Drew Brees reveals right arm 'no longer works'
loedward22 replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall
completely agree. Amputate my arm for the wealth he amassed in his career. Not to mention the glory. -
How's the job search going? Hoping for a quick turnaround for you.

It's just BS. It's just rhetoric used by the politicians that are funded by Big Oil to get oil friendly policies. I mean if energy independence was a true goal then China wouldn't be using our technological discovery--solar power--to build a profitable manufacturing sector off of. Reagan, another oil politician, could have seized on that technology, as Carter rightfully tried doing, to make the United States the leader in the technology we created. China thanks these oil politicians

Whose opinions I would trust, you ask? Select IAEA representatives plus Congressional members of national security and intelligence committees (of all political stripes: left and right, populist and establishment). We should be following Constitution-esque protocols when dealing with imminent nuclear threats. Would you have been comfortable with a senile Joe Biden whimsically and unilaterally bombing, say, Canada over unsubstantiated rumors of imminent nuclear annihilation? Why am I still living here in the United States, you ask?? LOL…um, family and friends, career and culture, the melting pot ethos, a lifetime of cherished memories, the vast natural geographic beauty, representative democracy, the Bill of Rights, the Constitutional separation of powers, etc… What’s wrong with me using the political process to change public policy? Didn’t you try to do the same last November? You are perfectly free to consider yourself an arbiter of what’s “American” and what’s not. Go ahead and declare imperialism and trickle-down economics “American,” while declaring universal health care and nationalized land/natural resources “un-American.” Just remember that at previous points in American history, ideas like slavery and Jim Crow and miscegenation and Gilded Age capitalism and legalized misogyny and the ethnic cleansing of Native Americans were considered sclerotic American values. Yes, your post is a bit opaque to me, but I THINK I’m following: you’re telling me that there are clear standards for defining “imminent” nuclear emergencies like this one, and that you personally know of evidence existing that shows Iran crossed this “imminence” threshold? I’m honestly in no position to tell you that you are incorrect. I’m a civilian biomed device engineer who took one college elective course in intro nuclear science/engineering (random shout-out to the Lamarsh textbook…I still have it in my bookshelf!). All I can tell you, anecdotally, is that my Dad is a solid-state materials physicist and a mild-mannered political centrist. His technical nuclear background is a lot better than mine, and he has DARPA funding under his belt. We talked about this exact topic for a few minutes last night, and he seems to think that the technological likelihood of Iran being able to strike Israel (let alone the U.S.) with nuclear weapons this calendar year is absurd. I feel like we’re going around in tautological circles at this point? Absent new nuclear intelligence information that is made publicly available, let’s agree to disagree. I envisage scenarios in which we’re aligned with what the proper course of action should have been. P.S. My formal business wardrobe ratio of blazer dresses to CHIC pantsuits is officially 4.5. FOUR POINT FIVE. The implication that I might ever wear a frumpy Hillary Clinton warmonger pantsuit was completely out of line. You’re out of your element, Leh-ny, and how dare you.

We don't agree a ton but we are in lock step on this. If I had come to the NFL 4 or 5 years later than I did when it started to have its 00s growth in the UK and I didn't have a reason to root for a team I'd be a Saints fan because of Drew Brees. -

It's also pretty inevitable. -

Tater Tots scene is great as well! -
Energy independence is the insurance policy against blackmail, as happened in Carter's 70's with the emerging belligerence of OPEC. These days, we buy energy and sell energy in the open market using simple business decisions. The backdrop is that we go go it alone, so we can't be as impacted by threats. The problem with the middle east is that the hatreds there have the ability to lead to regional conflagration, and that would be immensely impactful. That's why this is such a once in a lifetime opportunity. Imagine no Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis and Syria not launching weapons into civilian areas of Israel. Imagine Israel able to peacefully coexist with Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon Iran, Saudi Arabia and others. Advanced commerce without constant threat and disruption. All of these assets wasted on trying to kill each other spent my responsible govs on advancing their people.

I like to imagine if I had Josh. I also like to imagine if I had Hailee. -

He could either be a part time realtor right now or a HOF QB with hundreds of millions of dollars at 46. Seems like a very good trade. Where can I sign up? -

Post this on the Ravens Site - it will probably shut down! -

TheWeatherMan replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall
Sad news for sure. A left handed Brees would still be the Bills 3rd best QB all time. Probably my favorite non Bills QB of all time. -
The vibes in Miami are so bad though. GM and HC are dead men walking and it feels like half the org knows it. Tyreek and Jalen Ramsey actively want out. I feel like if they start off 1-2 or 2–3, they will fall apart completely.

I let it slide upon the initial posting but then you had to go off on iceberg. Brought it on yourself at that point. -
I accidentally did it the opposite way (sat on my you know what) and it felt like I was doing it to someone else 😔

Going to get flamed for this but part of me cant figure out if Stevie was ever really a number 1 talent, or just an ok talent disguised as a #1 on bad teams. There is no doubt he was fun to watch, but even in his best years here he had average hands and wasnt explosive by any means. He got open because he and Fitz were playing backyard football, but outside of his time with FItz, he was underwhelming. Sadly, he had one shot with a great quarterback but was hurt for half of the year with the Chargers.
