Deciding When to Retire

It seems like everyone who has retired, or is looking to retire, is of the mindset, “When can I stop trading my time for money?” Based on that strict definition, I retired in my teens. :lol: I have never understood this mentality. Baffling to me. Also, invest in yourself or your own entity, not someone else or their entity. Will change your life.

So, this past weekend... Actually Sunday... I flew CLT <--> ORD to attend a memorial service for a 26 year old young man who played lacrosse on a number of teams I coached. I think I met him when he was probably 10. He was on my first team I coached.... and I had many years of spending time with him and his family. Those of you know who know me a bit know that I've had a number of kids who I had the pleasure of coaching through youth ball and through club ball while they were in HS. (note: I intentionally did not coach these kids in HS so as to get other coaching and having spent this time with these kids, I never wanted their HS coached to be second guessed. My own kid is included in this mix.)

Three of them. All kids I coached, made it through college, gainfully employed and valued members of our community and were downtown Chicago... grabbed an Uber to get them home. Drunk driver on the Eisenhower caused a three-car collision. Killed one boy, sent another to the hospital. Third walked away.

Seeing probably 50 kids at a funeral for one of their former teammates and friends makes you really question what the fuck this is all about.

Boss sent me a note this morning... for my annual stock option grant. YAY... not really. I just had to watch a fellow dad bury his (only) son and two months ago he lost his wife due to complications of West Nile (no joke... Chicago suburbs). Yay... more options. Whatevs...

When can I stop trading my time for money? That's a great way to think of it. I could have stopped a while ago, I'm sure. But, this I do know. My time, regardless of how much I'm being paid, is FAR better used to spend time with young people, making them better people and lacrosse players than it is building AI and analytic systems as a professional.

Life has thrown too many signals my way for me to justify not living for myself and _giving_ back in ways that I uniquely can.

The end of this chapter should have a G-D fast forward button.

Cleveland Cavs (2016 NBA Champions)

Harden is vastly over priced
I was immensely crushed at the failure of the bench
I do give credence that this team has only been together less than 3 months
I am displeased that neither Wade nor Merrill have more than a 6 inch vertical.. but their grit and shooting were admirable
Did I say how pissed I am at the bench?
Playing two VERY physical 7 game series hurt them.. They were gassed and NY was extremely rested
Had they pulled out game 1, who knows
I believe Donavan is injured.. lower leg
Atkinson was constipated. Best case, he deserves 50% of the blame. Not sure a coach swap moves the dial.
I have always believed "You don't need to be the better team.. You need to be the better team for a week"
I am also a believer that you go as far as your backups can take you.. in any sport, especially football and basketball

It's not an article. It's ai quoting 30 seconds of a TV personality.

It doesn't discuss the odds at all, despite being an article about statistics. It isn't hard to find, but that would involve additional ai tokens. Or asking it to mimic the article that script posted directly above it.

I'm not sure why the site is getting so much airtime here.

A week or two ago they published
- gray sleeves might be coming
- gray sleeves aren't coming and Nike ignores their fans. Tunnel vision proves this (and they used a photo of old black unis as the article photo)
- gray sleeves are coming, actually

All in the span of 2 days. And it was widely discussed by lots of people on twitter and elsewhere that more was coming (including after the black uni launch), with lots of whispers about the grey sleeves.

So if AI has already learned how to go online and just make shit up to get people talking, it has already replaced human sportswriters and politicians.

It learns how to tend bar and it's time for me to fade off to Bolivia with Mike Tyson.

More up chucking.. we have THE highest payroll of the entire NBA.. we pay $50M in fines for being this level

Greg Porter is eligible for a 4 yr deal paying $92M.. pretty sure Porter had more TOs than minutes played in the post season
In a sane world you'd offer him 4 yrs for $10M.. IF you still wanted him

Well the 92.3 The Fan people seem to think Sashi Atkinson will be fired today. I can’t say I see it, but then the easiest way for Altman to defend the Harden trade is to blame the coach, so…I can see it going either way.

They will be the joke of the league if they bring him back. The team completely shut down and quit after the game 1 meltdown, you can't have a coach who a whole team is just willing to quit on. And then factor him being a fucking idiot with the analytics comment too. You cannot bring him back. But it's Cleveland so they probably will

Actually thought it was a 'bit of class' that tOSU players didn't even make a move toward the logo. Would also bet vcash that there was a lot of angst in the Xichigan locker room figuring out how/who would go to war over said logo. And all for naught. Was very proud of the Buckeyes for that great move. I probably would have faked a run at the logo, just to see the reaction it got. But then I'm a tad childish.

Yeah - I know what you mean. But this was the best possible situation. They look like doofuses for thinking OSU wants to do something to the logo. And OSU players look like the real men, not wanting to waste time over such trivial matters. Go celebrate with your fans.
