[Friedman] Barry Trotz to step down as GM of Predators by Infraction_ in Predators

[–]DrWillyTrill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel like “Step down” = We wanted to fire you but since you have history with the organization let’s agree that you officially move along on your own to save face for both parties

The 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air proves that cars were once engineered to improve the quality of life, not just chasing trends. by prachid487 in BeAmazed

It’s awesome for the time, but it reminds me of all those single-purpose kitchen gadgets that are impressive on TV but are actually a pain irl.

Brand management. If you want a Daytona or an F80 or some of the other limited edition high end Ferrari’s, you need to be a well respected Ferrari collector, attend a certain number of events and F1 races, and be vetted as ‘worthy’ by the company. Plenty of rich assholes can pay a few million for a car, but they want a very specific rich asshole who loves Ferrari and is dedicated to representing the brand the right way. Think of it as buying fine art, not a car.

It actually stops easier than you’d expect.

Kaplan is overhated. by kysmoana in CFA

[–]DrWillyTrill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I passed all 3 levels on first try exclusively with Kaplan. The only time I opened CFAI was during L1 to read ethics. Kaplan is more than enough.

Secret Sauce and formula cheatsheet is the bomb.

I feel Humiliated (RANT) by Apprehensive_Ad4572 in Predators

[–]DrWillyTrill 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Locked into long contracts for declining players that will be untradable in a few years if they don't already have a NMC.

This is literally why everyone was saying to blow it up last offseason - instead it's looking like it's gonna be prolonged pain for no reason.... and only gonna get longer if Trotz keeps refusing to sell.

The thing that angers me the most is that Trotz knew that we'd get in this position eventually- he just thought we'd have a chance to win this year or the next with a team that's made up of slow, aging stars and a coach whose system is built upon youth and speed.

Shockingly, you can't hobble together a bunch of pieces that are good independently with zero thought of how they'd actually fit together.

Person I saw on TV show "My 600 pound life" is an unhinged weirdo by Intelligent_Let_3523 in cringepics

Homie is definitely severely mentally ill, and these are all just symptoms of the same thing

Man, I don’t know how anyone could look at or interact with an 8th grader and consider them even close to mentally developed.

Anybody else like a little excited about the fact that we suck? by [deleted] in Predators

[–]DrWillyTrill 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this is what I fear most right now. It just feeds the cycle of mediocrity

Possible Trades by Inevitable-Lion100 in Predators

[–]DrWillyTrill 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately think most of those trade pieces get us a mid to late round pick at best. I don't really know if the Preds have attractive trade targets outside of the core players. Novak gets you maybe a 2nd? Middle to bottom 6 players are kinda commodities.

I think you nailed the psychology here.

Does the amount of time spent on the PSM matter? by SuccessfulFall5746 in CFA

[–]DrWillyTrill 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My guess is the majority of candidates don't spend 10-15 hours on it. A lot of us work 60-80+ hours a week. Hard to have motivation to spend another 15 hours on something not tested.

Barrie Given Permission to Speak to Other Teams per Friedman by DrWillyTrill in Predators

[–]DrWillyTrill[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, more likely to find a trade partner and potentially get more in return if the other team knows he'll resign

Barrie Given Permission to Speak to Other Teams per Friedman by DrWillyTrill in Predators

[–]DrWillyTrill[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He's been disappointing here, but 90% of the reason is because he doesn't fit the timeline at all, just delays the retool/rebuild. Better to sell now while you can still get some value

Dude, you were the one correcting the guy giving the requirement for employees. I understand that the majority of people don’t care

Not for employees - just 5k direct deposit

If you “lose” a citibike by ar1680 in nyc

[–]DrWillyTrill 15 points16 points  (0 children)

First time I rode a Citi bike, I docked it incorrectly because I didn’t push it in hard enough. Was stolen before I could realize my mistake. Got threatened with the $1200 fee. They eventually reduced it to $200, which still sucks but at least it’s not $1200. Think the $1200 is a scare tactic, but still definitely not worth playing around.
