    I used to be a proofreader, and yeah, that was definitely always a concern that I might misspell a word in my letter and not realize it. I'm at a job now as well as that proofreader job where there was an HR rule that we had to call all references. I've known of some terrific candidates who couldn't be hired because we could never reach their references.

    There's a section in "How to Win Friends and Influence People" which talks about cover letters, basically what is attractive to hiring managers and which aren't. The whole book is great but that would be a particular section worth looking over.

    No chance to shake my fist as it gave me a pretty good start. I just headed to the campground to make sure he didn't drive into there. I don't immediately know if there's a "don't freak out the public" law, but I gotta figure it's in there somewhere and at least wouldn't have wanted him to hang out there.

    I'm sure Rodgers would love the idea of playing behind the best offensive line in football in Indianapolis. Best QB, best OL, best RB.....that offense would be incredible. Maybe they don't have that much as far as draft picks go, but I'd imagine if Rodgers demanded a certain team, Green Bay would probably abide. Couldn't you also say roughly the same thing about the Browns? I don't think they've officially exercised Mayfield's 5th year option yet. Can we even be all that sure that Russel Wilson will be traded in the offseason? It seemed like his issue was taking a million hits behind a bad offensive line. You'd think a first-round OL and maybe also a FA addition would pretty well solve that issue.

    Today I was locking our equestrian gate like usual. A black Mustang drove by and had his signal on that he'd be turning in right next to me, which is odd as there's nothing there. Fortunately he ended up just doing a u-turn. His windows were tinted enough that I couldn't see into the vehicle at all. But once he got close to me the only thing I could see from inside the vehicle was the white Jason hockey mask he was wearing. Couldn't see clothes, skin, vehicle interior or anything else apart from the Jason mask. And he was leaning forward in the vehicle specifically to stare at me.

    A year ago I was betting on the Dolphins making the trade, but at this point I would probably say Tua has shown enough to keep him as the starter. Sure are a lot of teams on that list you could mark as SB contenders if they had an All-Pro QB.

    Heck, not just the picks but he only had a year left on his contract. It could just as easily have meant the Bucks as a middle-road team without many picks to bolster the roster. I didn't really love it at the time, either. But I guess I can still not really like the trade even though it worked out great.

    Met a DII WR at a bar some years back and even his school was finding ways to pay him. He said it largely came through the school putting money on his dining card. Sure we're no Alabama or Ohio State, but we're not some rinky-dink school, either. And maybe being the biggest star at a still-big school pays better than being the #4 star at an even-bigger school.

    All of a sudden I wondered what happened to Devin Funchess. Looks like he only made the 49ers practice squad and lasted all of two weeks before being cut. If the Packers go with Love next season I don't know how they'd be able to go without also picking up a pretty decent WR. It's a little hard to see Lazard or Amari Rodgers as a #1 option.
  10. GAME05
    If Rodgers and Adams came back I don't see how the Packers don't end up having to do a soft rebuild, regardless. It would have to mean lots of players cut to get under the cap.

    I won't be getting the full 30 years at my work (started late), so I kinda just have to keep working until I feel like I have enough saved up. Plus the longer I stay the higher my pension might be. Don't save a ton per month, maybe $500. And then with my side business which hasn't started yet, I'm expecting to have another $600/mo to throw entirely into retirement savings. Not sure how high small-income business taxes are yet, though. And if I stay in the US for at least summers (I have it in mind to retire in Belize) I'd be able to sell hot dogs now and again for extra income if needs be. Hate paying 40% capital gains, but I'm expecting to retire before 59.5 years old and will need a new place to live upon retirement. I understand you can withdraw from an IRA early with no penalty if you're using it to buy a house, but more likely I'll be renting and not buying. Saving $13k per year for the next 12-ish years isn't a huge lot of money, but at least it's there to supplement a pension of roughly $1200/mo. I'm figuring I'll need about another $1k per month to reach the point of being able to live not rich but comfortably enough. Well, maybe a few hundred more than that.

    I mostly work by myself and live by myself, so when I go to trainings I talk way too much, annoyingly so.

    The guy who sold him that ticket and made a big profit has really gotta be patting himself on the back right now at what a great decision he made.
  14. GAME05
    Trubisky and Foles in GB next year would be hilarious.
  15. GAME05
    Eh, twitter and the media don't care about football and just want to celebrate that someone they disagree with had a bad day.
  16. GAME05
    Based on not a huge ton I keep thinking 32k might be right around the bottom. A friend of mine thinks 29. Kinda same difference, though either way I just have a hard time seeing it fall much further, especially having seen it hit 67 not very long ago. Long-term crypto folks sometimes have a way of dumping on Bitcoin holders because it doesn't offer the home run that the small stuff at least has the potential for. But you'd have doubled your money just playing the major highs and lows of it last year, which I don't exactly consider timing the market. Ignoring all the going-for-100x people that's an amazing return. Not counting this latest crash, gaming in general did something like a 5x last year. I'm still optimistic on the sector because right now the standard-bearer is Axie Infinity, which isn't even that special of a game, which says to me the formula is a valuable one and nobody has really capitalized on it yet.

    It's one play, not an encapsulation of how well or poorly Rodgers played the entire game. I have no idea. There's too many moving parts.
  18. GAME05
    If Rodgers saw the two-deep safety coverage before the snap, the mid-middle would be the first read and then the corners. You'd ignore Adams' deep route down the middle. They seemed to have disguised that well, but then if Rodgers saw the delayed blitz you'd again be wanting to look for the open guy in the short- or mid-middle. Either way the deep route down the middle would be the last place you'd want to throw it. The pass protection was good and the blitz was picked up, so there's no reason to have hurried that throw to Adams and the extra half-second would have been enough to have seen Lazard. At the worst you let Jones peel off his block and you get him in the flat for 5 yards. Really it just looked like a Favre throw. Rodgers is frustrated nothing is working so he just chucks it up to his best receiver regardless of the coverage against him.

    Is it crazy to think Bakhtiari may not be back, either? I don't know if his contract allows for that or not, though.
  20. GAME05
    Thank goodness we still have Giannis.
  21. GAME05
    He finished 2nd his last year, and Rodgers hasn't won it this year yet. He's better than Favre was, and the return will be better, but I think you're going to be disappointed. I think your absolutely wrong. Guaranteed two number ones at least probably from the Lions lol. No franchise-changing QBs in the draft worth trading for plus a heck of a lot of teams on the cusp but lacking a QB. The competition alone should drive the price pretty high. Tennessee, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay if Brady retires, Raiders, Giants, Colts, Saints, Dolphins, Washington, Denver. Certainly Russel Wilson wouldn't be a bad consolation prize. Or I guess there's Watson if you want to explain that to your season-ticket buyers.
  22. GAME05
    Adams is a free agent. But you would think that they almost have to franchise him so they can trade him. You can't let arguably the top WR in the NFL walk for nothing. I'd already heard they plan on franchising him if he doesn't sign before that. I don't think it'd be a reach to figure that someone will offer at least a 1st to get him. I think my darkhorse candidate to get Rodgers is gonna be Tennessee. Tannehill just doesn't cut the mustard, whatever that means, and Henry only has so many years left.
  23. GAME05
    Judging individual players I tend to think requires film study to really evaluate the decisions they made. I saw a film study on Baker Mayfield recently, who tends to drift a lot to his left when he drops back. Watching live you'd think the O-Line was doing a terrible job when really it was Baker's fault. Or maybe the WRs ran terrible routes, or maybe the playcalling was just bad.
  24. GAME05
    Whatever it is, I've assumed Rodgers made his decision a long time ago and that this one game doesn't factor into it.

    No touchdowns given up? What do they gotta do?
