When you’ll definitely get great ROI on your investment

In the past I’ve been tempted to argue that corporate HR people often get a bad rap, but this last week or so has strongly disabused me of that notion.

I feel like I’ve seen this movie but probably just because I’ve been sent this clip due to my known stances on Die Hard.

Chotiner and Menswear Guy would be an “I wish a motherfucker would” Tourney final for the ages.

Wut

One of the saddest things I’ve learned over the years is that nothing is seen as worse by “the man” than being right too early.

For the next while I'm gonna be in here regurgitating Gordon Wood.

Oof

I mean if you want to purple up Texas some more, this is great advice, Dave.

Leadership writing checks the underlying tech and/or labor can’t cover, and then guess who gets blamed for the inevitable failure?

I tend to prefer flavors of defensive RAPM such as those from NBARAPM.com or xRAPM.com for overall measures of defensive impact. EPM from @taylorsnarr.bsky.social is also good, but the box score prior can cause some distortion IMO.

But individual defense is *HARD* to measure.

Last time I played regularly they suuuuuucccked. Almost as bad as the Whirlwind.

That vindicator is awesome. Are they playable in the current edition tho?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There might never be GOOD times to do layoffs, but the week before Thanksgiving is certainly a bad one.

Well shit.

She should call city hall to complain. The number is (II-I-II) V-nulla-IV IV-I-I-V

The whole purpose of its output is literally mediocrity.

If Jim Ross never figured this how, what hope do the rest of us have?

Can charge more per ticket (especially season tickets) with fewer games.

Yeah didn’t want to muddy the issue but there are some knock on effects of no back to backs as mentioned here. (Also reduces the amount of *real* practice time teams get in season)
