Will be flying back to Tucson next Wed - it's all official now, I start work May 15th or perhaps the week afterward depending on how the house hunting goes
Drove past Univ Of Arizona on the last trip and didn't know that they were right downtown -- looked at football tickets thinking maybe it'd be cheaper the an SEC game ---- NAH, not really......$150 for the highest seats
I'm already white -- but I'm going to be like,,,,,MOZZARELLA WHITE out there for the first.......probably the whole time
Phoenix is about an hour and 1/2 up the road -- any suggestions for that place?
Don't know much about it......their football field rolls out on a giant baking sheet and can be seen from very high up however
Like the tone of the post -- sounds like you are taking it head on
Do you have people to go to when you just need to vent?
I come here for that mostly......or to other musicians that are as nutty as I am
Man... the last time I saw Rudd was GYEROlympics, I think.
Glad you're back, bud.

Hello Willy.
Wyvern,
-head on is the only way to deal with heavy stuff. the last of the serious business stuff/fallout was put to bed a year or so ago.
-i have a strong family and a few good friends to lean on.
-with all the summit hype...i didnt mention the new Ross store going in at North Park shopping center. Its a pretty big deal.

Let me ask this wise and noble thread for a little advice.....for a friend
Let's say you were separated from your elders mother who essentially lives alone -- but is renting out a house next door
let's say you had concerns over who moved in --- and thought that person might possibly try to take advantage of your family --- think more 'velvet glove' than 'meth head'
The kind of person you probably can't just go after right away -- the type that's charming folks in a kind of little fish, overly confident kind of way
What are some of the methods you might use to let him know that he's being watched
Let's say you've got his phone , email and have a phillipine sister in law running a back ground check
and JUST for the hell of it -- let's say you sent some texts that might have said something like
"you enjoying the new house in H-xxxxxxx?"
"you be nice to those good folks up there"
Let's just say that was happening to your friend Burt Nelson
What would you suggest?

No doubt that a knock on the door would be in order if we had something on him, Anth
My buddy has a brother in Pikeville so it'd probably be those two that showed up ---
I guess there's nothing much else a person CAN do until something goes wrong
But then it's too damn late
knew it was a long shot -- but this board and this thread are interesting animals
if someone shows up who's had a near similar experience - it wouldn't surprise me at all
Nephew just got into Marshall as he pursues some kind of P/T post graduate thing
I've never been there -- always pictured it to be IN THE MOUNTAINS
Apparently it's flat
well,.....it was news to me
I mean, is anyone surprised that of all the people fired at ESPN, that Dana O'Neill is the one who wrote a multi-tweet Mea Culpa about her Woe Is Me Situation?
Jayson Stark sucks, badly. But thought Andy Glockner said it best, as much as I loathe him on the twitter machine, in that there is no value in those that "Stick to Sports" and just do their job.

popsicles are for toddlers and hot women. I'll pass.
I'm confused as to how all of the shows people hate on ESPN, seem to be the highest rated or most profitable. Do people still just tune in by habit?
Here's your successful business model:
Sportscenter w/ Charlie Steiner and Kenny Mayne- 5AM to Noon
Stump the Schwab and vintage NFL Films- Noon to 3PM
Old Maui Classic games-3PM to 7PM
Live sports- 7PM to Midnight
Baseball Tonight (or seasonal sports show)- Midnight to 1AM
Off Air

You don't tell Whole Foods to "seek life elsewhere" so that you can "rebrand" your selection of stores.
Jesus Christ.
I think anyone assuming this nicer shopping area will flop after a couple of years in lexington is vastly underestimating the money in the city and the shopping habits of people today. It will do just fine.
Yeah, I'm sure that new Vineyard Vines will really struggle in Lexington. Hate that for them.
IIRC, Lexington Green already "rebranded" when it brought in Lululemon, Anthropologie, etc. Not sure these departures will do that place any favors.
IIRC, UKO doesn't know WTF he's talking about.
Worst case scenario is you just replace the stores that fail with JD Becker's or Kennedy's and watch them flock.
Bowling Green has had an artisan popsicle shop for about a year now proving once again, when it comes to cultural fads, you'd better not sleep on South Central.
Andy Katz, damn.
Remember absolutely loathing him back in the beginning, but over time, he became the most consistent and least-obnoxious 'insider' in sports, imo -- dude was just solid, best in the game in his role imo. Plus, he was Cal's boy and had all sorts of cool stuff about UK.
Don't tell me Goodman is going to be THE cbb guy now. :weary:

Again, letting go of these folks will accomplish basically nothing when it comes to ESPN's problems. I guess it looks good to investors, but it amounts to pissing on a forest fire.
I thought they were just axing the highly paid talent to bring in younger people that can do the same job at a fraction of the cost.
"We have the convergence of a politically charged environment and all these new technologies coming together at once," ESPN's vice president, Craig Bengtson, said at the time. "Based on that, we wanted the policy to reflect the reality of the world today. There are people talking about politics in ways we have not seen before, and we're not immune from that."
Quite the about face from their stance prior to November when they claimed they did not want their employees weighing in on these topics.
Clearly not part of their fiscal struggles, but shows they're all-in on crossing over into that arena, if the Caitlyn Jenner courage award thing didn't already tip you off.
Good article on how the layoffs at Deadspin were basically posturing for stockholders and does nothing for the eventual result at ESPN.
"Sure, it’s possible that veterans like McManus and Stark and Ed Werder were carrying hefty salaries, but no amount of fired reporters and columnists is going to put even the tiniest dent in ESPN’s rights fees. Add up all the salaries of the people who lost their jobs today, and how much of a single Monday Night Football broadcast does it buy? Ten minutes? Fifteen?"

Not to go Homer Simpson gif here but it reeks of when Mr. Burns put apples in the vending machine. Its like everyone hates the First Take and The Six ******** and ESPN is saying well take more of it. Because none of those hacks got fired.
Broadcast rights have to come down in price at some point, no? I mean that SEC Network cash cow is going to run a bit thinner in the future, imo. Use it wisely while we have it.
I would think so, almost seems like broadcast rights are in a bubble that's about to burst - they are asking ridiculous prices that aren't paying off for networks anymore.
I thought there is about 8 more years on the SEC Network Contract so after that could be trouble.
I read detailed article a few years back about how First Take was a revolutionary program, and turned an otherwise 'dead' time of day into ESPN's biggest Cash Cow -- and why they (and every other network) has basically made EVERY show into a spin off of that.
Hard to fathom, but that's reality.
Yeah giving a "courage" award to Caitlyn Jenner over a college basketball player who made national headlines and raised a ton of money while dying of a really bad form of cancer was a bad look.
Going to be at a draft party with a Browns fan so looking forward to in person redassed if this happens.
1. They buy a ton of expensive **** with your credit card.
2. You'll see it and be like "Good Lord that's a ton of expensive **** that you bought with my credit card."
3. They say "relax, I'm gonna take almost all of it back."
4. They take none of it back.
5. Repeat.
Ok guys, I guess I'll play.
