    On PTI, Kornheiser half-jokingly suggested to Wilbon that his Bears should trade Fields and the #1 pick to the Ravens for Lamar....not a fan of LJ, but I think the Ravens would have to consider it at this point.

     

    Would contract consider that though? Fields plus a boatload of picks > Jackson and a huge conteact.

    Your assumptions are quite telling 

     

    I am well aware of what “my own” article says. NO ONE on the right says that the Russians didn’t try to interfere in the 2016 election, in fact it was our stand that they have for decades 

     

    Today the Washington Post admitted that they had no influence on the outcome. Surely you have read the almost daily posts from the usual suspects here that Russia stole the election from Hillary because Trump was a Putin stooge ?

     

    That nonsense needs to be laughed at as often as possible. 
     

     

     

    .

     

    It says NOWHERE that the Russians had no impact entirely.  It says that the Russian troll accounts on TWITTER had no impact.  Those are 2 different things entirely. 

     

    You are stating they had no impact at all.  The articles you posted says the Twitter accounts had no impact on the election.  Twitter is obviously not the only avenue to take in this situation.  So either you didn't read/understand fully what it said, or you are trying to mislead people.

    There were links to three different news articles.

     

    and the twitter dodge is the best you can deflect with.

     

    So weak.

     

     

     

     

    Your own article says that there was no impact made by the Russian accounts on Twitter.  Not that there wasn't Russian interference, but that the Russian troll accounts on Twitter did not impact the elections.  

     

    From your own article:

     

    "Citing a new study, the Post reports that there was no appreciable impact made by Russian “trolls” operating on Twitter during the 2016 election."

     

    The "trolls operating on Twitter" had no impact.  I am not arguing that there was a bunch of Russian interference because I haven't seen enough evidence one way or the other, but your post is really misleading too.

    Joe Wood DC in Cleveland fired at 6:30 AM. Media here are saying he is just a scapegoat for a dysfunctional organization. They are still piling on Stefanski but he may yet survive. 

     

    3 years in a row Joe Woods would play zone coverage nonstop while Cleveland's corners excel in man to man.  He always would switch with like 5 games left and the defense would improve tremendously.  I don't fully blame him for the run defense though because he was saddled with crap DTs.

    Which dem senator did Trump appear in public with to celebrate that one?

     

     

    Who cares about public?  Is that really the requirement now?  And again, we have no idea if that would be a Democrat or a Trump thing, because Trump wouldn't give Democrats credit for anything they did do.  The dude was an "expert" on everything, the "best" at everything, and took credit for everything he could, even if he wasn't involved.  I doubt his partisan hack ego could allow them to show up together.

    The post wasn't talking about politicians taking the opportunity to glad hand over pork barrel handouts regardless of party affiliation.

     

    It asked for examples of other side of the aisle politicians, specifically senators, doing it with Trump.

     

    Again, we'll wait.

     

    First Step Act of 2018 is one for criminal justice changes.

     

    And your criteria isn't necessarily showing great Republican "bipartisanship" as you seem to believe.  Trump was also as partisan as it gets, and tried to withhold emergency federal funding because it was to a Democratic state.  So it wasn't always Democrats refusing to work with him, though it obviously goes both ways there entirely too often.  

     

    Both parties are garbage, everyone knows  they're garbage, yet we sit here and argue about whose garbage smells better.  And we draw lines over who has the best garbage while the parties are the same damn thing painted different colors.

    McConnell's Kentucky is one of the welfare capitals of the country.  Of course he is going to support another federally funded infrastructure project in his own state.  Kentucky receives 215% more federal funding than they pay in.  

     

    This isn't some great "bipartisan" plan.  It's Kentucky with their hand out, like usual.

    Well Baltimore and Kansas City lost to Buffalo, the Ravens might have a case but they will also get that opportunity in week 18 against the Bengals. If they win, they win the division which is best case for Baltimore anyways.

     

    Kansas City has no room to talk if they decide to give Buffalo the 1 seed because they lost to Buffalo. If they decide to give the 1 seed to Cincinnati, Kansas City has no room to talk. 

     

    KC does have room to talk because that is not how home field works.  It is based on overall record, not just head to head.  Head to head is the tie breaker, not the deciding factor.  

     

    I don't see any way that Buffalo and Cinci don't finish the game.  The question will be WHEN and how to change the other schedules to accommodate it.

    Who cares about the NFC?  This should be about ensuring the fairest possible outcome to the most possible teams.  The NFC doesn't have an inequity issue with their playoff process.

     

    I understand, but like I said, that really doesn't accomplish anything.  It would give one team of Cinci and Buffalo a bye, and the other one would probably go without.  I think if anything, the playoffs will be delayed in their entirety to give Cinci and Buffalo a chance to finish the game.  Still not perfect, but there are way too many other moving parts to do things otherwise.  Otherwise there could be tons of teams not involved that would get directly punished by this situation.

    Cancel game, Bills and Bengals records remain the same....


    *If KC is 13-4, CIN is 12-4, BUF is 12-4:      CIN 1, BUF 2, KC 3
    *If KC is 14-3, BUF is 13-3:             BUF 1, KC 2, CIN 3

    Why? Both BUF and CIN defeated KC
     

     

    Head to head only matters if they are tied though, and they aren't.  You can't penalize KC for a game they weren't even involved in.  There is no great way to fix this, but punishing KC for it isn't the answer either.

     

    They either have to play the game at some point, or figure out an acceptable way to make this as "fair" as possible, which I am not sure there is one.

    Probably the worst officiated big college game Ive ever seen. Michigan got jobbed on that last call and throughout the game. That was text book targeting by TCU and the officials were too scared to call it.  One question on the TCU 3rd down play  (on their last offensive series) where the receiver caught the slant but missed on getting the first down. If you watch the replay he falls towards the sideline and his hand touches 2 feet into the sideline before the he is down. Doesnt that mean the clock should stop?and he is out of bounds?  and that would mean that Harbaugh doesnt have to take his last TO. Did the officals miss this or is the college rule different from the NFL where this would be out of bounds.

     

    No. His forward progress stopped.

    Per my son, the only thing that matters in this situation is will Stidham get the ball to Davante Adams for his FF Championship.  Probably a millions other people feel the same.  But yeah, strange move.

     

    They're making sure he doesn't get hurt.  He's a huge liability if they aren't in the playoff hunt.

    If McDaniels had even a top 15 defense they'd easily be in the playoffs.  This is not Carr's fault. 

     

    Not entirely, but he isn't blameless either.  14 INT's to lead the league, and a $40.5 salary make him very much a liability.  And his worst season besides his rookie year after adding Davante Adams.

    Elway is listed as a consultant to the team - you don't have to be in charge to provide advice to the current GM. What position did Elway play ? 

    You don't think it was a group decision to bring Wilson in and sell the farm ? 

     

    And George Patton is not the GM of the Broncos ...

    The Paton thing was an autocorrect. So yes, George PATON is GM. 

     

    Did they ask Elway? Sure, I'm sure they did.  Your previous article said "Elway would oversee" the trade, and completely left Paton out. He wasn't even mentioned anywhere in the article.
