Doc Brown

If he's paying California taxes on that he might be able to upgrade from a 1 bedroom to a 2 bedroom apartment.

You've got to be kidding me. I don't even know what you're trying to convey? You think so little of the American Constitution and people that you think we'd let Trump have the power to become someone akin to a Turkish autocrat? Dude couldn't even get money for a wall his first time term. Is the reason his approval rating went down and then back up was because he's becoming less of an autocrat and have nothing to do with his idiotic trace policy.....and I'm the one living in a bubble?

I knew you meant that. Just thought it was funny because my feelings towards Black Friday aren't that fall off from Black Monday. Historically, a Democratic presidency with a majority Republican House and Congress led to the most gains in the stock market. The markets hate uncertainty and they know no major legislation will pass with a divided government. My frustration with the tariffs is the lack of Congressional involvement where they're supposed to have power of the purse. They know it's dumb policy but will be chastised if they criticize him unless you're popular in your state because of your libertarian principles like Rand Paul. I laugh seeing the rest twist themselves into pretzels trying to defend it. My main criticism of Biden was forgiving student loans before the Supreme Court called it executive overreach over Congress. I don't see how the tariffs are any different. You'd think people who criticized Biden would also criticize Trump if they were being intellectually consistent. Of course that would mean the politicians who supported Biden's EO's on the left shouldn't be criticizing Trump right now. That's politicians for you though.

I can see Terry Bradshaw explaining it to us in the studios come week 18 next year.

I give Trump credit for at least recognizing why his poll numbers went down and fixing the problem. It's not a sign of weakness.

No way to tell but the majority of voters didn't want to find out so it's irrelevant.

Step 1 - Implement tariffs to make my approval go down from -1 to -8. Step 2 - Mostly cave on tariffs to make my approval go back up from -8 to -1. I'm not an expert but maybe just stop getting in the way of the free market

Do you mean Black Monday? There's always concerns with market corrections and it's mostly pushed by people who want the stock market to drop so they can buy low. Also, people who make their living selling gold or other metals benefit off of people's fears of the market tanking. You obviously can't prove our 401k's would be higher if Trump didn't implement tariffs. However, I do think his actions made a lot of people's pockets a lot lighter than it should be right now.

Make them the 7 seed. It would be weird to celebrate winning the division in week 18 but being eliminated from the playoffs. Celebrating pouring champagne for five minutes followed by five minutes of sitting down devastated?

That was my thought too. Although, nothing would've changed in the last five years as far as Bills WC opponent goes.

I didn't catch that. Thanks. If this rule was put in last year the WC games for the AFC would have just had the Chargers host the Texans in the WC round. Everything else would be the same. NFC would have same teams but three different WC matchups.... WC Games would've been Bucs @ Eagles, Rams @ Vikings, and Packers @ Redskins.

Thought this was interesting. All four division winners make playoffs but then are reseeded 1 through 7 based on record. Division winners would have the higher seed if they had the same record as a non division winner. I'm not a fan of this because the way the scheduling format is set up leads to an unbalanced schedule (eg., playing AFC North and NFC North is a lot harder than playing AFC South and NFC South). The only tweak I would make is this would only apply this if a division winner finishes below .500. Thoughts?

Well, 8645 didn't work and now he's back in office. I think Comey's just a weird dude that enjoyed being in the spotlight. He knew there's pry half a million people with no life constantly monitoring social media posts. If not, then he's a dumb weird dude.

That's wishful thinking. As nauseating as it for me to say, it's pry more likely they'll be even better after being embarrassed in the Super Bowl. I thought they showed a lot of character being down 40-6 and still playing as hard as they did to make it 40-22. Too good of a head coach. Too good of a starting QB. Just a solid organizational culture It's us, them, and the Ravens. I'd be shocked if any other AFC team makes the Super Bowl.

A better way to determine strength of schedule is following the money (Vegas over/unders) for this year. In that case we have the 5th easiest schedule in the league. Unless you're a degenerate gambler who makes their own power rankings but I digress.

Food's always been a better safe than sorry thing with me as my immune system sucks. With air fryers you pry get 95% of the quality heating up the pizza than made fresh.

Don't forget that Tremaine Edmunds is finally old enough to vote.

Jeez. Don't give them any ideas.

It's not that surprising to me because the market sentiment was pretty strong when he entered office and reached record highs after he was inaugurated. Then Trump did his bs trade crap and the markets had the worst three months since Carter was in office. It was more people of retirement age that were sweating it out as opposed to long term investors. Once Trump backed off a lot of investors took the opportunity to buy the dip. One person should not have that much power when it comes to influencing the global economy imo. Congress needs to pass legislation to regain the power of the purse when it comes to implementing tariffs.

This article was over a month ago and major indexes are not down significantly since he took office. Stock indexes (S&P, Dow, Nasdaq, etc.) are about where they were when he took office. You're right though in if he was locked in a room since inauguration and did nothing we'd pry be much better off.

At least they've got that going for them.

No. We're good. Trump told Tim Cook to stop moving Apple's operations from China to India and to the US so we can pay at least a 1/3 more. Completely in line with isolating China which I thought was the goal. Or was it bringing back crappy manufacturing jobs to the US? Guy knows what he's doing. President's should regularly lecture private company CEO's too.

That can't be the plan though because there's no guarantee one would be available. I would've absolutely traded a 2nd and a 5th for DK Metcalf and paid him the same amount. A strong offensive line, a strong running game, and then allowing Coleman to develop as a WR2 with Shakir/Kincaid as slot threats. Talk about opening up an offense. We saw what an aging Amari Cooper did like you mentioned in the Chiefs game. There's a reason Beane went on WGR to chastise the hosts about WR's. He wanted to change the narrative because he's failed at drafting day 1 or 2 WR talent starting in 2021 imo. Now we have to pay WR's more than they're worth in free agency (Samuel, Palmer) or hope Elijah Moore can somehow break out in year 5. Beane does a lot of things right. WR seems to be his blind spot though imo..

How sustainable is that though? The problems is when the run game isn't rolling and we get far behind against a good defense we get stat lines from Allen of 9 of 30 for 131 yards or 16 of 29 for 180 yards. Guys just aren't getting open. Josh starts to press and some of his bad tendencies come back. People point to the loss of Shakir but that shows how little talent/depth we had at the position. I think you're correct and we may be WR hunting again during the season. I know it is. Congratulations. You suck less than we thought because our QB has become Houdini at avoiding negative plays because our WR's can't get open.

I was more responding to this belief that we're just so far way from the Chiefs and we'll never get by Mahomes. We lost by what? Six in OT, three, and three against them two of the last three years. Does that narrative even start if Gabe catches the TD with 9 seconds left instead of 13? I wish we added more true play makers on offense but upgrading the defense even a little could do the trick. That's assuming the Chiefs are more in our heads than they are the player's.
