JaMarcus Russell had the potential to be a good passer too. The mere thought of Richardson going 1st is insanity. The dude was average at best in college, and well below average when they played power 5 competition. He has the potential, but who trades that haul for a guy who MAY be good, or equally could be the worst QB taken in the 1st round. It has to be Stroud or Young, and Stroud scares me too. He is the best pure QB in the draft but he just doesn't seem to have any fire to him at all.

The total trade package for the 1st pick was 2 1sts, 2 2nds, and Moore. It's simple.

Just grouping up and agreeing not to have contracts like that are colluding all the same. That's the point. You can't have 32 owners get together to discuss contracts between 1 player and 1 team, no matter the players.

Wheezing during his cadence.

Kyle Pitts.

With interest rates at record lows, tons of people bought new(er) houses. More than during typical years. So of course mortgage debt rose. That's just common sense. Not saying everything is rainbows and sunshine because it's not, and inflation IS a major problem. Where exactly did all the "free" money come from?

The student loan forgiveness thing is the dumbest course of action I've seen in a long time. Are the loans predatory? Absolutely. So force the loans to be restructured to a reasonable situation, penalize the loan companies who intentionally caused the problem to enrich themselves, and then pay what you borrowed back with a reasonable interest situation. The penalties should also pay back the loans that are paid in full, but that were forced to pay way more than a reasonable amount. No student loan for $50K should take $120K to pay back. I was lucky enough to pay mine and my wife's off within 5-6 years of graduation, but we sacrificed a lot in order to do that. The loan forgiveness is just students and the loan companies benefitting from their dumb decisions, while the country eats it.

The "career" lifestyle was incentivized as well. It was a cheap way to buy votes. And everyone point fingers at the "welfare queen" Democrats, but it's a problem that both sides have taken advantage of for years. No one has the balls to restructure because it WILL cost them votes. There is no simple answer to solve all the problems, but we have to start heading that direction somehow.

I think most "welfare" programs need reigned in, but I don't care who they are benefitting more when saying it. I believe our country should provide some kind of safety net for people who fall on hard times, but it shouldn't be a career, no matter which side of the aisle is taking advantage of it. These programs have morphed over the years into something they were never intended to be, and both Red and Blue are responsible.

Did you not see the other guy claiming that all the Democratic generations bleeding people dry? Just pointing out that overall, that isn't the case. Ask him where he's going with his false info.

8 of the top 10 states for federal tax deficit are Red. Kentucky takes in $26.6B more per year in federal aid than they pay in. Alabama. Louisiana. Mississippi. All huge deficits.

I don't understand the point "without Chris Jones. " He's probably their 2nd best player. Obviously without him it would be tough. Same with most teams.

Except it was almost half the size, 14 to 8 teams. I wouldn't call either "World Champions" given there were competing leagues.

AFL Champions, not NFL Champions. Cleveland won the NFL Championship in 64. The Bills joined the NFL in 70.

There are plays Allen makes every game that Brady never made in his career. So who is better? Allen is one is the most physically gifted quarterbacks ever, so they're aren't many plays other quarterbacks make that he can't. But that doesn't mean he's as good as them.

Holy crap dude, they are both good, don't need to try to overcompensate here. Your previous OC got hired as a HC and went on to win CotY in year 1, so don't act like Allen doesn't/didn't have good coaches. Mahomes has been top tier the second he stepped on an NFL field. Allen is top tier, but he also has been much more up and down that Mahomes. Coaching and play calling can absolutely have some to do with that, but the player has tons to do with that. Plus, Mahomes has 2 rings. In 5 years. He's better.

China relies way too much on the rest of the world to survive anything of the sort. They would have hundreds of millions of people starve within a year without food imports, a lot of which come from the US. Also, please, what freedoms and liberties have you lost here?

Do you seriously think that people sit around and say "Gee, I wonder how I could prove that people will listen to me? Oh, I know, I get them to wear masks! That'll do it!" Especially on a worldwide scale? Masks help with germ spread. That is why surgeons wear them. Nurses. Drs. Is it a cure all for the situation? Absolutely not. But it can help. It's funny because if we had 50% of people growing their own food to cure world hunger, I swear the other 50% would stand of to the side, do nothing, and then point and say "See, them growing their own food doesn't help, there are still plenty of starving people." People who made no effort to stop the spread are the ones who then turn around and say "See, it doesn't work." I personally know people who went into public KNOWING they had COVID, but just didn't think it mattered. And then laughed when other people caught it. It insanity.

Between 1980 and 2006, 1866 HS athletes died suddenly in the US. This isn't some new phenomenon. The coverage is what changed. The internet. The non stop news cycle. The now political bias. This article is from 2009, so zero to do with Covid. An average of 72 HS athletes per year. It's unfortunate, but it happens. And it's not some giant conspiracy. https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/circulationaha.108.804617

I'm not arguing that people don't need phones. I'm talking about the people who upgrade every 3-6 months and pay thousands of dollars to do so. That was just 1 example as well of people racking up debt. Please, explain to me how credit card debt is SUDDENLY the fault of the president and not the fault of consumers. The previous president holds the current record for cc debt (not blaming him), and cc debt has been trending up for decades. It isn't a sudden problem. Show me where cc debt is tied to inflation. It's been climbing for decades regardless as to what inflation has been doing.

Yes, a lot of places required it. It is their right to do so. It is your right to not work there because of it. Many places require many different things, but for whatever reason this is the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Ok, what is the excuse for the past 24 years then? It has been rising for years. Why, when inflation was low in 2019, was credit card debt the highest on record? If debt increased solely when inflation did, I would agree, but it doesn't. Are SOME people going into debt buying necessities? For sure. But tons more are going into debt buying things and crap they don't NEED. Cars, phones, trips, etc.

Yes. Consumers who spend beyond their means are at fault for spending beyond their means. Now, prices are up. That's pretty simple to know and understand. The current credit card debt isn't even the highest on record. No, that was from the 4th Q of 2019. US credit card debt has doubled since 1999. But it's just now the cost of good causing it, or is it the people spending more than they make?

People spend beyond their means. That has zero reflection on ANY president. Always have to have the "latest and greatest", even when they can't afford it.
