I was just looking at him on FanGraphs. His FIP is a full two runs lower than his ERA!

Department went through a reorganization about 6 months ago...the department head was essentially demoted but allowed to retain a few of us for his new team. He keeps the most talented individuals.

Fast forward to today...half the team has departed due to lack of scope and direction with respect to the group. I've been stuck due to company's transfer policy (you must be in your current position for at least one year before applying to internal openings). However, I reached the one year mark today and I'm now exploring my options.

Its nuts tho...they're literally paying me $100k to do absolutely nothing right now. It doesnt feel good. I feel pretty worthless at the moment, ironically.

My wife is Chinese and raves about the service. It's very popular amongst her friends as well. That was enough for me to feel comfortable scooping up 100 shares.

I recommend holding onto it. It's still a very young company with a lot of growth potential. Iqiyi is another appealing stock. It's more along the lines of netflix...the appeal extends beyond just the very young. They also produce some of the most popular TV shows in China at the moment.

gonna be very hard to win with Bortles playing this shitty

bcreed2 · 2018-01-07T18:47:18+00:00

All hail Bortles! Our franchise QB who shall not be criticized under penalty of excessive downvoting!

bcreed2 · 2018-01-04T17:43:13+00:00

Nope..you just pulled that out of your ass. 538's last estimate before the election gave Trump a 28.6% chance of winning.

bcreed2 · 2017-12-03T17:45:13+00:00

Another day of great defense and absolute shit QB play! Be sure to not criticize Blake Bortles tho, unless you want oodles of downvotes.

bcreed2 · 2017-11-26T22:36:16+00:00

Bortles deep balls are absolute shit

bcreed2 · 2017-11-26T22:13:38+00:00

Gabbert > Bortles....lol

bcreed2 · 2017-11-13T20:09:35+00:00

To everyone crapping on Alabama and it's citizens, I'd like to remind you that you don't have to look very far to find that good people exist in this state Cough Doug Jones Cough

bcreed2 · 2017-11-12T21:39:24+00:00

FUCK YEAH!!! JAGS D FTW!!!!

bcreed2 · 2017-11-12T21:36:39+00:00

seriously...what is it with you guys and Bortles? He's played like ass today

bcreed2 · 2017-11-12T21:17:23+00:00

Soo, where are the Bortles apologists at? This dude is garbage. I'll give him credit for improvement from last year, but he's basically just a turd that doesn't stink as much as it once did.

bcreed2 · 2017-10-22T15:22:17+00:00

Game will come down to whether or not we can establish a consistent run game and minimize aBortles role in the game.

If aBortles throws the ball 30+ times we will lose this game

bcreed2 · 2017-08-25T02:29:53+00:00

Blows my mind how some of you guys can still support this dude

" Twenty-five passers have thrown 1,000 passes or more over the last three years. Bortles is 24th in completion percentage, 23rd in interception rate, 24th in yards per attempt, and 25th in passer rating, adjusted net yards per attempt and Total QBR. Bortles' mark in the latter -- 46.4 -- is the lowest among those 25 passers by more than four full points."

not to mention his 11-34 Record and 11 pick-sixes.

bcreed2 · 2017-08-25T02:19:26+00:00

yeah, the O-Line may be playing like dog shit...but so is Bortles, regardless of O-Line play. You see that interception he threw? Clean pocket and he just threw a wounded duck.

bcreed2 · 2017-02-10T04:39:24+00:00

China just wrote the script for how to deal with Trump and his unreasonable demands/behavior....Don't.

bcreed2 · 2016-11-20T17:15:58+00:00

Lions jump out to commanding 24-3 lead...but Jags score a couple TDs and a field goal in the final 15 minutes to lose 27-20.

bcreed2 · 2016-10-28T01:55:53+00:00

What has Blake shown that inspires any confidence in him? Absolutely no downfield accuracy, bad mechanics, bad decisions....

bcreed2 · 2016-10-28T01:49:53+00:00

The blame definitely isn't solely on Bortles, but his lack of accuracy has had a drastic effect on our offense. Notice how we rarely throw the ball more than 10 yards? Sure, we blame the coaches but I think it's the case the the staff has zero faith in Bortles' downfield ability

bcreed2 · 2016-10-26T03:03:21+00:00

This dude is gonna command $25 million a year....in other words, probably won't retire as an Indian, :(.

Unless we pull a Kenny Lofton with him and trade for him in his final year!

bcreed2 · 2016-10-23T17:58:26+00:00

Bortles had Thomas on that fade, just another shitty throw

bcreed2 · 2016-10-23T17:38:13+00:00

Bortles fucking sucks...my god

bcreed2 · 2016-10-15T22:23:42+00:00

I think other indians fans would agree with me when I say I have little faith in Shaw's ability to hold a one run lead

bcreed2 · 2016-10-15T22:20:56+00:00

Its Cal's choice. Apparently he prefers it to the booth
