  1. That is indeed not right. The constitution requires very specific warrants be issued. The government is explicitly not allowed to come into your home, vacuum up anything they want, take it all back to their office, and then sift through the findings.
  2. So nothing about Ertz? What the heck’s going on over at OBD?!!
  3. Just don't copy those tiny plastic seats. Europeans are much smaller people! 😂😂
  4. The math shows that a 1,000 yard fourteen game season translates to a little over 1,200 yards for a seventeen game schedule. I contend that if they use Singletary like we saw at the end of last year (more like a Thurman Thomas role) he could indeed hit that mark. But…everyone needs to keep in mind that this isn’t baseball. These guys cannot play too many more games without being totally worn out come January.
  5. Thanks for sharing. I’ve often surmised the same thing. The problem isn’t going to be ‘climate change’. The problem is going to be a flat out energy shortage. I’m certainly no expert in the field but I always thought they should’ve invested way more research into nuclear.
  6. Ha! Do you have a passport? Ever held one in your hand? It is NOTHING like a piece of paper. This is yet another reason why Trump’s lawyers needed to be there when this seizure was being conducted. And believe me you’ll be demanding the same representation if it ever happens to you!
  7. I think you misunderstood my response. I am not at all shocked that a money making school is trying to …make money. The problem isn’t the school! The root cause of this is the access to cheap money. The government keeps getting burned by this brand of empathetic thinking time and time again. It’s what eventually resulted in a the housing mortgage crisis.
  8. When you see that short list laid out that way…. the Browns are idiots!
  9. I actually find this interesting. I would have thought the Bills would be one of the younger teams but I guess they’ve evolved over the last couple of years. It means to me that the the Front Office is going to have their work cut out for them going forward. Lots a cap space juggling ahead and definitely time to start hitting big time with draft picks.
  10. Someone else already answered but, yes. Once again the biggest challenge is rain. There’ll be a significant gutter system to capture and direct runoff.
  11. Simple: The roof doesn’t slope towards the interior of the stadium. It slopes towards the perimeter. Remember that the bigger problem is rain, not snow. If you don’t want the snow sliding into the spectators, you definitely don’t want rain ‘sliding’ off. Trust me, it won’t be a problem. 👍
  12. Thanks for sharing these images. They’re a great representation of what can be done these days. Populous is known for some pretty contemporary design work. I’m guessing this will not be your grandmother’s stadium.
  13. So here’s the part that I found hilarious….which I heard on the Today Show this morning. Apparently the Keystone Cops who conducted the raid scooped up everything in a desk drawer, including his expired passports. They ‘claim’ those were taken because they were in the same drawer as some of these secret documents. So, they mean to tell us that these nitwits can’t tell the difference between a passport and a piece of paper? Really? Were they supposedly in some sort of a big hurry? Why exactly? They took NINE HOURS to go through things. Were they afraid the homeowner was going to burst in on them? Sounds an awful like an illegal search and seizure to me. Ham handed nonsense.
  14. They ‘target’ the specifically? Everyone targets everyone. Do you think Mastercard isn’t targeting you with their commercials offering cash rewards? Everything isn’t about the inner city! It’s just not.
  15. You touched on it up above. If the government wants to reduce the cost of college then subsidize or reduce the cost of PUBLIC universities and colleges. This is exactly what’s done with K12 education. It makes literally zero sense to forgive selective loans.
  16. You and I aren’t far off. Where I differ is if you want the government to pay for things then it has to be on a go forward basis. Those that took out loans knew that they were taking them. Why not just refinance the terms to a lower interest rate or a longer term? Better lessons will be learned!
  17. Thanks Chef! I’m having a blast. I now get to do what I want to do and only when I want do it. May be heading out your way for the weekend. A few days in the pool sounds great! 😎
  18. So many people (fans) grade a player on what they see during the games, but the coaches see these guys in meetings, practice, and the locker room. I’m guessing Howard hasn’t impressed anyone in any of those off field venues.
  19. I couldn’t agree more, but my comment was regarding whether a punter (wealthy or not) would be interested in spending the Fall months in Western New York if it meant a decent shot at bringing home a Ring in February. I’m guessing that any punter would. It’s not playing running back or offensive line.
  20. Sure! That’s exactly what the nuclear codes look like. They’re on a piece of paper marked Top Secret just like in a Mel Brooks spy movie.
  21. The lure of a super bowl ring is like the proverbial siren’s song.
  22. Chef…please. Every solution everyone proposes causes you to answer with the same thing….’so what’s your solution’. If you believe you know the answer just tell us already!!!! (By the way, your linked article pretty much says what everyone on here, including myself, have already been saying.)
  23. And in the meantime he’s going to work at the local car wash? It’ll be interesting to see how long the love for his ‘family’ lasts. 😉
  24. What is anything worth? Answer: What people are willing to pay for it. Which is why paying off these loans is such a ridiculous idea. All it will do is artificially raise the price of what people are “willing to pay”….because in fact THEY aren’t paying. Think I’m wrong? I dare you to go to any conference trade show and watch the people stroll the convention floor aisles scooping up swag items from each and every booth they pass. Within the hour they’ll have a tote bag filled to the brim. But, 99% of those people will leave that full bag in the hotel room before they leave for home. Why? Because within less than a day they’ve realized it’s all a bunch of free nonsense that isn’t worth hauling around.
  25. Have we gotten to the small incursion yet? Heck it’s only been SIX MONTHS!
