Well, the NFL certainly has new merchandise just for us. As seen on woot.com today:

I, for one, welcome our new radio overlords.

The Olympic committee HATED the overly commercialized Atlanta games. They may have made rules prohibiting it from happening again. Still, it does prove that an Olympics could be hosted without a debilitating economic impact. I think an argument could be made for a permanent "home" for the summer and winter games (making things a bit more cost-effective from that viewpoint), and then various countries could bid to be that particular year's Host Country at the venue. But that ain't going to happen any time soon.

the Atlanta Olympics didn't leave the city saddled with debt or a bunch of venues that were left to deteriorate over time. Granted, some haven't lasted (the tennis facility made a solid attempt, but ultimately was sold to a developer) - but it was still less of a negative economic impact than other cities have fared. (sure, there was an insane amount of merchandising/sponsorship/logos everywhere -- but that's the tradeoff)

After the toy car incident, didn't enjoy his sideline reporting as much. https://www.espn.com/nfl/news/story?id=2578808

I just want to win.

I prefer to buy new vs used --- but primarily because we tend to keep our vehicles as long as humanly possible. Whether you go new or used, -- while it needs to be adjusted slightly for today's world, the goal is to keep the car long enough that it averages out to have cost just $0.10/mile.

big fan of Toucher & Rich out of Boston's 98.5 Sports Hub. They talk sports, but they don't TALK sports. They've received a bunch of industry recognition, so they're legit. https://985thesportshub.com/shows/toucher-rich/

assuming "he" is Watson: thought the bulk was fully guaranteed, aside from the 2022 per-game number? Folks suggesting the Browns are going to be on the hook for $230m regardless, due to how the contract was structured.

a BIGGER panthers logo at midfield?

Technically, *every* day can be a great day to be a Panthers fan. (it's the team/coaches/owner/circumstances/decisions/specific personnel/etc that occasionally makes this difficult)

Amazon is going to open at $122 on Monday (post-split price). Guesses on whether that'll jump because it's more affordable to the average investor, or not really any impact because folks can buy partial shares nowadays anyway? On the bright side? The recent days of $100 up/down price swings are temporarily over (to be replaced with $5-$10 price swings, I'm sure)

Join the various money threads in the Lounge most people don’t have nearly enough saved for retirement. If you do, then you’re way ahead of the curve vs the average American. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/010616/whats-average-401k-balance-age.asp
