This. His success has come as a result of having the most talent without a salary cap, which won't be the case in NY.

Whoever plays Portland out of LA/Dallas is going to be in a dogfight the whole way with them. Definitely a potential upset in the first round.

BTW, crisis averted as they reached an agreement for the rest of the fiscal year. The real fight over this is yet to come though.

I agree with the point that teacher's don't just work 5 days and then go home and eat shit. However, lets not exaggerate either. I believe you need to have performance incentives not only to make the profession more appealing, but to improve the quality of education your kids are getting. I agree wholeheartedly with Christie on tenure. No matter how long you've been at a job, if you aren't doing your job the way someone else could be, you need to go. Its basically people paying someone's salary who isn't doing their job to the best of their ability.

Chris Broussard really explains everything perfectly here. I really couldn't have said it better myself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbdAXoopR9Q

Stupid considering he's a friend of Coach Calipari.

Lol, all about the celebrity factor. Cal is a horrific x's and o's guy.

This. But just about everything else on her is pretty quality.

If you aren't producing results as a teacher, then you deserve to have your position questioned, no matter how long you've been at a school.

This is a touchy subject, so I'm going to try and be as politically correct as possible here. IMO, the only thing holding down blacks is black culture. It has become socially acceptable in the black community to speak poor english, dress like you're in the hood, disregard the importance of responsibility and education and plenty of other things that people associate with black culture today. The problem also doesn't only happen in the inner city either. A lot of middle class black families are also allowing their kids to act this way as well and its dragging down the black culture. IMO that is what causes the current stigma that people have towards blacks. The point is, is that there are a lot of negatives being allowed to be socially accepted in the black culture and that's why people have the views like they do. That's just my 2 cents on the matter.

Christie talked to Diane Sawyer the other day on ABC news and his view on tenure is absolutely on point. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDsbKQrmY_g Really, really like this guy.

Just saw that coach Lavin has prostate cancer. Good luck to him and hopefully he gets through this quickly.

Sorry, I'm not one of those blame America for everything wrong in the world types. That stuff really doesn't have anything to do with why they hate us. Islamic radicals hate us because they think western culture is basically everything wrong with the world.

Lol, do you not understand that making peace with them doesn't work. They HATE us and western culture entirely. While I agree with your point of not getting involved in things that don't concern us, making peace with radical Islam in the middle east will never, ever work.

Would you rather us not spend on National Defense? I'd say that's pretty important over other failed departments and programs that cost us more and more money every day. As for Chris Christie. He's a beast. The people of NJ are lucky to have someone willing to take on absurd public employee unions like he does. His fight against the teacher's union in NJ is amazing stuff. Dude doesn't play around.

This.

Uh,yeah...a quite successful one lol

You should've just stopped talking to her. Its not meant to be, at least for right now so just cut off communication with her. I've had that problem more than a couple times and it sucks but I've learned that once you hit the friend zone and if you have real feelings for the girl..its better to just stop talking to them and move on. You'll be fine though, there's plenty of other girls out there and you've got plenty of time.

I go on Worldstar all the time because some of the shit on there is [expletive]ing hilarious. However, I do see what you're saying about it promoting a certain image about Blacks. IMO, it only makes things worse in terms of race relations for most people. I couldn't care less though.

WOAT comparison in the history of comparison's aside from anyone being compared to Mike.

Kansas is gonna suck next year.

True, he is flying under the radar this year, but I think that puts less pressure on him and the Thunder which may be a good thing in the end.
