you might be a bit dramatic. also you are likely fooling yourself if you don’t think some extra chips are on the table this year. And that’s a good thing to do.

like not being able to run your backup offense or defense through an effective practice

we did that here too

that they are using a liability loophole to circumvent workmans companies limitations. I don’t know this states rules but say a couple hundred grand cap based on the guys salary - but by backsliding it they are still effectively going after the shop as the shop indemnified the guy but now it’s not subject to the comp caps (is the theory at play)

to be fair, you don’t seem to understand the underlying legal claim either.

but the scope of the penalty is grossly out of balance.

see and I’d argue his investment in IDL indicates he sees value inside. unless I guess he chalks it up to josh being able to escape DT rushes

do you feel that obligation to every stranger on every topic?

“why do we think we are we supposed to respond”

It’s a third round pick. how many of those are stealing jobs? Dudes likely to be a journeyman backup who they will at some point prey can take them to 3-4 wins when tannehill is out for a stretch. He doesn’t get to act like it’s a first round pick to replace him.

bellichek is one of the premiere proponents of the plateau method. Essentially trade back as long as you can while there are multiple guys in the same tier then go get the last one. We’ve talked about it for years with the patriots (going on decades almost). The blessing of late being that they aren’t rating guys particularly well. “oh man - we wanted him too!” I mean, I don’t think it was anything shocking

flip side to that argument if all of them (plus another) flop is that we may have either missed something others saw or… the quote was simply saying if he went with another young guy and none were impact players people might wonder if it’s a weakness in our front office. Quite a few steps to get there but if we got there it’d be fair questioning at least.

its not but using a 1 and two 2s to is like investing the value of a pick in the teens. Having 3 guys the hope would be 1 breaks out to be a solid starter. If we added another pass rusher in the first this year it would be a viable question to ask if we aren’t evaluating the talent well if none of them broke out.

Mononeon with Maurice brown and mike Dillon last weekend was excellent

that said, most shows and comedy dates itself pretty heavily. I couldn’t imagine any shows from the 60s-70s these days and will note we are maybe 10 years removed from perhaps the era of the most gratuitous “shock comedy” that I can think of. last up I will note that for all the “they are killing comedy” tropes, the average person has access to more comedians than ever before - many of which are doing great content even if there are some hot buttons that aren’t being regularly pressed

I’ve noticed editors going far over the deep end with that word. saw a headline the other day “alleged killer sentenced to life” at the end of a trial which clearly ended with a conviction and it bothered me more than it should have.

I’d be a lot happier with “my job is to make the Titans the best team in the league. I’ll help anyone on this team be their absolute best self - including Malik- but I’m sure as hell going to make sure I’m my best self too and earn my job every snap, every practice and every game.”

counter: if he’s been on the trade block, he’s likely tested much of the waters. Free agency a slightly different beast, but surely his agents been talking and no bidding wars have broken out and I’m sure restructures were part of those chats that said, the guy may want to wait til camp and see if an acl pops or simply miss a few sessions this off-season before signing

Well, also I’m primarily a football fan. A Sabres championship would be cool and all but not my primary sport.

We should be so lucky. And not even joking. Let’s hope the guy becomes that valuable!

What about moorman Matty moorman

likewise, at this point next year’s comp picks can be very accurately projected

russia is very topical these days Bruce would have to nearly kill him. It’s risky.

Holder God

because with limited practice time allowed in the CBA and not carrying 3 qbs on game day the backup qb is running the second offense while the kicker/punter/long snapper practice
