anyone here have any idea what the fuck Lakers are thinking by signing back Goudlock?
Thats a large assumption. And one hell of a way to cherry pick which parts are and aren't related to any insurance contract.
I would think that additional insurance would be more likely for players that were on the list of banned players from the league list, than just top ups. The premium to cover top ups would hardly make it seem worthwhile.

FUCK YO TANK Dy. Charlotte Bobcats gonna get that win and like it.
Considering Knicks just waved Solomon Jones, Sheed is playing one of these last two games. Wonder who'll replace Jones.
There are some things athletes can't get OTC that we can...really weird

man, i haven't heard from 2 of my friends out in Boston. They've done the marathon before...
I don't like this feeling waiting for a response.
My friend's sister was right there at the exact spot, apparently, but left 10 mins before the explosion.

I've had it for like 3 years and have no issues
Do you want a steroid gut?

not the fat slim but the slim slim
this one
Unless there are 3 versions and the slim you showed me isn't as shiny as it looks, then yes
The network towers must be completely jammed right now. Just because you can't get a response it doesn't mean that their phone is destroyed, so keep thinking positive.
no I just want my knee to be better
maybe I'll go to germany in honor of our best-gafs fallen hero
That's not a large assumption at all. You take out insurance on million dollar contracts, it just makes business sense to do so, the same way you take out insurance on homes and cars. The premium is cheap because the league already covers $175,000/game for free.
Teams won't let players play in the Olympics unless their contracts are fully insured, so you can assume the Lakers had Kobe's contract fully insured. If USA Basketball, which doesn't have much money, could afford insurance to cover all of Kobe's $60 million remaining contract when he played for them in 2012, the Lakers could afford to insure Kobe's contract, especially since the league already covers $175k/game for free.

Bobcats will still lose. I don't know what's the point of Rasheed when we have K-Mart. He's been out for way too long, imo. He could cut him for Birdman.
Haha. Hey I don't really mean to paint all athletes with the same brush.
But accusing one athlete while wearing the jersey of another is pretty near sighted.
oh I know, I was just trying to add to your statement as well
I know who you're quoting and it's not like that person will ever try to be objective anyways

Just give Timmy DPOTY so we can wrap it up and call it a season.

Hahaha squats will still hurt.
It's a HGH gut, not steroids.
Reason being is growth hormone signals growth throughout the body and there is no way to isolate growth to certain areas. We have receptor sites for hormones throughout our bodies. Sites are in our muscles, organs, joint tissue etc.
Some users results will be excellent muscle growth while maintaining small joints and flat abdominal wall. Other users will wind up with the same muscle growth but with thicker joints and an extended abdominal.
And the gut happens when organ growth reaches an extreme. That user has certainly been seeing diminishing returns long before they realize their bellybottom is about to explode.

I finally got ahold of my friends via e-mail.
One of them had VIP tickets to the event and was gonna head down to Copely but opted to wait and go later.
Two people I knew very well were almost in the middle of it all. christ...
I saw Sanjuro post but not Tom Penny or bread. Hope everyone we know out there and their friends/family are safe.

Uhh, insurance companies aren't going out of their way to cover 60M in payments for nickels and dimes.
And it is a large assumption based on your original response that all insurance is handled by the league.
So right now, what we know, is that there's no real details of any insurance contract that the lakers have taken out on kobe, not even when it kicks in, only when the league insurance coverage kicks in.

Horrible news about the Boston stuff. Just horrible.
And I feel weird posting about something else in the same post about a bombing...But why did Paul George win MIP on ESPN when his main difference in play year over year was just taking more shots and making a lower percentage of them? Larry Sanders went from someone who was probably going to be out of the league to one of the top young big men in the league...

No he is terrible. Boston stay safe.
Nah son, its Marc Gasol's time. Timmy D didn't play enough minutes, although he beasted almost every game he played in. Timmy this season really, really shot up in my books. Haven't seen anything like what he did since Malone, and even then Timmy is better than he was then.

thats a lot of trouble just to have an empty slot. it might go to another scrub but it makes no sense to have an open roster spot

Wonder if that was his last freethrow against the Warriors.
Don't know.
I wouldn't have put him up as MIP.
Would has said Asik before George.

Woodson unwrapping the bubble wrap off Camby, Sheed will get 10-12 minutes.
Enjoy the win Dy!

It is in the CBA that the league handles the minimum insurance of $175,000 per game. Anything additional is paid by the team, or national teams that use the players in the summer.
They aren't going to cover insurance for nickels and dimes, of course, but it would be very lucrative to insure anyway, they make free money when he wasn't injured for the last 17 years, and they are only insuring the extra amount that the league doesn't cover. They've done their calculations to make it worthwhile, the same way it's worthwhile for them to provide insurance to a $30 million house. Ben Gordon's contract was quoted at costing $140k for his country to insure for his Olympics play in the summer, so it's probably several multiples of that. France needed to pay $2.9 million to cover insurance for 5 players, including Tony Parker's $50 million contract. Insurance companies usually come out on top, given the low probability of injuries. You are claiming that the only insurance the Lakers have on Kobe is the league minimum that is provided for free, when everyone would take out insurance on costly liabilities.

I'm in Boston and I'm fine if anyone was wondering.
Posted in the main thread, but my gf was at the finish line when this went down, she and her sister saw the second explosion and called me while on the run from the area. They are both fine. The bar I bounce at (about 1.5 miles from the finish line) was shut down by Boston Police around 345, they did a full sweep of every business on Beacon st. I have to go back to work at Mass General tomorrow, I don't know what to expect.

Glad that you and yours are safe.
So are you a doctor or something? If not, all these wikipedia copy and paste medical explanations of shoes, and injuries, and now HGH would be an epic troll.
And if you're a doctor or athletic trainer or something, awesome.
