Brad the broker

I love this story. My last job I had to deal with ultra arrogant douchbag brokers that would routinely answers questions with 'well that's over your pay grade' and come up with lovely solutions such as 'can't we just test the software in production?'

Brad, the senior trader and the person nobody questions wanted to trade some coal futures. The programmers made a mistake and made a 'PhysicallyDeliver' field 'false' instead of '0'(which almost all code determines anything non-zero to be a 'true' or '1' value). Of course there's people on both sides of the trade that can double check things like this but since “not even His Holiness, the Pope” can question Brad.

So what did Brad see out the door of his port-front office one day?

28,000 tons of coal worth 1.5 million.

When looking back at the transaction the last recorded message from Brad was “what part of ‘execute my f*ing trade’ don’t you understand!?”.

:lol: I love it.

    • As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
