Greatest. Lede. Ever.

It's not that he hasn't learned from it. He's deemed it worth it. The fame, acclaim and the compensation were worth it in Taylor's mind. That may not the case for every NFL retiree, but it is here. But I also think LeBatard should check back in 10 years and see if Taylor has the same mindset.

When companies are bought or split, or bought and split the new company must take into account historical financial assumptions (like pensions). I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you don't know. Usually a negotiated amount by the seller and purchaser is put into a growth escrow that assumes...

Here's the worst offender (IMHO): How come the DIA ain't anywhere near Denver? And if one flake of snow hits that interstate, you're hosed. HOSED.

That's a good one. Another? Showing the Ferris wheel at the Santa Monica Pier when opening NBA telecasts. There are days it would take you three hours to get from Santa Monica to DTLA.

I'm ashamed to say, this made me audibly laugh in the office.

Columnists are quick to point out thin skin, unless it's their own.

I agree with Mizzou ... And ... Why, if I'm in management, would I want a departed employee showing the new employee around? And if I'm the departing employee, why would I give two shirts?
