Wouldn't it make more sense just to relocate the team elsewhere in the United States if the JAX market isn't a viable one? That plan of his is so stupid.

Not entirely sure on that. Based on the news articles about that operation in Michigan, it appears all the children were residents of that area that were declared "missing" by somebody who cared about them enough to call the police.

Have you had to use them? How'd they work?

Crossed my mind reading about the US Marshals operation in Michigan yesterday that found 123 missing children in a single day. They were looking for over 300. I realize children go missing for many reasons but the fact that they were looking for 300 unaccounted for children in one county alone is alarming. I'd think a single missing child is a big deal. Would you support parents having the option of implanting a GPS tracker into their children? The tracker could only be turned on by law enforcement and upon turning 18, the child could have it removed, no questions asked. Would even such an idea work to cut down on human trafficking in the United States? Thoughts? You're clearly trading off freedom for security with the concept.

Amen. It's a dying art. Many schools don't teach shop or home ec anymore. Home Depot had to assemble instructional videos on how to properly use a hammer. The guys here are already more mechanically inclined than say 70% of the population under the age of 40. Looking back, they were probably the two most important classes I ever took in school. Shop taught me fundamentals about tools and repair, which included a section on vehicles. I remember learning how to change wipers, use a jack, what the oil numbers mean, etc. Home Economics taught me basics about cooking, laundry and how a checkbook works.

They are lucky they aren't 0-5 because of that defense. They should be looking for safety or cornerback help because they have some pretty good QBS coming up (Newton, Brees, Goff, Alex Smith and Manning twice) that will cut that secondary off at the knees.

With that guy it's 100 percent mental. You saw effort in that preseason game against Carolina, paycheck collecting since. I don't understand it because he gets a great free agent deal if he plays well this year.

It wouldn't surprise me at all to see Gruden quit after this season, especially if he ends up 2-14. The signs are there. I could see him "transitioning" to GM. Bill Cowher was smart to never come back. The game passes you by and coaching is a young man's game today in the NFL.

I doubt Philadelphia will trade a lot for a running back because they need to infuse their secondary with talent next year. Their defense can't get stops on 3rd down. That secondary has been exposed in every game. They are lucky to not be 1-4 or even 0-5. Falcons and Colts almost had them. The Schwartzian pressure is there but by the time they arrive in the backfield, the ball is out.

There is precedent for this with the successful on-air pairing of Cotton McKnight and Pepper Brooks. 1. The real Christopher Walken and at least two actors who do high quality Walken impressions. 2. William Shatner and Patrick Stewart, which stunning to the NFL hallwalkers, would probably drive ratings up 500%. Haha.

I think if we legalized assisted suicide in the United States, you'd be surprised at how many would opt for it - of all ages.

If the Sanctuary sucks as a base of operations, why not move from the Sanctuary to an area that can grow some crops? They spent an entire season ON A FARM. I didn't understand the trip to Washington at all besides the seeds. I find it hard to believe that the canoe and boat inventory would be destroyed and they already had made a wagon.

The unfortunate thing is he has to constantly be in motivation mode with these players and coaches. If he's on the players and coaches, they come to play Sunday. If he lets off the gas just a little, the concentration and desire lapses.

You can do both. It's not an either/or proposition.

It's more evidence to heap on a mountain of evidence that Juan Castillo needs to be fired. He's the guy in charge of making sure "his" guys know what they are doing. It's clear they don't. These gameday errors are made because of shotty game day prep and a lack of focus and discipline. Considering the OL issues go back to training camp, that suggests it's a systemic disconnect between OC, unit coach and personnel. I don't think the guys on the OL are stupid or not good at football, but it's clear they aren't where they should be and to me, that falls on the teachers.

I wish they'd bring it back. Don't forget the Subaru Brat. ? FWIW the Avalanche and Suburban were built on the same platform. Truck was deceptively useful. Without protrouding wheel wells and the collapsable mid-gate, you could haul absolutely anything.

If I were the Democrats, I'd rather Kavanaugh over Amy Barrett who'd probably be Trump's second pick if Kavanaugh doesn't get the votes. Barrett is a baller who took Feinstein back to school in her confirmation hearing to the appellate court, and besides being female, she has more conservative beliefs than Kavanaugh does - especially on the abortion topic. In hindsight, Democrats probably would have preferred Bork over Kennedy as Kennedy was far more conservative than Bork - who was an originalist and an agnostic.

If video stores were still a thing, a lot of these movies would be straight to the shelves. If Venom were made by the same crew that made Deadpool it'd destroy Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga at the box office. Unfortunately, Venom suffers from the same pre-production issues that plagued the Predator movie. Hunter/Killer is a great movie - with better actors and a better director. Gerard Butler and Nicolas Cage should really do a movie together since they are hellbent on being in every movie ever made.

For me, as a fan, I don't like how the team inconsistently shows up for games. OL not knowing where they should be. Wide receivers who can't concentrate enough to make a catch, etc. I also don't like the team getting its doors blown off in 3 of the 4 games played. Both trends suggest there are issues to be fixed in days leading up to the game.

It's conspicuous by its omission. Without accountability, McDermott's tenure will differ little from Rex Ryan's tenure. Ryan was all about culture and loyalty too, with next to no accountability. Castillo and Robeskie may be great for culture but there are obvious problems with the OL and WR units. The OL persistently looks lost. The WRs have significant problems with concentration and motivation. That falls not just on the players but the coaches entrusted to teach them and get them ready for the games. My hot take is there is significant interpersonal issues between Daboll and the more experienced coaches under him in the "I've been a coach in this league for decades. This guy has no idea what he's doing..." sort of tack and it's percolating down through the players.

In my truck shopping opinion: Stay away from Nissan trucks if you're in the northeast. There isn't a Frontier I've seen in SEPA that isn't rusting. I almost bought a Nissan Frontier myself but I don't think they hold up to the winters and our overzealous DOT salt spreaders. Chevy trucks have a softer ride and come better equipped. If you're going to use your truck for a daily commute on roads or you're going to be having kids in it, might be something to keep in mind. Toyota Tacomas have a stiffer ride. If you are going to be off-roading or participating in a gunfight in Afghanistan, or looking to trade it in after a couple years, might be something to keep in mind. (I've driven F-150s, Rangers, S-10, Silverados, Avalanches, RAMs, Dakotas, Tundras and Tacomas from the 70s to present with personal and work use, test drove the Colorado)

This quote is troublesome. Unit coaches should be teaching, communicating, and making sure things get accomplished. They have to be more than culture change agents. Juan Castillo may be a great "culture" guy but he's a terrible coach managing an underperforming unit and it concerns me that accountability isn't a priority.

I think the OL is talented enough to be more competitive than they've been, yes. Many of their miscues are due to not being where they are suppossed to be. The wide receivers have NFL-level skills. Zay Jones holds the college catch record. Benjamin caught the ball 62% of the time it was thrown to him last year. He showed what he can do when he's focuses in the preseason game against CAR. He's at 33% this year. You aren't in the NFL if you have zero talent catching footballs.

My hot take is you could fire Daboll this morning and it wouldn't change the effectiveness of the offense. I suspect there is a serious disconnect between the OC and unit coaches and that is resulting in the lack of communication, preparation and discipline you're seeing on the field and in practice. The offensive line is plenty talented, they just don't know what they are suppossed to be doing most of the time. The wide receivers lack discipline. Dropped catches aren't from a lack of talent, it's from a lack of awareness, discipline and concentration. I doubt the unit coaches (Castillo or Robeskie) are lazy. I think they aren't great teachers nor motivators and that's a killer combination for this team.

Two primary reasons: 1. Central and the on-demand baking remove the freshness. 2. "Advancements" in food chemistry. The modern Dunkin "Donut" has no less than 30 ingredients. Believe it or not, many of their recipes do not include butter but chemicals that provide the taste of butter.
