Drinking in your 30s is nonstop hangover.

I know it's fun to joke about it but I think there would be some serious issues if Bryant missed multiple games this year because of hangovers

Yea, I mean even hungover he's gotta be better than any bench option. Serious managerial question for Joe to answer.

People his age don't get hangovers.

 

Eh, maybe I was a [expletive].

 

I get fewer hangovers now (early 30s) than when I was in my teens/early 20s.

 

All about prevention.

 

I drink less excessively in my 30s, much less bingy than in my early 20s. But I definitely have worse hangovers and less tolerance towards alcohol especially liquor.

I got hangovers in my early 20's but only when drinking quite a bit and not drinking any water, they were manageable and the worst ones ended around noon.

The only time I ever really had a full-blown hangover was my 21st birthday (it was a Sunday so went out at midnight the night before). Minor ones otherwise maybe, but never anything that kept me from functioning normally.

I've had one bad headache hangover (20 years ago) and have never puked from drinking

 

Then again, I stick entirely to beer and don't really like being drunk.

I had 3 beers about 2 weeks ago, and I'm still feeling it.

If I don't get a good night's sleep at this point I feel hungover. Aging is the worst.

I'm still fricking exhausted from getting home at 12:30 after game 3. Getting old sniffs butt.

This and watching what I eat hasn't ruined it for me. If I eat anything remotely unhealthy after 10PM, my stomach hurts & I'm a foul person to be around till mid-afternoon.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I've already started discussions of moving to a warmer climate because of all of the aches I get when stupid fall hits. I am officially an old man.

[SouthSideRyan]

Meh, I can still eat garbage. I ate a dinner of 6 white castles at 11 last night.

I'm jealous, I'd still be nauseous.

What the hell is wrong with you guys?

 

None of these things happens to me. I still drink much more than I should (on weekends, usually), I eat trash from time to time at any hour, and it all goes pretty much the same way it always has. If I'm proactive about preventing the hangover, I'll be OK. If not, varying levels of pain.

 

Here comes some kind of robot joke.

 

I take naps, though. Before going out and whatnot. Always have. Are you sure it's not just the everyday 9-5 type work schedule?

well yeah, i'm 32...but i think some of the people talking are in that range

[Sammy Sofa]

Ugh, naps. The only thing that's make me feel worse than a short night of sleep is a nap. I feel like such a zombie afterwards.

[Guest]

i practically live off naps. i love them.

[SouthSideRyan]

That and Quaker State

Uh, did we somehow just miss this?(I know I did anyway)

 

At any rate, for the 80 CSN games this year, we made an extra 150k per....Thats 12 mill in additional revenue obviously. And instead of opt outs, it looks like this goes up gradually to 750K until 2019.

 

WGN is undisclosed over their 45 games, but rumors say they're at 500K per, which is doubled. As they were at 250K per. So if that's the case, it's an extra 11.25 mill.

 

The 25 games from ABC are getting 750K per game. They WERE WGN games at 250K, making us an extra 12.5 per obviously.

 

So, we've got an extra 24.5 mill we didn't have last year just from the TV deal revenue, NOT even counting WGN, which may very well push it up to 35.75.

 

Sooooooo HOLY [expletive] [expletive]??????(unless I missed this somehow)

That's cool as [expletive], but wrong thread.

 

I missed that too. Don't recall seeing dollar amounts on the ABC games previously.

 

EDIT - Wait, this is old. I remember this now. I wouldn't assume we got WGN to 500k, though. It seemed like that contract was signed out of desperation. I didn't remember the tidbit about CSN increasing, but that's cool.
