    Great write-up, Tim. Really terrific use of both quotes and heavy statistics to back it all up. Hader embodies my frustrations with the budget disparities in baseball. He's a guy who the Brewers would love to keep long-term, a guy who would probably love to stay in Milwaukee, but ultimately has to be traded eventually because we just plain couldn't afford to keep a player of his caliber.

    Yeah, I'm at the wealth level where if something doesn't work the way I like, I debate whether I want to spend the gas money to go and return it. Elon buys the company.

    Phew, I thought it was going to be a story about how you accidentally punched your wife in the face. I'm sorry for being mistaken:) Not just customer service, but "I'm sorry" is said too much everywhere. I don't think I use it a lot, but my boss once told me to watch its use to complaints because "I'm sorry" implies some liability. Or just other cases when we say it despite having done nothing wrong. Or in discussions when we don't say anything wrong, but we apologize just because the other person doesn't agree.

    Double-dose of sleeping medicine and still didn't fall asleep. Then the back went out but I still have to come into work.

    Best honeymoon spots are probably in the Indian Ocean. Maldives, Seychelles, Mauritius.

    My best time in Vegas was at a tournament where I fell to 1.5x the BB within the hour, so I ended up playing all my chips once every 45 minutes and otherwise just sat there. I kept winning just enough to get me through the next 45 minutes and I didn't even realize how the tournament was going until I was moved to the final table. It was broadcast to a website and I got my picture taken. At the final table I held out as long as I could so that people could make their big moves and be kicked out ahead of me. Ended up taking 6th place and won $8.4k and I couldn't stop laughing at how absurd it was I would have lasted that long. I also have a vacation scheduled late-April. I have an invite to go work at my friend's hostel for as long as I want, but I hesitate some considering gas prices in a truck that only gets 14 miles to the gallon. The other option is staying here and playing golf every day, which doesn't sound too bad, either. Camping would be cheap, too.

    Since we're on a baseball board, I definitely recommend "Nine Innings: Anatomy of a Baseball Game". It's about one single baseball game, everything leading up to it and during, between the Brewers and the Orioles in 1982. Currently reading "Is God a Moral Monster?" and looking forward to the Andrew Klavan book coming out next week how classical literature mirrors the Bible.

    Been to Las Vegas a bunch but all I know of it is that Binions and Golden Nugget are right across the street from each other and are the best places to play poker. Play the tournaments at the GN and play cash games at Binions while you wait. And tell your taxi to take the side roads instead of 15 because that's the faster route anywhere you want to go. MGM and the ones on the strip are far more comfortable places to play, but that attracts better players. Only time I hit those up is if there's a big convention finishing up nearby because all the convention-goers flood in and they're terrible.

    I became a Bob Uecker fan well before I became a Milwaukee Brewers fan or a fan of baseball in general. I started listening in the dreary days when losing 90 games a year was pretty standard. Oddly enough I tended to enjoy the games when the Brewers were losing badly more than when the game was close, because as he still does, Uecker understood that calling the plays when you're already down 10 runs wouldn't hold the listener, and so he will just start telling baseball stories. He'd go on and on with some funny story with a quick little "line to LF for the second out" between telling you how he created the game "Ugly".

    Fine by me. What MVS was good at I think can be found for cheaper. Also smart move by him, as he's gonna get a lot of deep balls thrown his way with the Chiefs.

    Well since I've posted here, let's test..... edit: No, it didn't bring up my old post.

    Hopefully the strict moderation style from BF.net will continue so that the usual issues with internet conversations don't infect this place. No politics, no cussing, etc. The BF mods really worked hard to cull all of that and it definitely worked to the long-term benefit of the community.

    Why wasn't Watson suspended last year? The civil suits aren't all that recent. I'm also surprised that the Browns paid him what they did. You'd think they'd have a little leverage in negotiations with someone in his situation who also could hurt their playoff chances next year by missing a lot of games (or maybe just a game or two, considering how the NFL operates. If only he'd have watched a friend murder somebody and then covered it up we wouldn't have to worry about a suspension). Browns haven't had a decent QB since Bernie Kozar, who wasn't a world-beater to begin with. Makes sense to pay big and finally get one. Their fans really need it at this point.

    So assuming Adams has some great years with the Raiders and then retires, does he go on the Packers' Wall of Fame?

    My presumption, especially with Green Bay telling Rodgers that they're going to be more transparent with him, is that all the Adams plans were laid out to Rodgers before he signed. If there were any plans to trade Adams, Rodgers would have already known that and made his decision accordingly.

    ESPN as a whole is a troll account. But all in all seems like a reasonable trade for both sides.

    He must have immediately went to wearing pajamas all day long in retirement and Gizelle made him go back to work.

    I would only imagine the co-workers would understand that you negotiated the title only for resume purposes. They're navigating the same job-world, too.

    I don't really want the Superintendent position at my current work. Even other superintendents say not to do it for all the stress. But I'm leaning toward applying, anyway. I started this career at 38, so I'm way way behind in retirement savings, and I'm not sure I can pass up an opportunity for another $1000 per month.

    Bears could replace him with a guy like Zadarius Smith and get just as much production plus budget savings, so seems like the trade is a win for them.

    The EU also ends up buying their oil from places other than Russia, so worldwide supply also shrinks, running up prices. Prices pretty much always go up in times of war because price speculation plays a huge part in the cost. Plus oil worldwide is purchased on the US dollar, so when its worth decreases, price increases. Doubly so when the gas stations themselves need to increase prices to keep up with inflation.

    Goodbye, everybody else.

    Ugh, the CBS Sports website does this and it's awful!
