  1. Yes, the taxes are relative to the benefits provided for sure. The challenge under these systems, it seems to me, is keeping the agencies providing the services accountable to provide quality care. Who has the power to hold a governmental agency accountable? But that’s really the challenge under any system it seems to me. For example, with corporations wielding so much (bought and paid for) power in the US, and there often only being a small handful of choices (take health insurance, for example) I’m not sure these private institutions are held very accountable either. Total sidebar/mind dump… But yes, I agree with your main point: if you receive quality service that you actually utilize then the higher taxes can be a wash.
  2. Right, Toronto. And can you imagine trying to attract free agents with Canadian taxes? What a mess. If a team ever ends up in a country with high taxes, if I were the NFL, I would try to negotiate with that country to pay a different tax rate (maybe an average of all other teams) by arguing that being competitive is more lucrative.
  3. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/126966963/ralph-cookerly-wilson And they didn’t sell to Trump or Bon Jovi… could you imagine? Not a political statement, but I don’t think the team would be the same if they had.
  4. Not a super sexy signing…
  5. The positions I feel a deep need for are in the Kama Sutra… oh, and a candidate for WR1! But in a serious note, no, unfortunately we do not have any pass rushers that can wreck an offense’s game plan…
  6. Wow… immature behavior taken to another level. That kind of crap doesn’t win friends and influence people. I hadn’t heard this part of the story.
  7. Jeez, the ancestor that first got stuck with this name must of been a real pill…
  8. I chalk it up to the fact that he’s a big kid in a man’s body. He left Bama because he was homesick (apparently) and is returning to Bama because he went on spring break with some of his buddies (supposedly) and they talked him into it. Homesick. Peer pressure. Indecisive. I say with no malice, this is kid stuff. And the rules allow for this right now.
  9. Just for today, I think I’m gonna trust the process a little bit more.
  10. I see a wiseacre has entered the assembly of elders!
  11. If you look at the gallery of pictures there are no clear shots of Tyler’s face. Musta pissed off the cameraman! Haha
  12. Yes, we absolutely should have. I feel strongly that if Fields had better coaching he MAY make a significant leap. I followed him closely in college and know he has real upside.
  13. I’d be surprised if it were for anything else. They have likely had discussions with a team higher on the board and are looking to get into a particular spot. Depending on what what pick they climb to, I imagine they must be comfortable with the top… maybe 4 QB prospects. Finally, I want to see where Justin Fields ends up (New England? Las Vegas? Minnesota?) and how that reshuffles the deck.
  14. He won’t be there. But, yes, due to his special skill set, I would take him. Too good of a player to pass up. Let Joe Brady figure it out. With that much talent it really wouldn’t be that hard. Find the favorable matchup and bleed it till they stop it.
  15. Stop, you’re making me fall in love! My favorite Patriot QB by far! This is the most beautiful thing I’ve seen today… a close second, the sunrise… hahaha Serious question though, why is Mac Jones, with long hair added, prettier than his own mother? Lots of complex feelings here… 😂 GO BILLS!
  16. And besides, it really depends upon the Bills board and how they’ve stacked it. They *could* have the receivers ranked very differently than the internet consensus. For example, maybe they have Legette as their third guy. Maybe they want to bet on his measurables, for example. Who knows… I just hope they get help for Josh early and their pick pans out
  17. Such a trade would likely be contingent on who is available on draft night. That said, I think it likely that the top three guys are gone by that point (Harrison, Odunze, Nabers). If so, is Thomas worth a pick that high? Brock Bowers certainly is, but I don’t think he will be an option for us.
  18. This thread is stupid… I like it!
  19. I can see the temptation to apply “crushing force”… but it’s still a no-no Mr. Hill!
  20. If you close your eyes - as a fan of the NFL - and pretend the NIL doesn’t exist the only difference you are probably going to see is a better NFL product in the long run. Draftable kids are going to stay longer and be even more refined. They all have to come out eventually. We will see them in the pros. Besides players that would otherwise be drafted high, and decide to stay for some reason, thereby risking their health, I think it will ultimately be a good thing for the vast majority of players. Especially after things get smoothed out with better rules.
  21. I’m gonna hold a seance and interview the *real* John Butler…
  22. Peeling out in his 87 Camero!
