  1. Past hour
  2. I side with the players, not the billionaires.. Congrats Mr. Sanders!!
  3. I swear I’m not Insurrection Barbie When Barack Obama ascended to power in 2008, he promised to unite America. But behind the charisma and soaring rhetoric was a calculated project to move the Democratic Party sharply to the left, not only in policy, but in how truth, loyalty, and dissent were managed. With strategic minds like David Axelrod and Ben Rhodes, Obama’s inner circle weaponized media, cultural institutions, and emotion to create what Rhodes openly called an echo chamber, a self-reinforcing permission structure that conditioned what people believed was acceptable to think. This wasn't persuasion through logic. It was manipulation through emotion. Rhodes and Axelrod understood a core truth about human nature: emotion moves faster than logic……
  4. Pointless unless you have no shame... Found one.
  5. You saw the homeless guy play football???!!?!?
  6. I met Coach Levy a couple of times. No mortal has the ability to look into and understand every corner of another person's soul... but there's zero doubt in my mind (or really, anyone else's) that Marv is a very fine person of great character.
  7. PS Looked up some fun facts: Best all-time QB playoff win %: Bart Starr, 9-1, .900 The only player in NFL history with multiple playoff wins and no losses: FRANK REICH (2-0)
  8. It's only collusion if a critical mass of the agents spoke with each other and agreed to a course of action (or in this case, non-action). The landscape was so obvious that no communication was necessary. The problem created by the first few 2nd round signings was an obvious signal to the players and agents to play the waiting game in order to exert pressure on the clubs. The owners don't want to give up anything but if they do, it'll be over their dead (or dying) fingers. As I posted in another topic, a higher percentage of NFL contracts are guaranteed every year. This is incrementalism at work. Some day, the NFL will not be the only major North American sports league without guaranteed contracts for all players. As to your point, there's a salary cap... whatever more it costs to pay 2nd rounders will simply come out of some other player's pocket. I don't think golden goose is an accurate characterization. This is one of a few existing unresolved areas of the CBA with regards to rookie contracts and like rainwater finding a weakness in the roof, it was inevitably going to be tapped for that extra bit of money that it changes in each contract. This is not a windfall development. It's incremental. Exactly. The percentage of fully-guaranteed contracts in the NFL will continue to increase as it has over the last several years. Considering NFL players have the shortest careers, the largest chance at catastrophic injury, and the largest chance at post-career medical disabilities, their contracts should be fully-guaranteed. Sanders' contract ends up being 94.63% guaranteed. I wouldn't be at all surprised if at this time next year, all 2nd rounders will have fully guaranteed contracts and as @Thurman#1 implies, the next battleground will be the 3rd rounders.
  9. Other differences would be: Mahomes 17-4 playoff record, Allen 7-6; Mahomes 3 Lombardis, Allen 0. Now you can argue that's about KC's defense vs. the McD's defense, but the fact remains that these tip the argument heavily in Mahomes favor for now. I believe the Bills' time is coming and Josh can even the score within a few years.
  10. Possible coup attempt ? Translated text: Unusual report: Al-Julani fled from the capital Damascus along with his family members Translated portion of the accompanying article: "According to reports, Syrian transitional prime minister Ahmad Al-Shara left the country’s capital, Damascus along with his family. At the same time, a military unit entered the Syrian broadcasting and television building in a surprising move, in order to receive supervision over the work of the state station. It is also reported that three senior figures in the Syrian transitional administration were injured in an assassination attack"
  11. Today
  12. The same Douglas that is still a free agent?? He was an extreme liability
  13. The Bills have been fairly lucky...though none of them have turned into a super star (yet). 2024 - Coleman 2023 - Torrence 2022 - Cook 2021. - Boogie Basham 2020 - Epenesa 2019 - Cody Ford 2018 - No pick 2017 - Zay Jones and Deion Dawkins
  14. The question is whether he chose to resign rather than fight to maintain his position. Considering his track record I find it very hard to believe that he's simply doing the honorable thing.
  15. Yeah, it's probably because his stint with the Royals that year didn't count because it wasn't a pro football team, so his name went back in the pool for the NFL Draft. That was ~40 years ago back when the draft was still 12 rounds, so I'm sure the rules were different.
  16. They need actual corroboration and evidence. They wouldn’t show this supposed letter to WH counsel and said it’s not in their possession. The media has completely owned itself over and over trying to take down Trump and if this is the story, seriously f**k the WSJ. They better have more than what is being put out there right now. Im quite sure Trump is a creep who ran in some circles with Epstein, but that doesn’t mean he went after underage girls and any tacit alleging by a media outlet that he did better be a stone cold lock.
  17. So you’re saying the glass is a quarter empty?
  18. Patty Murray Is So Upset the Republicans Voted to Defund Public Broadcasting She Has to Lie About It
  19. Hope the guy is still around for the full four years. Historically 25% of 2d rounders are not with their original team at the 4 year mark.
