    For some reason, I've liked the idea of signing Gordon a lot more once we traded for Diggs. Feels like we are pushing the chips in and an arsenal of Diggs, Brown, Beasley, Knox, Singletary, and Gordon would be pretty impressive. Hopefully a Claypool or Peoples-Jones in the draft as well.

     

    As long as it's no longer than 3 years and equal to or less than $5.5- 6 million AAV, I'd send the jet for him. 

    I like the idea of Gordon as well. If not, what do you think about D.Freeman?

    Looks like 100 reporters have banned together to have the report for the last two days.  How long can something be on the verge.

    He is also the greatest player in the history of football is about to change teams.  Not sure what you expected.  Maybe they should give half of that coverage to the Saints resigning David Onyemata? Or step by step insight on how the Vikings resigned their fullback?

    I expect tv that's not monotonous, boring and repetitive. Unless you are a Pat's, Buc's or Charger fan I don't know how you can't turn the shite off.

    Still in the WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE hair-on-fire dumps, huh?

    Shut down everything!!! Quarantine for  the whole world! Makes total sense to me. :rolleyes: While we are at it, we should outlaw things with higher death rates, like driving, walking (falls) or going to work (workplace injuries).

     

    Sky falling yet again. And once again. A nothing burger. Wonder what it will be next week? Hoax terrorist attack? Perhaps a meteor gonna crush us all? Who knows? Could almost start a pool predicting the next crisis. Every week like fantasy football or a death pool.

    It's stupid... Enviro do gooders doing more harm.  As usual, the road to hell is paved with good intentions:

     

    It will hurt the environment even more:

    My 84 year old MiL is fit to be tied... She never bought garbage bags in her life... Always reuses, repurposes... She throws out her garbage daily in one bag.  Most people will now by thicker bags, worse for the environment... All because a few slobs can't take care of their mess and do gooder enviros think they gotta be helicopter parents with the earth...

     

    I save them too... I will just bring her a year's supply.

     

    There is a person who uses them to make sleeping mats for the homeless... The ban is squeezing them out:

    Like everything w/Greens... It's a $$$$ grab that backfires and causes more damage.

    So true. In our business we deal in a lot of tee shirts. By the case (72 pieces). The push for a while was for recycled cardboard boxes. Great right? Makes sense? But not really. The recycled boxes are good for one use only. They are flimsy and you destroy them after you unpack your stuff. 

    On the other hand the new boxes are much tougher and can be reshipped many times. Lots of times you will see multiple UPS labels over each other.

  5. Don't watch too many. Still enjoy Top Chef though.

    We used to really enjoy "The Taste" but that hasn't been on for a few years and of course, Bourdain is gone. What I liked about that show and dislike about most other cooking shows, is the tasting and judging is blind. No bias.

    Fury is a monster but yes I agree he couldn't hang with some of the older heavyweights who had real skill

     

    Fury has skill but would get ripped up by some old school guys

    Speed would be the biggest issue. imho. When I watch the heavies today that seems to be the biggest difference. Defensive skills are not great either. Still fun though. Fury could use some better marketing as well. His entrance music didn't get me hyped up. I thought him getting carried in was funny though.

    Was this boxing or MMA?  Looked like two MMA fighters trying to box.  Meh...

    I don't want to piss on the fight. I always enjoy a big fight card as I did this one. But I wonder what a guy like Larry Holmes or, if he was still alive, Ken Norton would be thinking about these guys? Norton and Holmes a couple levels above as far as skill and boxing ability goes. Despite his size, Fury would be dominated by either one. 

    Still like the fight though.

    The issue, I think, is that the government is forcing private companies to take on customers they may prefer not to take on. 

     

    Private companies know the government that can force them to take on customers who don't fit their business plan/model can also, after the fact, force them to cap their costs and absorb the losses.

     

    If there is a true need to provide high-cost home insurance to high-risk homes, someone or some company will fill that void, or people will stop buying houses in high-risk areas.

     

     

    Exactly.

     

    And when the insurance companies go broke, the government will have to nationalize that industry cause they are so much better at running things

    what makes you think I believe any of you have any impact on the world?  Nothing you say here matters, and I can only imagine the giant impact you all have outside the internet (lol)

    I am as concerned about corona virus as much I was about Sars, Ebola ,Bird Flu, Killer Bees from South America or any other fake disasters(particularly amused by the meteorite/virus combo that's pretty funny) thrown at us to make us run to the loving hands of the state. Which is not at all.  I'm more frightened of people who think abortion is roughly equivalent  to getting a mole removed. Much larger threat than any of this crap they roll out.

    Eh, that's bush league.

     

    I plan on marketing Dr. Koko's miracle cure. Guaranteed to cure the flu, or your money back. Guaranteed!*

     

     

    *Guarantee not guaranteed. No refunds. Caveat emptor.

    Damn I should be thinking bigger like that. You could use those old brown bottles the travelling shysters use to use in the old west with the retro labels on the them. How great would a corona virus version of these be?
