On the plus side, someone called about a job (and a good one too)!

I assume by good job you mean a job that require you to hire me as outside counsel? Preferably with some work that I can delegate to Chinaski, so I'll get a cut without doing anything.

Any other job would be below you.

Does this mean we can dispense with the chin-stroking meditations on the myriad failings of Association Football by people who watch the professional game once every four years or so, clearly dislike it, and have no idea that the topics they're flogging have been debated to death for about the last 20 years, if not 100?

You're saying it will be more interesting if we keep debating these stupid issues for another 20, if not 100, years, even though we're bored silly after 2 weeks?

Damn, these Europeans really are dimwitted.

Thanks for the shout-out. I was miffed when you ignored my suggestion to change the rules of basketball, but I now understand that it wasn't acceptable because it implied the game isn't already perfect.

No. I'm saying the "I guess soccer would be ok if they changed X" discussion as conducted by people who readily admit they see nothing in the game in the first place is about as entertaining and pointful* as a "baseball is boring" discussion carried on exclusively among Scottish people.

*yes it is a word, because I said so.

In every conversation on every topic, I find that people are boring in inverse relationship to their education on the subject. There are books. I'm just saying.

So, what you've been doing is *not* participating in the discussion? I don't know if the board'd handle it if you decide to engage.

Shit man. Isn't the proper education to be obtained in a pub?

I don't want to take on a sport where the first thing you do is assign some reading.

There's is nothing better than representing a company with a sworn enemy.

On other subjects, I got a deal today that I am more than 90% certain will end with my client discovering that the other side is a bunch of crooks and that they are looking for an investment for a lot of very dirty offshore money. We'll walk away, having wasted months and much money. Why do clients only listen after the money and time are wasted?

Steinbrenner has good business timing even in death
 
Since we all have to go sometime, Steinbrenner "timed" his death perfectly to save his heirs a boatload of estate taxes.

Red Sox fans can gnash their teeth at all the extra cash the Yankees will have to buy more championships.

So, Steinbrenner did so little estate planning that all $1.1b of his assets would be subject to estate tax? Is that even remotely plausible?

Perhaps his estate lawyers figured that they couldn't be fired once he figured that out, so no worries.

This guy? wtf is "full sail university"

J. D. Harmeyer
Jamie "J. D." Harmeyer was a former intern in 2003, and is now the show's Media Producer. His main duty is to pull audio and video clips from television shows and the Internet for Stern to use on the show. Harmeyer has four TiVo recording systems installed in his office. He often arrives much earlier than other show staff to record, even coming in the evening before the 6:00 am radio show. Harmeyer's "nerdy" personality, awkward speech (frequently compared to Napoleon Dynamite), awful taste in movies (he famously gave Look Who's Talking and Look Who's Talking Too four stars out of four) and amusing personal life are common points of discussion when he is on the air. He is known to enjoy techno and drum and bass music.

His "themes" include "Battle Royale" by Does It Offend You, Yeah? and "Everytime You Leave" (Age Pee Short Mix) by Karma.

He attended Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida, where he earned an associate's degree in television and film production.

Maybe his estate plan was to get his little lackeys in DC to creat a one year exemption in the estate tax almost a decade in the future, then clog up the agenda in DC with health care and financial reform and a couple wars so no one paid attention to the exemption for that one year, and then die during that year?

You think too small when it comes to estate planning. Think outside the box!

I'd like to see a game played at the pro level without offsides on a full pitch. Just to see what would happen.

That happened in the World Cup. As I recall, Germany scored.

The rest of you can carry on pissing on each other at whatever it is they're calling Giants Stadium now. Don't bother with soccer -- too much diving (right!), the refs suck (too true!), there's not enough scoring (fuckin A!), what the hell is that guy with the long hair doing running around like a big gaylord (I know, totally!), etc., etc.
