The Miami Ute

that is a fun fact

Fun fact: contracts can always be renegotiated or have language added if all parties agree.

his contract states that he gets 1.0 for retiring and just under that per annum for 5 years of consulting. He doesn’t get to roll his salary over into his retirement package so the 6.5 MM per is what he would be leaving on the table for any unfulfilled years.

BUT HIS GREAT GRANDKIDS WILL NEED THE 20 MILL!

I don’t think that’s how it going to work. He’ll retire and some of the money will be rolled into a retirement package. Again, I don’t know but it all makes sense why he’d retire and still get a chunk of that money.

that’s some serious Whitt mythology you’ve got going there. He’s going to pass up 20 mil because it will be more important his grand-kids mow lawns to learn the power of hard work.

well said Jim. The future can’t start if Utah is going to be stuck in the past.

Or knowing Whitt he’ll make sure his great grandkids know the meaning of hard work and earning your own money.

for him personally, I’m sure you’re right that he has whatever he needs already. But this is generational money. An extra 20 mil can make sure that his great-grandkids are never wanting

My guess (I literally know nothing) is he gets some of that rolled into his retirement package whatever it’s called. Of course he’s a competitor but he’s also a 65 year old grandfather now with tons of money. I just don’t think that money is as big of a sticking point for him staying or going as we may think.

Even insinuating that he might not be better than ever or lead the team to an undefeated record was worthy of no less than 10 down votes.

The Legend of Drew Lisk can’t ever be understated. He and Ty Jordan were the only things worth remembering from that disaster of a season.

And I’m talking about the Covid protocols and everything else that went into that year, not anything the team did wrong.

I’m not sure you’ve come up with the slam dunk you think you have.

The speculation on Lander’s injury was Lisfranc. I don’t know if it was ever confirmed but for the sake of argument, I’ll assume that is true. Those little bones in your feet are so important to your mobility, speed and leg strength. I just don’t know how you get that back.

Maybe it’s an injury that will get better as time elapses? I guess…[Read more]

It’s not hindsight. A few of us were very clear that bringing Rising back for 2023 would cause people already in the room to transfer. Which is exactly what happened. Johnson, Barnes & Howard are now gone leaving a 6 year gap in experience between Rising and Wilson. Costelli left, Jackson was moved to running back, Rose apparently isn’t…[Read more]

By that logic Jack Nicklaus should still be playing in PGA events, Michael Jordan should still be in the NBA and someone should stick Ted Williams’s head onto a body

And NFL scouts are always watching. 5 games left to show your stuff.

Don’t overlook that Kump is the one calling the protections. If he’s not identifying the right things, it could look like a blocker went for the wrong man when he in fact followed the call on the field.

TCU also did a good job of having their stunt or blitz person wait long enough for the Utah blocker to commit elsewhere before crashing the hole.
