Moses Moody vs James Bouknight: Better rookie year?

[pdxKingsFan]

I've donated to a charity, of my choosing, because the poll is a popularity contest. I even paid the transaction charge and 3x amount of the bet. Thought about matching PDX, but I don't want to flex as hard as him.

Call it what you will but it's the standard amount I give when I am able.

Glad you pitched in, whatever the amount.

Our usual: set up a DAF. Donate appreciated stock. You control the timing of donations plus any future appreciation, get the write off, and save on cap gains.

Well so then you can at least appreciate why I called you out.

I don’t know your reasons, but ours are completely selfish. Tax savings. Outside of charity bets, of course.

I knew you were paying this out of gains and it was essentially free money. I'm actually a little surprised you're so cavalierly admitting it now after the fact.

Your stipulation was that the charity be a 503c. Only reason for such a stipulation is the tax deduction, no?

I'm not denying what I did, but I wasn't involved in the bet either.

I mean, sure. Just a little puzzled by the I'm surprised you're admitting it comment, since you said you would only donate to a 503c, which equals tax savings. I mean, I don't see anything to be ashamed of. It's the tax system. Was designed as such to fund non-profs. Everyone wins. Sure, you may win a little more, if you donate appreciated stocks rather than cash, but the outcomes are the same--you save on taxes, the charity gets $.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

good grief. I'm not calling you out for taking a tax deduction, I was calling you out for not wanting to pay off a bet under the conditions agreed for an amount that appears to be pocket change for you.

we're done.

probably kb02 will go away in January if the team is winning and kb03 will join in February

Did you call this or did you CALL THIS.

And the answer to the debate wound up being both guys probably being busts but only one of the guys got arrested.

Moody's numbers aren't terrible but he's just not effective at all yet.

I imagine Bouk will probably be headed overseas sometime soon. He's putting up Adam Morrison type numbers.

I’ll call things like how I see them. McNair is middlng GM. Fox doesn’t play winning ball. The sooner both are gone, the better.

When you're wrong....go big I say!
