  1. I thought they'd take Hunter and then trade back up for Sanders.
  2. There's plenty of decent YouTube live draft shows if you are looking for more substance but less of a production.
  3. Looking at the social media they tend to be split. Travis Hunter is a hard prospect to pass up on.
  4. Dolphins could go Warren here.
  5. Cowboys must hate Dak Prescott.
  6. Mel really likes Shedeur Sanders. Geez.
  7. Are you just saying he's faster because Coleman's pretty athletic?
  8. LOL. Jets. Pass on Bowers last year and Warren this year.
  9. Not happening. I guarantee it. If Cook does get traded I vow to not eat pizza and wings for a week.
  10. The thing that sucks about taking a RB top 5 is he's already a top 10 paid RB in the league in terms of AAV even on his rookie contract.
  11. Jared Mayo right up there with Andy Dalton. Lol.
  12. They got a haul for the Wentz pick and completely squandered all those picks. Lol.
  13. A lot of 10-3 victories incoming.
  14. 3D chess by McDermott losing to the Pats in the finale. Lol.
  15. How funny would it be if he tore his ACL walking up to the podium.
  16. This is why Myles Garrett stayed. Future draft picks.
  17. I said when the whole stupid tariff thing started and the markets freaked out the best case scenario was it was a trash and cash scheme. Nothing else made sense.
  18. I said CB. Lol. In hindsight though, drafting three running backs in the first round pry was a major contributor to the drought. Where were you when we needed you analytics?
  19. Can't believe the Bills took a CB at #30 coming off a torn ACL. Boom or bust I guess.
  20. Mostly reactive although there's a lot of proactive regulations when it comes to climate change. We contribute to climate change but how much we do is overstated imo. There's a certain arrogance in thinking that we alone are the reason for climate change. Forcing car companies to rapidly curb the emissions of greenhouse gases, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides in gas powered vehicles by 2027 is an example of that. All that would do is make gas powered cars more expensive as I doubt the more expensive hybrid and electric vehicle prices going down. So basically it's similar to tariffs in that it's a tax on the consumer. The problem with reactive regulations is you're assuming they were written competently, based off sound research, and actually address the problem. If the regulation falls into that category it's unlikely to be eliminated because it might cost a few regulatory jobs and there's no incentive to do so.
  21. Squeaky wheel gets the grease. Myles Garrett posted a thank you letter to Browns fans to convince the Browns to sign him for $40m/year. Cook doesn't have 34 years left on his playing career so the appropriate time for him to exert maximum pressure is right now. His next contract will likely be the only bite of the apple he can setting himself up financially the rest of his life. I t's likely the best season he'll ever have as a pro given his age, the quality of our o-line, and his efficiency numbers last year (especially his total TD's which will regress to the mean). You also now have fans who fell in love with him last year on Cook's side. It could force a trade to a team willing to pay him a massive RB extension if the Bills aren't going too. I don't like the strategy but I've seen a number of players get a contract extension done successfully using this strategy. At the very least it makes it more likely that you can add incentives to his contract this year like the Giants did with Barkley when they franchise tagged him.
  22. Happy Gilmore style.
  23. @HOUSEgot snubbed. The machine is flawed.
  24. There's always a tug and poll from each party when it comes to regulations. There are absolutely unnecessary and/or redundant regulations. You're correct that to paraphrase we need regulations basically because of human nature. Banking especially (see subprime mortgage crisis). Obviously there's been many necessary federal regulations passed (especially during the first half of the 20th century) but you can't study every government regulation and not with a straight face come to the conclusion that regulators have run amok. There are plenty of regulations that have no usefulness that only make running a business more costly. Costs that are passed onto the taxpayer and study after study shows they hurt the lowest income people the most.
