Happy Father's Day as well! I woke up this morning and looked outside, and my lawn had just been mowed (and not by me this time)....not a bad way to start the day!

Well, he certainly seemed to be all over the place as far as politics goes. Which isn't surprising because he also appeared to be quite nuts and pretty much a failure at everything he tried. -
O-line pass blocking was above average last year for the Jets. His numbers last year in almost every advanced metric weren't that different than his last year in Green Bay. He'll have a similar year to last year at best.

It was weird. Trump obviously wanted a MAGA "America is Great Again" show. Staging this on his birthday caused a lot of blowback. The parade planners then tacked hard to the Army 250 staging, which was fine, but which gutted the MAGA energy he'd hoped for. So we had a rather overblown - and weird (because Army-centric at the expense of the other services) parade. Maybe he'll deliver the Full Monty at his 80th.

Yep, I stand corrected -
Biden won the popular vote by a wider margin. By the same logic, most Americans thought his border policy and his spending bills were good. The American electoral system presents you with two choices. Most people disagree with significant parts of each presidential candidates agenda (example: explain why Trump voting states also voted for abortion rights). They understand that they are choosing from flawed candidates with flawed agendas, and that's why they seem to see a do-over every two or four years. If only presidential candidates understood this and governed accordingly. But no, they always have to misread their election as a mandate to do something or other that is way too far to the extremes given where most Americans find themselves.

Ok, maybe this is actually Quack.

Thanks. I also think we make a mistake when we start talking about "manifestos." That word implies some kind of coherent political philosophy. The Unabomber (good documentary out about him now)? Oh, he was brilliant but crazy/evil, and he had a real "manifesto." These other killers have rambling jottings of madmen. -
I did make two mistakes above, which I owned up to. You haven't successfully pointed out one since then, though. Again, your argument is about money. How the Bills acquired the guy - whether they paid a draft pick for him - doesn't affect how much the Bills paid. They brought on board contracts they wanted. How they got those contracts is immaterial to arguments over money. How much money they had to pay, that's what mattered. "He wouldn't have gotten a salary of $1M in FA," you say? I see, you've talked to his agent, then, and Cooper himself? I'm sure that must have been quite a talk, you should tell us all about it. The fact is that some FAs get paid far less than they deserve in various situations: Feeling they can prove something in the short time with the new team, or the terms of the original contract mean that the player won't get any more total money with a new large contract than a new small one, for two. The key to the Bills accepting Cooper's money situation wasn't that he was traded rather than being acquired in FA. It was how much money they could get him for. Your argument is a financial one, how much money the Bills should spend on certain positions. Again, we brought in Diggs in a trade. And it was a great move. Re-signing him proved to be a bad one. But spending the money on him in the first place was brilliant. You keep wanting to ignore the wildly productive part of the Diggs story while using the bad part as one of your main bricks. It doesn't work that way in fair arguments. He was here for four years, not one. You're trying to finesse inconvenient facts away. You're arguing that those aren't part of your argument about money, because the McBeane contracts are a bit older or the Bills sent a draft pick to the other team, which means we can ignore that financial move and only talk about the stuff that confirms what you want to say. We get it. But it's not a strong argument. I know. But let's not talk about our outstanding continuous offensive success. Let's talk instead about how cheapness is killing our offense and a lack of skill players at WR and RB is ... is, um ... is a clear failure for this brain trust. Offensive success schmoffensive success.

Expansion beyond 32 teams would be a mistake.

Brah.....weird choice of example to criticize McDermott's mindset. AJ Klein was out there playing MLB - the "QB of the defense". That was Dorian Williams rookie year, when he couldn't figure out his own assignment starting at OLB with Bernard barking in his ear like a seal. Dorian Williams could no more have taken on the MLB role in that game than he could have flapped his arms and flown over the stadium. It would have been a total CF.
