Wroten was a bargain at that price. I'm still pissed we didn't draft him last year.

I was very impressed with Battie's on screen precense and ability to break the game down. He puts Nick to shame lol. Brian Hill really? Lol completely forgot about his numerous broken clipboards lol.

Brian Hill is a strange choice. I mean... we fired the guy twice!

So we're tanking with our analysts, too...

^Nice.

I think Brian Hill will be ok.

I hope they don't have Vic. do the anthem, I worry about that. Vic, dude, just know the words, that's it.

Holding on to Turk is an interesting little gamble and would be fun to watch. If anyone needed an expiring or even a tall guy who can shoot for the playoffs it could work great for us. The worst case is you owe him the other 6 million this year. Not a big deal either way probably, it wont hurt any cap we covet. I wonder if he has any value to other teams?

I read about this the other day. People seem to think that if you have money, just throwing it into investments equals making money off returns.

Nobody realizes that you have to do research and do much of the leg work yourself with wise investments. I don't understand why any of these guys ever even consulted with a lawyer or investigator before ever considering doing business with anyone. I mean, spending $10k plus for lawyer/Investigator is worth it when considering any multi-million dollar investment. Just common sense.

There are so many scammers out there I have found many trying to do the same with our company. I will figure out their scam and throw it right back at them just for fun.

update on ryno's gf's suicide...

@ryananderson33
Every second of everyday, I miss you Petrie. I feel lost without you but find strength knowing that you are in Heaven. Rest in peace my love

According to the New Orleans police report, Allemand and her boyfriend, Ryan Anderson, a power forward for the New Orleans Pelicans, had been arguing on Aug. 12 because she suspected he was cheating on her. Anderson, 25, told police he took Allemand to a Walgreens drugstore to purchase a few items, including Nyquil cough syrup, then drove her home around 6 p.m.

“Anderson stated before Ms. Allemand got out of his vehicle, she stated she loved him,” the report says. “I don’t love you anymore,” he replied.

Less than two hours after Gia Allemand’s NBA boyfriend told her he didn’t love her anymore, “The Bachelor” contestant scrawled a suicide note on her dining room table.

Gia used a vacuum cleaner cord to end her life. It was tied to the center section of her spiral staircase and tied to the handrail on the second floor.

It appears Gia was on the phone with her mom when she hanged herself. Her mom told cops during the call the phone "had gone silent" and the mother tried in vain to communicate with her for 10 minutes.

The tragedy was discovered after Micheletti, in New York, sent Anderson a frantic text around 7:28 p.m. asking him to check on her daughter. Anderson arrived at Allemand’s apartment 20 minutes later, used his own key to enter and found her “sitting” on the second step of the staircase, according to police.

Oh my freaking god that is so traumatic to read about. I can't imagine what is going on in Ryan's mind through all this. Fortunately, he is a man of faith, but dayum!!!
