NFT: Moderators: The BBI Free Agency Scorecard Page

Milton : 4/21/2018 10:43 am
It's kind of misleading to list Latimer as signing for one-year with a $975K salary. He received a $1.5M bonus and his salary is guaranteed, so it's really a one-year $2.5M deal (including the $25K workout bonus). When comparing the pluses and minuses of free agency for purposes of the compensation formula, Latimer will count as receiving $2.5M, ergo that's how it should be listed on the "scorecard"...

It's not "misleading" when I clearly label the $ value as salary. When I don't know the details of the contract, I clearly state salary. Those salary figures a matter of record on the NFL Players website. If I see the total contract on twitter or in an article, I provide it.

The total contract is $2.5M, I provided a link for you in the OP.
And it is misleading...

Because it's natural to assume that the $975K salary represents the total value of the deal. Every other contract in that section gives the total value.

Are you dense or something? I told you when I have the information, I provide it. I get the information from news articles or tweets. I haven't seen any info on his contract yet.

So you think I am deliberately misleading people regarding his contract. Why would I do that?

Moron.
Well, this got awkward fast.

there are bunch of players listed in that section with just the salary listed. Again, clearly labeled.
And you’re not allowed..

First of all, Eric, you're acting like a child  
Milton : 4/22/2018 11:14 am : link
And I didn't think you were being purposely misleading, it was simply the result of giving only the salary and not the total value of the deal (for which I provided a link to spotrac in the OP and here's another link to OTC. By the way, it's $2.5M, of which $2.475M is guaranteed.

And the section I was talking about was the one labeled "Free Agents Signed From Other Teams" of which only for Latimer is the total value of the deal not given. Riley's is also given only as a salary, but his salary also represents the total value of the deal. So if someone is only looking at that section and the section on free agents the Giants lost, they could mistakenly assume that Latimer's compensation is only $975K.

I don't understand why it's such a big deal. A mature person in your position would've just said, "Thanks for the heads up, sorry for the confusion" and then gone ahead and made the change to Latimer's compensation.

p.s.--It's pretty sad that you take advantage of your status as owner of the site to call me a moron, but if any of us were to return the favor we would be banned.

Bullshit.

You posted twice I was MISLEADING people. WTF? Do you know what the word misleading means?

I update that section when I see the contract details in articles or on twitter. I do not use OTC or Spotrac to later update that information. I suppose I could. But instead of you saying, "Hey Eric, friendly suggestion but I recommend that you use OTC or Spotrac to update those figures" you say, Eric is "misleading" people.

BTW, in case you haven't noticed, people call people names here all the time. You just basically called me a liar.

"mature" Eric informed you the first time where I got the figures from. You persisted in saying I was misleading people. So "mature" Eric now says fuck off.

The information was misleading, it doesn't mean it was done intentionally (and I certainly wasn't accusing you of that, as any objective observer would agree). And the second time I posted it was simply to defend my use of the word in the first place after you overreacted.
Fake news!

Daddy just got a little angry" (Child voice):'I don't wanta eat.' 'Mommy's fine, Daddy just got a little crazy and Mommy's fine.' (Child Voice):'Do I have to eat?' 'Yes you have to eat.'"

Welcome to The Corner Forum of BigBlueInteractive.com! Before you begin posting on this website, there are a few basic things that you should know...


...Most importantly, don't make things personal. If someone disagrees with you, be the bigger person. Don't launch into personal attacks and don't respond to personal attacks. This is one of the easiest ways to get into trouble around here.
Eric, wtf is wrong with you
