5. No he didn't get fired. George gave him an insulting offer
and he said "Fuck you very much"

14. I'm a Sox fan , so I will only defend him so far.

5 mil is a little deceiving. It was 3 with incentives and

for one year. In context it was a bit insulting and George was being an ass.

10. There hasn't been any news on the typical local news broadcast for at
least 20 years.

It's a distracting combination of violent crimes, amazing car crashes, "heartwarming" stories about cute children or cute animals, promos for the networks' TV series, and sports. Lots and lots of sports, because sports are the most important thing in the world.

You'll search in vain for any news about what your city council and state legislature are up to, or what tricks the local companies are trying to pull.
