This is maddening. I’m not the damn stock market!! Next week, I have 40 employees hitting unemployment if we don’t open. I’ve paid them two weeks with NO income coming in. My buddy, a business owner, has 300+ employees he laid off last week and they will NOT have a job until we start normal life again. You want to talk about the financial and psychological impact on those employees?? Hate to say it, but we are trying the best as we can to prevent this virus from killing a large portion of the worlds population, but at some point, we need to cautiously carry on. I believe we are almost there with some of the advances against the virus we have made.

Reference for my point of view is that I’m a multimillionaire and made it from nothing. I have multiple businesses across the country and employees around the world. A couple of my businesses we were forced to lay people off, but my larger business, we were not. I wanted to give you some feedback and hopefully, you give me your unemotional perspective. 1). I agree that we need to make the unemployment package larger than what the Republicans proposed. Most people don’t know that small business account for approximately 48% of US employees. We will lose and have lost many of those jobs. I want our employees taken care of. 2)The politicians offer for a low interest SB loan is BS. As a small biz owner, we’ve risked our houses, our, 401k’s, and our good paying jobs in hopes we achieve The American Dream. We don’t want another loan - we’ve had enough. **i believe the answer is for the government to cover 100% payroll for the SB and rent. I believe most SB’s would cover all the other costs as they are minimal for most and it would keep their employees whole** 3) I agree with an effort to give unemployed people with lower income immediate checks from the government for food and other essentials. What the cut off would be, I’m not sure, but maybe more $ for those that have lower wages, more $ for those with kids, etc. 4)I agree that we need oversight for the bailout $ for large firms. No stock buy backs, $ must be used for US employees, committee of Dems and Reps to decide who and how much, etc. I think we both agree we need a stimulus package immediately. We/they need to focus on those issues directly tied to our relief and recovery (as per above)I’m both saddened and scared that the Dems would introduce additional non-related issues in the stimulus bill and are holding America hostage. What would be your opinion if the Republicans decided to introduce pro-gun legislation? Anti-abortion laws? etc. Now is not the time!

I'm not sure we have any media without opinion these days. Literally everything has an opinion or slant. The fact we don't just receive the FACTS is whats new in this country.

Adding on chit like this with what is going on - yes, pure evil. There definitely needs to be controls on the $ for corporations. There definitely needs to be more $ for unemployment and hospitals. Those are the issues both parties should be negotiating and you know it. She is holding America hostage at the moment adding these things on. Pure idiocy. Sadly, if she keeps holding off on signing the bill, the class division within this country will magnify greatly. Small businesses will fall by the wayside and their market share will be scooped up by large business.

Spot on. Remember when all the knee-jerk coaches were hammering Edmunds rookie year. This is reminiscent.

Hapless hitting nail on the head!! Seriously, for anyone in the intel field, plausible deniability is basic tradecraft. I don’t wear a tinfoil hat, but this is obvious. Patriots have been doing this and more for years.

Headed to the tents of Oktoberfest in Munich on Sunday in September(Bills were about to play in few hours) cruising in the two seat rickshaw bikes - saw a dude with a Bills shirt and yelled “Go Go Buffalo”. He gave me the thumbs up and we went our ways.

Sorry - not at all your place to decide what Chicharito gets offended at. Not at all. Having said that, it’s absolutely your choice to keep your hat on or remove it. Welcome to America.

?so don’t get better WR’s to help your QB?

Agreed 100%! We need to score more points. Look what Allen has accomplished with Smoke and he’s not even an elite WR. Imagine Allen with another WR equal to or better than Smoke.

Awesome! Will have to check out one of our hometown boys games.

By that way of thinking, Gronks hit on Tre White would be nothing to be upset about as he was not carted off the field. I’m certain you don’t think that Slim, but using “carted off the field” or an actual injury as the measuring stick doesn’t fly.

You’re right. That was a tad too low throw by Allen. Mosley looks back and that’s a pick.

That fumble was mostly on Mitch. He just needs to warm up. Get ready for turning point of game. Here we go!

Seriously. I’m asking the veterans and experts on here. Is there some conspiracy theories out there or what? Does not make sense.

Just watching NFL Live and the talking heads said they had to send him letter and that is normal practice and what the must do. Not sure we can assume that mayock didn’t sit down with him first either. I’d assume he likely did. Agreed 100% that Mayock should have kept his mouth closed and kept it out if media. Never like management spouting off - like Jerry Jones just did with Zeke.

Doesn't this quote from the article fly in the face of "Miami emerges as the leader..."? Or am I missing something? "We don’t know all of the intricate details as to why Clowney fired his longtime agent. What we do know is that in the past few days, Tony Pauline was told that Texans head coach Bill O’Brien has been pushing a trade to Miami because of his relationship with Brian Flores. However, Jadeveon Clowney does not want to go to Miami because he would prefer to play for a contender."

Oh hell yeah! Are we doing an egg draft?!?! I’m in! #1 draft pick - over easy.

I’m with you on not giving up a first round pick. Next draft will be loaded with WR’s in the first and we need one. Having said that, I’m on board with what some of the vet posters here are saying - mid round pick and player(s). Another aspect to think about is Brady. We HAVE to invest heavily in our D as there is no way we will match NE’s offense until he retires or falls off the cliff. That could be another 2-3 years.

Yes - see teams with smothering defense and average offense, they have won their share of SB’s. We could wait until we have the greatest show on turf but I’m not holding my breath. I think our O will be at least average to above average this year (with an above average run game).

Yeah -some aren’t big guy.

Out kicker stinks!!! You need to make the 48 yarder. Him and Murphy need to sit.

And Singletary can catch!! Barkley dropped it in the bucket to him. Not an easy catch. Holy cow am I getting pumped for this team.

Barkley is looking awesome!!!

Live in the DMV. Crazy talent. Gonzaga College High School has THE premiere QB (and probably one of the best teams in the country) Look up the tape on their win against Dematha HS last year - an epic game(I was there). Alabama and Clemson both came knocking on Caleb’s door last year after the win.....and he was a sophomore (he’s the Zaga QB). If I’m reading it right, Christian is headed to Dematha?
