re: Fable delayed until 2026

Wonder if they are trying to get out early before GTA IV makes everyone delay their games, or if there are some legit issues with it.
Very common issue in corporate america, typically 5% over employee rate is common in companies that have great procedures in place to manage licenses. I would be cautious that all of these are gotchas, a lot of companies will sell you a bucket of licenses say 500-1000 licenses are X amount and if you need 1001 you go up to the next bucket, so that would be really easy for lazy journalists to make a big deal out of something that is a nothingburger.

All that being said, if corporate America is bad at this, I expect the government to be down right awful, which makes sense if they are paying for 100% more licenses than employees, that’s pretty crazy.
They were 2 of the best who won their respective paths.

In the AFC there were probably 2-3 relatively equal teams - Bills and Ravens.

In the NFC a healthy Lions were on par with the Eagles.
And just like that a star is born. Meet Big Balls, liberal slayer.

re: Mike McCarthy tells Saints no

Regardless of if Mike told them no or not, I would be concerned that Loomis’s reputation is preceding him so much that no established or highly sought after coach will say yes to him.
This is where I think it would have been thoughtful to nominate Tillis for a cabinet position and get a maga person in his vote. Promote some of these people up because it makes it easier to move them out
Can’t be worse than the cowboys, so don’t get too mad.
With bitcoins instability around a 4 year cycle I think that states will be hesitant to adopt this once bitcoin crashes in the next 2-9 months. I say this as a big Bitcoin holder
There is documented evidence that the senior leaders and managers have to sign agreements to commit to the thoughts and ideas of the Chinese communist Party, including requiring CCP training on party ideas and requirements of a Chinese company. The is direct flow of data to China and there is direct influence on the algorithm by the CCP.

Turning off the site isn’t an issue on freedom of speech as there are plenty of platforms to use that are still open.

All that being said I think cooler heads will prevail and a solution that is agreeable to bytedance, CCP, and the USA.
I will list the problems and not problems:
-Dak at $60 mil cap hit
-Jerry as GM specifically the following three functions: contract negotiations, roster management, coaching/personnel staff decision making.
-top market contracts for players that are either not a top tier talent or top tier locker room contributor(you need both to get top tier money)
-lack of emphasis on interior of the front 7
-Salary Cap Management
-Operations not being solely focused on winning, too much focus is placed on the business of the cowboys, the brand of the Cowboys, annual revenue, and franchise value
-lack of spend on coaching staff (Jerry evidently does not believe is spending top money on coordinators, that why they got Zimmer instead of Rex Ryan)

Not problems:
-Mike McCarthy as a head Coach
-Dak as a QB


My point here is that Jerry is the main problem in how he operates both as an owner and a GM. It’s not focused enough on winning.

McCarthy is good enough to win a Super Bowl, but not under the formula that Jerry has in place, in fact I am not sure that any coach is good enough to win under the Jerry formula.

Dak is not a top tier talent, his path to winning a Super Bowl is more consistent with a Dilfer, Foles, Johnson, and Flacco formula. Meaning the money needs to be put into the O line, a couple game changing weapons and defense. Also it needs a solid defensive Coordinator.

Answer: Superbowl played in Dallas sometime 2035-2040.

Offense is fun to watch but defense still wins championships. LSU and the SEC built its reputation with solid defense which is now lacking and its why we are not dominating the playoffs.


I agree here, in 2019 if we wouldn’t have found our defense later in the season I don’t know that we beat Clemson. Also, had we had our defense to start the season we beat Texas and Florida both by 3 TDs each.

Our path to the playoffs is going to be by rebuilding the defense through the secondary and the interior of the front 7. Blitzing QBs is fun, but they don’t have to throw it when they can get 5 on the ground every time or their receivers blow by our safeties like they are standing still.

This is actually the correct answer.

I completely disagree with you point, this is not a Mike McCarthy issue, while he is not the best coach in the NFL, he has proven capable of winning a Super Bowl and plenty of playoff games.

But I do completely agree with your statement. It is insanity that Jerry is still running this team and people will still get convinced that the Cowboys are going to make some sort of run next year. As long as Jerry is setting the market price for players that are not top market in both talent and leadership (Dak doesn’t have the talent, CeeDee doesn’t have the leadership) and continually neglecting extremely important position such as interior defensive linemen, then the cowboys will not make a serious run at things. They may do well in season, but with enough time to prepare any time can such the cowboys down and score against them.

haven't read the bill but it won't be that short of a limit. Probably 6 terms or something similar.


2 terms for senate and 4 terms for reps

That is 12 and 8 years respectively.
Word of wisdom, be careful on this because you are playing with fire on potentially finding your company in a potential lawsuit. Specifically if the rating is tied to raises or promotes. Even more specifically if raises/promotes require X years of a certain rating in a row (terrible system but there are shitty company’s that handle it that way).

But let’s assume positive intent on this, if your employee is good, would you want to piss them off and have them go somewhere else? It’s likely that your company is getting some of its really good employees because they have great benefits like this. Would you want the reputation of the firm being “great benefits that you never get to use”? At that point you stop losing some of those great employees. Every single working adult under the age of 40 is using sites like Glassdoor, fishbowl, Reddit and others sites to get an understanding of benefits, culture, and other peoples review of working there. The really competent hard workers have their choice of where to work. I guarantee that a company with a reputation of “hardasses that are slow to promote, punish you for taking time off” is not a selling point.

If they are great, rate them as great as long as that doesn’t take away from another great employee that took up the slack. If they are bad, then you don't have to bring this up as an issue- their work product is already bad.
If Slive was still here the NIL and transfer portal would not be an issue, Sankey is doing a piss poor job of managing the product.
