  1. He’s got the leg to flip the field but he doesn’t have the finesse to accurately drop it into a tight window and avoid touchbacks. Maybe that will come with time, but he’s still got work ahead of him on that. I don’t think he wanted to come back to Buffalo either after the whole mess. Especially if he had other options, which clearly he did.
  2. Yeah I wouldn’t bet it either way either, but I’ll at least take it into consideration for risk/reward analysis and make sure to be positioned comfortably in case the worst.
  3. I'm not sure why the y-axis is getting cut off on this chart, but it shows the spread between the 2 year and 10 year Treasury yield curves. The solid line just below the dotted line is 0. The spread has been inverted (negative) for over two years now. An inverted yield curve is often cited as an important recession indicator and has historically held up to that expectation. The problem is, the inversion has been dismissed by a lot in the finance field as a "not this time" type of situation because of how long it has been inverted yet no (official) recession has happened. The danger in that thinking is the curve inverting is not the indicator that a recission is about to happen. The real indicator is when the curve snaps back into positive territory quickly, which just happened (5 bps positive right now). It has never been this deeply inverted for this duration before, so it will be very interesting to see how the economy responds over the next few months.
  4. Then why would you cite it as a source to disagree with the lowered expectations for last month's jobs figures. If you believe the analyst's opinions, you could have just made the argument that job creation will get worse in the future instead of try to claim prior month's figures as a "hoax" (and they most likely are wrong by ~25% inflated).
  5. Yes, the article you linked to quoted a Goldman Sachs analyst. The content did not discuss the lowered expectations for the August 2024 jobs report, which is what you were saying was a hoax. The actual jobs report today aligned exactly to the updated expectations of lower results (142k vs 160k) Maybe you linked the wrong article?
  6. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/august-jobs-report-unemployment-rate-falls-to-42-labor-market-adds-142000-jobs-182656446.html Jobs report is out. August expectations were 165k, had 142k actual. Another revision downward for the previous month's report (July originally was 122k but now revised to 89k). The constant revisions of prior reports always downward is concerning.
  7. Or beer dispensing helmets like in Happy Gilmore.
  8. There is literally no opinion on the expectations for today's highly anticipated August 2024 jobs report. The article just gives opinions on how Trump vs Harris economic policies could impact the economy post election. It does mention the Wednesday jobs survey was not positive; an early indicator for what today's report might show.
  9. That Case Keenum commercial was actually pretty good
  10. Well if the defensive coordinator isn’t allowed to call a time out, then why did they just let the defensive coordinator call a time out?
  11. Bad clock management. If that was McD we would be losing our minds.
  12. But they only throw the flag on one of them.
  13. They called illegal formation at least 3 times on the Ravens for being even less obvious about it.
  14. The Chiefs right tackle either jumps every play or get burned/pushed back if he doesn’t.
  15. Sad, hopefully he is okay and recovers. Not much hope for justice being in San Fransisco and all.
  16. That’s sad, RIP. I do have to admit, I thought someone spelled Joe Andreessen wrong again when I first read the title.
  17. Even that Bass extra point looked terrible.
  18. It’s messed up for me and that’s through Spectrum cable.
  19. I only rent cars from Hertz because a famous athlete.
