  • Owners are going to cash out before the liability of player injuries comes due. That is what I see here.

    This may - and big guess here - may be good for the league. Ownership that would previously passed down through inheritance can now be sold off to structured businesses.

    Also, if a toxic owner is booted out of the league the path to financial stewardship is now a lot more open, rather than what I’d assume to be one of the most gated of circles it would take to be an owner currently.














  • He owed an Austin Martin dealership. The car is a rare model worth far more than its sticker.

    From what I understand about the new car business, I’d almost guarantee this car was floorplanned / purchased by the dealership itself (which he owned) and which then sold it for the final and ludacris sum listed.

    I don’t doubt he is an out of touch candidate, with zero connection to his constituency and probably terrible ideas on governance, but this storey itself is slightly less remarkable than the headline suggests.


  • Excel wouldn’t stop converting sku numbers to date formats. IT guy was excited to share an “easy fix” for that with Open Office…

    When I saw his genuine excitement as he described Linux, plus the security it provided I realized, if I ran Linux I’d have the best support in the company. And I did.

    I eventually had to move on from Linux at work after 10yrs or so but it’s all I run at home.

    All because of Excel and those fucking date codes. Which yes, Open Office solved as advertised.

    And yes I know you don’t need Linux for that but it was a long time ago.
