Shaq, Ragland, Adolphus were picks Rex wanted I think

If Dawkins can play RT when Glenn is healthy that would be great. I would not trade either.

I wish Whaley could have got along with Saint Doug like trusting him that EJ was not a starter. If Marrone stayed then no Ryan disaster and Schwartz would be here also.

Collins: Senate bill will include property-tax deduction Under Collins's amendment, people who itemize their deductions will be able to deduct up to $10,000 in state and local property taxes. A similar provision was included in the House-passed bill to win over GOP House members from blue states such as New York and California. http://thehill.com/policy/finance/362791-collins-senate-bill-will-include-property-tax-deduction Senate GOP repeals ObamaCare mandate The Senate tax bill must still be reconciled with House legislation that does not include the mandate’s repeal. But that is unlikely to be a major issue given support in the GOP conference for repealing the mandate. Many experts and healthcare groups warn that repeal will destabilize ObamaCare markets, leading to premium increases or insurers simply dropping out of certain areas. Without a financial penalty under the mandate for lacking health coverage, there is less incentive for healthy people to sign up and balance out the costs of the sick http://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/362838-senate-gop-repeals-obamacare-mandate

I can't stand or trust Trump , I still have no problem with Flynn with what is written so far.

The law limits Medicare cuts to 4% of its budget per year, or $25 billion of its $625-billion budget. Because the tax cut proposals the Senate was preparing to vote on late Friday would expand the deficit by about $1.5 trillion over 10 years, it’s likely to trigger the cuts. http://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-hiltzik-gop-social-security-20171130-story.html The budget sequestration in 2013 refers to the automatic spending cuts to United States federal government spending in particular categories of outlays The cuts were split evenly (by dollar amounts, not by percentages) between the defense and non-defense categories https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_budget_sequestration_in_2013 High-ranking Republicans are hinting that, after their tax overhaul, the party intends to look at cutting spending on welfare, entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare, and other parts of the social safety net. House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) said recently that he wants Republicans to focus in 2018 on reducing spending on government programs. Last month, President Trump said welfare reform will “take place right after taxes, very soon, very shortly after taxes.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/12/01/gop-eyes-post-tax-cut-changes-to-welfare-medicare-and-social-security/

Senate passes major tax reform legislation in significant win for Trump administration The U.S. Senate voted just before 2 a.m. ET Saturday to pass a sweeping tax overhaul worth roughly $1.4 trillion, putting the Trump White House a big step closer to its first major legislative victory. The bill is not yet finalized. Saturday's vote means the Senate and House have passed similar tax reform plans, but negotiators from both chambers will start meeting Monday to agree on a single piece of legislation that both chambers must approve before it is sent to the president for his signature. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/12/02/senate-passes-major-tax-reform-package.html

"In his time with the Steelers, Whaley helped scout and draft defensive players such as Lamarr Woodley, Troy Polamalu and Lawrence Timmons." He was good at finding vet players to bring to Buffalo. If I could afford it , heck ya I still like Doug.

As long as Trump will pardon his supporters I don't expect too much from this. I don't know what advantage they would have saying anything to go against Trump .

The more you know the less you know

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said the next vote in the tax debate will come at 11 a.m. Friday, as work continues behind the scenes to win over skeptical deficit hawks and other swing votes. https://www.politico.com/story/2017/11/30/mccain-to-vote-for-gop-tax-bill-270511

White House wanted to publicly shame Tillerson, source says Reports that the White House has a tentative plan to replace Secretary of State Rex Tillerson that emerged Thursday were an effort to express President Donald Trump's deep displeasure and publicly shame his secretary of state, a source with direct knowledge of the White House's thinking said Thursday. The hope from the White House, the source said, is to push out the plan to replace Tillerson and then "wait for him to punch out." And the plan is not just being considered at the staff level, but by the President himself, the source said. His public response to the reports on Thursday signaled no desire to spare his secretary of state -- who still has not denied having called the President a "moron" in private. http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/30/politics/white-house-tillerson/index.html CIA Director Pompeo reportedly tabbed as Secretary of State The candidate for taking over the CIA is Senator Tom Cotton, a Republican from Arkansas, https://www.debka.com/mivzak/cia-director-pompeo-reportedly-tabbed-secretary-state/

The ICBM does not have to land, exploding above ground would knock out the electrical grid.

Tillerson should tell Trump FU and resign. I do think Tillerson is right for Sec of State, even if he won't deny calling Trump a moron.

I remember the 60's Nam violent protests , civil rights riots by guess who , the left, against a democrat then republican POTUS.

Watching Murph , Kim Jones saying Hoodie said Shady could out maneuver 4 guys in a phone booth was nice coming from a HOF coach.

I don't remember the right rallying behind Obama if it's American tradition.

North Korea's new Hwasong-15 missile: What the photos show North Korea has test-fired a brand new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), which experts said shows a major advance in technology and threat. "This isn't just a big missile for North Korea this is a big missile in general," Michael Duitsman, also research associate at CNS, told CNN. "There are not a lot of countries who could build a missile this big and have it work." http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/29/asia/north-korea-hwasong-15-missile/index.html

I hope we can get a good QB without having to trade up a lot of picks.

I want to see how he looks at the combine and his real height and hand size. "Baker Mayfield is short. Lord, is he ever short." His hands are small, much smaller than hands you would expect to throw a football accurately at long distances http://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/17284078/oklahoma-sooners-qb-baker-mayfield-used-defying-critics I don't know if that article is just a joke or not.

The Giants really do need to see if Davis Webb has enough potential to be a starter and be able to trade down to help rebuild. McAdoo is more like Mr MaGoo

"I don't know that [playing the other QBs] will give us all the info, but it's better than nothing," Mara said, per NJ.com. "Obviously, we'll have a high draft pick and there will be QBs available." http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000885229/article/giants-owner-no-guarantees-ben-mcadoos-job-is-safe It would cost a lot of draft picks to move up the next draft . Browns should tell him off the record they will take Rosen so he could go #2 . You can't predict a big trade up especially this year after seeing Goff and Wentz look well worth it. RG3 oops

Andrew Jackson was called ‘Indian killer.’ Trump honored Navajos in front of his portrait. Jackson is known for his harsh treatment of Native Americans as president, famously signing the Indian Removal Act, which led to thousands of Native American deaths as tens of thousands were forced to relocate. Some observers thought the juxtaposition of his portrait during the event with the stated purpose of honoring three Navajo code talkers was strange. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/retropolis/wp/2017/11/28/andrew-jackson-was-called-indian-killer-trump-honored-navajos-in-front-of-his-portrait/

If Eli is released Saint Doug might be interested.

It's a tank job for the next draft. Geno better then Eli Bye McAdoo
