That is an absolutely fair critique, Jeremy, and I certainly understand it.

...I see people paying tens of millions of dollars for some "fine art" I wouldn't wipe my ass with, even if the canvas and oil were as soft as charmin.

On the third hand, I was completely underwhelmed when I visited the Tate Modern for the first time. The original Tate I try to visit every time I'm in London; the Tate Modern -- I doubt I'll ever go back unless there's some beautiful female art-lover involved.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Wife number (the Korean girl) two used to drag my ass to the National Museum of art in what seemed like every other weekend in D.C.
Drove me.
"New exhibit", yada yada yada
I would have rather watched college football, and I basically fucking hate college football.
No, never on a Sunday, that's professional football, and even she knew better than to attempt THAT, lol
That girl took to heart her William & Mary bullshit traditions. I think they were nailing her with the same pointers they used in the 17th century. (No typo- 1693, no kiddin') God's sakes, I visited her school, many of the class-rooms had high-back PEWS for the students to sit in, no lie. No wonder she was so friggin' "arty", etc.

That said, Van Gogh was always one of my favorite 'famous' artists. His style is more scale-accurate than Picasso's but the brush strokes being deliberate and flowing has always enamored me (although I could never implement that style into my own work).

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
