How Dave Gettlemen helped me master Valentine's Day

(I am risking abuse here, but I thought you all might enjoy this during the offseason.  Besides, it is as good as most of the other threads)

 

Valanetine's day, Anniversaries, Birthdays--what do they all have in common?  Opportunities for me to screw up.  For me, One is in February, the next is in April, and another in August.  So I spend most of the warm-weather months in the doghouse or on the couch. Not any more, thanks to Dave Gettlemen!

1. Valentine's Day is a lot like the draft:  Don't think of 2015, think of 2016.  By planning a year in advance, it helps me to realize that spending too much in 2015 only makes 2016 more challenging.  By keeping the gesture of love modest and simplistic (translation: inexpensive), you never have to worry about disappointing the following year, assuming of course, there is one.  Still, you have to take that chance.  There is nothing worse than having a woman love you for your materialism on the outside when you are hating your last-year self on the inside.  Do not work against your future self-keep the bar low.  

2. Respect the cap.  Sure, it is great to fall in love and spend big bucks on people you love, but remember that Valentine contracts are back loaded.  You are always happy in the beginning, but when the tread wears off the tires and the person you love starts showing signs of aging, paying more than before is going to be a hard pill to swallow.  A simple rule here: You are paying for future production and not past performance.  

3. Shop at the Dollar Store and Tah-get:  Again, why shop at the high dollar stores when you can get production at a huge discount?  I guarantee those cocoa trees and silk worms did not know or care what store they were producing chocolate or panties for--neither should you.  In fact, you might luck out and find a box of chocolates wrapped in some exotic underwear for $9.99 at Staples or something.  Of course, you get the small box, and if she asks why, you tell her "So the underwear will fit when you are done."  Thanks Dave!

4. Remember, "offense scores points, defense wins championships."  We are trying to score points and disregard championships.  Rings in this arena are usually a sign of decreased playing time and, in some cases, defeat.  Scoring is all that matters, so be offensive.  I plan on it. 

I thought I would share my newly-found wisdom with you guys so you can tweak your strategy this year.  Forget the Marty Hurney approach--emptying the bank account for what you already have, or trading what you have for lesser talent.  Go Gettlemen, and follow his advice and you can't go wrong.

I Remember one wall street analyst saying - ahem * athletes are a depreciating asset : you can only take too many hits to your body.

I'll say this though : Hahahahahhaha

Gettlemagic reminded us one important thing with Kony - that anyone is replaceable.

At some point Hardy , Charles Johnson were bench warmers.

Just don't neglect that position

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
