Gundy takes a $1,000,000 pay cut. All for wearing a t-shirt on a fishing trip. Lol.

I’m not feeling sorry for the guy, don’t get me wrong he’s still making plenty of money and college coaches are way overpaid anyway in my book. But that’s neither here nor there. The world we are living in right now is truly insane.
Treat folks bad, sometimes if comes home to roost.

(I'd also bet this has 85 percent to do with that athletic department trying to make budget and like 3 percent with the shirt)

For those of you who need a laugh, especially at the expense of our elections and politicians I recommend the movie irresistible with Steve Carell. I just watched it and it was very well done I laughed most of the way through it.

Does Facebook bring out the "bad" in people or just reveal them?

Yeah, I find it "interesting".  I see stuff posted by people I don't know or barely know, it's a partial insight into "what people are thinking", I think.  The "thoughts" in general run to two extremes, not much "in the middle" because folks in the middle just post photos of whatever.

And I'm fairly sure the folks in the middle actually are much more numerous, just quieter, kind of a silentish majority or something.

I guess bring out the bad and revealing them is almost the same thing.

I used to see some pretty vitriolic arguments that resulted in defriending, perhaps in real life.  Those folks probably would have remained general friends in real life otherwise.

One of my Marine friends is anti-Trump fairly liberal and most of the rest are pro-Trump pretty hard right, it's interesting to see them tangle at times.  They don't defriend each other, they go have a beer.  I sense they are used to giving and taking S all the time.

One of them has a full grown pet turkey named Major Tom who is epic, truly epic.  This sucker is huge.

This is mostly what I see, the virtue signaling by folks who in real life do nothing to advance their "Cause" beyond "not using plastic to the extent possible" or joining an occasional march for something.  A couple friends did the "March for Science" thing a few years back.  I thought the concept was extremely goofy.

They were very pleased with themselves, which I suppose is a plus.  

Blow off steam, signal to everyone how virtuous you are, prove you aren't a racist, and then post photos of some very fancy meal you are enjoying that cost a ton of money with that bottle of wine ....
