Where do you get the idea that brain surgeons would get paid such a paltry salary under this arrangement? Indeed, if the basis is “how they treat other human beings,” one would think that a brain surgeon - someone who probably literally saves people’s lives every day - would get paid a fucking lot of money for it,… Read more
Or KICK a football perhaps? Read more
I’d sign on in a second. It’d feel great to know that instead of getting the shitty pay I do now because I have no marketable skills, I’d get the shitty pay because I am a horrible person. Read more
I’d say the NFL did a great job of getting that ass-backwards with you: the better (public) person you became, the less likely they were to pay you.

So the really sweet old lady crossing guard who bakes cookies for the kids makes $150K, and the surly brain surgeon makes $25K. Excellent idea! Read more
Ray thinks there is at least one more way to measure one’s worth. Read more

I ... I ... I ... went to a Weird Al concert ... with my wife who joined me willingly, and I liked it. Read more
Jeez Milo, you’re such a wet, infected, blanket. Read more
The Stanwick family, considered “one of the first families of lacrosse,” Read more
This honestly was the thing that bothered me most about the show. They MUST be powered somehow, but they’re never shown plugged in and they can’t charge wirelessly at night because they’re often shown sleeping in places other than “their” beds. The only thing I can think of, to tie into other posters’ thoughts, is… Read more
Pretty much the same deal with Gregg Popovich over in the NBA. He adapts his system to the rules and the players, and while it never hurts a team to have an all-time great anchoring them for nearly two decades (which Belichik also obviously has), having a coach who actually knows how to coach is incredibly valuable.
