  1. If Beane's the magnificent bastard, wouldn't that make him Erwin Rommel?

    Patton read Rommel's book, and exclaimed after a victory in the desert to the effect "I read your book, you magnificent bastard" ..to Rommel.

     

    So Rommel is the Mag Bastard, Beane is GEN Patton. Yes?

     

    In any event, an awesome trade. Hadn't seen anything like it since the 3-way trade which brought Cornelius Bennett to Bflo.

  2. Hes not my favorite but hes a good option. Id rather pay sammy but at least we aggressively addressed the hole.

     

    So it ends up being:

     

    Sammy, cardale and a 3

     

    For Benjamin, Gaines and a 2

     

    I think the add ons make up for the drop from Sammy to KB

    Sammy is a diva who aspired to the NY-DC-LA-DALLAS markets. There is no amount of money that would have kept him in Bflo. I'm glad we got something for someone we were going to lose anyway.

  3. Congratulations on the house closing. That's a life event.

     

    You can run down to any Walmart, or Target and get an "HD TV antenna." And it doesn't need to be sophisticated or costly.

     

    I used this $9 antenna for six months, no problem. You may have to experiment, point it in different directions.

    Aside: HDTV and "cord cutting" would be a good pinned topic in the Consumer Digest forum.

  4. I'm not paying.

     

    $3.. price is entirely acceptable. But the last thing I need in life is another auto-recurring charge on my credit card.

     

    Caveat: I didn't try the registration process, but I imagine the only option is "bill me until canceled"


    ^^^ This. While digital subscriptions to the BN may or may not work, the demise of the BN is wishful thinking by some posters here.

    Yeah. Warren Buffett/Berkshire Hathaway doesn't own slouch companies.

  5. The protocol phases, for those who don't know it:

    1. Rest and recovery: Until a player returns to the "baseline level of signs and symptoms and neurological examination," only limited stretching and balance activities are recommended. Electronics, social media and team meetings are all to be avoided.
    2. Light aerobic exercise: The NFL recommends 10-20 minutes on a stationary bike or treadmill without resistance training or weight training. The cardiovascular activity is monitored by an athletic trainer to "determine if there are any recurrent concussion signs or symptoms."
    3. Continued aerobic exercise and introduction of strength training: Increased duration and intensity of aerobic exercise with strength training added. An athletic trainer will supervise to watch for recurrent concussions signs or symptoms.
    4. Football specific activities: The cognitive load of playing football will be added and players will participate in non-contact activities for the typical duration of a full practice.
    5. Full football activity/clearance: A player returns to full participation in practice, including contact without restriction.

    Looks like Tyrod did Step 4 today. If concussion symptoms don't return after non-contact practice, he can return to playing.
