Anybody have any clue how much the typical NFL owner made in profits last year?

CNN would do less damage to the Democratic party and pry get higher ratings if they just ran old reruns of old Larry King Live interviews 24/7.

Dem posters here...are you good with this idea? Chime in, please.
I think he's out of his god damn mind. This party has lost its mind on illegal immigration. It was only twelve years ago when Obama, Hillary, and Schumer voted for a border fence.

Why are they considering this?
Midterms are in November.

I know it's perfectly normal at this point, but it's nuts to think that if he pans out, he'll be paid more on his 5th year option than all 4 years combined.
If he pans out they'll be talking record contract money. Forget the extension. They'll want to sign him long term before the price for a QB goes up even more the next offseason. I hope we have that problem.

Lifestlye choice as in not being born into a rich family?
Shame on them for not arranging to be born rich.....
I don't have much sympathy for people since the passage of the ACA that can't afford their co-pays. Now that insurance companies can't discriminate against you for pre-existing conditions, medicaid expansion, being able to stay on your parent's plan until your 24, employers with 50 or more workers requiring to provide insurance to full time employees, etc... it's likely the reason you can't afford you co-pay is a lack of planning (including spending habits).

Daryl Williams OT from the Panthers is somebody to keep an eye on.

Four years. Who would've guessed.

The lack of 20 somethings on here is surprising. Either the message board is an antiquated platform being replaced by facebook, twitter, etc....or they've never experienced a winning team and lost interest.

Trump Uses Emergency Powers to Fix a Problem He Created with Emergency Powers
One of the most common conservative criticisms of government intervention is that it inevitably leads to more intervention down the road. The government steps in to try to fix A, and is therefore required to try also to fix B — B being the consequence of the government’s attempt to fix A. Here, in Politico, is a lovely example of this in action:
The Trump administration is planning to ease fears of a trade war by announcing later Tuesday billions of dollars in aid to farmers hurt by tariffs, according to two sources familiar with the plan.
The administration’s plan will use two commodity support programs in the farm bill, as well as the Agriculture Department’s broad authority to stabilize the agricultural economy during times of turmoil.
Or, put another way: The Trump administration has intervened in the economy, and now, to mitigate the consequences of its intervening in the economy, it’s going to intervene in the economy again. In both cases, the taxpayer loses. He loses in the first instance because tariffs are taxes, and because taxes make goods more expensive. And he loses again when the government takes his money (or borrows it against his kids) and gives it to farmers who are down on their luck because the government elected to intervene. Yes, Minister had this pegged thirty years ago:
Hacker: One of your officials pays farmers to produce surplus food, while on the same floor, the next office is paying them to destroy the surpluses.
EEC Official: That is not true!
Hacker: No?
EEC: He is not in the next office, not even on the same floor!Even worse, both of these actions are being taken not by Congress, but by the executive branch. And even worse than that, they are being taken by the executive using powers that were delegated by Congress for use in emergencies. The laws that accord the president the power to impose tariffs without legislative approval are the the Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917, which requires the U.S. to be at war at least somewhere in the world; the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977, which requires there to be a “national emergency”; the Trade Act of 1974, which requires either that the executive considers there to be “an adverse impact on national security from imports,” or believes a given nation’s behavior to be unfair and in need of an “appropriate and practicable” response; and the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, which allows the executive to “determine the effects on the national security of imports” and to “adjust the imports” if necessary. That President Trump is using these powers so routinely is a problem in and of itself. But that he is then “fixing” the fallout by, in part, using another set of emergency powers renders the whole affair somewhat farcical. This is decidedly not why these laws are on the books. This is not what the executive branch is for.
This tendency is not limited to Trump, of course. Indeed, this is a problem that has been growing for more than eight decades, and under presidents from both parties. And until Congress grows a spine, it is a problem that will continue to grow. But it’s dismaying to watch the move being cheered on — or, at the very least, permitted — by a Republican-led House and Senate. Should Congress want to, it can easily take these powers back — over a veto if necessary. That this idea seems quaint shows how far we have strayed from the system as designed.

We don't know what the Mueller team has. All we get are little snippets through indictments (mostly Russians) and occasional leaks.

With all the Trump hate, with Mueller on the prowl, so-called journalists in the liberal media and anyone else on the Trump hate-a-thon that can't find any evidence of collusion while berating Trump the last two years........................... don't you think it should be shut down by now?
The average Independent/Special Counsel investigations since Watergate is about 2 and 1/2 years (904 days). Iran Contra and Whitewater took much longer despite calls for the investigation to be wrapped up by the party of the president in office. If they wrap this up before the midterms it would be quick.

He looks fine.
The only thing worthy of note is his apparent hypocrisy in regards to taking his lifestyle and selling it to others as the greatest thing ever. Clearly there are better methods than the TB12 in regards to getting fit.
The longer he goes in this league the workout routine will go from being mocked to mainstream for QB's.

He definitely has a better shot at six Superbowls than a six pack.

Not true the last team name change was the minor league baseball team. They are now the New Orleans Baby Cakes and it is awesome!!
I voted for the Rougarou for the basketball team. The Pelicans were an old New Orleans baseball team. Benson wanted that name. Now, there is a boxing champ from here using the Rougarou nickname and he even wears the werewolf mask. I love it!!
That doesn't raise my level of confidence. It weakens it.

Last time a team in New Orleans changed their name they chose the Pelicans so I'd be careful in getting rid of the name. I don't want to play the New Orleans Flamingoes.

I follow the Rasmussen survey because it is currently the only presidential approval daily tracking poll, and because its consistent methodology makes it a good trend barometer. The Rasmussen poll–also significant because it samples likely voters–finds an almost imperceptible hit to President Trump’s approval as a result of the Helsinki hysteria, which already seems to be more or less over.
People made their mind up on Trump six months before the election and there's very few people he can sway. His approval rating will remain static even if he solves world hunger or kills children at the border.

Ultimately everyone lives with the choices they make despite the list of factors. I don't want to waste my life blaming the cards I have been dealt. Have to make it work regardless.
The interesting question is would you have the same mindset if you were dealt a different hand of cards. Impossible to say.

If I see Prisco in public I'm going to give him a peace of my mind. I'll tell you that much.

I have been saying for 2 yrs Kanye will run for president and be successful.
Could you imagine a debate with Kanye against Warren, Chelsea Clinton, Kamala Harris or other women???
Definitely. I could see him interrupting and saying, "Imma let you finish crooked Chelsea, but Kanye just had the greatest solution to the Israel Palestine conflict of all time."

Hey Trump haters.......... and you know who you are..................
Instead of this constant obsession about bashing Trump, how about beating him at the polls in 2020 and get him out of office so you won't have to complain about him for another four years in 2020.
Do you have a candidate that can even remotely challenge Trump in 2020? Because you will continue to be off your rockers if you don't.
Your constant bitching and moaning and obsessive hate will only guarantee Trump's re-election in 2020 and you stupid @#$%'s don't even realize it.
Grow a backbone and vote out Trump in 2020, because your complaining is becoming completely transparent and no one listens.
I made the joke after Trump won that Democrats should run Kanye West (I assumed he was a Democrat given his George Bush comments) in 2020. He's the black Donald Trump with his over sized ego, superb self marketing skills, nonsense twitter rants, and loyal following.
He could go to rallies and claim Harris is really from Wakanda, Warren had a sex change operation after pitching for the Cleveland Indians in the 80's, and that Booker killed Biggie and Tupac and still have all of them endorse him when he won the nomination.
I never took into account that him and Trump were friends though given their similarities so I guess we'll just have to pick the least crazy candidate out of the 30 or so that are thinking about running.

I disagree. He turned down a very decent multi year offer from the Ravens (deal was apparently for 3 years around 21 million). He's banking on a one year prove it deal to make more dough down the line. The problem is he's 29, lost a step, and comes with his baggage. I don't want whatever QB we have to be feel pressured to get Dez the ball.
