Trump’s L.A. Marines Zip-Tie Veteran in First Ever Detention https://flip.it/QrEI.7 This is all normal in trumps America.

The unintentional hilarity of this post is comedy gold. Sending troops in to arrest people walking peacefully and safely on the beach is "out of context" but sending in troops to arrest those committing criminal acts and trying to prevent another Summer of 2020 is terrible.

Right. As always, a firm grasp on things... You'd think that siding with Hamas was the dumbest they could go...

But stop going to X. You must use reliable sources that participated in this crap.

The Bills were so bad back then. Anyone remember "What the heck, why not Dufek"? 😂

I have seen reports that his final day of mini camp was much better. There are only two candidates to start opposite Benford. They are Hairston and White. They obviously want Hairston to win that battle. We all do. If he doesn't and Tre is healthy then Tre would play.

LOL! What made you believe you were a Repub (if you ever were at all) in the first place? The Dems have always been about "caring for others." I considered myself one until after Obama was elected and saw that racism was on the wane but the Dems were going to try to champion other wacky causes. So I became an Independent.

Meh. They'll be fine and made whole as if it never happened. -Roundy

Should have done this 5 years ago...

When leftists lose power their natural instinctive response is to riot. So much for the sanctity of democracy and the will of the people. In this case they see the plan to seed 3rd world border jumpers supported by government social assistance programs across Congressional voting districts threatened. Add the capacity to call on them when leadership needs street muscle. See current situation. As deportations threaten the plan they grow more desperate. So expect this anarchy to pick up. They will absolutely not give up. How does this all end? Not as they plan with Trump becoming King or the Army hitting the streets in some martial law scenario. Sadly and most likely when Americans have had enough and a few 100 thousand Rittenhouses hit the streets to end it.

The reason the market has been so inflated is because of the RB. Should not have to pay Cook as a top3 RB if he has not proved it yet. He needs to show that he can carry the offense without Josh Allen to be in that range.

AI can do amazing things these days. And I don't need you analyzing my info and going all stalker mode now that you're "retired." And LOL no, life is pretty great right now. Just became medical director of my surgery center and got a nice 32% raise. Finally sold my IL's house and will be getting a nice chunk of change at the end of the month. Older son is about to start clerking for a NCSCJ and we're going down to see him next Saturday. And younger son is home for the year working as an MA while he applies to medical school. Other than that, the insanity of the Dems is over for now and we can hopefully get back to some semblance of normalcy. But they can't seem to let it go...

Good thing we get our Wrs at Goodwill

Maga is white trash

The receiver last year with the 32nd highest productivity (Pickens) got 900 yards in receiving while burning only 103 targets, leaving all the rest of the team's offensive snaps available for other players to be productive in. The RB last year with the 32nd highest productivity (Tyler Allgeier) put up 644 yards, but required 137 attempts to do so, leaving fewer snaps available for others while producing less. I'm not bothering to include pass stats for RBs there, or run yards for WRs. With unlimited time, I'd have done so, but I don't believe that would change the picture all that much. Some, but not all that much. WRs also more directly make life easier for the QB in getting the ball out of his hands on plays when he's back there facing a rush pointed at him. And in the modern NFL, making life easier for your $50M QB is the name of the game. RBs also make life easier for QBs, of course. So does everyone on the team, certainly including the defense. But WRs do it more directly. RBs change the defense's moves formations and reactions and priorities, and that's valuable, but not as valuable. How do we know that? Look at what the league pays each position. You're right that receivers have become more expensive. In the NFL's opinion, there's good reason for that.

No doubt that he needs help, but; society needs more help in getting him off the streets and into a jail cell for a long period of time. Bullets don't have maps or brains and some innocent people will be injured or killed if this violent animal is allowed to roam free.

This is unusual. In most cases, people who commit crimes rarely if ever continue on with criminal behavior.

Which is why snaps/dollars is a part of the argument, not all of it. Touches/production is also part of it. RBs produce far less per touch. So is average length of productive career life, particularly when you're talking about longer contracts for players with shorter expected productivity. So is width of skillset. Cook's inability to pass block hurts him, but not Saquon, who's a bully when protecting his QB. There are more factors involved. You know all this very well. Another good reason why you can't reasonably compare contracts between RBs and WRs, or any other positions, really.

Right. That's why you can't compare RB and WR salaries and doing so will only confuse any issue you're looking at. RBs are considered to be worth less. That's why they're paid less. Gabe was not paid more than Saquon. But yes, more than most RBs. Doesn't mean it was a good contract, obviously that Jax gave to Gabe. Might've looked a lot more reasonable if he hadn't been injured, but we'll never know. But the league finds RBs more fungible than WRs. With a few Saquon-like exceptions. Overall this seems pretty reasonable to most. Paying a guy at a more fungible position more than the league thinks he's worth does not seem like a way to get a competitive advantage. Not all zigging where they zag is good decision-making.

First of all, please never respect my opinions. I thought the internet was just for nerds when it first came out and turned my basement into a bunker for Y2K. Secondly, signing a premium position player in his prime I don't consider going "all in" given it's a four year commitment. The 2021 Rams went "all in" with the Miller and Beckham trades and it worked out for them. We're overpaying for all these mediocre WR's (Palmer, Samuel) for about half the money that don't move the needle much at all. I don't ever recall a time in Bills history where we traded for a 27 year WR with promising production that may have been underutilized in the previous offensive system that also has mixed character reports so I guess it's a risk in that sense. Von Miller was a much bigger risk given his age and it backfired. I just think when you have the opportunity to get an elite player in his prime (which I think Metcalf is) at a premium position you don't think twice and pull the trigger. Hell, the Bengals just did with two WR's around the same ages.

You thought 300 protesters in DC were going to topple the United States. While you were having everyone stay 6 feet apart unless they were protesting racism. Tell us again what a cult is.

Best person to follow on X, but his character is lacking. Do you think Beane sends him Christmas cards for rejecting the trade?
