This clearly opens the floodgates to the premier free agents signing with the Chiefs on 1-year vet minimum deals in order to stack the roster even further. Suddenly everyone will put money out of their minds and focus on getting a ring. The first domino to fall in this direction will likely be Gabe Davis. Meanwhile, we will sign a punter to $20mil/year and extend McBeane into the 2040s.

That was my first thought as well.

McDermott is a Super Bowl caliber coach. Gabe is a good WR2. The first receiver we draft will be a bust, but the second receiver we draft will be Gabe 2.0 with an identical ending. Our first-round defensive back pick will be a perennial All-Pro. Gilliam is more than worth his roster spot and makes the team better. Bass rebounds and will have consecutive good seasons. The 2024 offense will be more balanced and geared towards heavier formations (12, 21 and even 22 personnel) with a focus on the play-action pass.

Wow. Sounds like he has zero self respect lol.

Looks like the psy-op at halftime was a fake to the back. Maybe Tay-Tay makes her diabolical play-action pass during the postgame?

Gym was my least favorite class by far. Being forced against my will to run a mile at 8:30am is not my idea of enjoyment. That being said, I know a lot of people who got a lot out of sports and the life lessons they can teach. I respected its inclusion in the curriculum even if I don't have an athletic bone in my body lol.

And especially wide receivers. Mahomes is basically a QB with the receiver diva mentality now that I think about it...

Hmmm... was there something that happened in the Middle East between September and January that might have changed their calculus? Maybe it was in October? Maybe something in... oh idk, Israel? Whatever could it be... 🤔

How wide is a football field anyway? And the hash marks? I'm honestly surprised I don't know that off the top of my head.

Is it just me or does she have that same Stephon Diggs twitter energy? If so, it might be a match made in heaven! 🤣

So Tay-Tay is just a pop star and her effect on the election laughable at best. But she's also a threat to democracy. Oh yeah. The Republicans have their own versions of Tay-Tay too (but not in a "threatening to democracy" way). They should consider going on tour to swing states exclusively, since Republicans genuinely care about all Americans and not just staying in power. Sounds like a plan. Maybe call it Plan A as a direct challenge to Plan B and other forms of reproductive health care.

The way I've always liked to phrase it is that Mahomes is the better QB, but Allen is the better football player.

Well done and worth the watch regardless of the author's point. I recommend it.

Maybe Brady should switch to defensive coordinator if he's that good at coaching incomplete passes.

Yup, the 7th floor has a special area for law students that is only accessible with a swipe card. I do most of my studying there too. And I agree that it is a very strange layout. That's also hilarious because I thought the exact same thing about the upper floors lmao. Thank you for wishing me luck. Again, the aim is to be a patent prosecutor, but my #2 choice would be real property and wills, trusts, and estates. That's generally my strongest area (at least according to my grades). I really don't want to be a litigator at all; a courtroom just isn't for me. On the other hand, I could see myself become a local town justice in my later years. Best of luck to you and your wife as well buddy. Mens sana in copore sano!

It's funny you say that! As it turns out, I just might happen to have a bridge in PPP to sell you 😅

Huh? It's not a bad thing, it's just humorous if you understand the underlying dynamics like @Roundybout presumably does. She was one of the people who came to college more for the parties than for the learning. Her friends and her got shooed out because she admitted that they were used to Capen Library, and Capen is the Wild Wild West compared to the law library. You can't just mosey around giggling loudly in the law library without at least getting a dirty look from some gassed law student on their fourth 5-hour energy shot of the morning, as she quickly found out. Her looks are completely irrelevant, but I didn't find her physically attractive. In addition, the school spirit types just have a different kind of peppy energy that I don't match well with. I like the quiet, shy, nerdy types with big hearts and fat cats.

I got a 1270 on my SAT, of which 590 was the verbal score. But if I showed you some of my writing from when I was 17, then you'd probably be appalled (and it's okay if so, because I definitely am lol). I'm autistic and wasn't even diagnosed until after I finished my undergrad (partly because I am deceptively high-functioning, especially on things like standardized tests). One of the definitive symptoms of autism is basically being socially and verbally 'tarded, so my communication skills while growing up were below average. Because I was undiagnosed, I never received support for my special needs in my youth. This even screwed me out of advanced-placement classes on three separate occasions, going all the way back to first grade (and I still remember that first doubter's name, too: Mrs. Blackburn ). In addition, some of my greatest insights into writing didn't even come from English class. For example, learning beginner-level communication in a new language actually helped me write more fluently in English at the intermediate level. English is a messy, hodgepodge language, and there are many ways to communicate verbally that can be readily understood by a native listener, but aren't correct in writing. Many of these bad habits were so second-nature that I didn't even notice them. My eureka moment in English actually came from a rudimentary exposure to the comparatively well-defined and logical structure of French. Up until then, I was convinced that I'd never be a good writer. But then I realized that writing is a lot like math; since I was already good at math, I could also be good at writing! In summary, I think communication skills take time. They need to be nurtured and cultivated. Some take longer than others to blossom. Setting specific standards that must be met after so many revolutions around the sun is arbitrarily unfair to those who might fall far from the standard mold, like I did. I still know I can do better and am constantly trying to improve. I think that brevity might be a good place to start, don't you? 🤣 PS - Up to 40% of my ChemE class were not native English speakers. Their writing was usually atrocious (like worse than Google translate at the time), and most if not all of them still got their degrees.

Congrats on your marriage! What kind of law does she practice? I'm actually a student at the law school now (aiming for patent law myself) and I know exactly what you mean about Lockwood being a good place to study. As an undergrad, I distinctly remember when our tour group walked by the law library and the student guide said: "So this is the law library. It's a bit quieter than Capen... (smirks). Like, one time my friends and I went to check it out and we got shooed away by the law students who were studying... so umm, yeah they're a bit more serious here. Enter at your own risk." She was definitely one of the pep-rally/school spirit/sorority types fwiw 🤣

I guess I incorrectly attributed your suspicions of his claim to a knock on the profession itself considering the whole tone of the post. I believe you're right that engineering jobs are more gig oriented, but that's a general trend in the economy overall, and one perpetuated by employers seeking to cut costs for higher profits, so I didn't see the point in bringing it up fwiw. While difficulty is subjective at some level, here's one objective way to gauge difficulty: the amount of hours the average student studies sorted by discipline. By that measure, engineering students put in more hours per week into studying than any other undergraduate field. And fwiw, I always wrote and edited all of the group projects I had, primarily because the other 3 routinely loathed writing. They also tended to be more socially awkward than average, which doesn't help communication skills either. That's not to say I don't agree with your general expectations of education on one's communication skills, but like you said it takes different skill sets to master different fields, and most of engineering does not involve working on one's communication skills. North. I never got to see the old buildings at the South Campus Most of my lectures were in Knox Hall or Furnas Hall. That's funny about the bathroom shortcut though lol. When did you get your masters?

If you're a troll, this is 5-star work and I'll just let you carry on. The fact that I can't truly tell if you are is what makes it masterful.

On draft day, my preferred choice was Darnold. I thought Mayfield had bust written all over him and fit the Browns perfectly. Rosen felt like a trap and I wanted nothing to do with him. I was concerned about Allen ever becoming an accurate QB, but his measurables and arm alone made him my #2 choice. By the time we picked at 7, I was over the Jets taking Darnold and happy that we at least got Allen. I've never been more happy to be wrong about doubting someone. He fits the Bills and our fanbase like a glove (no OJ pun intended).

I'm a little confused. Where are you on the political spectrum? Party affiliation? Some general political beliefs?

Ahh very cool! Where'd you go to school? I got my ChemE at UB. (sorry if you mentioned it before and I forgot) Also, it's a very strange flex to attempt to knock the most difficult of the undergraduate fields of study, @Joe Ferguson forever. Mr. Farley and I are not on the same side of the fence and yet I've found him to be very reasonable in our discussions. I tend to like the points you bring up, and you don't need to go below the belt to do so. Granted, idk the history between you two. I just prefer genuine discourse to poo-flinging.

EDIT: On second thought, I can't actually figure out wtf is happening above so I'll withhold my sarcasm for later. But to wit, it's a bit far fetched to think Kelce and Tay-Tay's relationship is a government psychological operation. Surely anyone with common sense realizes that's Tinfoil Hat Territory.
