  1. Based on their profiles, they are content marketing. They are putting out content to try to get people to engage and view/consider their services, as based on their titles (recruiter, "campus to career pathway", keynote speaker, headhunter) they are likely paid by providing their services to people. Yes, people who own their own business who provide business and professional services do a lot of content marketing on LinkedIn. It's cheap advertising and all it costs is their time to put it together. It's a form of advertising; like all advertising, some is good and some is not. I would not call content marketing "toxic", even if it isn't good.
  2. Curious as to why you think LinkedIn is a cancer. It made my job search a lot easier with being able to see if/who I know there, or if who someone who will vouch for me knows someone who may be the hiring manager or influential in the hiring process. Being able to see how many people have applied is helpful too as that can say if they're really hiring or if the job has been out there for a while (1,000 applicants) and they're not really hiring/hiring freeze/laid off the HR person who was responsible for taking it down. Seeing all of the jobs I applied for in one place and the status is very helpful. I have a little bit of experience with the job search thing and LinkedIn made it a lot easier than it could have been.
  3. UW used a template that came from the Big Ten for Lucas's contract. I'm guessing that template is something new, and only available to Big Ten schools, thus why it hasn't happened before. And I'm guessing that the two year contract that Lucas signed is not very common either. I'm also guessing that most college students are smart enough to know that when they sign a contract, it's binding.
  4. And within 20 minutes of UW releasing their statement, the Big Ten releases a statement in strong support of UW and also alleging tampering by Miami. In writing:
  5. Oh boy...
  6. Funny thing is that the Packers looked the best (least worst?) of all of them.
  7. He was probably the only celebrity who made their way into our living rooms, bedrooms, backyards, patios, and cars thousands of times. In that way, he was family.
  8. Not only that, but they closed the original Chippewa Falls brewery this week. Shifted all of that production to Milwaukee. Not a good week to be a born and bred Wisconsinite.
  9. I think you're confusing "price increase" with "inflation".. They're not the same thing. Price increase is a one-time thing, which tariffs may cause. Inflation is the rate of change over time, which tariffs don't affect because tariffs don't keep increasing over time.
  10. That's not what I said. I said that tariffs don't cause inflation (sources cited), the administration will not deport millions of illegals due to the cost, and that the California wildfires specifically will not affect inflation any more than the recent hurricanes in Florida.
  11. Gutey said in his press conference that there is an increased urgency now. So, I assume that means a shorter leash for coaches. Also, there were rumblings during the season that the DL didn't think like their coach's philosophy, so there may have been pressure from the players to replace him as well.
  12. The 10-year is artificially inflated because of fears that tariffs, deporting millions of illegals, and increased insurance rates due to the California wildfires are going to cause inflation to spike back up, causing the Fed to raise rates. Just fears. The reality is that tariffs don't cause inflation and that deporting a million illegals might cost an estimated $80+ billion dollars, which is unlikely to happen with an administration focusing on government efficiency. And the California wildfires have affected a small fraction of the number of people affected by the recent hurricanes in Florida. The Fed didn't start raising interest rates until inflation got to almost 8%; they' re not going to start raising rates if inflation crosses over 3%. To your point though, it may take a year before the institutional investors realize this. The Fed has said that current rates are "restrictive", and as I've learned the hard way, don't fight the Fed.
  13. But if you're a Milwaukee Bucks player, you can park across two handicap spots, confront and become combative with police officers, and then when they arrest you, you can get paid $750,000.
  14. Could Winker be the DH since Martinez is a FA?
  15. It's not uncommon to see criticism here of other announcers. Not just baseball, but most if not all of the major sports. I think a big reason behind that is that we became accustomed to the best of the best. And that has created unrealistic expectations of others. Hopefully we all know just how lucky we have been.
  16. Shouldn't need to go that far. The Intuit Dome is at least 12 miles from the southern edge of the Palisades fire, and if that is booked... might be able to resurrect the old Forum. The Crypto.com Arena downtown is 15 miles from the Palisades and Eaton fires. Long Beach State and the Honda Center in Anaheim would be large enough as well. Plenty of options, which may be why they haven't rescheduled it yet.
  17. Here you go: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/overview/_/year/2025 Your article quoted Spotrac. Look on the page - there is no allocation for their 2025 draft picks. Last I checked, draft picks count towards the cap. And there is no "cushion" allocation that they always go into the season with in case of injuries, needing to acquire someone, etc. So.... you're wrong.
  18. OTC also factors in a "cushion" that the team usually carries into the season in case they need/want to add someone, injury replacements, etc. Thus why they have it at $38M.
  19. Probably the same case with Jaire. If he doesn't pass a physical before being released they still owe him the money. Even if he does pass a physical, I'm sure he'll file a grievance and likely will find a doc to say that he can't pass a physical and they'll owe him the money anyway.
  20. Over the Cap has been proven to be the most accurate. It's literally what they do. And that page that you linked is 404. Ahem...
  21. $57M in effective cap space. But 22 free agents - Cam Robinson, Sam Darnold, Byron Murphy, Stephone Gilmore, Aaron Jones, Dalton Risner, Cam Akers, Camryn Bynum.
  22. Aaaaannnddd the Viqueens trophy case is still empty.
  23. Clock approaching midnight on Darnold and the Viqueens...
  24. Only $40M under the cap: https://overthecap.com/salary-cap-space The $65M does not include dead money or projected cost of their draft picks. Might be able to add about $7M for Alexander, but if he can't pass a physical they owe him the salary anyway and might make more sense to keep him and see if he can be ready for the start of the season.
  25. The Packers tied for the 8th most wins in the NFL with the 5th best point differential on the 3rd toughest strength of schedule in the league. Maybe they're not the Lions or Vikings or the Eagles, but the list of teams that are better Super Bowl contenders is not much longer than those three and the Packers aren't much more than a half-step below those three.
