Aging Rec League “Athlete”

Data & Analytics Professional. The NHL, PGA Tour and the NFL fuel my passion of being incredibly mediocre at rec league sports.

@mattblively Basketball is played above the rim. Hockey is played between your feet. I don’t see him making it unless he is unbelievable positionally

I’ve finally reached the age where my patience for "zero-consequence" parenting has officially hit a wall. My brother in-law has two teenage sons, 14 and 15, who have been raised to treat the world like their personal playground.

Last weekend, we had them over for a BBQ. These kids were messing around with a heavy medicine ball near my outdoor kitchen, something I’ve told them a dozen times not to do. Sure enough, one of them loses his grip and sends it straight into the custom stone countertop of my built in grill.

It didn't just scratch it; it cracked a massive slab of granite right down the center.

My sister in-law (their mother) comes out, sees the damage, and gives me the usual "accidents happen" shrug. She asks what the damage is going to be.

Now, I happen to have a specific umbrella policy on my homeowners' insurance that covers accidental property damage with a flat $250 deductible. But getting a stone mason out here, matching the grain, and overseing the repair is going to be a massive headache for me.

I called the original installer and got the full out of-pocket quote for a total replacement: $2,800.

I handed her the estimate. She turned white, complained about how "expensive stone is these days," but eventually wrote me a check for the full amount.

I paid my $250 deductible, got the counter replaced, and tucked the remaining $2,550 into my "Inconvenience Fund."

My wife thinks I was being "harsh" by not mentioning the insurance. I told her that if you refuse to teach your teenage sons that their actions have real-world costs, then I’m happy to provide the invoice.

If they want to raise terrors, they can pay the "Lack of Discipline" tax. Consider the extra cash my fee for the time I’ll spend managing the contractors.

My favorite line from Atomic Habits has been living in my head rent-free:

“It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”

@20WSchamp2425 @BlueJaysExpress Also, just do the celebration and get the boys fired up. So much of baseball is momentum anyway

@DarrenWHaynes I agree with the thoughts, but it’s clearly written by AI. Too bad.

@johnw_bender @MatchsticksCGY Man I understand your slant, but have you been to SK, or any of the other new stadiums? No need to apologize for a shitty game day experience.
Regarding the product - our star QB was missing 10 yrd routes throwing directly into the ground or at their feet for the first 3/4.

@Buzios16 @MatchsticksCGY Meanwhile we give billions to Ukraine without a peep from the crowd. Spend local, I’m all for it.

Most people see the result.

Very few understand the obsession it takes to get there.

[Scottie Pippen @ScottiePippen]

Nobody teaches you that discipline feels like punishment until the results start feeling like freedom

Stephen A Smith DESTROYS Lebrons GOAT Case

"He played 23 years,he still has 2 less titles than Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan played all 82 games 8 times, how many times did Lebron do it?, Michael Jordan is a 10x Scoring Champion, how many times did Lebron do it?, Michael Jordan is 9x All Nba defensive player, how many times did Lebron do it?, theres nothing to discuss. Michael Jordan averaged over 30 in the postseason 7 times, how many times did Lebron do it?, theres nothing to discuss, hes approaching year 24 and still has 2 less titles"

@CofRedCentral @AMFlames94 Yet you want to fire Zary to the sun. Shoots L yes, but probably has the same potential at this point

@TimCPeel20 @leahhextall It’s DEI but it’s also an old boys club hire… somehow it’s both and I’m mad at both sides

We will tax you so that you are financially destitute. But in our infinite generosity, we'll drop a few dollars in your bank account to help you with your groceries. The collective crimes that are being committed on Canadians by their government is astounding. Future historians will marvel at how complacent the populace was. [I also reposted this reply.]

Parents - put your phones out of sight when you’re with your kids. I really mean this. Especially at home. Treat it like a landline and “hang it up” in one place. (Wife and I have a little holder for them in the kitchen) When you need to check it, go over to where it’s placed and look at it, then walk away. Do not carry it around like a digital pacifier. Be present without it in sight. I guarantee this will make a huge impact on their childhood experience.
