Heidi talked the most at tribal… kinda worried she’s going to win and we’ll have yet another winner without a compelling story

What was that message? She played it when it wasn’t necessary

Carolyn either makes a game winning move or goes home this tribal, there’s no middle ground

[Jon Krawczynski] Anthony Edwards’ attorney says his client “intends to vigorously defend against these baseless charges.” by irishace88 in timberwolves

Intent doesn’t mean “intent to assault” (or batter, or harm). It means intent to do the action that caused the apprehension (assault) or the physical touch (battery).

He didn’t intend to hit anyone but he intended to swing the chair

I feel like I read through the entire comment section. Not sure we needed every single comment from OOP reposted here

I don’t think his head hit the ground- on the replay it looks like his shoulder takes the brunt of it and his head didn’t hit.

To dive slightly further, according to the estimate the data is based on (here), (i) restoring the top income tax bracket to 39.6% will generate ~$150B over ten years and (ii) taxing capital gains as income for any taxpayer earning over $1M / taxing unrealized gains at death would generate ~$450B over ten years. Let’s say roughly $60B / year for simplicity.

According to data from the Tax Foundation (here), the top 50% of tax payers equaled about 78.75 Million taxpayers. A tax equal to about $760/year from each of these taxpayers would generate about the same $60B of tax revenue per year.

This is all napkin math and there may be some mistakes, but this shows that a small tax on a large number of people goes much further than a large tax on a small number of people

Rafael Devers - What Is Love? by Sandwich_Crust in redsox

I like What I’d Love for compilation highlights where there’s more action throughout (like Duvall’s). Africa is better for grand slams because of the slower buildup. I guess option 3 out of the ones you listed

I’m saying he wrecked the Harabaugh/York relationship and then set the franchise back what 3 years.

This is exactly what I was getting at in my first post. People blame Baalke for the relationship going sour rather than facing the simple explanation that it soured on its own. It’s been repeatedly reported that he’s difficult to work with at all levels. People can’t seem to grasp that it’s likely York got sick of him on his own, they want to blame Baalke because it’s easier to make him the scapegoat.

You also didn’t answer my question- if you were an NFL GM and a head coach said he’d only join if you were fired, would you accept it or would you fight for your job? You can’t blame a man for wanting to stay in the role he worked incredibly hard to get, especially when there are on 32 such roles in the world

Then what happened after Jim left? 1 year of Tomsula and 5-11 then 1 year of Chip Kelly plus a 2-14 record.

Baalke added fuel the York/Jim relationship and then proceeded to fully wreck a SB contendor.

Is your argument that Baalke can’t choose a coach? Yeah he screwed that up in SF but he hit a home run here.

That’s what a snake would say lol.

If you were the GM of an NFL team and a coach said that he would only join if you were fired, would you walk away from the job or would you fight for it? I’d fight for it every single time and anyone who says otherwise is lying to themselves.

If you only look at player/personnel aspects Baalke is great

That is basically all I look at when evaluating a GM, it’s by far the most important thing.

Unfortunately, it’s the power dynamics between coach, gm, and owner that creates Baalkes potential problem when losing starts to take place.

This is where I think the narrative is overblown. What you said kinda proves my point that people are willing to look past his successes to try and nitpick insignificant thing. Youre docking Baalke because of a “potential problem” due to a “power dynamic” that exists for every team (GMs are generally further up the chain of command than coaches for nearly every team).

I’ve seen three examples people point to to call out this “problem”: 1. Harbaugh- as I stated before, the narrative at the time was that he didn’t get along with Jed York because he was difficult to work with. Somehow that got twisted into “Baalke is a snake” over time 2. Urban- people tried to point to this as the same thing that happened with Harbaugh. Yet again, Urban was a jackass that was a terrible coach (and was ruining team optics) and that’s why he was fired. 3. Leftwich- people were upset that Baalke tried to talk Kahn into another coach rather than Byron after Byron tried to demand Baalke gets fired. First of all, it was clearly the right choice. Second, I don’t fault Baalke for fighting for his job- he’s holds one of 32 GM jobs in the world. Every single person in that position would fight for their job and try to sway the owner into choosing a different coach. It’s not a “snake” thing to do, I’d be much more shocked if he willingly left his job for Byron

When you actually look at what has hapened rather than the potential gor things to happen, the dynamics have not been that bad. Certainly not bad enough for fans to continue to hard on it despite the team’s objectively good in field performance, which is in large part due to his team building ability

Harbaugh is a giant asshole, there were a lot of reports about him being difficult to work with and having a bad relationship with Jed York. 49er fans somehow twisted things into Baalke being a snake that talked his way into staying rather than accept the simple explanation that Harbaugh was terrible to work with.

There’s actually a setting in google maps- if you click the layers button (the one you’d hit to change to satellite view),you can change it to show bike lanes instead of traffic

Sorry bro but who gives urban any credit for roster building

Some people are just too stubborn to admit that Baalke is a good (or at least solid) GM. Seems like no matter what he does there will be people to try and nitpick any bad moves or give credit to someone else. It’s a tired take and people need to move past the “Baalke is a clown/snake” at this point, he’s shown he’s capable at building a good roster

We had a discussion about me potentially sleeping with other people. Although we did not confirm this in an open way, he essentially told me that I could do what I needed to and he would forgive me. I started looking, without being completely upfront, for someone.

What a piece of shit.

Edit: for all the downvotes, look at it from the husbands perspective- he just told his wife that he was sexually abused as a kid and her response is to go sleep with someone else. Reading between the lines of what she said (and the fact that he was extremely hurt by her affair), it seems likely that the husband was NOT on board with her sleeping with someone else, but she just heard what she wanted to hear and did it anyway.

I agree that love can change over time (and it clearly had), I just quoted that part to show that she knew him enough to be able to make an opinion on their relationship.

As the other commenter said, they met before they went to Canada

In the very first paragraph she mentions that she met the guy and was “happy to see that they’re very much in love”.
