Isn't there a shitload of hispanics playing that shitty sport? Annoying that he can only see black and white.

Considering how we tend to screw ourselves towards the end of the season I'm inclined to agree.

Baseball is the most multicultural sport on the planet.
Problem with baseball is that it is as much an art as it is a sport. You can take the strongest, fastest, biggest dude and put him against MLB pitching and he will be lucky to get a single hit.
And you need to go through the minors and American players regardless of race are put at a disadvantage because they have to go through the draft. The camps that they set up in the DR and eventually Cuba are going to develop young cheap talent the way
soccer teams in Europe do.
The NFL, NBA and even the NHL all have college to act as their farm league where as the college game is so different for baseball they always need to transition. There are so few players that make the jump from High School to the pros in baseball.
I don't think the decline of Black American baseball players has an easy answer to blame other than the Rise of popularity of the NFL.
I'm pretty sure that fake football is the most multicultural sport.
thank fuck you can't

Eh. Probably DC or NYC. Looking at a number of positions mostly in those cities.

It's shit on Perry Fewell day at Giants HQ.
Honestly, everything I've read about Fewell has been quite the opposite in terms of his openness with players, etc.

Come to Philly duder. It's cheaper to live in than NYC, and much more interesting than DC. Have you been to DC? Shit is boring as fuck. No nightlife to speak of. It's a ghost town after 6:00pm. When's the last time you were even here?
GM trying to protect his spot.

This comcast-time warner deal and the eagles sure have a lot in common.
I'm looking at Philly too but there aren't nearly as many jobs in my field. I'm definitely keeping an eye on it though.
I haven't been to Philly in a while. My parents live in central PA. About an hour north of Harrisburg. My dad is from Philly.

What field? Finance?
If you haven't been here in years you probably won't recognize the city at all. Shit has changed incredibly in the last 5-10 years.

Isn't Phily up there with Chicago in terms of lack of job opportunities? Zero percent job growth in an era where unemployment is falling?
Foreign and public policy.

Not really. Employment numbers aren't rising as fast as other places, but the key aspect to that is that Philadelphia didn't fall nearly as hard as other cities during the recession, so it's balanced out a bit. Unemployment is high, but not higher than pre-recession. But the big thing with those numbers is that if you don't look strictly at figures for the city limits and include the metro area it's a much different story. Lots of jobs in the ring suburbs, but not a ton in the city itself.
You looking to work at a non-profit? Government?
Yeah. Right now I'm looking mostly at positions with think tanks, lobbying firms and consulting firms.
Good. I dont mean to bring politics in here, i dont like any of the potential candidates, but if hilary wins and continues obama's idea of free internet, ill be happy for selfish reasons. I dont even own a cable subscription. My roommates and i split a 50mb down for $40/mo. Thats all we need. They cheat and use their parents cable info, but i rarely use it(just for hbogo and amc shows). I pay for sunday ticket mobile to ise through my pc via a friend with direct tv+ ota bears games + mlbtv. My buddy buys nhl gamecenter, and another buddy buys nba. We share all the info with each other besides the nfl.
Im happy "xfinity" isnt getting bigger.
E:wienke chicago and chicagoland area has job growth in certain areas. IT and finance are consistently hiring around here. Engineering is a rough spot tho

Yes, on a team that's had three GM's in 35 years. The Giants aren't the Jets bro. Even if Coughlin's regime is wiped away after this season, Jerry Reese isn't going anywhere.

That's probably the best resource for job searching in the non-profit sector in Philly. You have your Master's right? You could be a hot commodity if so.
Edit: my wife is telling me more, I'll update then.

Those are specifically Philadelphia based. You can check idealist and the Chronicles of Philanthropy for less focused stuff.
Yeah, players seemed to love Fewell. I'm still really happy with the Spags hire, his scheme matches the talents that Reese likes to draft the most.

Happy Birthday Kave. You so old.
I shared everything I know!
Perry always seemed like a player's coach, which is fine, but when the cameras were on him, you hardly saw him closely talking to players, going over plays and so on. Instead he is chest bumping and saying "Keep your head up!". Guys like Deon Grant were huge for him. Whereas for Spags, you always see him kneeling down, going over plays (both positive and negative), talking to them, etc. That's not to say the defense will be extraordinarily better, but I can't fathom how it can any worse.
