Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[Volbucky]

wow a tweet about actual sports from Clay Travis. Wonders never cease.

It would be equally amazing if you ever posted something positive and not opinionated.

 

[jakez4ut]

i wanna see the metrics that said Michigan was anything other than garbage. lol. that team is better than aTm? oof.

 

[jakez4ut]

Colorado st is Tennessee lite

truth. we'd run Michigan. badly.

 

[VolNash17]

He has not done good in the tourney…. This team feels different…. Hope he can get that monkey off his back this year.

Oh certainly. Wasn’t a Rick Barnes dig. More of a betting angle. Have us getting to the Final 4 so hopefully it happens. Rick is a nice guy so it’d be nice to see

 

[jakez4ut]

Heard Michigan PG is out...

Whoever got Michigan -1 may be regretting. No idea how vital he was though.

he is, but goodness....it's not like they're 25-5 and everything runs thru 1 dude.

that team right there....is not very good.

This game has been unimpressive and borderline painful.

TWSS.

turn on Providence vs SDSU

Doubt it. Braves Country spans the entire South. Probably one of the most “diverse” baseball fandoms factoring in college affiliation.

So now you are adding Bammer fans…. I think I just threw up a little.

I had seen this site a couple weeks back and bookmarked the golf because I thought that would be fun but tickets weren’t on sale. They still aren’t even after that tweet according to the website. Anyone know if it’s just already sold out or still hasn’t gone on sale?

Yeah, there will always be people that blame the player but it’s just as bad with teams. Look at the way the Seahawks just got rid of Bobby Wagner. He was there throughout the whole run of playoffs and Super Bowls, was First or Second team All-Pro and Pro Bowl year after year, even last year, and he had to find out on Twitter that the Seahawks released him… and yet people want to just blame loyalty on players.

The truth in all of it is nobody should be expecting players and teams to be loyal anymore.

No matter how much we try to manufacture a villain in this situation, there just isn’t one. Both sides had been historically loyal to each other…and both sides benefited. We don’t win the World Series without him and there was a strong cast put around him that earned him a ring. AA offered him a top of the market deal and he held out for what his camp felt was acceptable. Braves covered themselves and he got the security. In the end, two homegrown mainstays went home…no losers.

12.3% tax rate in California for anything north of 625k.

So knock off about 3.3 million yearly. So over 6 years of that 22million he'd be losing between 18 million and 20 million for state taxes. Still netting an additional 2+ million.

I'm sure had he gotten the extra year offered to stay in Atlanta he would have. Guessing that extra year was a big concern. I also think player pensions pay out based on years in league etc. so it probably isn't as cut and dry as just looking at the two contracts side by side.

Differential analysis.

Aka need to only include differential amounts in order to analyze. Iirc GA's top rate is near 6%. So the difference is about half.

Maybe it’s your diet?

I agree for sure in this situation. I was just speaking in generalities about loyalties within sports.

I’ve been on a diet for awhile now….. that does make me a little sick feeling thinking about it as well.

 

[volbeast33]

Matt Olson did help lead me to my fantasy baseball championship last years as I absolutely annihilated my competition.

Today may be my least productive day of the year... but Go Vols

They're top 35 in both NET and KenPom.

And Vegas has them a 1 pt favorite over a 5 seed...not sure if before/after PG out...but regardless.

It’s a business no doubt. But the best businesses inspire a level of dedication and loyalty. When you’re simply punchin a clock and counting the minutes, it shows. When you’re hanging out together afterwards on purpose, it shows.

Yeah I didn't even lookup to see what GA's top rate was. But end of the day regardless of all the extra noise/considers he's making more money in California and has an extra year on the deal.
