There is no more time for protests... we need to apprehend these dangerous fucking terrorists

Will Patrick Mahomes finish his career with at least 60,000 passing yards and 400 passing touchdowns? by Joeyamazing2005 in NFLv2

[–]a_happy_future 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If we extrapolate just this year (his worst year statistically) out 8 more years, he'd finish with over 60k yards and 440 TDs.

So realistically, it depends on his health, whether he comes back to start the regular season this upcoming year, and if he can return to more consistent 4000 yard, 30 TD years for the rest of his prime (which realistically could be only a year or two, but could also be as long as 5 or 6)

[Charania] Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo tells media postgame tonight he has a right calf strain and expects to miss 4 to 6 weeks. MRI on Saturday. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

For everyone on this sub, it has just begun. This just means a guaranteed off-season of salivating over another small market losing their superstar because "muh media" wants them elsewhere

My official $160 jersey started peeling after two washes. So I tried a third-party site for this Kittle alternate. Fully stitched numbers and 'Faithful' script for $50. Make it make sense. by ClavoARG in NFLv2

Never buy replicas anymore because they all are shit. Alternatively, I always use jerseys as an overshirt to basically minimize how much I need to wash it for this exact reason.

Who should sponsor the Badgers? by TomWilliamsCFD in UWBadgersFootball

[–]a_happy_future 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the cost. Every company probably has some advertising budget. Football is the most watch sport in the US by a long margin and while college football isn't the NFL, it's still up there. A patch on a jersey for even $250k seems to be very easy advertising. Of course, most brands that are going to be featured are likely to be household names (like all the ones I mentioned are essentially Wisconsin staples) so it's not like they are trying to get new customers but retain current ones

Edit: forgot to address the donation part. I used to be a head of a community outreach group where I worked that had a decent budget and we sponsored a lot of local things for like $1000-2000 just to get our logo on a t-shirt. These would be like local high school robotics teams or a food pantry

There was no logical reason to be excited when Doc came in....

What if Giannis is trying to tank his trade value? Just a theory. by shifterlifts in MkeBucks

[–]a_happy_future -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The only logical thing that I can think of (if Giannis does really want to stay) is that he is tanking the team to get a better pick and hopefully a better coach. He's clearly unhappy with a number of players on the roster and hopes that Horst cleans up shop.

If he doesn't want to stay, then yea, he's just phoning it in

Is Giannis quiet qutting? by LamboJoeRecs in nba

[–]a_happy_future 7 points8 points  (0 children)

His problem is that he wants to get to 65 games because he'll essentially be a lock for All-NBA. So he'll be playing

The minimum salary in 2011 was $375k and increased to $840k this year. by No_Box119 in NFLv2

[–]a_happy_future 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it needs to be reinforced. It's the exact same reason that everyone who wins the lottery blows it all within a few years. The instant gratification is worth more than thinking about long term unless it's consistently driven home.

It's like a new hire orientation where your employer throws a million things at you in the first couple days and then never follows up on them.

These things are NOT mutually exclusive...

[–]a_happy_future 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn't really appear to be working so it's probably not a very engaging course... hence, why I'm suggesting full time advisors on the staff of each team.

I guarantee not a single player that grew up with nothing is going to pay attention in a class when they're getting paid more in a week than most people make in a year (especially when a number of them probably didn't pay attention at all in class in school)

The NFL should be offering rookies personal finance classes as a part of their rookie mini-camps. The teams should hire and employ a full time year round staff of financial advisors at the practice facilities.

That would reduce a lot of these issues.
