the tax example is a great one. why have someone do your taxes who does them once a year -- you -- instead of someone who does this ALL THE TIME if you can afford the latter? it's just not a smart play.
in all likelihood, the agent can get you more, minus his/her one percent, than you can get for yourself without subtracting the fee. then he could give that to the community. that's the math on it.
it's probably georgia right now. i've got lsu as a better job than texas, bama and usc, tho. bama is an awful job, despite how much a coach *can* win there.
by that metric, we'd have called miami the best job from '83-01. yet there were reasons every coach before coker left on his own, three with stacked rosters.
to me, the best jobs are the ones that give you a real chance to win championships, but also some realism about the years where you don't. and if you can do it without having to travel too much in recruiting? big win.
in other news, stop retweeting the people you hate. seriously. took me a while to learn that, but we're all better when we don't do that.
exactly. people sending things that are the opposite of why anyone follows them. not that you should serve your twitter followers, per se, but i think you get my point.
there was a time i did it because i felt people who agreed with those folks silently needed to hear the truth, and i used the dummies as a tool to do that. not much silent anything anymore. the utility of that is gone.
tillman's a great test of one's ability to view things with nuanced eyes. can one see heroism in him while opposing the war? can people support the military -- using a broad term there but you get it -- while acknowledging that military let him down in life and death?
instead, my industry uses him as a mascot for a lot of things an informed person *knows* he wasn't about, or certainly wasn't about after he'd spent some time in afghanistan.
again, how we use pat tillman is absolutely pathetic.
when the pandemic hit, obviously, our ability to book guests changed, too. so we leaned on my friends to come on. what we found was the audience for #TheRightTime would rather hear me chop it up with the homies than the famous people.
this is something i wrote about prince last year, a look at the unreal syracuse concert the estate posted on youtube. theundefeated.com/features/princ…
