@ESPNNFL @SportsCenter I have no dog in the fight. There is no way this was an interception. The bills player had possession of the ball and hit the ground and was down. The Denver player didn’t get it until they rolled over and took it away from him.

@MalikZaire8 More like Ohio State wide receivers saw who was still in front of them and decided to bail

@buckeyefbnation Having the best player in college football in your wide receiver room makes your room average.

WR room went from best in the nation to middle of the pack in Big 10 #cortezeffect

@soigomaa By that logic, why don’t men simply leave women that don’t financially add to the household
English

I'm going to piss some men off with this, but the reason a lot of your parents and grandparents stayed married so long is because the women in those generations were financially trapped. When a woman makes her own money, the only thing a man can truly offer her is how he treats her.
That's why there's a male loneliness epidemic.

@Simon_Ingari What this doesn’t tell is the internal equity issues that HR created by having the hiring manager pay $40,000 over the budget.

The Salary Negotiation That Taught Me Everything In 2025
Candidate: "I need 100,000 per month."
HR : Our budget is 60,000 per month.
Boss: "Pass. Too expensive."
HR almost moved on. Almost.
But HR asked one question: "What would make 60,000 not work for you?"
Candidate : "Honestly? Nothing. I have loans, rent just went up, and I'm tired of being underpaid because I'm 'still learning.' I know my worth now."
HR went back to his boss.
Showed them the cost of leaving the role open another 3 months. The lost productivity. The team burnout. The recruiter fees if we went external.
It was over 50,000.
The boss accepted.
Here's the part that still gives the HR chills: Six months later, she told HR she had another offer for 130,000 per month but turned it down because they were the only company that fought FOR her, not AGAINST her.
Candidates remember who believed in them. They remember who negotiated IN GOOD FAITH versus who played games.
Stop treating salary negotiations like a battle to win. Start treating them like the first test of your company culture.
Because if you can't advocate for someone BEFORE they join, why would they believe you'll advocate for them AFTER?

@joelklatt Could never do it without the portal and NIL. However, that’s the world we live in now.

@CFBTalkDaily His impact is being a exceptional talent evaluator, and figuring out how to use the transfer portal to its maximum potential
