Ever wonder what would have happened if Nix does not get pranked and recorded? Maybe EJ still gets drafted, but Fitz doesn't get cut, Fitz outplays him.....and???

i will have a good crew of Eagles fans as well..make sure you sign up for the TBD tailgate, Hammers lot is great and there will be plenty of Eagles fans for us to make of!!!

arhh..yes you are prolly right. The game Rex refused to bench Taylor( with his $18M injury guarantee and sore knee) gets fired, and we get the Whaley presser that doomed him to0!!! Did Cardale stick with the Chargers?

what part of "somewhat a victim of circumstance" translates to franchise QB? If you think playing for Marrone and Hacket is not a bit of a circumstance for a QB we will have to disagree. The guy was decent his first year, made rookie mistakes sure..and then was .500 in his second year and gets benched. Orton comes in a goes 1 game over 500 with the same group..and wins with D just like EJ did. And with certainty, EJ had one of the worst 5-minute stretches of football ever played by an NFL QB in London...but had the team in the lead with 4 minutes to play. That was basically his last action in the NFL I don't think EJ was ever going to be a quality starting QB in this league..but he is a damn site better than i would think then half the backups.

I share your thoughts! I always liked EJ..somewhat a victim of circumstance

Really? short term play? I am convinced oil will be trading at less than $15/barrel in 5 years, just have no clue how to make that long range bet

TY, obviously you know a lot more about that stuff than I!!!!

I may be wrong, but so much that goes into the natural search ranking is total impressions, links to other sites, clicks etc. More people lean left, more media leans left, hense CNN, NYT, and WAPO naturally will be top of the list. Maybe someone that has a much deeper understanding of the rankings and SEO can weigh in, but this seems to not offer any substance, only the recognition that more people get their news from those sources than other sources. I mean, all I hear is the MSM leans left, it is the entirety of this thread, so those search results make perfect sense to me

all depends on the guarantee. a $500K signing bonus, with vet min guarantee, means a 1 year deal..and if he is good they have him locked up for the 2 more. If not, they cut him

new one smart guys

that is the big unknown..and the ethical dilemma many companies face when talking about AI. But self driving electric cars that i can call on a moment's notice so i no longer have to own a car??? That's heaven in my book. I have a 2016 Tahoe, and a 2017 Explorer..and I can almost bet they will be the last cars I ever own...it will be much easier and cheaper to ride on demand

really? I cant wait. With the tech (LIDAR) becoming cheaper and more available Consider the $4,000 cost was $75K just 2 years ago, and you see where this is headed. I think in less than 5 years, every car sold will be electric and self-driving..and robotaxi's like Lyft and Uber autonomous cars mean car sales fall through the floor, as do oil stocks and countries that have economies based on oil. 90 percent of vehicle traffic will be autonomous. Can't wait for this stuff , now so my 9 hour drive to Buffalo for home games means I can watch the lady on pornhub and do stuff! that will make me go blind!!

That's awesome!!! I have never even made an eagle, let alone a double! And never had a hole in one either! My best shot ever was prolly in a scramble in a fairly good size group of guys on a golf trip where first paid winners about $350 per head. One of the different rules was each team member had the ability to tee from the ladies on 1 hole. I saved mine for the par 5 18th, from men's tee no way to carry water, but from women's tee became a 250 or so carry..and man I nailed thing so pure I cleared by a good 20 yards , and that sucker must have rolled out another 40 yds or so...which is just a pure monster drive for me! We eagled from there( used my 2nd shot too, but i missed the putt), won the trny!!!! Certainly helped we had one in the middle short of the water!!!! I played there once WAY back in da day..like 95 or so. Fun course!

what's funny is if the puck goes off the mesh, play is dead and stopped, just like if someone goes offside...unless the refs miss it and then a pass is completed, and then the play is a ok..replay cannot overturn it. You know, just like the offside replay ? Sports league always overreact to the one egregious miss, just the NFL is doing with PI. Cant wait to see JA hit Brown with a 65 yd play, no flags, clearly in, but now we gotta wait for a replay challenge for offensive PI..just kick me in the nads now. THERE WILL BE NO CELBRATING IN SPORTS!!!!!!!

@DanteSharks are now my team...think they have the best chance of beating whoever comes out of the East..and that's all I really care about

okay, looks like Trippett and Gronberg out...so who we going to? Marlies need to get swept, and fast. I need answers if that boy in our plans

very interesting topic. I am at a conference for Sr leaders of engineering companies in the US( , and, and man, older and whiter and male(r) you will never see at any conference. Anyways, they had this dude in from Northup doing a session on Civil Engineering in the future..really interesting topic will post at length about later. One of the areas he discussed is Arctic sea routes are opening up. As he said , you can debate the reasons, but the first container ship from China to the US just made it through the Arctic 2 months ago. He went on about the all implications of that, but one was that China owns most of the coastline of Greenland....and this presents all kind of issues for the US... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-46386867 just found it interesting as hell...lots of other cool stuff too will post in next day or so when i

oh brother..you may have even had some of my sous vide at a tailgate. I now do a lot of things sous vide, put em in the fridge overnight, then smoke em for 3 hours. Great BBQ, not near the pain in the butt of a 9 hour smoke! And 1-2 inches thick center cut pork chops in the bath for 75 minuted followed by a sear on a chimney starter is awesome! least i got me some teeth ya old fart. There is a Reason they call it a tooth ( singular)brush in Ohio

cause you old and cranky like @Augie and @mead107, now, you may not be as hard on the eyes as those two old bastads, ...

Only if you want to know the least fun things for old people to do in TO

i disagree a bit, but for sake of argument, let's say you are correct. We are basically at zero unemployment now. Where are you going to find workers to train? Boomers retiring at a faster pace then Gen Z are entering the workforce. Millions of open jobs can and will be, a negative effect on the economy for a myriad of reasons. Why not immigrants?

debated where to put this, but think it can play in here. I know, WAPO and everything, but one cannot argue the numbers. As I stated upthread, many many jobs will go unfilled due to lack of skills, and skills training, especially in jobs that Americans no longer want...and that is a real threat to the economy . An interesting look at Germany and what is happening there with immigration and skill training. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/angela-merkel-welcomed-refugees-to-germany-theyre-starting-to-help-the-economy/2019/05/03/4bafa36e-6b60-11e9-bbe7-1c798fb80536_story.html?utm_term=.803ca52975f2

yep..i am not all old school; guy....but these things matter in the NHL. The Miller hit, Boychuck taking Jack out with a dirty hit last year, the same Bpychuck who broke Vaneks ankle in the playoffs with no response.. Yandle cheap shotting Skinner this year ..all with zero response from the Sabres. And all 4 teams eventually losing the season to suckitude and guys not playing for each other. I got roundly criticized by some members(hmm, hmm, @JohnC?) of this thread back in December when I said Yandle HAD to pay for that hit..that I was old, brutish, the game does need not that kind of payback,...score om the powerplay is the real revenge...no, in this league a response is required!( exception going on a major down 3 in a game 7). Vogl knew then too. https://theathletic.com/891502/2019/03/28/how-a-tuesday-night-in-december-set-a-fateful-tone-for-the-rest-of-the-sabres-season/

There are actually two "types" of revirews in horse racing 1) Inquiry..this is called for by the stewards(refs) who watch every race, almost always 3 of them..and decide if they want to sse something again. Anytime a horse falls, aotomatic inquiry. 2) Objection is filed by usually the jockey..but I guess it could be by the trainer as well, but I have never seen that in my 40years of regularly going to the track. Jockeys can be fined if deemed it was a silly objection ..don't want an objection in every race! And though these guys are competing, they are a community that needs to trust each other for their safety and well bing and so objections are rare. As a horseplayer,, an inquiry could usually go either way.., an Inquiry AND an Objection means your chances on the horse coming down are much better.. BTW, live i did not see the incident. However, as soon as the jock said..paraphasing here"my horse veered a bit a from the crowd on the turn, but i got him straighten quick", i said to my wife...oh oh, something is amiss, he is worried bout something. I think it was the right call, surprised as hell the stewards had the stones to overturn it..good for them!

awesome...just remember it is "Joberg" to all the cool kids! Duaghter is doing an internship this summer in Cape Town for 9 weeks, leaves in like 2 weeks. Her flight is brutal..like 12 to Dubai, then 8 to Cape Town
