AP is a good choice at 7 overall right now, but I think in a decade people will be singing a different tune…

A Very Consequential Two Weeks for Donald Trump’s Presidency. SALENA ZITO FTA: “In the past 12 days, some of the most consequential decisions in American history, those that will affect generations and leave a substantial impact on our culture, economy and political alignment, have been made either by President Donald Trump or because of him. But they have been largely either downplayed or not fully analyzed in terms of how they all connect.” The U.S. Steel deal between the iconic American company and Nippon Steel happened because of Trump's ability to apply pressure through negotiations that sometimes bewildered everyone involved. But they led to the literal reversal of fortune of an industry, from the additional supply industries that include mechanics, construction workers, transportation systems such as railways, and energy. The 50% tariffs Trump announced the day he visited the U.S. Steel plant in West Mifflin were also seen by American manufacturers as a signal that Trump was committed to revitalizing American steel mills. It also signaled an overall mandate to reshore manufacturing in the country. While much of Wall Street warned that the tariffs would cause a widespread recession, a former critic of the tariffs, Torsten Slok, chief economist at Apollo Global Management, did an about-face and wondered if Trump outsmarted everyone, laying out a scenario that keeps tariffs well below Trump's most aggressive rates long enough to ease uncertainty. That a steelworker or a welder working for a defense contractor would watch what happened to Iran's nuclear program and feel a part of it is a nuance in American journalism that is often missed. Sen. David McCormick (R-Pa.) told the Washington Examiner that it is an integrated story, both in terms of the consequences of those decisions, bolstering our economic capability and our independence. "But it's a confidence in leadership story too," McCormick said. McCormick, who took office in January after winning against an entrenched Democrat few thought he could defeat, said the nuance of how intertwined moments such as these are is often missed. "These are reinforcing themes," he said. https://hotair.com/salena-zito/2025/07/05/a-very-consequential-two-weeks-for-donald-trumps-presidency-n3804482

Never like that is it cheapened the record. If sacks were counted before 1982 Deacon Jones would have the record with 26 sacks in 1967 (in 14 games).

Urb is a middle name. Honest is the first name.

You might need X to see all the comments but the poster moves the goal posts from "suggesting" to " no one was actually put on one" when they were shown all the people, in luding politicians suggesting it. But I am supposed to be worried about Trump being an Autocrat

Yeah I will also admit to having a bias against RB numbers because they are SO reliant on those around them. I was talking about "premium" positions on TSW when the idea really hadn't been established in the NFL vocabulary yet. It's obvious that edge/island positions are more able to impact games with one-on-one dominance and those stats generally reflect more "individual" impact than those accumulated by a RB who needs so many things around them to go right to be great. See 2023 Giants Saquon versus 2024 Eagles Saquon. DE is a premium position. Strahan is the 10th leading sacker all-time. Thomas is the 16th leading rusher. In the postseason Strahan played better than he did in the regular season. Thurman in the playoffs was about the same player he was on any given Sunday, statistically. He had the great SB XXV and the awful XXVIII.

Meh, it’s the same reason Adrian Peterson is remembered so fondly. Those guys were 1 man offenses on teams with much less star power than the 90s Bills. It’s just cannibalism of nostalgia. How many players can the average fan name from those teams

Yeah, it’s the reason why expectations should be tempered for an Elijah Moore. Guys who bounce around multiple teams rarely put it all together on their fourth or fifth stop. Not saying it can’t happen, but it’s unlikely.

It's like writing a book report without even reading the cliff notes though. You caught enough grief though and that's usually the first conclusion people automatically jump too so I get it.

OPEC+ to boost oil production by 548,000 barrels per day in August by Associated Press Eight members of the OPEC+ alliance of oil exporting countries say they will boost production by 548,000 barrels per day in August in a move that could further reduce gas prices this year. The group that includes Saudi Arabia and Russia made the decision at a virtual meeting Saturday. They cited a “steady global economic outlook” and low oil inventories. Oil prices spiked sharply last month during the bloody, 12-day conflict between Israel and Iran but then tumbled back down as the U.S. helped broker a peace deal after dropping bombs on three of Iran’s key nuclear sites. https://apnews.com/article/opec-boosts-oil-production-891365fcd8f487c4d5f4d2dab1868c78?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=share

Those owners can just go eat their tickets when demand falls.

Only if you’re strictly measuring in financial return. A return on investment can also be measured in utility, value, and personal enjoyment. To use a real property appraisal analogy, if you install an in ground pool in your backyard, is that an investment? Probably not unless there’s mass neighborhood conformity. BUT, it is an investment in terms of your family’s use, enjoyment; and memories being created. Same principle for ‘investing’ in PSls and season tickets. There’s a return from the enjoyment.

It's 2025. Everyone is an expert on everything!

Let’s get this thing to 88 pages for baby Knox

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing

May I suggest you stop digging, and step away from the shovel. It wasn’t just referenced in one obscure moment with the press, it has been a topic that has been discussed since the draft. But it’s just fine if you are not aware of it, there are no pop quizzes here. The problem is with sharing your accusatory views without bothering to become informed. Read/listen, then post tends to work better than posting negative stuff and then pleading ignorance, especially after being made aware that you are ill-informed. Of course the civil suit will wait until after he signs his contract. If you were her attorney, or even just a concerned uncle with a functioning brain, that’s what you would advise, right? .

There is currently zero incentive for fiscal responsibility in government. If anyone cuts any program then people freak out and you lose your next election. You get elected by promising to give away more money towards whatever cause, not take away. Why would anyone in government want to do the right thing in that case? It would be political suicide

This is an example of why zoning and building codes are important. The freedom lovers hate them, so you end up with innocent people dying. Texas and every other state needs to review where it allows people to build homes. Flash flood prone areas are especially dangerous as seen here, and in NC last year.
