    Pakistan has harbored terrorists since the 9/11 days. I just hope this war doesn’t go nuclear. 

    I doubt either of them are that dumb, but I also don't rule out religious fundamentalists from doing insane things.

    Oh, I answered the question: Jews didn’t kill Jesus. You’re the one grasping for ways to validate white supremacists and antisemites in their hatred of Jews.

    Where are you even coming up with this?

     

    The religious leaders of that time submitted him for prosecution because they were pissed off and calling him out on blasphemy among other things. So yeah those dudes were very much responsible.

     

    The Romans were more than happy to oblige for a variety of well documented reasons.

     

    I, nor any sane person, holds Judaism or modern day Jews (or Italians for that matter) accountable for any of that. But that it happened is simple fact. 

     

    You're off your rocker dude.

    Do you have any concept of the scale of the China tariffs? China commerce has ceased 

    No it hasn't.

     

    Do you really think they're just going to stop manufacturing and selling equipment? 

     

    Go ahead and I'll try and order 10 laptops today. I promise you they'll be more expensive than they were 2 months ago, but you can still get them along with pretty much anything else.

    You must be using a different metric for "top 50". 

    For example, you might be using top-50 in receptions. Which is not a good idea, because, for example, an injured top 10 receiver would not be in this list.

    My suggestion? Find a decent list of the top 50 WR's in the NFL. For example, if you want a large survey of the top 50 WR's, here is one. Over 250,000 NFL fans voted in this survey, so the results are likely relevant as it has a large sample set.

    In this survey of a quarter million NFL fans, a little more than a handful of the top 50 WR's were taken round 4 or later.

    Totally agree with that, I let chatGPT create the list so I'm unsure what metrics were used, but I also felt it passed the sniff test/reasonability check It was based upon who was included.

    No. I think that's a very poor criticism. 

    I think it is fair to criticize him for not going after elite WR's in the 1st round. Or trading for an elite WR after Diggs. 

    But criticizing him for not taking a flyer on a middle round WR that has a 5% chance of becoming anything decent is not a valid criticism imo. If you look at the top 50 WR's in the NFL (which is pretty much every single 1st and 2nd WR), only a handful of them were taken after round 3 (or was it 4?). It's a very low success rate at that point. 

    Of course, everyone remembers the outliers like Puka Nacua and Diggs... but for the most part, you better take a WR in the first round or two.

    Looks like of the top 50 active wide receivers in the 2024 season, 50% were first or second round picks. 

     

    18 of them were 4th round or later.

     

    To fully understand the success rate, you would have to compare that list with the total amount of receivers from all of the drafts that included that active top 50, so while you're probably not directionally wrong, there's a decent amount of value to be mined after round 3.

    RFK Jr., FDA unveil 8 harmful dyes that will soon be phased out

    of US food supply — here’s what could be next

    by Ryan King

     

    The dye is cast Eight harmful petroleum-based synthetic dyes will soon be phased out of the American food supply, according to plans unveiled Tuesday by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary. Over the coming months, the FDA will revoke authorization for two synthetic food colorings — Citrus Red No. 2 and Orange B — and collaborate with the food industry to remove six other synthetic dyes. “For the last 50 years, American children have increasingly been living in a toxic soup of synthetic chemicals,” Makary declared during the announcement at HHS Tuesday.

    Fully expecting someone to argue this is somehow a bad thing...

    Those first few games to me are fairly dicey.

     

    Still think he’s a hell of a back and would love to have him, but if he really makes his intentions clear…does he get booed out of Buffalo?

     

    When he undoubtedly makes a big play in the opener…does he get booed?

     

    Hollins and Cook were the 2 guys not named Allen that really gave us something against the Chiefs.

    IMO he deserves his spot if he’ll behave.

     

    Is he worth the headache?

    Is this some kind of long form Haiku?
