Solution for #tanking in the #NBA: Get rid of the draft. Let rookies be free agents and allow teams to sign whoever they can recruit. You know, like every other workplace.
It seems easy. Every team plays in a conference. Conference champs go to a playoff. Winner of the playoff is the national champ. No committees or subjective rankings... just win or go home. π

@ianmSC It seems easy: conference champs go to a playoff, everyone else stays home. No committees, no positioning Alabama at the end of the season, no subjective rankings-- just win or go home.
@DanielEvensen84@gregwrubell I don't know that it is fundamentally unfair. I think it is unfair because the SEC and Big10 want it that way and will do anything to preserve the systemic slant in their favor. It's all about money-- if it was really about football, they'd stop moving the goalposts.
@DanielEvensen84@gregwrubell So why even have strength of schedule or strength of record metrics if we only listen to them when they argue for the SEC? Now we're going on "strength of reputation"? Sounds like we want political solutions instead of rewarding merit.
@busy_bee_me π Activities are part of the Church because they can build unity, faith, and strength for our lives. Sometimes we're givers in that and sometimes we're takers-- we all have different gifts to bless and edify each other. To me that also means we don't all have to do everything.
Scottsdale is hotter than Hades. There hasn't been much rain this summer and I haven't ever seen sprinklers going even in the early morning. Yet the #parks pros @scottsdaleazgov have kept this soccer complex green. That's the value of expertise. So impressed! π #localgov
@AzCities A big "thank you" to all of the cities and towns who supported Prescott's proposals for a mid-year budget adjustment and tax increment financing! These are critical tools to remove budget fluff, increase transparency, and create opportunities for the people we serve.
8-year-old: I want to go to the BYU-Utah game, but I don't want to hurt my eyes.
Me: How would you hurt your eyes?
8yo: Utah's uniforms. They're gross!

Great #BYUFootball game tonight. I get the frustration from the Utah fans-- I think it came out about even in the end, but it felt like we were getting homered pretty bad there for a while. Penalty stats look more even. Hope Utah wins out and gets a great bowl game. #GoCougs
Itβs time the media and the public put some Respect on BYUβs Name. This team is LEGIT. All that talk that AROD canβt coach well he has taken a no name QB and made him a candidate for BIG 12 player of the year. Itβs Time! REAL RECOGNIZE REAL
One of my favorite moments of realization. No matter how important we think we are, itβs critical to stay humble.
Thanks Stan Christensen for having me!
A couple of interesting slides from our economic update this morning at the #ACMA summer conference. Prescott has focused on attracting retirees for a long time, which has brought a lot of people with assets. More work to do on attracting jobs and wages for workers and families.
Pretty excited about the new #BeanPeaks trails in #PrescottAZ. It's a great example of how we all get more when we partner with our community and across all levels of government.
