@d66359255@CodyCilli@Jradzz1@HonoluluBlues_ He's going to want top money. You can be delusional all you want but it doesn't change the fact that his contract will reset the market. The lions are going to be the ones paying it though. You can find a serviceable replacement for much cheaper than 20 million a year.
@JaceOSweet@TheBluLantern Laporta is gone either way. They don't value him enough to make him the number one paid TE in the league which is what Laporta is going to want. We might even trade him for a DB. It's not that hard to find a serviceable TE for way less money. See Hockenson as an example.
@Jradzz1@HonoluluBlues_ News flash, they aren't paying Laporta what Laporta thinks he deserves. We'll trade him before the deadline or let him walk. He wants highest paid TE money in the league. We'll trade him just like we did Hockenson.
@JohnStaniszews8@Lions This is the best GM and Coach that we've had in forever. The season hasn't even started. Just relax. Every single team is dealing with injuries. Chill out man.
In 1988 Dolly Parton pulled every 7th and 8th grader in Sevier County into a room and told them to pick a buddy.
She made them sign a contract.. if BOTH graduate, she hands you both $500. One fails, nobody gets paid.
The county dropout rate went from 35% to 6%.
She handed out the checks herself.
In 1989 she offered $500 to every kid in the county who wanted to go to the local college.
When Gatlinburg burned in 2016, she sent 900 families $1,000 a month for six months.
You've probably heard that part.
Here's the part you haven't:
The fund raised more than expected, so she showed up in May and handed every one of those families another $5,000 on top.
Then she quietly put $3 million into the recovery group that handles the years after the news trucks leave.
She built her county an entire hospital.
She played a benefit concert in 2007, Dollywood and the Stampede matched it, and LeConte Medical Center opened in 2010 with a birthing unit and a women's center in it.
In 2022 she started covering 100% of tuition, books, and fees for Dollywood employees.
Full-time, part-time, AND seasonal.
In 1991 she paid for a bald eagle sanctuary because the birds couldn't be released back into the wild, no press release.
And when Hurricane Helene came through here in Western North Carolina, she wrote a personal check for $1 million and her companies matched it.
She didn't owe North Carolina anything, but she helped us anyway.
She started the Imagination Library because her daddy couldn't read or write. Before he passed, he told her it was the most important thing she ever did.
Rest in Peace, Dolly 🇺🇸
@Bibbity30@LojikGamer@farman4x@WydRayaanX That's not clear from the question. If you're in a room and the total count is 340 people then the answer is 280. However if you're in a room with 340 OTHER people then the answer is 281. The question is vague enough to not know the answer 100 percent.
