my gut is damar to the practice squad and called up with the first injury I’d argue 4 is Marlowes spot to lose

that’s all well and nice but it’s rare they are actually providing meaningful local coverage. It’s a really challenging crossroads currently. We would all benefit from great local news, instead of the barrage of national headlines. We keep getting asked to pay more for worse local news content, and worse experiences. If my local paper gave exceptional coverage I’d be all about it, but local message boards seem to give more qualified deep dives into relevant issues while the local newsroom missed completely.

positional value likely his largest challenge

Jaguars starting LT Cam Robinson gets only 4 games suspended for PEDs
NoSaint replied to Saxum's topic in The Stadium Wall
I didn’t actually wonder about it. I just assumed he had some mitigating circumstance -
great team that couldn’t close the deal is at best bittersweet. in The context of now, how excited are you to have the AFCE banner go up? Not super thrilled I’m guessing even if it’s an accomplishment it’s like having a great individual performance in a team loss - you recognize the feat, but it’s still got that feeling of an asterisk

I was one to jump to intoxicants as the culprit but seeing this - there have been a number of incidents on the coast this week. Folks ignoring the warnings. Quite a few deaths in the headlines. Could still have other factors but sobriety wouldn’t be abnormal here either

If one of those stars is the qb it’s by default better than the no stars but balanced offense. Yet alone a balanced one where the bills are very near as good or better at all the positions -
How long does it take an NFL head coach to reach his 1st Super Bowl?

do you ever think back on the 90s as bittersweet? Would you hate to have a similar albeit slightly less successful era with Josh Allen? the only thing that matters is getting the ring. -

I’ve been on like 30 flights. Can I claim to be expert next plane crash? honestly, I don’t know how full involvement but I suspect he’s much more of a passenger than designer on these subs. -

yea man, I’m sure bengals fans warmly miss the Marvin Lewis years Even successful rosters see huge churn in 3 years. Taking over a team results in having a ton of your own guys inside of 2 off-seasons. Most importantly, a cost controlled quarterback -

it’s probably as simple as “we think it’s highly likely” vs “we absolutely know” -

The terror of being stuck certainly contributed to the story. But we will remember this for years to come even knowing those horror movie scenes were not real. They will forever be the billionaires with more money than sense and that also appeals greatly to the public interest. The only certainties? That the backdrop of the titanic didn’t spark the immense interest. That their bravery to be adventurers wasn’t the immense interest. rich men do incredibly dumb thing and maybe find themselves in a live action disaster porn? Binge watching. -

I can come up with a near infinite list of thrilling items that surpass “sit in a tiny can with strangers to see some debris” the 19 year old conquered nothing, showed no acumen, made no human connection, achieved nothing… a gondola to the top of a ski slope is more exciting than hopping in this sketchy sub. And that’s why people are so amazed by this. Not because they think these men were on some uniquely intriguing adventure into the unknown. They were chasing fake accomplishments at a cost we cannot fathom that turned into the ultimate price - a cost we very much understand. -

honestly, disagree with large portions of the tweet. I think the fact that billionaires with the world at their fingertips chose to go in a modified propane tank with a bucket to go to the bathroom to look at wreckage on a screen really caught people. The controller is just an easy symbol to point to of the absurdity of the risk, even if not in and of itself a practical measure of said risk. there was no achievement, there was no escape from oppression, there was nothing relatable to your average human… just throwing away ones life with an immense risk that had minuscule reward. They rolled the dice annd bet their lives in exchange for…. what upside? dying in pursuit of summiting a mountain at least has some tangible human conquering nature narrative that stirs people and its dying in a quest. This is billionaires that could buy anything and that they chose THIS I think has really caught most people in a different way. Not the titanic as a backdrop. Not some faux sense of bravery. just sheer unreasonable and unrelatable decision making from folks that are thought to be in a position of excellence. And that’s a story the masses can be dumbstruck by for a couple days -

at this point the most likely outcome unless by some random coincidence they landed on the ocean floor close enough to the titanic that someone stumbles into them… and even if someone does it sounds unlikely it’d be anything remotely recognizable to identify. But maybe a random piece gets found. -
Cant sing the praises enough for the pit barrel - they call it a rib and chicken machine and it’s true.

From what seem to be expert posts in the field (who knows on the interwebs) I’ve seen a few posts about readings from the window where it disappeared there was a likely implosion picked up, and the current noises are likely normal day to day stuff honestly, as long as everyone knows the risks going in, I’m fine with risk taking… but should come with a preface of adequate insurance coverage to cover rescue costs or if funded by tax expense minimal search/rescue on the back end… as morbid as that sounds -
Bills promote Eric Washington to assistant head coach

if down the stretch we have Floyd, Rousseau, Miller and Oliver racking up sacks, he could quickly elevate. Our defense has a decent rep and that unit could make a big jump, possibly -

why would diggs say no to getting his salary as an up front bonus, even if they spent the cap space on a backup punter? Yet alone a good edge rusher. -

well, and to some degree that’s why I was curious about insurance needs on these. The societal cost of disaster is quite expensive even on a small vessel. But honestly no idea what the actual regulations are on a submarine in international waters…. -

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/whistleblower-raised-safety-concerns-oceangate-190058533.html whistle blower fired a few years back. Bodes well. not ignoring the human element here, but on a practical level definitely curious about insurance carried on something like this. -

then there is the complete opposite with the Byford dolphin pressurization incident. of course that was above water and by default kind of the opposite concern from this one, but not a distant cousin of the topic.
