With the extra game this year, we could really use a few more roster spots. 53 seems light and would make those decisions easier. NFLPA got screwed, what where they thinking.

Kind of a long post for a backdoor Ertz thread 😁 All kidding aside, Beane, McDermott and staff will have some tough decisions. Hopefully we get a few picks for some of them. Nice work. I too would like to see Sweeney make this team.

I don't care. I know a few Raven fans that think the running QB will flame out.

Make sure you get a beef on weck. Its a Buffalo Staple.

No consequences for their actions. That'll help teach them a lesson. Where was the police in this? Send the bill to the parents....

Update. Thanks for all of your thoughts, ideas & tips. I purchased the car today. I had to find a dealer about 180 miles away (they offered free delivery next week but I went to pickup.) The local dealers all had "Market Adjustments" do to the shortage of this vehicle. I had a TDM coupon (some sort of direct marketing) from the manufacturer. One of the local dealers wouldn't even take it. Other dealers wouldn't even call me back. I'm sure they wanted me show up just to spend 4-6 hours at the dealership. Patience is definitely a virtue. Plus no car payment for 3+ months was nice.

I can't see how Jones doesn't start the year, wasn't he the "most ready" QB in the draft? Newton looks like a shell of himself. He needs to retire or do the Teebow thing and try TE.

How about JA's user ID and password for his bank account right after he signs that enormous contract.

In spite of all it's inaccuracies I always drop the remote for Braveheart. I don't think I've seen that on anyone's list.

My good friend called these movies, "remote droppers". Always thought that fit. Goodfellas to the point I even know the dubbed over cussing, "I thought I told you to go forget your mudda" Empire Strikes Back, Forrest Gump, CaddyShack, Airplane, Naked Gun, Rocky to name a few. Great topic OP.

Roy sits down at his local watering hole to watch a meaningless baseball game. After the 3rd inning Roy noticed a 5-gallon fish tank behind the bar that was ½ filled with 20-dollar bills. Roy inquires with the bartender, who says it’s this month’s contest and it costs $20 to enter. Roy: “What’s the contest?” Bartender: “You have to finish 3 tasks; #1) Drink 20 shots of tequila in 20 minutes #2) Our Rottweiler guard dog has an impacted tooth, you have to pull the tooth #3) Agnes our renter upstairs, she’s 80 with the big C, you need to give her one last ***** before her time expires.” Roy: “That’s ridiculous, I’ll pass” After 2 more beers and 4 boring innings of baseball, Roy slaps his $20 down on the bar. He states, “This will be fun”. The bartender pours the 20 shots. Roy proudly gets them down in 18 minutes. Roy stumbles out to the patio where the 110 lb Rottweiler is tied up. After 20 minutes of a continuous ruckus consisting of screaming, barking, howling, whining, and wailing and what not. Roy stumbles back into the bar, his clothes in tatters, bloody, missy his left pinky and asks: “Now, where is the old lady with the sore tooth?”

I am little removed from the day to day activities for discount brokerage. I wonder how they are allocating any shares they manage to get? Robinhood's website is vague on the description of allocation. Shocking! I don't think I've posted this. Discount/Zero commission brokers make money by receiving "payment for order flow". The man behind this wonderful idea. None other than Bernie Madoff. He actually had a very profitable market making business for a very long time.

This is the spread sheet I had mentioned earlier. Near the bottom you will see food, sites and other items with web links attached. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1F9yhWkCZkeTFX_6yagiiwCPu-JUnhBAxuPILxW8U438/edit I'm going home in mid July for 10 days and will hit quite of few of these. Can't wait!

This topic comes up quite a bit. Someone put together a spread sheet for game day and it includes places to visit. I am terrible at using the search function, maybe someone else can post it. Another staple is Mighty Taco, I never miss it when I go home. Make sure you visit a good Italian restaurant (if you like it) as these seem different at home than anywhere else (my choices are Chef's, Ilio's or Mulberry Italian Ristorante). Have fun.

10 pages and not one Flat Earther admitter??? LIARS! My big one: 1) How is Amazon ever going to make it selling books? What a stupid business model!

There is a funny story online of 5440 opening for Hootie and the Blowfish where 5440 played "I go Blind" and Hootie's road manager almost kicked 5440 off the stage for covering a Hootie song in their set. He had no idea Hootie had covered the song from them.....

Trevor's new wife is yummy

I feel like Levi Wallace is ok but an upgrade could walk into the building and be a starter, so I'm in for CB as the 1st pick, especially Newsome.

I'm a big believer in that we humans rely on computers/tech for just about everything. Driving might be the last thing I give up to a chip. Update my good friend (using an auto broker) got his new ILX delivered to his front door, $1400 under sticker and he never talked to this dealer.

When he ran a sub 4.40 40 at his pro day the days of him making it to 30 evaporated. Need to go get him in the low 20s.

Agreed that you have to find a dealer that is willing to make a little less and make it up on volume. With the world coming out of covid and all the free government cash, I feel there are less of these dealers. Fingers crossed I'm wrong. My broker hinted that this could be an issue. Similar to a housing bubble, you make a nice profit when you sell, but good luck finding a new one....

I've leased in the past. I prefer to own that way I build some equity. If you buy the right vehicle at the right price the depreciation curve will not "kill you" and it can be cheaper than leasing. Last 2 cars: New car Paid 30k and sold it for 21k after 40 months = $225 per month Used car Paid 26k sold it for 24.9 after 16 months = $61 per month No car = 0 per month 😁

Update. I spoke with the Auto Broker and he said the car I want is in high demand and he couldn't do much better than dealers. So I then began bitching to a buddy of mine who called the broker and he's getting a new Acura ILX under invoice. I'm sure the the broker made a few hundred on that deal but well worth it. I will go back to the drawing board. There is a local car in the wrong color with out the options so we'll see if they want to sell it... Its a Challenger.

I just detest the entire experience of the showroom and the pushy sales people. For better or worse, my wife actually enjoys “the game” of it all. Otherwise she seems to be fairly well balanced mentally. She sees the negations as “sport” and is quick to get up and walk out until someone caves for her. @AugieI mean its 2021. Can't this process be fixed. Carvana and Carmax etc have the idea, they just need a way to get new cars. Plus 4 or 5 hours in a dealership is just a big waste of time... Really think I'm going to talk to my brother in law's auto broker. He said they deliver the car to your house/work and I just sign the papers. That's easily worth a few hundred bucks. I sold it to Carvana. We are currently a 1 vehicle house which is fine because I work from home 80% of the time.
