Once a month for the last year or so. I have organized a gathering of former co workers for a little happy hour. I call it the G7 since there is a group of 7 or so I invite. One guy is a former mgr who has moved far up the ladder.But we like hanging with him and it's good for him to blow off steam and be real.

Tonight, out of the blue he surprises me. We are on one drink and he goes pstall, what is your IQ? 120 or 130 or so? Umm, I don't really know I say. He then goes man, you are brillant and you need to be doing something else. Uhh, yeah, I agree.

So later on he gives me a ride home and had never seen Montford Drive. He goes let me see these places. We can grab another drink. Ok cool. So while we are hanging outside he goes ok man, I want to tell you something in full confidence.

I will sponsor you, to do WHATEVER it is you want to do. I only ask one thing. Deliver.

He mentioned some guys names that I know and how he helped them land new jobs and he goes dude you are far and away more talented and ahead of them. You are just lazy. I told him I agree with the lazy part.

So now he and I are gonna hang tomo at the Wells Fargo and come Monday he said come up with some proposals or ideas and he is going to get me into a think tank for the bank.

This was so unexpected. He goes dude. The ideas you have shared or come up with and the impact is amazing. You deserve to be taken care of now.

Totally amazed. So kids. Make sure you continue networking. It will pay off one day.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
