  1. Four of the five within the margin of error. My guess is when all is said and done it's going to be a toss up like the last two elections. I don't think either side will accept the results anyways.
  2. Both. The weakening of the US dollar is overblown. It remains close to a 10 year high versus currencies of countries with which the U.S. trades. It remains the primary currency used for trade and financial transactions in the world economy. There's not really any other viable reserve currency alternatives.
  3. Gold's a really crappy investment too compared to real estate or stocks (index funds/etf's that track the major indexes).
  4. If I was worried the US dollar collapsing and Bitcoin taking over I'd still rather invest in real estate and stocks. If I was worried about the government collapsing I'd invest in guns and canned food. Once I can easily pay for goods, services, and pay my taxes with Bitcoin I'd be interested.
  5. Brady lost 30 million through FTX so it's not all bad. Just stay away from it.
  6. They already did last year guaranteeing him 210.6 million over the next four seasons. ('23 through '26). The Bills could follow a similar blueprint. https://www.nfl.com/news/chiefs-qb-patrick-mahomes-agrees-to-terms-on-restructured-contract
  7. Which is hilarious. Love had a stretch of games that Tua never had and has a higher ceiling. The Packers know him better than anyone and were willing to give him the contract despite the small sample size. I highly doubt they regret it imo.
  8. In the six games against teams with winning records he went 1-5 with 6 TD's and 7 INT's (84.6 passer rating) with the best weapons he may ever have around him. That's not even including the playoff game against the Chiefs. That's why I'm happy about this contract. He's not a threat with his legs and really struggles off script. He's amazing when in rhythm though. One of the best with accuracy, touch, and anticipation. I'll give him that.
  9. I can't think of one example in the last 25 years of this happening. Rob Johnson ruined it.
  10. I get it with Rodgers now more than I did then. We'll never know if they win a Super Bowl if they pick someone else there besides Love. However, at the same time the argument then also was Green Bay only has a year or two to take advantage of their Super Bowl window with a QB on their rookie contract with Love even if it worked out. That's still the case.
  11. What's the success rate of QB's drafted outside the top 10 though? Credit to them in having courage in their convictions but you can't help but wonder if the Packers have another Super Bowl right now if they drafted one of the next two WR's taken (Higgins or Pittman Jr.). I get it with Rodgers though more now than I did at the time.
  12. It was even worse before the rookie wage scale. As we saw with Allen, signing them early is usually the right play. If you're convinced you have your franchise QB you sign him.
  13. Until they stop selling out stadiums they'll keep charging those prices. The beauty of capitalism.
  14. Hope Allen doesn't read Florio. What fun is that?
  15. He's had one good game against us in seven starts (1-6) with 6 TD's, 7 INT's, 207 ypg, and a 77.4 passer rating. It's not just against us but against any decent defense. This is a time for celebration.
  16. Only for special occasions.
  17. I get it but it's nothing new. Part of the primary process as party leaders is trying to balance the will of the voters and picking the best candidate running to win. That means making strategic moves in the primaries like they did in 2020 when Klobachar, Buttigeg, and Biden were siphoning off the moderate vote giving Bernie primary wins without a plurality of votes. They made a strategic move before Super Tuesday to make it a Biden vs. Bernie contest and Biden crushed him the rest of the way because they correctly assumed the democratic voters were more align with the moderate wing (and it obviously gave them the best chance to win). I'll let you have fun with your general election conspiracy stuff though because I think both sides do the best they can to cheat.
  18. Very touching. Can't imagine what they've gone through the last couple of years.
  19. No. Democratic presidential black turnout percentage rate was at an all time high in 2008 and 2012 when a black candidate was on top of the ticket.
  20. Probably black voters that voted in 2008 and 2012 that didn't vote in 2016 and 2020.
  21. It's so amusing how Republicans are more ticked off about this than Democrats. Hillary and Biden saved us from the chance of a crazy socialist nominee that would've sent this country into a depression if elected. They also had more votes. As for Biden this year, has a politician ever re-signed from running after winning the primaries? The 2020 primaries where she performed so poorly she withdrew before the primaries. LOL. I think Dem voters would've been happy with pretty much anybody after the Biden debate debacle.
  22. If you were more valuable you could.
  23. If Rodgers couldn't make it under LaFleur. I just don't see how he can win it under Saleh in a tougher conference. By the way, last year before preseason USA Today predicted Eagles over Jets. Eagles at least made it to the Wild Card round before being bounced by the mighty Baker Mayfield.
