Unemployed?



I heard a few things around the same time, put them together and got me wondering.

Supposedly congress is going to vote whether to extend unemployment benefits past 99 weeks.  And I heard Jeter's grandmother was joking with him about having no job (and contract) for the first time in 15 years.

 

Do unsigned FA's get unemployment checks?  Do they have to submit a report to the unemployment office with all the teams they have been in contact with about getting work?

Then I would be 20 again. And I would be back in Arizona on the floor of my buddy's apartment.

I would be flat on my back, arms spread wide, hoping that in the morning I would remember how to spell sinsemilla.

Certainly not the best post,

But I literally laughed out loud reading the responses. Therefore, more posts like this please! I enjoy the comic relief.

Gotta agree with this 100%!

I'm unemployed now and looking forward to a future of bankruptcy and foreclosure

Lets put it this way

Jeter can file for unemployment, BUT his house would most likely be burnt down by US citizens if he did

This post got me to do a little research (although I hope I will never need this info)

The stingiest state in the Union, in terms of unemployment pay-out rates, is Mississippi, at 230.00 per week, and the most generous is Massachusetts, which pays between 628.00 to 942.00 per week. Additionally, the states with the stingiest rates compensate for the fewest weeks, while the most generous states compensate for the greater amount of weeks. California falls in the middle, basically, paying out about 450.00 per week (2009 rates).

Just more information to file away under ‘WGAF’. Unless, of course, you are unemployed.

I meant the OTHER Howard!

Why did we single out Jeter for unemployment benefits scrutiny?

He’s got a family to take care of. Just like Latrell Sprewell.

So anyway

Here’s my non-sequitur of the day, which doesn’t deserve it’s own post, so it’ll go here.

To Ken Burns:

I stuck by you through the first nine innings of Baseball because, like you, I’m totally gay for that deadball era stuff, which made up for how much you keep going down on franchises I loathe.

But I’m right now watching disc 2 of The Tenth Inning (Netflix – definitely didn’t buy), and I just saw the most baffling combination of sound and imagery I could ever conceive: sad music imposed over a montage of the best moments from Game 7, including Erstad’s catch.

You’ve finally lost me.

(I’m not throwing away my Civil War box set, but c’mon man, enough is enough.)
