  • I’m all for technology, but if it ain’t broken don’t fix it. It sounds like they won’t have a marker for players on the field to see. That could make things much more difficult for players on the field to judge. If they can reach out and run out of bounds towards a giant orange pole, it could lead to more collisions and injuries. Also, if they have to do all this calibration how are they going to handle mixed us facilities where they pick up and remove the grass? Or the Cardinals stadium where the grass moves outside? It just sounds like a nightmare.









  • If anyone else is like me and wondering how this works, I found a good article from 2021 that explains how they can do this by adding voidable years to the contract.

    Basically, if I’m understanding this properly, Dak signed a new contract for basically the same pay. This allowed them to give a signing bonus which would be spread out over the course of the contract. By adding void years to the contract they can spread it out even thinner each year. So, instead of taking a $5 million hit this year for the roster bonus, they can spread it out to $1 million a year over 5 years, with 2 of those years being void years. Then with some clever accounting they can make the hit only $4 million in the long run. This also requires Dak to trust that they will give him a new contract before those void years.

    At least that’s what I was able to surmise. If anyone sees I interpreted any part of that wrong please let me know.






  • I’m not so sure on some that. There is a reason Gen x was also called the latchkey generation. We pretty much had no parental support. Either because both parents worked or were single parent households.

    Prior to the 70s, dual income families or single parents were the exception, not the norm. As this changed rapidly through the 70s and 80s, child care and support systems did not evolve to keep pace. As these have become the norm, society as a whole has had a chance to catch up, which could be why you see more dads stepping up. Or most likely a combination of this and what you said.

    At least in my case, I am aware of how absent my father was and how it affected me, and I chose to not be that way with my kids. I’d like to think others feel the same way.

    Based on how much I listen to them on an on going basis, my top ones would be:

    • Metallica
    • Slipknot
    • Machine Head
    • Avenged Sevenfold
    • In this Moment
    • Alter Bridge
    • Any combination of Ozzy, Sabbath, or Zakk Wylde

    Punk/Hardcore that could be considered metal

    • Blood for Blood (although I think Buddha is a piece of shit)
    • Ramallah (former members Blood for Blood without Buddha)
    • Sick of it All
    • H2O
