The problem is that the development is a possibility not a certainty, yet he's already being paid big dollars -- he'll earn $24m next season, $26m the following season, & $28m in 2025-26, & all those dollars are guaranteed.
Man, you love going in on tleikheen. All I will say PIF is that this board is very small, and it won't get bigger. New generation has never heard of a message board. Just be nice, OK?
Look through tleikheen's posts, & you will find that it's rare for him to write anything in which he doesn't call somebody either "clueless" or... some other such dismissive insult.
In his first post responding to something I'd written, in fact, he more or less called me "a racist."
I reacted with some upset, of course, & expected that he would either apologize or... something. Nope. Nada.
It would be one thing if the guy gave any impression of actually knowing anything. But, that's not the case. Not that he's always wrong -- fire randomly, & once in a while you'll hit something.
Still, you're right that pixxing on his idiocies doesn't raise the level of discourse here, so I'll stop responding to his posts. Thanks for bringing up the problem.
