People have families, friends, and careers here


Correct. But, people have also left their hometown in search of better paying jobs and quality of life for years now. Not to mention, this is the easiest time ever to find remote work compared with years ago when it barely existed.

Friends come and go and the older you get you realize you are more content with spending time with your significant other and your children. Everyone seems more busy than ever before. Yes, it’s great to stay in touch with friends, in particular, old friends but life gets busy.

Maybe he’s following the trajectory of Tim Lincecum. A few stellar years and then pretty much average for rest of his career.

Edmonton also seems like a smaller market like Winnipeg

Austin doesn’t have the corporate support of a city like Houston. Not saying it would be a disaster for Austin but Houston is more than double the size and population. You’d think that Houston would be the more viable choice.
I lived briefly in East Cobb in 2005. It was awesome. I know that’s 21 years ago. Last time I was there was 2016. It looked pretty much the same, but that was 10 years ago. Is this still the case nowadays or is it not as nice as it once was?

Forgettable college World Series. I wonder how bad the ratings are going to be once they are released.

I thought this stock would have performed better the past 10 days or so.
Only 5.9M viewers for Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final between Carolina and Vegas.

For comparison:

Knicks vs Spurs (Game 5) 24.5M
UCONN vs Michigan (March Madness Final) 18.3M
Blue Jays vs Dodgers (World Series Game 7) 25.9M

Was hoping what the US team did this past February would drive up NHL interest but I guess I was mistaken.

He looks great. The benefits of weight loss physically are amazing but mental health benefits are also great too when you lose weight.

He has been consistent on his run since 2011 but look at ACC teams that they compete against year in and year out. It’s really nothing compared with Big Ten and SEC.
