  1. Just info: https://grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5_ddafc7c2-6a97-43a2-9d49-ec7990d43cbf
  2. good value for a valuable asset
  3. Ty Johnson returning would make this a little more palatable.
  4. Idiot Browns team continues to drive up costs for every other team in the league.
  5. With a better Dline coaching the sky is the limit for him.
  6. What a silly thing to say. Why start a trade war with a country that is an ally, which has a beneficial and reciprocal trade relationship? Outside of energy which the US needs and buys at a market discount (and then refines and resells at a massive profit) Canada actually has a trade deficit with the US. An impressive feat considering that the US has 10x the population of Canada. This was completely unnecessary, especially with Canada. Take auto manufacturing, Canada buys relatively the same amount of vehicles BUILT IN THE USA as they send to the US. Mexico, Japan, South Korea and Germany buy almost no autos built in the US but ship in millions built in their respective countries. The result of tariffing Canadian built autos will be retaliatory tariffs on autos built in the USA, a net loss considering both countries will just buy more from Japan, Korea and Germany which are not tariffed. Not to mention the hit to American brands from the negative perception from a tariff war on a friendly nation. Drive down the street in any city in Canada and you see American businesses and franchises everywhere, pushing down Canadian businesses and sending profits back to America. Walmart, Costco, Home Depot, Best Buy, MacDonalds, Starbucks….etc, etc. Too many to list. Canada and the US are the same market. An argument can be made for tariffs on many, many countries but Canada sure isn't one of them. Trump is totally wrong on this issue. This list is bogus. Its part of a misinformation campaign.
  7. We can do this all day, the point is that Trump is exaggerating and alienating a good trade partner and ally for no good reason. He has surrounded himself with some very nefarious people giving him some very bad advice and I don't think he is smart enough to flush them out. https://grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5_a063d621-a443-4f14-a728-829233cc71b7
  8. From Grok: facts matter. https://grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5_a227b10f-0d7e-4177-b575-51151b2af7f3
  9. It used to be free over the air because it was paid for with the commercials that aired during the games. Now you will have to pay for multiple services just to be able to get the games and watch even MORE commercials. I miss the old days for just about every reason. .
  10. Classy https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/faced-with-probation-revocation-pat-mahomes-sr-admits-john-rocker-squabble-was-staged “Pat Mahomes Sr., the father of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, created a bit of a stir when video emerged of a squabble with former baseball player John Rocker on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. The problem for the elder Mahomes is that he’s currently on probation after a third DWI. The fight arguably violated the terms of his limited freedom. Unless it wasn’t an actual fight. Via TMZ.com, Mahomes Sr. told a court last week that the fight was a staged promotion for an April boxing match with Rocker at Barstool’s Rough N’ Rowdy. The contract, Mahomes Sr. showed the court, was signed on January 17. While it kept Mahomes Sr. out of jail, it exposes the whole thing as a ruse aimed at hyping the fight. Mahomes Sr. is due to make at least $85,000 for the fight. He could get more depending on the pay-per-view numbers. And the phony fight on Bourbon Street was part of the effort to bump the numbers. If the fake altercation didn’t present Mahomes with the prospect of real incarceration, the official word would still be that the falsified confrontation was legitimate and genuine.“
