Still be patient. Last post for awhile. This site is bad for me and got enough crap to deal with. I’ll be in Neyland this fall. And will give em all hell.

You should use this place like I do...this is like the unfiltered version of me..It is cathartic to me, and it helps me.

Same. More like a never ending break room full of good buddies. Stop by every now and then poke your head in. Hear a joke tell a joke couple high fives and then get back to work!

Throw in a drunken bar brawl or two that started with MJ vs LeBron or politics\religion\veganism, and that about sums it up..

And never take differing opinions, personal. Like a lot of people on here and we disagree on several topics, then agree on the next, it's no big deal.

yep. i had a long talk with a lifelong friend the other day, and he and i see things a lot of the same ways, some others, not so much.

and he's your typical loud mouth red neck. and he knows it. and he's not afraid to tell you how he thinks, and why you're wrong for thinking the way you do.

people like that need people like me that can tell them to stfu, even when i might agree with him....it does get to the point of "wha'ts the point?"

anyway, long story short, by the end of the talk, i just said "hey, when you think about it, with all the jabbing you do at folks trying to get a rise out of them, have any of those interactions ever changed anyone's mind? were any of them more productive than the conversation you and i just had? "

and he said "nope, you're right, i can't talk to most people like this".

later that night, he texted me "you see my facebook post lol?" i said "nope"....which means i should go check it out...and i did....and sure enough, he's right back it his same old game....posting inflamatory stuff for the sole purpose of getting people to bite....and they do...every time. he's a red neck troll of the worst kind. and he's my best friend since 4th grade....love him. but he's an a hole about that stuff lol.

so, to go along with your point...............sometimes people are just wired that way and they really can't help themselves....and the ability to recognize that in people makes those interactions either disappear because you choose not to engage, or much, much easier to deal with.....

You need a new best friend, he sounds like a mouth breather.

It's probably because you're the opposite that you 2 get along. A lot of my "opinionated" friends think I'm easy to get along with too😅

But seriously, a lot of my posts include "not trying to change anyone's mind".. because it's true. I it's extremely rare for that to happen, I'm just adding my 2 cents.
I'm perfectly ok knowing others feel completely the opposite. Some prefer an echo chamber but I think that's boring.

Prayer changes things, guys. Just wanted to share a bit of good information & maybe a little motivation boost that WE WILL BE AND ARE ON OUR WAY to get this economy going again! This is a real good bit of news for the company I work for. We haul their parts along with Ford, GM, Honda, and some Toyota. FCA accounts for about 45 percent of our business, at least. I, myself, should be going back to work at least by the end of this month! Praise the Lord! Once the others in the Big 3 automakers catch wind of how they’re going about it, it’ll be monkey see, monkey do! 🔥

Doubt it with the loss of revenues now. All that’s was probably put on hold.

What loss of revenue has been experienced as of now? I am unsure how the financing of stadium renovation goes, but I would imagine the majority of it was done through booster donations prior to the beginning of the project.
