Thank you for being that guy. My misinformation on the subject was in great need of your help, and I sincerely thank you for the facts. No wonder I had to keep ignoring the nagging feeling that I should double-check my info about those synt

I have a hard time reconciling this statement with all the ex-NFL players I hear about starting successful businesses and broadcast careers. In fact, almost all the personalities on the FOX and CBS pre-game shows are ex-pros, and I find the

Sure it is. The most obvious metric of its "success" is the simple conditional 35% > 0%. And while I agree, the motivation behind the CEO's thinking is based on bottom-line thinking, and not do-gooder motivation, its still
