  1. When you have $90M in cap space and extra $5M doesn't mean anything. He played great last game too and you got a glimpse of the impact he can have when healthy. I just don't see how you are going to spend that extra $5M and make a better impact, so what's the point?
  2. Dude is always injured. ALWAYS.
  3. My lord, have you ever seen him throw a pass? He has the best pure arm in the league. The BEST.
  4. It's his son.
  5. If any company had the guts to say "we aren't apologizing for this, it's ridiculous" they would have a lifetime customer in me. I'm so sick of all the PC / SJW B.S.. What do you expect when you name your child something so idiotic. "Hey, look at me, I am so unique and clever with how I named my child." Too bad I didn't consider the impact it could have on them in their lives. So selfish. Such an idiot. You get what you deserve.
  6. Already a thread on this here:
  7. Also a major contributing factor for sure. Like Nader costing Gore. But I think Perot's impact was more a result of the broken promise and the state of the economy at the time. Without those, Perot doesn't get the support he got.
  8. There is medical proof that people can die from "broken hearts." This is very common in older folks who lost their spouse after decades of marriage. It causes chemical imbalances. I knew he wasn't going to last much longer after Barbara passed. Happened to my grandfather as well. I always like GW and felt he got a bad rap for the economy that wasn't his fault but more a result of Reagan's policies or the cyclical nature of the economy in general. Should have never said "Read my lips" during the campaign. That is what cost him the most.
  9. This is so dumb and overplayed. You don't hit a woman if she is attacking your wife, your mother, your child? You don't hit a woman if she is attacking you with a knife or a baseball bat? You don't hit a woman if she is beating you over and over and won't stop despite you trying to walk away? It may take a lot, but to say you never hit a woman just because she is a woman no matter what she does is just asinine.
  10. And we could have drafted Tom Brady at least 5 times and Gronk and Watt and OBJ and Antonio Brown multiple time and on and on and on. 20/20 in hindsight and all.
  11. Hi. I watched one Cowboys game where the announcers, one of which is a former Cowboy himself, were gushing over some rookie LB. Now I'm convinced he's the greatest thing since sliced bread and a sure fire Hall of Famer. That is all.
  12. Agree, my post was ONLY about the money aspect of it. Was not attempting to put down the awesome gesture in any way. Was just saying that he can easily afford it when some were saying it was an awesome gesture especially considering his level of pay.
  13. Did you read the last paragraph? Never said it wasn't awesome, just calling out people saying that he doesn't make that much money. He makes more than 95% of the households in this country.
  14. I mean, the guy does make like $250k per year. That's quite a bit of money. Yeah, it's not mult-millions, but come on, the guy can afford to buy a pair of shoes for a fan without it affecting him one bit. It's not like he's a single mom making $30k or anything. Awesome gesture though, but let's not get crazy on how much of a personal sacrifice he made. He was being super nice, that's about it.
  15. I don't think Barr will cost $90M. Plenty of money left after to go after WR and OLine. If you can get another LB of quality, do it.
  16. It has a solid steel beam not connected to it before the bridge and set at the same height as the bridge that the trucks hit first instead of hitting the bridge. GPS is intentionally only accurate to like 10 meters or something like that. So people can think they should turn when they shouldn't. Military gets the more accurate GPS, but don't share it since it is a military advantage for them for things like targeting missiles and such.
  17. I'm predicting Color Rush uni's for the Lions game. Last home game before Xmas. Been noticing other teams wearing theirs the last few weeks.
  18. Souly, funky, jazzy, sick.
  19. Agree. I saw it too and commented during the game how much better I thought Bojorquez was. Schmidt just has no hang time on his long punts, they don't ever have to fair catch when he lets them go and we always seem to be giving up decent returns. Sure, it looks like he has a good average, but when you take into account the return, it sucks.
  20. You can't possibly think it's better than that gem "Get Up" on the worldwide wide leader in sports, right??? Seriously though, you're right. For me it's GMF from October-January. But during baseball season I'm watching MLB Central on MLB Network. Both are very good and I even throw the other one on at times to change it up during their off-seasons. Sooooo much better than any garbage they are showing on ESPN these days.
  21. Don't understand how anyone (looking at you WGR) can complain about us trading up to take this kid. Great MLBs make a huge difference on a D. Mike Singletary, Derrick Brooks, Ray Lewis, Bobby Wagner, Luke Kuechly, Patrick Willis all led strong defenses and they were the cornerstones. Sooooo much better than Preston Brown already and he's only 20.
  22. Yesterday (well, Sunday)? Mayfield is a douche every day. That attitude is a lot of what I like about him and what Cleveland desperately needs. Especially if he can back it up with his play.
  23. I hope we go the renovation route. Keep the tailgating atmosphere we have out in the 'burbs which may be tough to do downtown. Plus, I don't think this area could support an expensive new stadium and the seat licensing, increased ticket prices, and necessary corporate buy-in (suites and such) required to make it successful. Sure, a new stadium would be cool, but we need to be realistic. And our current stadium makes us unique in the league (well, Green Bay too), nostalgic for visitors.
  24. Man, I would love to see Dougie boy get fired this off-season. That would be fantastic.
  25. This is not true. They don't show it because they don't have license to do NHL games, so they don't care about it. They only show stuff that they air. I mean, come on, they show WNBA highlights for heaven's sake, you think that is more popular than the NHL? No way. They show them because they broadcast that league and they are trying to shove down our throats that it is actually watchable so they can get some ratings. Same with women's college basketball. And they have a hockey show on it too i believe. Different platform I guess so they show some love.
