Big test for our new D if true

Yes and no. That number is the 51 largest contracts. It doesn’t reflect the 53 players who will actually make the team, nor the $4 mill+ space we need for the practice squad, plus room anyone who ends up on the IR. It also doesn’t reflect the increase in dead cap for the players the Bills will be cutting. It’s a frustrating number and why I started this thread. The Bills situation is even more complicated because of Hoecht and Ogunjobi’s suspensions.

Why not the Today Show?

Oh no!!

Huh? Trumps entire thing has been decoupling from China through tariffs. Now he’s giving up.

Evidently, that was just a rumor.

It’s always difficult to figure out what he means. I’m unclear on how he can constitutionally do this through the executive office. It also follows, economically, that this will create scarcity if production does not ramp up.

Nixon issued an executive order in August 1971 suspending the convertibility of the US dollar into gold ending the post-WW2 Breton Woods agreement which ushered in the current US dollar reserve fiat monetary system the world has been operating under for the last 54 years. I'd say that's the most impactful executive order in the history of the country. It's debatable whether any piece of legislation ever authorized through Congress has had such an impact. The entire world exists as it does today because of this EO.

I'm good with getting the Bengals early in the season. They typically stumble out of the gate.

Bengals at Bills Sunday night home opener rumours

Well, there goes my pharma stocks....Thanks donnie the commie. Dems supported negotiating lower prices through Medicare's bargaining power. R's voted it down every time. If the entire medicare population obtained lower prices, it would spill over to the private sector as it does for other health care costs. Medicare is the bellweather. PBM's could be reigned in. Or even better, wee could go single payer. Get rid of all the profit and waste in the private system. Have a national formulary and national algorithms for approving and reimbursing care. Get rid of CEO's making multi millions from your illnesses. Get rid of profit driven bean counters telling doctors how to practice. Stop driving people into bankruptcy because they develop cancer. At a minimum, make PBM's and insurance co's liable for bad outcomes when they refuse to cover care. Thet're currently protected from malpractice suits. Instead he price controls and tanks my stocks. f him.

Isn’t it still on?

Everybody's working for the weekend Everybody wants a new romance Everybody's goin' off the deep end Everybody needs a second chance, oh You want a piece of my heart You better start from the start You wanna be in the show Come on baby let's go

Good point if Christmas is the final regular season home game. What does the AFC get this year 8 or 9 home games?

yeah what a joke. pls Josh no.

Not only that, but it was never "$8M/yr". The first year was a prove-it year where he only made a few mil because he was already over 30 years old. This year he is set to make $13M (as a 31 yr old RB), and Baltimore is now collectively the highest spending team at the RB position. So good teams do spend on RBs. And contracts in the teens are not out of norm. Dang, you guys are DEVIOUS! The best leverage he has is to show up and put up a season just like last year's. If he does, I fully believe Beane will get to his number. The only problem is, if he does put up another good season, his number probably goes up to closer to $17M next year. The tag is definitely in play at that point.

Only reason I do not think it will happen is the Bills are most likely closing on the road week 18 if Xmas is the regular season finale. It is not completely unheard of although rare to open on the road AND close on the road, but my guess is they are home.

Some days won't end ever and some days pass on by I'll be working here forever, at least until I die Damned if you do, damned if you don't I'm supposed to get a raise week, you know damn well I won't Workin' for a livin' (Workin') Workin' for a livin' (Workin') Workin' for a livin', livin' and workin' I'm taking what they're giving 'cause I'm workin' for a livin'

I go back and forth on whether I view this as “price controls” It certainly blurs the line. Any Republican just gobbling this up without hesitation is probably doing so as a cheerleader rather based on any serious contemplation of how this will work. It’s also in line with his whole “we’re getting ripped off tariff” talking point where he’s now wanting pharma companies to raise prices elsewhere to make up for lowering prices in America.. because he is correct on that point - Pharma companies are ripping Americans off to subsidize lower drug costs around the globe. Price controls vs supply and demand doesn’t truly apply here given we’re held hostage by being a wealthy nation that is forced to pay these prices due to their not being competition in this space via a global marketplace.

Just a guess but I think the Bills open up on the road this year. Last year they opened at home against the Cardinals. Next year is the first year at the new stadium. You know how the NFL likes to make a big deal about everything. I think they put the new stadium in the spotlight week 1 of the 2026 season. If the Bills don't win the Super Bowl and play the 1st Thursday night game, then they will get week 1 at home on SNF or MNF so the 1st game in the new stadium gets national exposure. I don't know if the league will have the Bills open at home 3 straight years which is why I think this year they open on the road.

What happened to AMERICA FIRST NO MORE CHINA Did Trump give up already?
