    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.

    It’s almost essentially a fourth round draft, pick considering where Chicago is drafting this year

     

    It's early, but not top of the round.  The 1st pick is from the Panthers, not their own.  They should have the 9th pick of the 5th round.

    That's nuts. Purdy doesn't have the physical gifts to overcome a lack of talent around him. Mediocre arm strength, not great size.

     

     

     

    You're just making stuff up at this point.  Yes, Purdy isn't 6'5" 240, but he is 6'1" and 220.  Again, not many are like Allen.  Not everyone has a rocket arm.  And that's ok.  Plenty of top tier QBs didn't have elite arm strength.  Plus, Shanahan's offense doesn't ask a quarterback to throw down field non stop.  He asks for more timing, crossing routes, which Purdy is excellent at.  

     

    Purdy is a bit of a system QB, but to act like ANY QB can be a system QB is insane.  Lance was gabage in the offense. Garrapolo wasn't much better.  Suddenly, Purdy comes in and the offense takes off but has nothing to do with him?

    Cool, let's see him do that on a team like, say, the Jets.

     

    The man is the beneficiary of the most talented offense in the league, a HOF RB, and a coach that made Matt Ryan look like a football god

     

     

    That's not fair though.  Josh Allen wouldn't look like Josh Allen on the Jets either.  He'd still be very good, but he wouldn't be as good as he is now.  

     

    Purdy definitely benefits from a good offense, but he himself is very good too.

    You would know what that looks like since you lie and give false information all the time. You’re such a hypocrite!

     

    Show me 1 example.  Give me a post of me lying and giving false info.  I generally post here once a week or so. I hadn't posted in the political portion in several weeks until recently because it's the same 10 people spewing political nonsense all the time.  People here are so divided over the stupidest of reasons, they literally just make stuff up at will and post it as fact.

    The fact you believe these examples are representative of the majority of traditional American moderates provides an insight into your irrational thinking. 

     

    You do realize that people saying that "In the eyes of the American left idiot class anyone politically to the right of Lenin and Mao are right wing extremists.  MAGA is a term they use to describe what used to be called Moderates." is the exact same irrational thinking, right?  MOST left leaning people AREN'T extremists.  The extremists tend to be the loudest, and that's on both sides of the aisle. 

     

    Most Americans fall somewhere in the middle.  They tend to lean a little right or left, but overall are more centered.  I lean a little left on social issues, but not to the extreme as to support the totally absurd lengths that some go to.  I tend to lean right on financial issues, even if the "right" politically in this country doesn't lean right in that regard anymore.

    Huntley ran the Ravens offense at the end of last year and was a fumble away from winning the wild card game.

     

    Huntley had a QBR of 42 last year. He did play decent in the playoff game, but also had 2 turnovers,  1 of which was returned for a TD. My point was,  if he starts 17 games,  the Ravens are likely 5-12ish. He averaged 131 yards passing in 5 regular season games in 2022.

    yeah anyone with half a brain can see that Josh is more valuable to Buffalo than Lamar is to the Ravens.

     

    I don't know how anyone can say this with any kind of certainty.  Without Allen, the Bills don't win many games.  Without Jackson, the Ravens don't win many games.  The Ravens offense isn't that great.  Dobbins was out.  Their WR are very iffy.  Andrews at TE is great, but he's hurt a lot.  So a lot falls on Jackson' shoulders, just like Allen in Buffalo.  

     

    I'm not disagreeing that Allen is worthy, but every fan thinks "their" guy is the most important guy in the league.

    Love to see it lol 

     

    Stroud beat by a Harbaugh for the 3rd year in a row!  Can't beat them on the field, apparently pay to try to beat them?

    Up until the Josh stunt, I didn’t mind Mahomes. Clearly he is ultra talented but a total POS like his brother. Kicking tuckers stuff before game another classless example of who he really is. 

     

    Tucker was 60 yards from where the NFL designates they be.  That's on him.  Mahomes apologized after the situation with Allen. At least admitted he was wrong.  

  12. Yeah, it'll be Sherrone Moore.  Players love him, least amount of attrition, and the culture stays.  He's been there 6 or 7 years in come capacity.  The bigger thing will be if Minter goes with Harbaugh, which he probably will.  It'll be replacing both coordinators and any other position coaches who leave.

    Ukrainian-born Japanese woman sparks debate after being crowned Miss Japan

    Carolina Shiino, whose both parents were Ukrainian, arrived in Japan at age of five

     

     

     

    A lot of the woke crap I don't agree with at all.  This is one don't really understand the uproar.  She's lived in Japan most of her life.  She speaks Japanese.  She seems to be immersed in Japanese culture.  She's a Japanese citizen.  Japan is more closed off to immigrants than most countries, but it's not like this woman showed up and won the next week.  

     

    Now, if it's politically driven because she was born in Ukraine, that's not right either, but I didn't see anything suggesting that.

    "Led them" to a Super Bowl is inaccurate, imo.

    That was one of the most talent-loaded teams in the last decade and the majority of their success was a result of the work of Greg Roman and Vic Fangio.

    The instant that talent began to thin out and Harbaugh could only get them to 8-8, they got him out of their organization as fast as they possibly could.

    I think it's only a matter of time before this blows up in the Chargers' face.

     

    Before Harbaugh, the 49ers hadn't made the playoffs in 8 years, and they were 39-73 the previous 7 season combined. So no, they weren't "loaded" when he got there.  Roman and Fangio came with him from Stanford, so how is it their work?

     

    He took a 1-11 Stanford and turned them around when USC was at the top of college football, to the point he was beating them head to head.

    Ravens could definitely be a playoff team with Tyler Huntley under center … that alone takes him (LJ) out of MVP consideration. 

     

    Have you ever actually watched Huntley play? He's below average at best.  He plays the whole season,  Baltimore is below .500.

    Josh winning both would be the righteous choice. No player means more to their team or city. 

     

    That statement is entirely subjective, and the "city" has no bearing on the selection.

    No you didn't. Other than Kyle Pitts he is the only tight end I have ever had a first round grade on. The only thing holding Njoku back has been staying healthy. He is a beast.

     

    Njoku still drops passes. Much better than he used to be.  He also used to be a terrible blocker, but he is actually a very good blocker now.  He really improved over the last year or 2.
