    I follow Michigan football. This is spot on re Wilson.

     

    I have been surprised by the hype, but maybe that’s what happens when you win the championship.  

     

    A lot of the hype happened after the Senior Bowl, where Wilson was beating guys left and right.  Before that he was kind of seen as a late 2nd round guy.  He's kind of like McCarthy.  Underutilized in an offense that ran a very percentage of the time.  Hard to get a good read on guys like that.  But the speed is there, and the hands.

    I'd bet my life that AT LEAST 10k out of the tens of MILLIONS of illegals who have illegally entered our country in recent years will find a way to ILLEGALLY vote in the 2024 election.

     

    You have to have Joe Biden level dementia and/or be a useful idiot to believe otherwise. 

     

    It's also so strange that after the most secure election in US history in 2020, that most people think that our elections are not, in fact, secure.

     

    Really strange.

     

     

     

    If it is that prominent, it should be simple to prove.  So show evidence.  Not just a hunch.  Not just a feeling.  Show evidence, and if there is evidence, prosecute anyone and everyone involved.

    Do you actually think the computer simulations are the same as actually having even 10 years of research? I can't remember if you were one of the people who told me that there was no evidence of long term issues with the COVID shot in summer of 2021 but several people here did, proving the lack of understanding of all scientific principles. A five year study still takes 5 years at a minimum, which you seem confused by.

     

    I didn't say computer simulations are the same.  Do I think they help?  Sure.  My point was, the testing that used to take months or years to do, now can be done much, much faster.  DNA testing wasn't admissible in court until 1986 because it wasn't reliable.  Now, we can have testing done in days, or a couple week at most and with extremely high accuracy rates.  We have more evidence of what components of vaccines and such will have lasting effects.  Again, that isn't to say it's 100% completely foolproof, but to compare testing and research times from 40 years ago and then say that today's stuff isn't as accurate or trustworthy because they didn't take the same amount of time or is also not accurate.

    Before COVID conservatives were the ones who believed in vaccines, while liberals, especially in places life California, fought against the mandates. Now you equate a shot that protects you for 6 weeks with unknown side effects with a vaccine that has 4 decades of information. You truly are gullible

     

    4 decades ago, we didn't have the science or the testing capabilities that we do now.  How were computers 40 years ago?  Televisions?  

     

    I am not saying to follow everything blindly, but the idea that things today take as long as they did 40 decades ago is ludicrous.

    Yeah, no they're not.  I don't get why libs are all pro-Hamas when Hamas would kill every lib for their beliefs and then use your corpse to shield themselves from IDF gunfire.

     

    I'm not pro-Hamas. Not a lib either. But Israel commits acts of terrorism just as often.

    So if it's indoctrination you want, it's ok?

     

    I don't agree with any type on either side.  Teach kids the facts: math, language arts, bring back the life skills classes, and history, then let them make their own decisions.  We should probably add a few more life classes, such as accounting and money management as well, because the country is sorely lacking. But Musk has proven to be very political, so what makes you believe he won't push his politics?  Maybe he won't, and that would be great.  But saying his is "Real education" given his political push at least makes me wonder.

    Based on everything you’ve seen, heard, and read, what do you think? All good?

     

    No,  it's not.  Just funny that arresting a wanted criminal at the border is somehow used as a negative about border security.  So it's a negative if they get through,  and also a negative if they get arrested?

     

    I've got no horse in this race.  Trump was awful. Biden is also awful. They want our eyes on the border,  or anywhere else besides DC.

    Without more reporting it's a good chance its Hamas trying to use civilian clothing. 

     

     

     

     

     

     

    There's an even better chance that they had zero clue if they were Hamas or not, and instead just fired either way.  I understand that war isn't pretty, but killing indiscriminately is a major reason we're here to start with, on both sides.  Hamas needs dealt with, that is clear.  But Israel is no better.  They set up aid stations for food and supplies, and then bombed the area.  But it's ok because a couple may have been Hamas?

    Diggs + 28 + 2025 1st  for 4th overall 

     

    Who says no  

     

    The Cardinals if they're smart.  Diggs isn't going to get better.  He may have a few good years left, but he isn't getting better at this point, and MHJ is a much better prospect anyway.  Plus, MHJ will be much cheaper for at least 4 years.

    Is NE really gonna go with Bailey Zappe? Or Brissett?would have thought they would take a guy but they are the most likely out of the top 3. Getting ahead of the Giants at 6 maybe. You wouldn’t make this move unless you already had a trade partner or an idea of one and this can’t possibly be for JJ McCarthy but crazier ***** had happened in the draft when it comes to selecting QBs 

     

    McCarthy is going top 5.  Possibly top 3.

    Honestly, as much as JA will win us games, he will also lose some due to his sporadic undisciplined improv playing style. I mean, it's fun to watch as fans, but it just has to be a nightmare for the team sometimes.

     

    This is my thought on it as well.  It's so hard to sat because Allen could very well be dominant like he was vs KC in the 13 second game, or he could have a game where he turns it over 2-3 times and in the playoffs, that gets you sent home.  Now obviously ANY QB can have a bad day, Mahomes included, but Allen plays much more reckless, which can be amazingly good, but can also lead to a very bad game here and there too.

    I understand that but Pittsburgh has zero skin in the game.  What happens if a QB they didn’t think would be there lasts until their pick?  Or let’s say Pickett looks decent in training camp.  Or Pittsburgh starts 0-2 with Wilson starting.  Feels like Wilson is trying too hard to show people he still wants to play.  Even $5m from Pittsburgh shows some commitment towards Wilson.  

     

    It's a 1 year deal, and he gets the same money either way, so no commitment either way, and it frees up more money for players elsewhere in Pittsburgh.  Pittsburgh's defense is always near the top of the league in % of the salary cap.

    Maybe, I guess depends on where Cousins, Wilson and maybe Sam Howell end up.

     

    Not one team is passing on McCarthy if they sign Sam Howell.  Wilson either.  Cousins possibly, but he is coming off injury and it would depend on how long of a contract he signs.

    Remember folks, all of Schefter's sources are agents. He will always report the biggest possible number. 

     

    It clearly says "up to", so it's not like he's trying to hide it.  Plus, bigger numbers grab more attention, so it gets him more clicks.

    If I were the Pats, I'd trade back as far as I can (of course everything depends on who does what with FA QBs) and just ahead of the Vikes and Broncos and take

    J.J. McCarthy.  Then I'd sign C. Wilkins, 1 big name WR and a vet or two for OL. and draft BPA throughout.  Bring back Brissett.

     

    We'll see how smart Mayo is.

     

    If they want McCarthy,  they better stay where they are.

    Timing was certainly a priority, particularly in the first batch of pandemic funds. The funds were disbursed in many ways, as quickly as possible, without the time to really establish much of a system to track as well as we normally would expect from our government. I think this was the right way to do it. The economy and our citizens needed it, in emergency kind of ways.

     

    Were the later pandemic funds needed? That's where we find disagreements, right?

     

    I think if the 1st round was done properly, the 2nd round may not have been needed.  Honestly, the 2nd probably wasn't needed either way.  But as I mentioned, the citizens didn't get crap from either round, or at least the citizens who "deserved" it.  Most of the recipients were corporations and people who used it to not work but still make more money than they were while working.  The every day citizen who continued to work didn't really get much at all in regards to useful benefits.

    Dems continue to blame inflation and shrinkflation on corporations.  Because they know their base is dumb.  
     

     

     

     

    For the 1000th time, who printed the money in 2020?  Who approved more pandemic handouts, Trump or Biden?  Now, both were beyond dumb with the amounts given out, but both sides just blame each other and ignore what their own side did.  

     

    And most of the pandemic funds did end up as corporate funds and profits.  Even the money to citizens was quickly eaten up by increased prices on everything, turning right back around into corporation hands.
