To Soren:
James 4:13-17
13 Look here, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we are going to a certain town and will stay there a year. We will do business there and make a profit.” 14 How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone. 15 What you ought to say is, “If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that.” 16 Otherwise you are boasting about your own pretentious plans, and all such boasting is evil.
17 Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.

You’ll probably think you’re some kind of martyr here, but please shut up. [Reply]

I don't follow him.
But I think it would be pretty easy to just switch and say,
Well, time will tell if KC overpaid.
If Jones also earns the full value of his contract during the long regular season, that would be great. I'm not really expecting that.
Which isn't me saying Jones isn't going to be good. But he's going to be paid a little under 2 million a game? Now obviously every player has better or worse games and not everything they do shows up in a stat sheet etc. But I will be pleasantly surprised to see ~2 M of performance game in game out...
I see it as good regular season but then as keeping him especially for the post season and maybe key moments in the regular season. And perhaps other things like leadership or whatever you want to call it.
I can see why people are excited. I hope it pays off.

Yeah, he’s going to have an aneurysm or a heart attack.
It’ll be a funny listen for sure.
He’s been pretty negative about a lot of Chiefs moves, except the Hill trade. Which is funny, because the results have been uhhh ya know 3 Lombardis. [Reply]
