  1. 1. NFL eliminates the salary cap 2. Minnesota offers Jefferson straight up 3. Secret love letters to Kirk Cousins are found in Diggs locker Other than that, I think this thing is a go.
  2. What if I told you Eball played cornerback in High School?
  3. I partially agree with that Tweet. It’s author equates it with adventure and climbing Everest. Others in this thread have compared it to capsized migrants. The tweet notes the aura of the Titanic being the cause for increased attention. The posts here cite the financial well being of the passengers. That’s where I disagree with both. Although I agree that on a per capita basis this event has received a lot of attention, I don’t agree with their theories on why. Unfortunately people die on Everest frequently and that is also true for migrants in boats or on land. What separates this event is its unusual nature. There are new things involved that no one has read about before. Game controllers….close quarters….and so on, I’ll also concur that the Titanic component adds to the story. IMO that is why it is getting the press. Stories about migrants and climbers have been done before. It certainly doesn’t make their lives less valuable it just makes articles harder to write with some sort of new spin. Attribute that to laziness of the press or the consumer, but this story is the shiny object du jour.
  4. If someone ate a rich dude, wouldn’t the rich dude have had an untimely death? That Tweet contradicts itself.
  5. “Play stupid games get stupid prizes” is not mockery? What is it? Empathy? Indifference?
  6. That some might find mocking people who died a horrific death distasteful should have gone without mentioning distasteful but alas. If you have an issue with the media’s comparative coverage then perhaps there is a way to say that without turning your anger and mockery toward the deceased. As far as I’m aware, they are uninvolved in the decision making process of the media.
  7. And the 600 migrants you mentioned were being smart? Did they deserve their prize too? No one should be able to force you to think or not think in a certain way. It seems you’re taking glee in some peoples horrific death because they were rich. That’s your prerogative. It’s my prerogative to find that pathetic and sad…..which I do.
  8. If they were just regular idiots and not rich would you care?
  9. Only if one of us was drunk 24/7, a jerk to everyone everywhere and thought of ourself as the smartest person to ever live.
  10. Your statements about goals and success are demonstrably incorrect and by definition in conflict with each other. Bad analogies and projections of your youthful failures don’t change that. Are you now saying that if McDermott makes the Super Bowl or AFCCG and lost he should be retained? How about if these coaches fail to make conference championship: Salah Taylor Pederson Staley Reid Adding in McD there are six coaches in the AFC with franchise QBs. Maybe more depending on your assessment of Lamar, Tua, Deshaun, Wilson. I’m willing to bet you that no more than two coaches from that list make the AFCCG this year. Should the rest be summarily dismissed? Are you willing to bet that three or more of the coaches above will make the championship game this year? Are you willing to bet that two or more will make the Super Bowl this year? If so, let me know the amount.
  11. I’m just asking the poster named after someone who is smart. He emphatically stated there is only one goal. He then called someone who had not achieved that goal “successful”. At least one of those statements is false.
  12. This Lions helmet has half the board convinced we should fire McDermott. I don’t agree but it’s the best logic they’ve used so far.
  13. How could Reid have been “far more successful” if the “only goal” is to win a Super Bowl and he hadn’t. He has one goal. He hasn’t reached it. How can someone else who also has only one goal be “less successful”? Because Ben Johnson is cute? Or something?
  14. Your two answers contradict each other. Only goal is win Super Bpwl. Reid is an exception because…….?????…….nonsense which directly contradicts a sentence typed four seconds earlier. Why aren’t there 31 coaches fired every year?
  15. Lol so you’re cool rolling the dice on Ben Johnson or whoever the cutest OC du jour might be if McD wins a ring elsewhere dragged or not? Gruden burned hot but he burned things down. Dungy, while not perfect, produced consistently good results. Kind of like Reid before Mahomes dragged him huh?
  16. Saw on the highlights Cole grandstanding and trying to get on TV wagging his finger. Perfect clown for a clown organization. I feel bad for Harrison Bader going from a world class organization into that trash heap. Did they really pick their shortstop because his name sounds Italian and the other, superior, player has a Hispanic name and is tearing up the minors? I’d take him in a trade but we have Masyn Winn on the way, but unlike. Volpe, he is getting proper development.
  17. And if he DID get fired you’d be calling McD a control freak. You always win. Yay for you!
  18. Don’t stop him. He’s a Pats fan on a roll.
  19. Because he is the only one who fits the narrative you’ve been driving?
  20. Passive aggressive jerkiness is not your strong suit. Stick with direct jerkiness. If the Bills had drafted Skyy Moore in the 2nd and got the same results as the Chiefs you’d be on here proudly declaring how much smarter than Beane you are and listing a few guys that were better in 22. Instead he is on your wish list. It’s merely one of a trillion examples.
  21. Almost impossible is a higher number than mathematically impossible so yes. Unfortunately it will probably be too late and may be many years before they find that sub.
  22. Sorry dude but nominations closed on the 15th and yours will be judged on your body of work before then. The sarcasm quoted above, which is improved but still extremely weak, can be considered for the 2024 award ceremony, but not for this year. You may want to take a break and read up on some techniques rather than flailing about in ineptitude. Less is more.
