What is your theory on why people act like douchebags without reason in threads that have nothing to do with them?  

They're amusing themselves.    Nothing wrong with that as I often say "I'm just here to be amused."    But they shouldn't be shocked when they're referred to as douchebags, dicks, ********, etc, etc.    I'm not.

Mike, what is the average development pattern of a young payer?  I thought I knew, but players never seem to develop as I expect them to.

There isn't an average.   The development pattern, if you have full training and good coaches for the full development years, looks something like this:
Half season:   2-4
1st full:   10
2nd full:  5
3rd full:  2-3
4th full:  1-2
5th full:  0-1

Speaking of amusing themselves, what do you suggest doing during this HBD downtime?

So in another thread I announced that I had been somewhat confused when I checked the team most important to me between trainings because I had some how jumped from 101 wins to a 103 wins in one cycle. What are the chances that when they fire the engine back up that I will be back to 101 wins and instead have a 32nd loss?

Are rioting and panicking reasonable answers to this question? 

Does the 334% raise in my salary since 2010 justify the fact that I moved South Central Idaho (a place very mild winters)  to a place where the -38 with wind chill weather of today is "about average" and some days the stores have milk and some days they don't?

Do something productive.   Honestly, this downtime might kill HBD.    People, myself included, might realize how much more they can get done without HBD and give it up.

100%.   I've never won a game after a re-boot.

They are options.   I'm not so sure about reasonable.

My guess is you moved to North Dakota.   A buddy and I were talking about that last Saturday.   They always have jobs and the pay is good in NorthfuckingDakota.   I couldn't care less about milk but **** that -38 degree crap.   I'll flip burgers in Florida before I'll put up with that.

So the Burley, ID to Barrow, AK, while a small more alphabetically, was too much of a trade down? 

Is any part of this true?

My BIL was stationed in AK.  Moose in the yard but he never mentioned -38.   Yeah, screw that -38.

Yes.

Yes.

Moose in the yard, milder temps (Anchorage is basically on the ocean), he had to have been stationed at Elmendorf. . . er rather is it possible he was stationed at Elmendorf?

That is correct.
