Doc Brown

Not worth the headache when there's so many young WR's vying for a roster spot as talented as he is at this point in his career.

Most of these QB deals get done during the summer right up until the season opener (Mahomes, Goff, Wentz, Watson). It makes sense after the draft and free agency is wrapped up to see where you are salary cap wise.

Does Houston want to take on his salary though? Especially with Caserio having that Patriots background where RB by committee is the norm. There's no way in hell Beane would pay a running back that much. Yet alone trade a first rounder for one.

Great news for Johnson & Johnson vaccine. One shot dose in huge in speeding up vaccination process.

It comes down to the states as bluer states will be quicker to mandate the vaccine to kids if parents want their kids to attend public schools. However, I expect most school districts throughout the country to mandate the covid vaccine for students by this coming fall like they do measles, polio, and hepatitis B. Employers can also mandate vaccines so if you're a business owner it would be dumb not to. The NFL will also have every right to mandate that all fans must show proof of vaccination papers if they want to fill stadiums again.

He'll make the highest you can make (around 13 million) as far as the transitional tag is concerned (average yearly salary of 1st through 10th at the position) because he made that pro bowl. If he didn't and did play 75% of his snaps they take the average salary of 3rd through 25th at the position. Thanks pro bowl voters. At least we won't have to pay him the franchise tag amount.

Not the franchise tag amount. Edmunds will earn the regular transitional tag amount (13 million) because he was selected to one pro bowl on the original ballot.

I like the idea of always having that 5th year option every year so staying put at 30 and taking the best player available at an area of need/depth is fine with me.

Kids adapt quickly when left home alone. Great news out coming of Israel with the Pfizer vaccine The Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE Covid-19 vaccine appeared to stop the vast majority of recipients in Israel becoming infected, providing the first real-world indication that the immunization will curb transmission of the coronavirus. The vaccine, which was rolled out in a national immunization program that began Dec. 20, was 89.4% effective at preventing laboratory-confirmed infections, according to a copy of a draft publication that was posted on Twitter and confirmed by a person familiar with the work. The companies and Israel’s Health Ministry worked together on the preliminary observational analysis, which has not yet been peer-reviewed. The results, also reported in Der Spiegel, are the latest in a series of positive data to emerge out of Israel, which has given more Covid vaccines per capita than anywhere else in the world. Nearly half of the population has had at least one dose of vaccine. Separately, Israeli authorities on Saturday said the Pfizer-BioNTech shot was 99% effective at preventing deaths from the virus.

Ratings fluctuate yearly and ad supported television shows declined as a whole since the start of the pandemic as streaming increased. NFL ratings historically decline during a presidential election year. The games still dominate any other crap the networks put on. These networks are willing to pay top dollar.

If not boycotting the Olympics in a country that that is currently holding millions of people in camps isn't reason enough what would be? There needs to be a campaign to compare it to the Berlin Olympics before WWII. The idea that sports and politics should be kept separate is nonsense on an international stage which was the argument at the time. I doubt the US or anybody boycotts because of the potential economic impact such a move would make in international markets so there has to be political pressure to force their hand (worldwide protests would be a good start).

Losing him creates too big a hole at LB which is especially important in this defense. We don't have a replacement and you can never count on a rookie. Bite the bullet. Franchise tag him and give him and Edmunds one more year of an evaluation before dishing out a big contract.

A disaster in your state is usually a gift to a politician. You pretend to help those in need, do photo ops, and get great press. Cruz decides to take his family to Cancun and then blames his daughters when this genius suddenly realizes how bad the optics are. You'd expect better judgement from a Princeton and Harvard graduate. I'll go out on a limb and say this hurts his 2024 presidential nominee chances and possible SCOTUS ambitions.

There was little enforcement mechanism and radio companies were reluctant to broadcast conservative points of view. It was mostly liberal and frankly boring to listen to.

They paid Rivers the same amount last year and his salary is a bargain for the next four years if Wentz can get back to his MVP form. Colts have the salary cap space to take this contract on as I believe they'll pry be around 45 million under the cap now. Plus, they can cut bait with him after two years scotch free if he doesn't work out. This has the potential to backfire but it's more likely to work out than not imo. I'm just laughing at the Eagles having to eat 33.8 million in dead cap. The last three years was a complete organizational failure by the Eagles when it came to Wentz.

If Wentz can go back to his 2017 form under Reich for the next decade this could be looked at one of the most lopsided trades in NFL history. Not even a guaranteed first round pick for a guy you had to give up multiple firsts, a 2nd, and a 3rd for to trade up and draft. I don't know if I've ever seen an organization win a Super Bowl and then become this dysfunctional as fast as they did. They seemed to do everything possible to set Wentz up to fail.

Thanks. It helps when you're used to being laughed at. Just don't bring up any of the old 2018 QB draft rookie threads.

Agreed for the most part (you could pry switch to nuclear energy only as a backup if you want to spend the dough). You also make a great case with ERCOT on the danger of too few government regulations.

Without there being a liberal media bias there is no Rush Limbaugh. .Period. .The fact that he stayed relative so long is because they refuse to self correct.

Wow. I bet they never thought of that.

Just more proof Biden was smart to say we need to increase police funding before the election.

Yeah. The whole messy ordeal makes me think maybe they should think about speeding up the transition time between the election date and inauguration. They pry could speed up the process to the beginning of January. I'm not sure if whether trying a former president for crimes committed in office is "constitutional" but I've heard convincing cases on both sides. I personally don't think the framers believed that a public officer shouldn't be held accountable for any actions during their lame duck period. Calling it being unconstitutional as a "likely potentially correct" interpretation is stretching it. I'm sure Trump will be tried in either criminal or civil court as more information comes out. McConnell basically invited those lawsuits yesterday. Intent is difficult to prove but there might be enough evidence there. I agree that the House managers waited to deliver the articles until the new Senate was convened to avoid having to deal with McConnell and maybe unwillingly gave Republicans who acquitted their needed "out" by doing so. I still think that the whole impeachment trial was necessary though to prevent future behavior by politicians in similar positions. Having seven defectors from your own party should be enough of a deterrent.

I'm not surprised with that poster. I'm not really worried though because the headline "Republicans refuse to work on bill that will prevent cuts in medicare and farm aid" won't play well even with Republican voters.

I thought the House managers made a pretty good case through past comments, past tweets, showing him encouraging people to march on the Capitol building to stop the steal right before the incident, and comments made during the attack about fighting for Trump that he could be directly blamed for the insurrection on the capital building. All the senators knew it too. The case against him was MUCH stronger than the quid pro quo impeachment case. That's why you saw seven Republicans break rank which is unprecedented in modern times. Zero from Clinton's party voted to convict and only one did (Romney) on one count in Trump's first impeachment trial. I get that McConnell doesn't want to anger Trump's fervent base so him and other Senators used the convenient rationale (unconstitutional to convict a president who is out of office which is in itself a stretch considering he was in office when this happened). That way they didn't have to defend Trump's conduct. As far as Democrats not calling witnesses, they made the right move in not dragging this out another few months when it was clear Republican Senators weren't going to change their minds. They have an agenda they need to get to and an aid package is needed to keep the economy afloat during this pandemic. It will be more difficult now that the Republicans can scream deficit again.

The second most "bipartisan" impeachment in our country's history I believe behind Andrew Johnson. The technical reason of he's no longer a president had to be used by McConnell as a yes vote on acquittal for crying out loud. The usual political witch hunt argument couldn't even be used like it was in his first impeachment and Clinton's impeachment. Trump did manage to be the first president in four years to lose reelection and go from having the majority in the two houses to the minority since Hoover in '32. So Dems can thank him for that.
