Doc Brown

He gave Miami two first round picks last year. Remember that you're dealing with an idiot who would absolutely trade within his own conference.

After watching Trump for four years it gets easier to interpret what he's talking about as his mind gets off track and then the other side misquoting him without context.

Anybody who watched the debate knew Biden was talking about banning fracking on federal lands. Give me a break with this crap.

That's not odd at all. The Patriots mystique inflates the betting lines.

Will go up to +2000 if Pats resign Brady if Tampa deal doesn't happen. That's when you pounce.

Agents are well aware that they don't have to pay state income tax on at least 50% of their games. It's just a small advantage these teams have when recruiting free agents.

I know that. Government programs once started sometimes never cease though. Would Jeff Bezos get $1,000?

No state income tax and warmer weather. I wonder if Shaq gave Beane the opportunity to match it?

Mitt Romney's on board with UBI One Utah senator proposed Monday putting $1,000 into the pocket of every adult in the country to help ensure families and workers can pay their bills and shop during the coronavirus pandemic. Sen. Mitt Romney offered the idea among several suggestions in a call for “urgent” action to provide economic relief for working Americans, ease the financial burden for students and protect health workers and patients. Romney said the House coronavirus response package passed last week contains critical measures to help families in Utah and across the nation, and the Senate should act swiftly on the legislation. But, he said, more must be done. “I will be pushing these measures as Senate discussions continue about an additional relief package,” he said. Giving people cash during an economic crisis isn’t unprecedented. Congress took similar action during the 2001 and 2008 recessions, Romney said. While expansions of paid leave, unemployment insurance and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits are crucial, the check will help fill the gaps for Americans that may not quickly navigate different government options, according to the Republican senator. Also Monday, former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. — a 2020 GOP candidate for governor — put out a list of recommendations to protect the state’s economy. Stimulating consumer spending and maintaining capital investment are among the key points. “Whatever we do, we should keep consumer confidence high, even look for incentives that apply to travel, tourism, spending,” he said.

I'd take Jussie Smollett's word over WGR.

That's because the Cardinals aren't paying Johnson's salary. The Texans are according to reports which makes this deal even more laughable.

When they give out trade grades all lopsided trade deal losers should just be given a grade of BOB instead of an F from now on.

The question and answer was meant as a distraction to grab the headline instead of covering the actual substance of the debate. We're not talking about how Bernie pointed out how often Biden shifted his policy positions whichever way the wind blew over the years and how that's a terrible position to be in going against Trump. Instead we're in some kind of reality show where Biden will give a rose to 10 different women over the next few months.

Not really. We're all going to die anyways (it's just a matter of which order) so I want my "distraction" to be a high quality product. They'll be plenty of 8-9 teams who make the playoffs in the new format. Then they'll play pry a 13-3 team that deserves a bye because of their terrific regular season making their path to the Super Bowl easier. Instead, they now have to play three single elimination games where one bad game and they're out. Both adding a #7 seed and a #2 seed not getting a bye devalues the importance of the regular season.

Tammy Baldwin or Amy Klobachar are my guesses.

I think we'll make some fireworks by signing Jason Pierre Paul.

Belichick addressed this a couple of years ago. I remember it being news because he actually expanded on an answer instead of "on to Cincinnati." The NFL made sure to include that of those two extra spots added that one must be an offensive lineman. That's to prevent the potential "specialist" problems Belichick brings up. Belichick: Those questions, and look, they're good questions, they come up every year, and I know that the league meetings, those get talked about in one version or another. We'll start with the game day roster. The issue with the game day roster is if you allow all the players to play, let's say you allow all 53 players to play, then you get into some competitive situations due to injuries where I have 53 players but you only have 48 because you have guys that are hurt and that type of thing. So there is a competitive aspect to that versus the argument of, 'Well they're all on the team, they're all being paid, so why can't we use them?' It kind of goes back and forth on that one. I think one of the issues with the extra players if you will, like going from 46 to some higher number on game day, it gets into the over-specialization. Do you have a long field goal kicker, a short field goal kicker, a kickoff guy, a field goal kicker, extra specialty-type players that therefore just require other extra specialty-type players? So if you carry four tight ends or you carry a lot of receivers or a lot of backs and use formations and personnel groups ... So you have a Wildcat quarterback, you've got a regular quarterback, you've got a backup quarterback, you've got some other type of quarterback, that just forces a similar specialization on defense to match up with that. I don't know if that's really where we want the game to go. There was a time in the National Football League, not that long ago, when the same 11 players played on offense on every play and the same 11 defensive players played on defense on every play. The fans knew all the players. Now it's hard for me, and I'm full time at this, to keep up with all the players, even on the teams that we play, like the Giants, or I'm sure the Giants are looking at us. There is a lot of roster movement and guys on and off and injuries and practice squad guys and all that, so when you add the practice squad players on the roster potentially because they could be added all the way up to the day before the game, that's other depth that you have on your roster that you can get up to your 46 if you need to. So, you're talking about training camp numbers -- I'm not sure in the overall big picture of the league how many of the players of those extra 320 players, the guys from 80-90, from 81-90, that let's say five years ago wouldn't have been on a roster in training camp, although you had the Europe exemption guys and all that. I'd say the 85-90 number, somewhere in there, was what the training camp numbers have been for a while. You get into that whole how much higher do you need to go than 90 for training camp and what impact do those players really have on the overall quality of the league, although I think without doing a total study on it, certainly my impression is that the injuries in the early part of the season -- training camp to the early part of the season -- is definitely on the incline, so maybe that's something that would warrant further study. And again, I'm sure that the league will take a look at that every year. But in the end, it comes down to the players that are playing, and I think as you get into the second half of the season, what you usually see at this point is players going on injured reserve that are going to be out for the season because the season is shorter, they have less time to recover, players going on injured reserve, teams bringing in emergency players, whether they bring them in from outside the organization or they bring them up from the practice squad, and in a lot of cases those players that get added to the team or even to the 46-man roster don't play a tremendous amount I'd say overall as a group, although there are some notable exceptions. But overall you don't see those guys getting a lot of playing time. So when you lose a player and replace him with an emergency player or a practice squad player on your roster, I'd say probably the general tendency of most teams and most coaches would be to take their other better players who are already on the team and use them more rather than take another body that hasn't been with the team and give those snaps to the player that is now out of the lineup. I think usually you try to find a way to take what you have and just do more with it rather than take somebody that is a lot further away and isn't as familiar with what you're doing and what your system is and think you're going to get them up to the same speed that the guy that you just got hurt was at. Another long answer to a short question, but there are a lot of different aspects to it and obviously there are a lot of other factors involved, like the CBA and the Player's Association and salary cap implications and benefits and a thousand other things, most of which I'm not even familiar with. But it does impact the competitiveness of the game.

I wouldn't trade up for him but would be happy if he dropped to us. Most mocks I've seen have him going to the Eagles at #21.

This should tick people off more. An 8-8 team should not make the playoffs and 7 would've made it in the last 10 years. Yuck.

Bernie's destroying Biden. Imagine what Trump's going to do. Him being the nomination will be a nightmare.

Or Matt Gaetz. That guy's hilarious.

We're going to look at the 2002-2019 league, regular season schedule, and playoff format as the golden years. It was as close to perfect as you can get. Luckily, adding one playoff team and one regular season game will only slightly dilute the regular season. Better than the 18 games they were proposing.

I hope we get to that point. However, if we're still not sure (like the Bucs and Titans last year), it's a good thing we have that 5th year option. Right now I don't even know if he cracks the top 10.

He's under contract for three more seasons assuming we pick up the 5th year option so we should have plenty of time to see if he's worth it.

Same reason Garappalo doesn't have one. Kyle Shanahan refuses to run the ball to close out the Superbowl. I agree with you though that he's a step above the players I listed.
