In all fairness, it took Lazar just as long to develop into that role. He just did it with three different teams.

Yes, he's no spring chicken. My point is that players can and do develop into different roles.
Lazar may not be as proficient in the role to start, but he has a number of attributes that point favorably to his success there...
-fast, can keep up with high-end speedsters
-tenacious, like Larsson
-better on the dot, can win additional FO's to aid in flipping the ice
-bit of an edge, likes to agitate get under one's skin
-physical, can and does win board battles necessary for cycling down low
-seemingly good attitude, helps embrace the change

Good post ion, be fun to see Larsson and Lazar getting under players skins. Do you think if they decide to add 1 or 2 compliance buyouts that Okposo should be number 1 of that list.

Working from home.
Nashville (Davidson County) is shut down for 14 days.
Our company is "essential" but I can work from home through VDI.
Except that I'm not completely set up yet, just waiting on IT to call.

anyone that wants to look at what is wrong with our country, look at our elected officials


more worried about getting their own agenda in a bill, they can't even come together to get a stimulus package to help salvage our people out of work, business and our retirements in the stock market


everyone of them is a f@cking a$$hole


every god damn one of them

It is ridiculous Homie, I was at Tops this morning and this young lady with a little girl probably 1 or 2 was all frantic cause she couldn't get everything she needed for her kids, been laid off for a week or so and hadn't gotten a her last check from Pegasus yet. I ended up giving her 80 dollars to help her, but what is she gonna do in a week or 2. There's people out there living week to week, this could crush them. GOV. needs to stop with the bullpoop and help.

its just so bizarre that unemployment has instantly skyrocketed and the government's first priority is to set up money to bail out giant corporations

Very generous 36.

If more were like you - or start acting like you - we’ll get thru this OK.

small business and the average employee is coached from high school on to establish emergency funds to be able to survive for a couple months

big business is given free reign to play as risky as possible, using profits to buy back stock instead of having cash on hand, because the MOMENT they start to struggle, the government puts on their nike's and sprints to their feet with bailout money

wild stuff

They’re public servants who serve their own self interests before the American people’s.

They shouldn’t have the jobs they have

If the insider trading crap isn't bad enough, to then sit there and write articles about how everything is so rosy, while telling your big money donors to prepare for the worst. This is reprehensible.

lawmakers should not have personal stake in public companies

Man if only there was an elected official who doesn't take a salary but instead donates it, relinquishes control in his businesses, and most likely will never regain the brand recognition he had before he took office..........

This would be impossible to mandate.

Every American should be allowed to invest for retirement, whether in public office or not. Like it or not, stocks are simply a popular investment. And most politicians most likely owned the stock before they were in office. The only way to this is to pull this off is either to make them sell of their stocks and sit on cash, which is rarely anything close to a good idea, or freeze their assets, which is what we do to criminals (insert joke that all politicians are crooks here).


The 2nd thing is that anybody could have sold just about any decently performing stock in February and done really, really well. The market was simply that high, and even if the Coronavirus didn't turn everything to poop, it wasn't going to be able to sustain that kind of rapid growth. Take Tesla, for example, which was grossly overvalued. There was a lot of independent financial literature out there suggesting people should sell last month, even before the Coronavirus became mainstream.

All that being said, it's still a very bad look.
