No it isnt, such negativity

Some folks think that getting 99¢ instead of $1 is getting fleeced.

Let’s ask AI:

If I bought something for 1 dollar that is really worth 99 cents, am I getting fleeced?

It depends on a few things:

 

• What is it? If it’s something like a plastic spoon, a single sticker, or a small candy that usually costs a few cents when bought in bulk, then yeah—you might be overpaying.
• Where did you buy it? A convenience store, vending machine, or tourist spot might charge $1 for the convenience or novelty.
• Are you okay with the price? Sometimes people pay more for ease, packaging, or just not caring to hunt for a cheaper option.

 

 

So, are you getting fleeced? Maybe a little. But sometimes a dollar isn’t worth the hassle of worrying too much—unless it starts adding up.

 

What did you buy?

When the margins are already razor thin then parting with an asset for less then it's worth is the epitome of getting fleeced

Don’t add qualifiers— You said the definition so I asked lol

I hate that we are broadcasting this. This is like that snotty kid you knew in 3rd grade being like “My lunch is gross…wanna trade?” 
 

No Aiden. No one wants to trade their pizza for your nasty wheat germ and nutritional yeast flake sandwich. especially not after you told us how it gives you hives and smells like balls. 
 

we should be telling people how excited we are to have such a good pick. We are in the perfect position to pick any number of amazing players. I don’t want to hear anything from Morgan unless it is how valuable the 8th pick is.

In elementary school in the 80s  There was a kid that loved cafeteria corn  and I’d trade him my portion for his square pizza.

We may not be broadcasting this, he said sources didn't say from which team.  Most likely the Panthers are calling around and his source let him know

The issue is the person who is the one spending the assets has a history of making bad selections both as GM and an assistant GM.

Well that's makes moving down for more picks even better. More throws at the dart board

You can't put Fitterers picks on Morgan.  Morgan has 1 year of history to look at and we don't know how any of last years draft picks will pan out

[DaveThePanther2008]

I don't buy that Morgan or anyone else said we'd give a F'ING discount. That's the most absurd thing I have heard all week. No front office is going to say that. Probably more networks trying to manipulate the draft.

The moving up/down talk always goes crazy the closer it gets to the draft because it's the most interesting thing to talk about for the media heads. Once it gets to draft night none of these moves end up happening. I'd say the odds are still heavily in favour of us picking at 8.
