyone else. But, in my experience opiates, smoking, and not eating healthy are three mother fuckers that completely change your lifestyle. It requires a shit ton of work to change it back.

    Haven’t been part of a fire sale but have walked into work, gone to my office, and come out to an entire floor being gutted to cut labor expense. Awful feeling you can never really forget.

    Strangely, once the dust settled down I realized something about myself. And that was how much I had let a fucking job define me as both an employee and person for years. 
    It’s not that I was important, I wasn’t. But I made decisions and my opinion counted. In the blink of an eye that was gone. And for awhile I really missed that

    We know the record, lol. Ironically, it was campus hero Hank Iba that led the football program to dogshit during the college game's formative years.

    Nah, it was Bud being ahead of the curve. He noticed there were a shit load of WWII vets with eligibility left that needed housing.

    The point being, yes, you have to respect feelings to some degree, but I don't think you can really let them dictate much in the real world, unless they have a solid factual basis that you can actually deal with. Otherwise, it's like indulging a toddler, which is not a backhanded slam on the "protestors," but rather an analogy to just a raw nerve or bundle of irrational emotions that can't be indulged on every occasion, or even most occasions.

    It's a bit of a fine line and one that society seems to be having great difficulty toeing for the time being.

    I think that was well said…

    I agree. Having their fingers on the scales is one thing. Outright manipulation of the results? No fucking way.
     
    The big money gambling industrial complex would shit on that in a second ala’ Hot Rod Williams.

    Wait, you think the gambling industry is separate from these leagues in terms of manipulating results? Bless your heart.

     I’m just saying the powers that be who financially benefit from a clean game would protect their interests.

    Do I think there's like a unilateral mandate to fix games in any of the major sports?  Not really.  Do I think there's been personal bias or incompetence in officiating?  Yes.

     

    Do I think there have been moments where a league hq has hinted to the refs who they think should win?  I do.  I also think some of the NBA lotteries were rigged at some point.

    I agree. Having their fingers on the scales is one thing. Outright manipulation of the results? No fucking way.
