This is my first post in Money Talk. Didn't know a calm board existed on TD. :coo:

Like everyone is saying, $600 is beans. It is an employer's market out there so the leverage is not in your favor. You said it earlier, but it hits home real hard when you hear it... as of 2012 (Obama is trying to change it), medical insurance is a benefit, not a right. Furthermore, employers have complete option as to the amount (%) that they contribute. The trend for the last 5 years has actually been to completely exclude spouses if they had availability of insurance!

My father in law (a medium sized business owner) recently had a a discussion with me that when the 2013 healthcare items go into effect, it would actually be cheaper on the employer to take the penalty than pay any share of healthcare coverage. But since their company is very successful right now, they want to take that burden off the employees.

It is a very profound time in our country's view on healthcare. There are pro's and con's to either side.

Tiger Stadium emptying early? Nothing on Yankee Stadium. :lol:

Get out of here with your weak arse low man on the attendance totem poll thread.

I'm usually wearing Crimson on game days, so I normally hate going out to a bar or large gathering unless I can be surrounded by my LSU friends. If not, it becomes a day of 1000 questions from drunk arse LSU fans. I want to be a sports fan on Saturdays, not everyone's Alabama statistician.

You are the bizzaro krautfed, and I am the vice versa. We should hang out when either one of us heads back home.

PS - is that Cajun grocer place still open in Hoover?

Since moving here, I find that a lot of LSU fans misunderstand Finebaum. He's the TruTV of radio. A lot of Louisianians don't "get it", and take the bait. Finebaum should have never been aired outside of the state. Money ruins everything.

I find Mascona to be a wanna be Scarbinsky from back home. Scarb is a puppet master, one of the best, at ruffling feathers. Finebaum is the definition of a Sports Shock Jock and Scarb is the newspaper writer equivalent. Scone is TRYING to be that.

Also, just to go back to the original article/issue at hand... do you think that Bama's locker room is hugs and Eskimo kisses? You can not put that many young men together and there not be Type A, ego, premidona issues. There is a reason that Saban is strict on media policy. He has the loose ship = loose lips mentality. Most of the LSU fans I talk with that are long in the tooth use this as the #1 difference between Les and Saban. They miss Saban's off the field control of the team.

Am I the only that watched Gary/Verne during the Tebow era?

They tied it up. :cool: Gotta keep the pedal down now.

That was the issue. Mett got killed because the RB/FBs didn't pick up the blitz.

How was he in the scramble when he could? Good decisions (i.e. slide when he had no chance vs trying to be hero)?
