OT: Tyreek Hill to Miami

Not going to get into the politics beyond noting that what he wrote is not likely to occur.
Either way, they will always push the line of how much money they can steal from people
 
And all were easily replaced (just go look at Culver City, with Yahoo, Google, Sony, as an example - or the Riot compound in South LA). Good for you with your choices. I have no problem paying my share. At some point, it's just all-but-meaningless numbers in a bank. For athletes at the top, it's just about ego.

If you make 8 figures a year, you can get pretty anything you want any time you want - heck, if you make 7-figures a year and complain, that's pretty pathetic, from where I'm sitting.

I'm surrounded by very wealthy people out here in SoCal. If a few % of taxes is the cost, I'll take South Bay over anything FL can offer any day of any week. As will lots of other people, clearly.

There's nothing "dying" about CA, except for the drought.
I'm glad you think 13% is a fair share. Sony isn't headquartered in CA, it's in NYC. It's also in many other states, that doesn't make CA special. CA isn't spinning off companies like it was. People are starting them in more tax friendly states like Texas.

Plus it's losing people every year. I lived in and around LA for 8 years. It's a bunch of people that are pretending to be more than they are
 
Just correcting misinformation. Doesn’t indicate interest in a philosophical discussion about state taxes.
Nothing I said was misinformation, CA is in fact trying to pass that legislation
 
And our property taxes are grandfathered in..... I pay about 5K in property taxes a year on a house currently valued at 1M+...and always will for as long as I live in this house.
They better be at 7.5% state tax and 13% income tax, plus all the other fees they charge.

Yeah, we pay for a lot of BS…but it’s worth this:

There are hot girls all over the country. Go to Arizona, Las Vegas, or Miami, NYC.

Seriously what an amazing shot and with the flag waving in the background.

Those who do not feel very patriotic should gander at this incredible display of…patriotism.
 
Ive been saying since last year:

The WR market was something to watch. It hapened like i predicted: the most overpaid position keeps its place as the most overpayed. 30M on the position is bananas... catches and and receiving yards are NOT that hard to distribute with good depth and other positions (te and rb)

I will say this though... on this super offensive nfl era, maybe a blue chip WR is something more necessary than ever, but the Rams were the only team without a superstar WR of the 4 conf. Finalists and they won it all... they had a good to great unit and that matters the most

more than hill its miami's offensive scheme which could give us big problems. its shanahan style 49er offense with a lot of running which usually have trouble with.
 
Want to really twist your brain up in knots...Miami now works a trade for...Tom F'n Brady...(who's career record in Miami for some inexplicable reason is only 8-10), but dont think they're not thinking about it.
I was actually thinking the same thing. Imagine they actually had a legit QB? They'd be looking good aside from their pathetic ground game.
 
I agree. I live in SoCal and aside from businesses being affected and people moving to out of state, it seems exaggerated that it's "dying" or a terrible place to live.

Do you live in SoCal or NoCal? SoCal is fine if you are along the coast, slightly inland or you're in the rich LA areas.
I live in the Central Valley bout 90 mins south of Sacramento, it’s a nice area. Calis major cities such as SF, LA have gone down the toilet, literally.

I guess that’s the beauty of having such a diverse country. To each his own.

Doesn’t change my mind that people making 10-figures worrying about taxes are doing life wrong.

And wow, why would Bobby Wagner want to come here? Why LeBron? Curry? Anthony Davis? Mookie? Aaron Donald?
Don’t they know?

7 figures or 10 figures... whatever... if you are actually paying that much in taxes, then you need to spend some of that 7 or 10 figure income on a better accountant cuz they be bending you over and putting things where things dont belong

His original commitment to Tampa was 2 years so it would've been interesting if Tampa budged on releasing him upon request, since he only had those extra years tacked on to help the team for cap purposes. Hypothetically, they should respect a request to be released, especially given the SuperBowl he brought them. That ship has sailed though. He's playing for Tampa this year. I wonder if he asked in February, but probably not, since it definitely would have been leaked. With that being said, who knows if Miami still would have traded & paid for Hill if Brady signed there.
