I'm not "hating" on it... but I will provide my opinion.  If you want to base a life changing decision on a random encounter with some guy at a gas station, I will not judge you for it. 

I personally would not do that and think it's a dangerous way to live.  In general however, Boston is more set financially than pretty much anyone on this board will ever be so if he wants to let some random dude decide whether he makes millions in Buffalo or LA, then... ok.

Imagine applying that to our lives? Have a job offer from two different companies. Go home to discuss it with wife and family.

 

Wife: We should discuss this.

You: No need honey.

Wife: Why?

You: Well one is in the northern part of the state and the other is in the southern part. On my way home I saw a guy who looked just like Tim Allen. Tim Allen was in the Santa Clause which is my favorite movie and Santa is from the north pole. So I saw that as a sign to choose the company in the north.

Maybe a broke guy begging for money at a gas station with the initials L.A. was a sign Tre should go to Buffalo or he would end up like that guy? LOL

To paraphrase Milan Kundera, man is so in love with the idea of fate that we fail to notice all the other many coincidences in life that do not connect to our romantic idea of ourselves and what we value with meaning.

The chargers are a good team in a good state. He has a better chance of playing time. He's just a self-important goofball like the rest of us.

Maybe "L.A" stood for "Lucifer awaits"? There are so many ways to take that, that's why it's foolish to make life decisions on mere coincidences. That's a dangerous path.

I have no ill will toward Tre and I wish him well.

As to the story, if all other things were equal in his mind, then I don't see a problem with him making his decision this way.

If all things are equal, yes. But all things are rarely equal, only similar. Chance encounters should not be used to direct your life. That's letting your emotions make decisions for you. Your emotions will get you in places you can't get out of.

Would it have been better if he had flipped a coin?

There are times when all factors are equal in someone's mind. In cases like that, someone may choose to look elsewhere.

Everybody knows that the real magic sage panhandlers hang out at strip mall exits, not gas stations. Way to go Tre. Another blown assignment.

I've always thought Tre was a "stand up guy". I really do wish him well in L.A. just as long as we don't play them[emoji23]

It would have been less dramatic but just as reasonable.

As someone who has had similar experiences, I can say this...

Thanks for the benji Tre. I already spent it on crack.
