OK, the dumb ones under 40 won’t get it.

Sadly, Shyster, there are folks advocating for Mattingly to be the next Nats manager, despite him having the same amount of managerial experience as you and I do.

Ugly is definatly the word to use to describe the Phillips situation.

Jeff—I’ve been out of the office most of the day and thus haven’t seen the woman in question. Are you suggesting that Phillps talent-evaluation skills remain subpar after all of these years?

Having read the comments on the Phillips piece, thank you, The Common Man, for ending my day.

Here, let me help you with the snarkiness.

1) Phillips, on the phone to Rick Pitino: “Hey Rick, do you know a cement guy I can use?”

2) The victim’s “good” friend in the case told her to make sure she saved that dress with the stain on it.

I also noticed that there weren’t many comments on the Heyman/Rivera post.  Apparently the fanboys only troll for big headlines, mainly with small words.

I wrote this on the other thread, but since ESPN canned Harold Reynolds for much, much less, you can be sure that Phillips has broadcast his last game on the Worldwide Leader.

It’s a wee bit like saying “first” when you’re not when the first commenter is actually 13 years younger thabnn , but born in 1972 - got the joke. And I am not 40 for another three years, darn it. I’m still under 40! On the other hand, my coworker, very politically aware and all that, born in 1985 did not get it, 50 year old boss did.

Once again, you have raised my curiousity. I’m not impressed with Larry King or his fluff but I would be surprised if he pulled the number $700M out of thin air.
I read your comments regarding the Wilpons. You may be absolutely correct that the alleged losses may have been reported account balances vs. the account withdrawal, but, I’d really love to read the actual trustee filing. I was unable to read the entire WSJ article but the original filing would be much more informative. (My day job prior to retirement was director of competitive analysis of large investment and financial services companies for a well-known financial services company.)
In light of inmate Madoff’s activities, I’m curious as to when the Wilpons withdrew $571 million (given that so many suffered actual losses of original investment) and if they had personal money invested that was not part of the Mets Limited Partnership. If so, if that money was “lost” or whether it too was withdrawn. I would think that the trustee would be looking into all major withdrawals.
