Miller Park name change coming after the 2020 season
nodakfan17 replied to KeithStone53151's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
https://www.bizjournals.com/milwaukee/news/2019/01/22/american-family-inks-15-year-stadium-deal-plans.html This was one of my primary concerns about public financing for the new Bucks’ arena. I think it will heighten the uncomfortableness of future ballpark discussions. -
Miller Park name change coming after the 2020 season

I think they’re now a mutual insurance company, so wouldn’t AmFam technically be owned by its policy holders? I got tons of mail about this ... probably should have read it closer. -

I’m going to be upset if my homeowner’s insurance goes up next year. -
I am assuming you are talking about an actual Ghostbusters movie, with Akroyd and Murray to follow up to the Ghostbusters 2 movie? It’s apparently a sequel. Presumably, there will be a ‘handoff’ from one or more of the surviving ghostbusters to a new cast. The director of GB3 is the son of the original director. It will not be related to the 2016 reboot.
-
Wow, 2 bad non-calls cost the Saints a trip to the SB. I can’t feel too bad for them. Lord knows Rodgers has had his share of bad luck prevent him from winning #2.
-
I could not be more excited for Ghostbusters 3 in 2020.
-
Family Guy was pretty good for a long time, but now that I’m a parent (and my free time is extra scarce), it doesn’t make the cut. The Simpsons, however, still hasn’t lost its charm.

I suspect many DVDs advertised as ‘new’ on Amazon or Ebay are just used copies wrapped in shrink wrap.
-
I just Googled fixed annuity rates and noticed they were a little over 4%, so the guaranteed rate for new money is probably about 3%. No, definitely not enticing enough to bite. 7% would do it, but I doubt we’ll get there in this current business cycle.

RIP Jack Bogle I hope he negotiated with the funeral home for no added fees.
-
I wouldn't discount him as coming in as a QB coach. Getting fired as an first-year OC probably won't land him another OC gig this year.. Just pointing out that a mid-season firing didn’t stop Hackett from landing another OC job.
-
Does anyone else get the feeling the Packers are becoming the old Browns and the Browns are becoming the new Packers? I’m cautiously optimistic, but hiring a HC and OC from the 27th and 28th ranked offenses hasn’t exactly boosted my confidence going into the offseason.

I think variable annuities are a great tool for people 50+ that are hoping to get more growth out of their retirement accounts, but want to limit downside risk. To me (but probably not Dave Ramsey), the extra fees are justified by the guarantees. I wouldn’t touch a fixed annuity in a low rate environment. They are pretty restrictive and you’re probably better off shopping for CDs or a bond fund. The caveat here is that some fixed annuities will pay you a guaranteed rate for new money additions after the fixed annuity is opened. So if you open a fixed annuity in a high rate environment at 4%, you might be able to continue adding new money at 4% when rates are abysmal like they were 5-10 years ago. For that reason, I will probably open a small fixed annuity the next time we’re in a high rate environment just so I always have that guaranteed 4% bucket if (when?) the economy collapses again.

That’s pretty good. I’ve always been tempted to chase yield, but have stuck with the local guys who employ a lot of people in my town. Also, free suckers

Short-term CD rates are pretty competitive these days. There’s a good chance your bank is offering a 1-year CD around 2%. I finally put half of my emergency fund in a short-term CD. For years, it wasn’t even worth the paperwork, as short-term CD rates hovered above zero. The yield curve is pretty flat right now, which means there isn’t a huge difference between short-term and long-term rates. The 1-year CD rate at my bank is at 2%, but the 5-year CD rate is under 3%.
-
I see the Packers let go of Joe Whitt Jr. I know he has been touted as an up-and-comer in the coaching ranks, but I’ve been underwhelmed by the team’s CB play for years. Good luck to him.
-
Your points are valid. Every situation is unique. I’d argue that when comparing playoff records, losses shouldn’t be weighted as heavily as wins. Eli Manning (8-4) and Kurt Warner (9-4) both have better playoff records than Aaron Rodgers (9-7), but how many times did Manning or Warner miss the playoffs entirely? (hint: a lot) Search the list of playoff wins for coaches. You don’t get to 10 wins on pure luck. Do I think McCarthy came up short one time too many times? Absolutely. Do I think he’s a bad coach? Absolutely not. I’m ready for a change, but I wish him the best (unless he somehow winds up coaching the Vikings in 2020).
-
The internet is awfully cruel to Mike McCarthy. One comment I read criticized him for ‘only’ being 10-8 in the playoffs. For context, that’s tied for the 13th most all time. Here are some other coaches with similar records: Bill Cowher (12-9) Bill Parcells (11-8) John Madden (9-7) Tony Dungy (9-10) Mike Shanahan (8-6) Mike Tomlin (8-7) Sean Peyton (7-5) Mike Ditka (6-6) I agree that it was time for change in Green Bay, but hate that Mike McCarthy has become a punching bag.
-
Part of me wishes there was an obvious candidate, but given the existing pool, I’m glad they’re casting a wide net.
-
I suggested in jest that 4 teams was probably too many given the disparity between Alabama, Clemson, and the rest of the NCAA. In actuality, 4 teams most certainly gets us closer to a true champion.

Pro Football Focus graded-out the Packers’ O-Line as 7th best in the NFL during the regular season. https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-2018-nfl-offensive-line-rankings-all-32-teams-units-after-week-17

Very interesting and thank you for sharing. I hope they resolve things as amicably as possible. Purely speculative on my part, but I’m guessing Mrs Money Mustache didn’t like living on $50K per year when her husband’s blog was earning 10 times that annually.
-
A year ago, I would have said ‘no way.’ Now I feel like they’ve played it safe for a few years by rolling with TT / MM and it’s time to take a risk. I fully acknowledge things could blow up in spectacular fashion, but I also think McDaniels may be able to get the most out of an aging Rodgers based on his history with Brady.

I guess I can understand this when the parents are helping pay for the wedding, but when the bride and groom cover the costs, shouldn’t they get to set the guest list? Seems fair, but I know it doesn’t always work like that.

Dan Campbell really intrigues me. I hope their request is approved and they can bring him in for an interview.
