blarzgh posted:1. The NOLA game was a fluke, save for the fact that Dallas actually has a pretty great run defense and NOLA couldn't get the run going. Agree with all of this. I can deal with them keeping Garrett if they win. I’ll be happy if they fire Garrett if they lose. Nightmare scenario is they lose and JJ keeps Garrett. And Dak leaves when they lowball him.

If you are judging solely based off of winning Super Bowls, I would agree with you. But I think in terms of game planning, creative and exciting play calling, and chemistry, Payton and Brees are better. Also Brees and Payton aren’t gigantic assholes.

As much as it pains, me, A-aron Rodgers is the best QB. Thankfully, McCarthy is like the worst NFL coach with a winning record in history. Yes, worse than Gruden, who won't have a winning record soon.

Could you imagine if Sean Payton had been able to get the cowboys to trade him Tony Romo before he replaced Bledsoe?

Still wondering what Seattle was thinking with a drop onside kick, a tactic that as far as I can tell has never worked in the history of the modern NFL*? *Assuming you could even onside kick in the 30’s

Their punter was the backup kicker. He drop kicked last week when seabass was out for half the game. He practiced some kicking from the tee and was atrocious. The only way he had any accuracy was drop kicking. He just accidentally put too much juice into it.

I think we can all agree that the worst possible super bowl would be Rams-Chargers. There is no less deserving “fan base” in all of sports.

So hey, on a serious note, I think I might need to quit my job. I’ve only been there two and a half months, but I don’t see it changing with more experience. I’m going to work excessive hours. I’m going to have more cases than I can handle. And people’s lives are dependent on my actions. The longer I do this, the more severe the issues. I feel lost all the time, and, quite frankly, I don’t know that any amount of time is going to change that. I think ethically speaking I should sit down with my boss to discuss this and just work to wind down my current cases and just stay on long enough to resolve them or transfer them to someone else. Either way, I cannot see myself doing this long term.

I doubt it'll accomplish much but you might be more valuable than you think and they might be able to adjust work load/tempo. Would you say this is worse that submarine JO life or that you don't want to return to that lifestyle?

I’d rather be a sub nuke than this. SWO life was a breeze. It’s not necessarily the work load. It’s the work load in combination with the real world impact of my work. I’m also broken physically and mentally and can see the impact the work has on my life. I get up, go to work, come home, and go to sleep. I’m too old for that.

Private defense. Haven’t looked for anything don’t care/need a job while I’m winding this down. Boss is a former PD type. And we have clerks that are licensed and true believers that can take my place. I just don’t think I’m personally able to do it.

I am, and my job is arguably on the cushier side of small-time attorney work. Due to among other things, labour laws, but whatever. Have you considered building a cabin?

Going to try to actually post in this thread this year. Somehow made it to my fourth year in biglaw. Didn't plan on lasting this long. Also didn't plan on still having as much debt as I do. Hopeful that I'll be able to transition to "something else" but utterly clueless as what that will/could be.

I feel lost all the time, and, quite frankly, I don’t know that any amount of time is going to change that. That's really hard man, I'm sorry. The first thing I'll say is you have to take care of yourself, so you should quit if you really think that's what you need to do. Especially in light of ongoing health issues I remember you mentioning. With that said, though, I honestly think that sometimes you just have a rough patch with this work and can come through it and eventually feel better later -- especially when you first start and everything seems overwhelming. It might be worth it to try to take some space on a weekend, say, and ask yourself exactly what it is that is causing your feeling of burnout and fear. Yes, legal work is high stakes -- if you are a human being at all, you feel bad about the outcomes your clients may face and it feels like it is all riding on you. But with experience you can get really good and begin to feel like you are at least doing the best that any person can reasonably do for them, given the situation, and the truth is outcomes are often outside of our control. I also read Trauma Stewardship not too long ago and found that book helpful for thinking about self-care in the profession and setting yourself up for success if you do keep doing defense work. Good luck bud

Chicago's going to kill that poor kicker, even though it was tipped and the bears played like garbage. Mr. Nice, I honestly think that feeling is normal first year in criminal law. I recommend asking questions more often than you thing neccesary and trying to see if it falls into place.
