  1. That's what i thought until i saw a pixelated screenshot from facebook. Now I don't know what to think.
  2. This is such anti-scientific BS wrapped in data to make dumb people feel smart. The virus doesn't travel around the world at its size. It does so in respiratory droplets which are far, far larger than indicated. Masks absolutely work Signed, Every country that isn't America.
  3. Max I'd pay him is $12M. He's not a top end DE.
  4. I was speaking of Al Davis and Jerry Jones. It's true those championships were a long time ago, but they're still there.
  5. Other hands on owners tend to get more leeway because of championships. we have two first round wild card exits in a weak AFC. Not nearly the same thing in my book I'm not judging anything. I don't care about her in the slightest. I'm just explaining where the reaction comes from.
  6. Yea, that's where I'm coming from. For hundreds of NFL players this upcoming season will be the one and only year of their lives where they're likely to earn more than a normal working man's salary. For a lot of others it would have been their last. For the hundred guys in the league that make millions a year, the rest of the league is filled with guys just trying to set themselves up for life using the only lucrative skills they're ever likely to have. Family can wait. Guys sacrifice a hell of a lot more for a hell of a lot less every day.
  7. Yes, as I imagine they do.This obviously doesnt happen without the players agreeing to it, but I imagine most of them would prefer not to forgo a years worth of salary. i care much less about them playing than they probably do about earning a living. Especially the bubble league minimum guys and the rookies.
  8. It's probably the best move right now, but football with its short season is in a unique position where there's very little reason they couldn't just push it back a month at a time. They could start in January or Feb and it wouldn't be a problem if they really wanted to. Especially if they didn't need to cater to fan logistics. If I'm Goodell right now, I'm planning for a few hub cities with mandatory lockdown for all players for 4 months starting October and sliding back as needed..
  9. I would expect $450M- $500M. Wlson already makes $35M a year. Inflation ten years from now, with a new TV deal on the way could massively change the cap. If he didn't get at least $450M, it's an awful deal.
  10. You're absolutely 100% spot on. Most people don't achieve insane levels of success through merit and especially not merit commensurate with success. That said, when people act as if they did, when they really didn't, it can be even more galling. I think the problem with Kim is that by inserting herself so strongly into the organization, she's telling us that she's up to the task. When it comes to the Sabres it's obvious that isn't true, and as for the Bills, it remains to be seen. I never said she was dumb.
  11. Her whole story just has a giant creepfactor associated to it. She was 19/20 - Terry was 37/38 and they started dating and he gave her a job. I don't knock the hustle, but she didn't get where she is because of how smart she is. It's a pretty quintessential "Real Housewives" story as someone whose SO watches it on a daily basis. It's because the Pegulas are turning into the Good Guy version of Al Davis and Jerry Jones without the results.
  12. It'll be interesting to see how many week 1 ACL tears we get if there's no pre-season to prepare for and everyone just goes 0-100% in the first game.
  13. It's all fun and games until your star RB gets COPD, your QBs kidneys fail and your MLB has a stroke at 21.
  14. I think "elite" is a bit much, especially considering the author's evidence. Saying that he's generated the 13th most interceptions over his first 2 years since 2000 isn't a bad stat, but it's the only stat he has. He's not a prolific pass rusher or run stopper, and still makes some poor reads. He can still get there for sure, but I don't see Patrick Willis, Luke Kuechly, Ray Lewis, Brian Urlacher, etc. level play just yet.
  15. Hauschka is the 12th most accurate kicker in NFL history and is still 35. I don't mind that we drafted a kicker, but I want them to keep the best player. TO assume this kid is going to be a top 10 all time kicker is a huge reach right now.
  16. What a foreign country does we cant control. What we can do is take personal responsibility and get our own house in order. I know conservatives like to blame other people for their problems, but that's the cold hard reality.
  17. NYC is also massively more densely populated than any city in those states and had the misfortune of dealing with the virus when it was not only at its strongest, but also extremely early on. Everyone else has had time to learn from them, but Cuomo had to pave the way. I don't like the man's politics, but he handled this about as well as anyone could - also considering he had to fight the feds every step of the way while they politicized a pandemic.
  18. It could happen in a week, a month, 4 months six months a year ,2 years, 5 , 10 or never. It's not the point. You claimed that it's official that there wont be fans for any games this year, and that's false.
  19. No, it's not official, not lowercase and certainly not uppercase. "At the time of this writing".
  20. You clearly missed the entire point. Guys like Rob Johnson and Matt Shaub were traded based on sky high potential, which I explicitly called out. What they did or did not end up doing int heir careers is immaterial to the point. Josh Allen is far more of a known quantity in terms of where people would place his ceiling, but also still very much a project with an unknown floor. The Josh Rosen trade isn't a perfect example, but it isn't a terrible one either, given that he was a "barely driven off the lot" QB who many teams would've taken in the first 15 picks a year earlier. This wouldn't be at all similar to the Jay Cutler or Carson Palmer where both were Pro Bowlers. It has nothing to do with Allen's ability - it's the way the NFL works most of the time. Exactly.
  21. I would absolutely do it. Even if it turns out to be safe to go, you could buy tickets for the games you want to see at cost or even a premium and you're still better off than if it's unsafe to go, but you're still charged.
  22. Outside of extremely high potential QBs, the trade value for most NFL players is ludicrously low. Hopkins, the best WR in the league, was traded for a 2nd round pick and a flash in the pan RB. Most NFL teams seem to think that the grass is always greener when it comes to the draft. I see Josh worth a 2nd rounder or maybe a late first with something going back to the other team.
  23. I think Carr has regressed a lot over the years. Until he proves otherwise, I think he's below or even with Minshew. Tannehill's last season was magical. Based on last year, I think your slot is aacurate, but based on his career I think he's down a couple slots. I think the rest of the list is bang on based on what we know now.
  24. Can he though? He can throw far, sure, but his deep ball accuracy is almost fitzpatrick-esque
  25. And now a week later it's rising in 36 states and we just set a new all time one day high. Applebees open != virus over.
