Marvin Miller and Donald Fehr ruined the game.

You're sparing Curt Flood? :)

I still think when the game is happening, players compete primarily for the sake of winning. It's part of what makes them good enough to get to the majors in the first place. I can't say money doesn't ever enter the equation but when a guy is in the batter's box or on base or the mound or wherever, he's still just trying to beat the other guy. What thinking about the money does mostly is add to the pressure to perform, which mostly affects practice/prep and all that stuff, but at gametime it's competing to win.

And when I'm watching the game, I'm thinking only baseball stuff and not about how much money anyone's getting. I think about money issues when I read news about it, over the winter mostly, but the game's still the game.

I've sold about everything from cars to medical software systems to elevators. I also started and owned my own manufacturers rep agency. I love sales. I now own and operate a small manufacturing company and I sell our products that we make.

I was extremely close to becoming a millionaire back before the crash. Me and Dad and my brother started a flooring contracting company that only bid big commercial and new residential contracts..I miss it, and I'll never have that opportunity again. I had up to 70-80 men a day working construction jobsites all over Florida. We lost everything we had spent years building in just a few months in early 07. Now I just punch a clock doing menial jobs for crap pay.

For the sales folks - what industry are you in? I’m in this group of sales people online and they all sell BS Saas, leads, etc. gets old they all bitch and stay at a company for 2 months. I always preach for them to go sell something real. Maybe they just suck.

As for your all's FF debate - Five Guys wins for me. How you all can choose a chicken place for fast food boggles my mind. Burgers all day.

Not that there's anything wrong with a chick a filet sammy. My work used to give those away on customer appreciation day and we'd end up with about 100 left over. The night crew would come in and go home with pockets packed full stuffed of chicken sandwiches. Throw some cheese on it at home and eat em for a whole week. Never felt great after eating thrm though. Chick a filet always has bad afterfeels. Not meteoric like krystal's, just not great.

As for breakfast, gotta go bojangles in carolina. Bo' rounds are undefeated in these hills.

The big debate at work for CFA was bbq or polynesian sauce. What yens think?

07-08 was tough for a lot of people including myself. The industry I'm in lost 90% of companies in it.

Down for that. I've read you want about 70% calories from fat. How in the world do you accomplish that? Oily salads and meats? Olive oil on errrthing?

Bulletproof coffee and a lot of Olive oil. You can tinker and modify your diet to your desire. I eat zero carbs during the week, but anything I want on weekends. Doing that has stabilized my weight at around 45 pounds less than I was last year at this time.When I want to lose a few more pounds, I just cut back on protein, and just eat a lot of green veggies or salads, with butter or olive oil, and go straight through a couple of weekends instead of eating freely...guaranteed that I will lose 5-10 lbs depending on how active I am.
