You probably should give up. Asking specific questions, in this case, asking why I think McDermott would have a .600% winning percentage without Allen is eluding to something. I never once never gave indication that McDermott would be as successful without Allen. Okay, I will ask questions then since it's not assuming or eluding to something. Why do you FireChans, believe that the GOAT Coach would have a .300 winning % without the GOAT QB? Why would he have a .300% winning percentage if he had the Second best QB of all time? I'm not eluding to anything. I'm just asking a question. And great example of using an objective topic for a subjective topic. A firetruck is red because it's red. You don't have to elude to it. It's a fact which makes it objective. How good a coach will be or would be without an elite QB is subjective.

Yes and no. For CBS/Shari Redstone, yes, as it allows her to do what she wants - sell the company by preemptively buying off the regulators. As a matter of public policy, an awful outcome. An outcome that will embolden more stupid lawsuits like Gavin Newsom's very similar one against Trump.

Par for the course during the Biden administration huh? But now it's a cause for concern? Got it.

Assuming the Bills had all the information available to them, I don’t understand why they would draft this guy. Especially in the 1st round. It’s just not worth it to me.

Need more of this, at practice, and apparently on this board...

Describe all of the facts of the case as you know them (hint: the decision by a DA to not press charge on an assault case is not a "fact" of a case, it's the outcome). You already know that (according to DOJ data) of the 310/1000 cases that are reported, only 50 lead to arrest. It's obvious that there often is not enough hard evidence for a DA to charge--they don't want to take anything to trial except slam dunk cases. She reported it to the cops (which less than half of victims do). It didn't go anywhere. If I'm her, I'm absolutely going to wait until the perp comes into some money and then sue--why not? Now she is guaranteed his response, unless he settles before he is deposed/discovery. If he settles then he's guilty. How many times has Watson been charged with assault, despite over 20 women suing him civily for it? That's right, zero---yet we are pretty sure he is guilty of it (because he plays for another team).

My Tacoma is factory tinted.

holy smokes bro. Asking you questions is not assuming you "eluded" to something. "do you think that fire truck is red?" "I NEVER EVEN ALLUDED TO THINKING THAT FIRETRUCK WAS RED." I give up.

Hi Mup- I'm not sure why my note to Fergie prompted this note to me, but I'm glad you shared your thoughs and how you feel. I respect you for fighting for the things you believe in, for things that are important to you, and for helping to guide your daughter through this maze of madness that represents our political process. I am uncertain why people feel I should not do the same, or that I should subvert my opinions or things that are important to me. I recognize that's not the point of your note to me, but I see it here all the time. I was chastised earlier today for my beliefs ironically enough. I agree with your daughter, btw, about concerns about people generally. However, I am completely and irrevocably cynical as to exactly how these bills play out, what really happens at the street level, and which politicians are shilling for what special interests at any given point in time. I'd suggest to my daughter (a recovering empath btw) figure about half of what is published is false, incorrect , deliberately misleading or partially true.

You go to extremes with everything lol. I never said McDermott would be a .600 winning percentage without Josh. Never even eluded to it. I never said that I think McDermott could be the greatest of all time. Never even eluded to it. I also think McDermott would be a mediocre coach without a franchise QB. I think that applies to every head coach. Belicheck is a below average coach without Brady and his record states that. Do you think you're bringing up a unique point or something? Its obvious that the QB is like the Queen on a chess board...it's the most important piece. I don't understand what you're really arguing now because you're adding in assumptions I never made.

I just read the complaint linked in the article in the OP. the gist is he suddenly came into her room uninvited and said he was “high as F,” and then raped her. That is obviously egregious, If true. The common SA cases on college campuses seem to involve both parties being intoxicated and disagreements over consent. That’s not how this one is being framed.

What? In the civil context money IS the justice. That’s literally how it works.

You posted the same article in a different thread. How sad.

You know how I know that Haitians absolutely were with zero doubt eating pets with regularity in a small Ohio town? The absolute freak out by the left/reliable media to demand that you believe it cannot possibly be true. See also: Biden, Joe cheap fakes.

I think it's a giant tick that got under the skin.

I think we should panic. You?

who would have been more of a key player? McD passing on Mahomes AND Watt is fireable.

It's not me trying to be black and white, it's just a question to establish common ground. First of all, McDermott's record without Allen is actually 10-11. Which is .477. But the point is, do you think McD is as good or better of a coach than BB? I don't. I don't even think he's close. I think BB is the greatest coach of all time. I think his mastery of the defensive side of the ball, and his ability to be tactically nuanced (see 2019 SB, among others), as well as strategically (transitioning from a vertical offense to twin TE sets to an offense featuring the slot to a power running team over a 12 year span based on his personnel) is all-time. Now if you don't think BB is the greatest coach ever and you think McDermott could be, that's fine. I disagree. If you think BB is the greatest coach ever and you don't think McDermott is, then I would ask if a MUCH BETTER coach has a basically mediocre record without his incredible QB, why do you think a MUCH WORSE (relatively) coach wouldn't? What does McDermott do to make you think he's a .600+ coach without Josh? Your answer can be "I don't know because we don't know." That's fine. My answer is "McDermott is probably not better than the greatest HC of all time and thus would also probably have a mediocre W/L or worse without his franchise QB." And the reason I make this diversion is because the point I am trying to prove is that "the head coach doesn't matter as much as the QB." It never has. It hasn't with the greatest coach ever, which you agreed with. Brady was the engine for excellence in NE. The second he left, it dried up. When he went to the Bucs, BAM, they are back in the playoffs every year competing for Super Bowls. Peyton missed a season in Indy and they went from a double digit win team to picking first overall. When he went to Denver, they went from a fringe WC team at .500 to winning the division every season. I'm not sure you can find a top 3ish QB whose HC got fired and the franchise crumbled. To my knowledge, its never happened, at least in the modern era. There are lots of examples of teams knocking on the door of contending for Super Bowls who fired their HC or coordinators and that got them over the hump. So in conclusion, I think the odds of firing McD and AT LEAST being in the same stratosphere as we are today is VERY VERY high. I think the odds we win a SB are better than they are now. I think the odds of firing McD and going back to the drought is effectively 0.

more info on this. not good at all. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/02/adp-jobs-report-june-2025.html

This guy is my "next door" congressman, and his words are interesting because if you add up all the actual viplence in OCPS schools outside his district and compare those numbers to the ones inside his district you will quickly realize the conservatives do a great job protecting students. He is right though his area is very dangerous.

I said he will likely hit double digit TDs once more, but that's it.
