Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Vol423]

Speaking of 401k....any of you ever taken a loan out against yours?

On paper I'm not seeing much downside... big chunk to pay for the garage build I wanna do, pay back with interest rate (9.5% or lower) and even the interest is going back into my 401k...

My only gripe is the max period to pay it back appears to be 54 months (why 54 I don't know...I'm curious if it's going by calendar year though).

But it just takes the payment right out of my regular check so not like something I'd even have to setup or remember to do.

Just keep in mind that if you leave your employer, the 401k loan may have to be repaid within 90 days or it will be treated as a distribution.

 

[SugarCC]

cool.

I agree. Very cool...in fact.

 

[knoxvol52]

I think it's 5:30

Game thread posted states 6:00 p.m.

 

[Vol423]

It's iconic, and as impressive as it gets.

Does a man need two parking spaces for 1 car?

No, but many women do

As far as Jordan goes, in this Modern NBA era, Jordan would average 50 ppg. The guy averaged over 32 per game when they could clothes line you.

Sure buuut

They = middle aged mailmen

Both rosters WERE stacked, with the Lakers being the better team, with a MUCH BETTER head coach. Not saying K.C. Jones was a slouch, but he wasn't Pat Riley. Lakers were slightly better in those days, with their HOFs being better than the Celts HOFs, except for Bird.

"If I had to pick someone to hit a game-winning shot, I'm picking Michael Jordan. If I had to pick someone to hit a shot to save my life, I'm picking Larry Bird."
-Pat Riley

Is your GoFundMe still up? I remember seeing it and meant to contribute, but work has kept me especially busy, blah, blah.
I’ve been where you are in life many times. After much prayer and trusting our Lord, he has put me in a good place work wise and financially. I want to help a fellow Vol and good human. Would you mind reposting it for me? I promise I will get on it as soon as you post. One day I’ll share how God has blessed me after the year I had this passed one.

 

[UpstateVol613]

Gators gonna gator…

 

[Devo182]

bird certainly deserves to be in discussion as one of the greatest. but he isn't the goat

Top-10 for sure though from 1950-2020 imo.

What the future holds idk. Jokic is making a run into the top 10 for sure.

Only more competition I suppose. Mostly robots and Serbians in the top-10 by 2150 I suppose.

UPS package handlers makes $17.11 per hour. @Weezer handles packages for free...

I think it's 5:30

I was wrong it's 6:00 tonight and 5:30 Friday for Vandy candy.

[Jackcrevol]

I agree. Very cool...in fact.

Yes I recall that. Doesnt take away from fact that the goat is 23.

 

[tnhunter 10]

 

[PKT_VOL]

Men Tennis-Roger Federer

Novak Djokovic has a much better resume. and arguably against better competition.

Poker- Phil Hellmuth

Phil Ivey is the GOAT.

 

[CABVOL]

Yes, and no.View attachment 740315

Rode that exact model a mere 3 hours ago.

I appreciate that, Ob. I truly do. I'm grateful beyond measure, and been blessed abundantly. The Lord is too good to me, a wretched roughneck and sinner. Fills my heart to hear that your prayers were answered...He is still in the business of giving us all that our hearts desire, as long as it's pure and in the right place.

I deleted the account about a week or so ago. Seemed it had run it's course. Again, thank you so very much for the thought, it means the world to me.

However, if you're going to help me out with 10 Gs like @InVOLuntary ...I can get that account back up and running quick fast.

Jokic is old school/basketball intelligent with dominating the modern game competing against “superior more athletic” players. How?

Did I say that it did?

Don't come at me bro.

I could argue a couple of those…with very little conviction.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

For sure some weird takes on Larry Bird

3x All-Defensive
3x MVP
2x Finals MVP
10x All-NBA
12x All Star
ROY
3x Champ

A career 49.6% FG, 37.6% 3PT, 88.6% FT those numbers should have him in the "greatest shooter of all time" debate...not acting like he couldn't play in today's game.

All that while playing in the same era as Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Dr. J, Kareem, Ewing, Robinson etc.

Great post!!!

Who was Michael Jordan's main competition in his "prime"? Karl Malone? Penny Hardaway? Detlef Shremp???? It's easy to be "the greatest" when your competition is sub par.

Once again, thank you to the ones that are really thinking about this and the ones that keep bringing a ton of unspoken facts to the discussion. I think a lot of you have had some things about Larry Bird brought to your attention today and are beginning to see that he was the best to ever lace them up.
