Evan Turner used Instagram to tell everyone how mad a $3.50 Egg McMuffin makes him

Man if I had enough blind faith to BS myself that Meyers and Turner's contracts would be good.... I'd shave my head, start handing out Scientology pamphlets and keeping repeating "I'm clear."
 
Fine. I'm cool with also ran status if you are

How about you just make a comment on whether you think the Egg McMuffin is too expensive at $3.50.

Here I'll show you how it works;

It is ridiculous that you have to pay THAT much for just a muffin, egg and cheese. $3.50 should be the price when you want sausage, bacon, or ham on it.(I don't eat pork by the way)

Now you go.

It's funny that some of you blame Turner for his contract.

Could be worse. Ever heard NFL fans complain about their players asking for another 150k for a lifetime of brain damage? They take the attitude the poor house master took with Oliver Twist when he asked, "Please sir. May I have some more?"
 
You're confused in a few ways:

1. I was referring to my comment as to "how I'd motivate the youth" not 3RA1N1AC's. I was just following on his comment, which is why I quoted
2. I was making a throw-away joke, not social commentary
3. There is no (3)

If you'll scroll back through, you'll note that I didn't make fun of Turner.

I'm confused because I was asking an open ended question.
Okay...
Do I need green font here?

It's pretty easy for the youth of today to make their own with a breakfast sandwich maker for only $24.99.

24.99 is a lot for a single parent of one.
But it's not about only the cost, it's also about the preparation.

If he shot better, Portland might get further in the playoffs, thus increasing his playoff share. Since Dame organizes all the guys to give their money to staff, someone could have shown their appreciation and bought him an egg mcmuffin so we wouldn't have to hear guys, who can't shoot, making more in a year than most will in their lives, bitch and complain about something so trivial.

How'd I do?

Turner wasn't complaining about the Egg McMuffin costing $3.50 because he couldn't afford it, he is complaining about it being $3.50 for all of us who don't make millions of dollars and have to get by with less.

Paying $3.50 for a muffin, egg and cheese is too much and Turner addressed it.

Has NOTHING to do with how well he plays basketball so leave that part out of it.

That's exactly how I took it, too. It was a creative way to talk about the cost/wage discrepancy... and it came from a multi millionaire, so it does hold a bit of weight.
 
Make No McMistake.........He has too much time on his hands.
 
People shouldn't talk unless they are an elite long distance basketball shooter. Unless you are an elite long distance basketball shooter, your opinions or feelings, about anything, mean absolutely nothing whatsoever, to anyone.

And people with large amounts of money should never talk about how much things cost. You can only talk about the price of anything if you are poor, or happen to be on "the price is right". Having money means that your opinion about money doesn't matter at all, to anyone, ever.

Get a life.

I just said he should learn to shoot
 
The difference being that his "anger" is addressed at McDonalds, which sets the price of the Egg McMuffin. The frustration in this thread seems to be addressed at Turner, when it's the Blazers that gave him the massive contract. That's like being pissed at the Egg McMuffin.

Great post.
 
What ET complaining about? That's pocket change to him...He's a milionare and he's complaining about $3.50

Green font?


If not
“When the hell did the Egg McMuffin start costing $3.50? Just gonna sneak that right by us, huh? Ya’ll worried about Trump, they out here raising prices to McDonalds. Meanwhile, I’m supposed to be out here motivating youth and telling them to stay the course in society knowing damn well they out here charging $3.50 for Egg McMuffins. How can I talk to them with any type of conviction…?”
 
He's thinking of poor kids who don't have the 3.50....he didn't grow up rich...I read that that was what he meant

Depending on McD's for any kind of food on regular basis is just asking for a lifetime of health problems. It's cheaper and better to buy the stuff yourself and make your own with healthier choices.

No one will disagree with you.
But you must take into account the parents of these children ET is talking about.
A parent working two jobs doesn't typically have time to cook for their kids on a consistent biases.
Mcdonalds is easier for those parents.

I don't know about you, but I was not allowed to cook with oil until I was 8 years old, and even then I had to ask to do so. Then say when I was finished.
 
I think ET better start paying more attention to his house than the menu at MCD's. Trash still sitting out and now someones hung a trash bag on the sidewalk side of his fence/gate.
I am sure he is out of town, but whoever is watching the place isn't watching the place. I hope he doesn't trash that place cause its an AWESOME house.
