I'm going to avoid discussing Robert Reich, who is another political/academic careerist who has never had a real job in industry, other than to point out that the link to his missive seems woefully negligent in a couple issues. First, it claims :18% increases over a decade. That figure would be well below existing Fed inflation goals. Second, he seems completely unaware of recent developments in electricity production in our innovative private sector. Every week new deals are announced using developing technology to provide on location electrical power. No combustion. Extremely clean. Almost no water requirements. No storage requirement. Not reliant on weather conditions. Most importantly, economically competitive and with no reliance on the weakness of the current delivery system, the grid, managed by public utility folks. When you produce it at the site, you don't care about the grid. Additionally, relatively large scale capacities can be in place in 90 days, not years of public fighting over new utility plants. A certain energy producer that I won't mention has just concluded agreements with Oracle, American Electrical Power, Equinex and Quanta Computing, as well as having scores of existing, producing units at many Fortune 500 companies. Robert Reich might exit the faculty lounge and find out what's going on, not that he ever has. Solar and wind on any scale take up huge amounts of space and are ugly and often dangerous to various flying things. Domestic solar succeeds to some extent because it is subsidized by the taxpayer. When I had this house built, I fully intended to use it. My garage is good size, and perfectly suited for it: roof faces true south and is of the proper slope for this latitude. It has simply never made economic sense.

NFL Players in Hot Water for Scalping SB Tix
Kirby Jackson replied to ChevyVanMiller's topic in The Stadium Wall
Every NFL player gets a pair of Super Bowl tickets. Every NFL team gets an allotment of a few hundred. It was 650ish last year. The participating teams get 4k or 5k. It used to be 2x or 3x that a few years back. When the Bills used to go back in the day it was WAY more. Long story short, if the Bills go back, people shouldn’t plan on winning their tickets through the season ticket holder lottery like the old days. You’ll have to buy them on the secondary market or have a connection within the league or team. The average price on the secondary market has been about $7500 over the last few years. If the Bills go, especially against a team with a real fan base, like Philly, we should plan on that being higher. If it is a team without fans, like the Rams, the prices will be lower. -
Shows that if you turn up, learn the playbook, work your tail off, be a good teammate and have some level of ability you will stay near the top of teams' "break glass in case of emergency" lists. He has earned about $1.5m doing it. That isn't live forever money but it is enough to keep chasing your dream if you are sensible with it.

They brought in Tyler Lockett, maybe he has something left? Van Jefferson did have one season in his career where he produced, maybe he can repeat? Okonkwo is a reasonable TE for a rookie to have. They then have Tyjee Spears and Pollard out the backfield, both reasonable receivers. Add the rookies they drafted in Elic Ayomanor and D I K E from the Gators, managed to acquire Restrepo in the UFA class who many wanted the Bills to draft… Not entirely awful. Not entirely great either. We’ll see what Ward is truly all about.

Same here. Maaaan he simply wasn't a worker. And someone here did mention that the NFL didn't figure out Gabe yet. Once they did, yeah, it was over.

Remember he played OLB for Bills when he was first drafted. He didn't move to inside until after they traded for Biscuit later during his rookie year. He slowed down considerably as the pounding took its toll. He only played two full seasons out of 9 (6 with Bills), missing time due to injuries in all the other seasons of his career. -
This guy's story must be amazing. He's about to turn 29, is working on his 8th year of pro ball, has played 15 NFL games with 9 receptions. Somehow he's able to keep grinding out chances, but for some reason no one seems willing to make an actual commitment to him. The dedication he has to being a pro ball player must be insane. Multiple generations of 1rst round WRs have come in and washed out of the league since he showed up. Give me an episode of "A Football Life" on a guy like this.

My God. The Democrat party might really be done. They have literally nothing.
-
Nothing is long term on any of the WR's. Which is why they signed Deon Cain and tried out Justyn Ross. They just need some bodies to get through a little bit of time in Training Camp, so they aren't overworking the WR's they have. Gabe Davis isn't someone you bring in for that and he wouldn't sign on for that role.

RIP Ryno. I'm sure Harry Carey will meet ya at the gate with a ice cold Budweiser! Great Player

Wasn’t specified… which head? 🤷🏻 -
Correct...1-2 yr players make 13k minimum/week. Veteran PS players make 22k maximum for 2025.
-
It's a bit sad to see his trajectory since the 4TD / 201 yd KC game...I really thought he would become a legit WR2 for the Bills
-
you sound like a MAGA; so I’ll leave it at that.
-
Dang, RIP
-
can't they fashion an artificial bladder to replace his? I thought they did that for Keith Richards' wife.

Most of what I read has JP Losman as not only a totally class act but bonafide football savant. He is in coaching now. Not to say he was low character here, but I don’t recall him being held in high regard over character at the time. Perhaps one of the best examples of what could have been from the drought era.

In his prime Conlan was a pretty classic run-stopping, stack and shed linebacker but he was by no means a liability in the passing game. Besides good recognition skills he could definitely run. While at Penn State he ran a 4.5 forty.
