Godspeed Bernie! I've yet to run into him, but I live between his farm and business location in Chagrin Falls. My son said hi to him at a local restaurant. Very friendly and gracious, though that's no surprise to anyone who had even a fan's exposure on TV. Always a class act, including while he played, so tragic his struggles with substance abuse but seems in a good place now.

A third reason Biden didn't release the Epstein files: Him and his family run a favors/powerbroker scheme similar to Epstein, lack of discretion is not good for business even to deep-six a competitor.

It's 2 reasons, 1. Epstein was not political but simply like a mafia don dealing in favors to any political persuasion of the rich and powerful worldwide. So any attempts by either party to torch Epstein would result in collateral and worldwide damage, and 2. Despite Epstein's low opinion of Trump and bragging he was the only one able to take Trump down, it doesn't appear Trump participated in the underage sex scandals in a significant way other than looking the other way to the Mar a Lago recruiting until it became too risky. Which is almost unprovable in court. Which, ironically, makes Trump the perfect person to facilitate the release, because one of his favorite tactics is to blow up establishments so he can reset and control the power brokering. Trade, immigration, whatever. And now that his Republican power base is highly fractured, he's suddenly willing to push for the release of the files. This is a big one that might bite him, but will also take the focus from him and allow him to re-establish power from the chaos. Let the fun begin! https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/what-epstein-s-emails-reveal-about-the-rich-and-famous-who-sought-his-advice/ar-AA1QuAxw?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=691af2690019456992718a0c2aa1b363&ei=43 Lengthy article but good snapshot of Epstein's diverse operating style, also discusses where the "Lolita Express" moniker came from!

Not sure that would be worse. I would at least get the feeling he's ashamed of his actions. From this video, not sure he even cares.

Great to see some agreement and a great discussion! I haven’t tried to pick through the email cache, but what I've seen has just blown me away. https://www.politico.eu/article/jeffrey-epstein-emails-reveal-contact-between-pedophile-and-former-council-of-europe-chief-thorbjorn-jagland/ “I think you might suggest to putin that lavrov can get insight on talking to me,” Epstein wrote to Thorbjørn Jagland, who was the human rights organization’s secretary-general at the time, in a June 24, 2018 email. How freaking insane is this???? I think this is far, far, bigger than Trump. I think Epstein was far more of a worldwide influence and power broker than just the underage girl component. At this point,I really don't think Trump was part of the underage thing, and Epstein might have different dirt on him. But really I think this is too massive a worldwide scandal and someone or some group's pulling the strings on Trump to avoid this coming out. I'm not a conspiracy guy, but would totally believe either someone killed Epstein of Epstein knew it would be coming and went on his own terms. This will be our generation's Watergate and we may never know the half of it.

Depends how and when it's done. From my youth coaching days, some kids preferred to be coached hard. Josh had no problem with Daboll yelling at him, but probably Daboll's temper was part of why he was fired. Josh taking him to task and trying to light a fire under him in practice might really help. Especially given Keon's apparent lack of brain power.

He should keep an open mind. Jim Trestle really laid the foundation and started the OSU transformation to the well-respected powerhouse it is today, expunging the meathead thug stink of Earle Bruce and John Cooper, lol.

Cignetti came from the smaller schools. I remember Jim Trestle having dominant teams at Youngstown State and no one would take a chance on him until OSU did. There's more options than just the highest profile names, Kraft just has to have a firm idea what he's looking for and enough evidence of coaching acumen on film.

I don't disagree with any of your points, but after 12 years, Franklin consistently clenched up and coached small in the biggest games. Time to find a coach who can really maximize his talents and rise to the occasion in the biggest games. Yes, they may hire a mistake or two, but stick with it.

Well then, it's a good thing no one is talking about consistently surpassing OSU, lol. 1-10 vs OSU, 4-17 vs OSU/Michigan, 4-21 vs top 10 opponents. We simply want to do better than this.

Great discussion I am late for! The thing for me is creativity in the playoffs on both sides of the ball and in the big games. Josh, to me, purposefully seems to avoid his scramble runs at this point. There have been multiple plays I see on TV where he's got space to run but he holds longer to throw the pass. I do wonder and hope that we will become more diverse and creative in the playoffs. Like Josh scrambling more for yardage, or hitting more of those deeper midrange throws. Plays are there downfield but we seem locked into this short yardage balanced attack with a few mid-range throws. I'm willing to be patient and see if things change when the games really count. I do wonder how much Brady is hemmed in by McDermott's risk averse edicts? Babich certainly was and arguably Leslie Frazier. McDermott had to step in both times and the defense immediately became more creative.

Maybe, but Soloman wasn't running it as effectively as Hoecht was. Of course the change of coaching oversight may be the difference also. It seems clear to me McDermott doesn't like to stunt his DL much and so the marauder role is critical in keeping the offense off balance. Hoecht's aggressiveness and effectiveness empowered and energized the entire defensive along with the secondary finally getting on the same page. They need to figure out SOMEBODY who can fill that role even half as well as Hoecht.

Well, now they can fight over who gets the cloned version in the divorce. Is this an improvement?
