Absolutely loved the book. Anything by Lewis is great.

Whoever watches the film i strongly suggest reading Liars Poker after.  The book came out in 90 i believe and lays the foundation for what the big short is. It by accident predicts what happened in the market specific to credit derivative swaps and the great recession.

Liars Poker is a great book....and easy read. 

I had to write a position paper on it in my MBA program.  Really entertaining, but also very informative about the underbelly of the bond trading world in the 1980's.

      REPORT: Bryce Young ankle injury is “just a one-week injury”

      By strato · Posted

      I am by nature optimistic about acquisitions and draft picks and how the players need time to develop and grow, and have patience with most things.  This Bryce thing was so egregious to me, I just couldn’t accept that they were really doing it. It was so fuging stupid that I could see it. I ain’t no scout.     I am mellowing on him a little because he has shown some growth but I still don’t believe in him. He has to put the hammer down or we are so screwed. Is what it is at this point and what I do know is I am looking forward to Sunday and hoping Andy hasn’t fallen off the cliff. If he is still able to play at the level he was a couple of years ago it will be fun.    One thing I should say for Bryce is that that Dallas game was the most fun game in years, and he didn’t fug it up. But I think that’s his ceiling. Looks really good against the worst D with a 200 yard rusher on his side. Lol peace

He knocked his hat off .... and cam smacked the fire out his ass... he'll prolly keep his job but im wondering could the mascot guy have a case out of this?

      lol I hate being negative about the team I’m always such a glass half full guy and optimistic. But Tepper has done that to me man. It’s not our first time under Tepper having a winning record around this time of year. Always turned out to be a fugazi, so I’m tempering expectations. Obviously I’m way happier being 4-3 than having our seasons over by now like the last several years. But Bryce is truly terrible and I don’t see any way around our weak QB position this year as the schedule gets much tougher. I’m becoming more and more optimistic though about the progression of the D and what Canales can do with a legit QB behind this line and this running game and progression of young WRs. But that’ll take at least next offseason so this year I’m tempering expectations significantly.
