It's not just what round but what pick number or slot. Now precedent is picks #33 and #34 are fully guaranteed. Next year #35 may end up guaranteed. And so it goes

It's the precedent it sets. Guaranteed contacts are something the NFL wants to avoid. But like rust, it's creeping it's way in one contact at a time.

Same here. The condo I'm renting this year I could have owned for $180K about 15 years ago.

I picked my seats and I made sure I was in one of the last rows closest to the concourses, which are supposed to be heated. So not only do I have the balcony above me keeping me dry, I'm hoping some of that heat wafts down a few rows. I wanted a f*****' dome but as long as a 5° night game feels more like 30-something with no wind, I'll be happy.

I don't follow the points system but Josh shot 31-over across 3 rounds, and Joe Pavelsky, the tournament winner, shot 6-under.

We have dogs, who like to bark, so a condo won't work. A small house with a yard is ideal. There are some spots along Pleasure Island where the beach erosion is getting awfully close to the condos. The last condo development in Kure before the ferry is one.

We always get a condo in Carolina Beach or Kure Beach. Love that area but homes are $700K+ inland. Wilmington housing was averaging around $250k A few years back. Now it's $300-325K. More but still reasonable. And their airport (ILM) has been exploding with new non-stop routes. I can now fly non-stop from either Boston Logan or Manchester to Wilmington. Daughter lives in Chicago and I can fly non-stop there as well.

Wife and I love Southern NH but 6 months of winter bites. We vacation near Wilmington, NC every year and thought about landing there eventually.

We should all be in the condition Paul and Ringo are when we're in our 80s. I saw Sir Paul at Fenway Park a few years back. 39 song set with no intermission!

Decided to go see Barenaked Ladies/Sugar Ray tonight last minute. They are coming to Buffalo Outer Harbor next week

The NFL also profits from resale. The only thing I can see is teams hating not getting $400 a seat for the Chiefs game that resellers get. But now Ticketmaster offers a "sell now" option. They offer you a profit but not what you night sell for. I wonder if those tickets go back to the teams to resell for those premium prices?

Draught... Drought...

Back in the late 70s I was a volunteer board operator at WBFO. I happened to engineer Tom Constanten's show "Ad Astra Per Asparagus." He was a fellow at UB's music department for a short time. So of course I asked him why the lyric "Truckin' up to Buffalo?" He said because it rhymed with "you got to mellow slow." 😂

The NFL is not WWE. But I wouldn't be surprised if the league "nudges" preferred outcomes.
