Agree it is not essential, but it it tilts the playing field in your favor. Brady is an exception , as his $15m per season puts him behind every single stinking staring QB on their 2nd contract( I think, but maybe wrong). So New England gets value way above replacement, and gets value way above cap number. Which you just cannot expect a team friendly deal from every other QB. Eli was certainly first year under new rules, and I think as the rules come into affect, the thought process on how to build a team has as well. All of McBeanes moves point to this. Tre White over Gilmore Dawkins over Cordy zae/ rookie this year over Sammy rookie QB( fingers crossed) / cheap bridge guy in McCarron $46 million dead cap this year, all things point to him building the team this way.

@The Poojer might be the only one who cares, but went to the new Hardywood in West Creek last night for their soft opening. Holy moly is that place huge, and beautiful. Going to great place for beers, foods, and music. They are making their "distribution" beers there, sours and small batch at the original place in Scotts Addition. @Mr Infoknows the big wigs there, we need to get him to line up a TBD special tour!

agreed!

Here is where i believe Brooks logic is flawed. As he says, he was taught scouting and drafting philosophy by " Mike Holmgren, Ted Thompson, John Schneider and Scot McCloughan -- all of whom were mentored by Ron Wolf during their time with the Green Bay . You know what they all had in common..not having a rookie wage scale. So when you drafted a QB high back then, not only was your draft cooked, but so was your cap. Teams that win now( outside NE) do so with exceptional value ( rookie contracts) at high-value positions like QB, CB, LT, and WR. That is why drafting Barkey high makes zero sense from a cap and team building perspective. His value over replacement is not as great as his value over his cap number. Barkley goes in the top 10, he will be paid like a top 5 RB in the league. Darnold, Rosen, Allen go in the top 10, they are paid like a bottom 6 QB in the league. And if they flame out, does not kill your cap number. He mentions Gabbert, Ponder, Locker in the article, every hear of any of these teams being handcuffed by the cap cause they paid the first round QB? Ever hear a Bills fan saying drafting EJ was a massive drain on our ability to sign guys?> Nope and that's why you need to take bigger swings and risks at QB, the reward those first 5 years if they hit is just too great to pass up. Its a different world, and analytics will drive these decisions, and cap and cheap rookie contracts at value positions absolutely drive decsions

Well, I had them to win the North last year at 33-1...just a slight bit off! the win totals will be out after the draft, and you will NOT get a good deal on the Browns. Lots of folks jumping on them. Thye are now the hot "sneaky good" team, which obviously means they are not "sneaky" anymore. I predict the line at 6 1/2 win total, but a huge vig on the over..something like - 160 to win 100. Bookmakers know this huge groundswell of the "the Browns are going to surprise and be really good" is out there and will entice you like hell to bet the over...be very weary!!!!!

HAHA..does this make anyone else laugh?

$46 million in dead money in 18 i read...yes, I would say he is clearing up the cap.

I just don't understand how they could trade down for more picks..they have 4 in the top 35 now, 7 in the top 101, and 12 overall

I am not a huge skiier, but I have now wasted an hour watching videos of this place! Holy hell I would be pooping my pants if my ski tips came within two feet of the top of that..no way could i actually go DOWN that.

Huh? Fish tacos are strange to people? First I have heard that

not sure about pro, but that Oleary dude got pooped can from some college job for lying on his resume no?

Thx GBID..interesting read

Riding "the shoot" on the Three Sisters Islands above the Falls ..would have to really try to get into the main current, but still into getting the water about200 yds from the brink of the falls ...not brilliant that's for damn sure

That is what I dream of as well! Watching porn on the8 hr trip to watch the Bills!

that's what it looked like..but that's from a camera..can the human eye detect movement or a reflection etc better than the camera is my only question. I would tend to think not, but I just don't know. I always think of golf when we can see just fine on TV, but the announcers are saying the golfers cant see the ball..something about opening the avature of the camera...would think these rigs be the same.

From that video, no way a human avoiding that person either. Maybe the human eye detects her better in the night, that is my only question. And, I will still take a self driving car over a texting human 100% of the time. I want one today...and a umpah lumpa!

Mead, had you asked this question on this message board more responses. http://www.ez2chat.com/60Plus.html

Yea! Just listened to the clip above..Housley saying only 10 morw periods in this building(9 now) ..trust me Phil, fans wish it were zero. Petition the league to move all games to road games. BTW, getting pissed and calling out the effort in game 73 matters not to me, should have been doing that in game 6 when your season still mattered and everyone knew it was going down the crapper fast. But it was all sunshine back then. I know this dude ain't going anywhere and these players are the real fault, but I ain't so confident in him either.

That is the question no..that why I was somewhat facetiously saying "ALL I HAVE to DO" is send them highly confidential information ..yikes!!!!

so I just need to send coinbase a brokerage statement and w-2? Still kinda pissed bout the 2%...i dunno, that seems high to me for a simple asset allocation. Need to do some more research. Also be interesting to know what kind of interest they are getting in this, how they are going to buy the underlying assets, the timing of the buys etc. If someone knows how that works, I am all ears!!!!!

I have registered to get info on the Coinbase Index Fund, looks like it has not started trading yet. 2% management fee seems like a lot for only having 4 assets in the fund. Quarterly withdrawals too, with at least 30 days notice. Guess that a big reason one must be an accredited investor. I see the requirements for that, but is there a process one must go through to get accredited?

cause this BTW, Bills did 1-1 in Peterman starts. Just saying.

was cool as hell, and man does that thing ever accelerate, fun to even be the passenger.

An interesting car the Tesla. My buddy has one in LA..compnay car so he does not pay for it. Loves the acceleration, but it does not have some other features that most would consider standard now on cars above say $50K in price. BTW, i am not a car guy, do not know the model, but it is about a year old and know the car cost over $100K.

I would be very wary of his intentions Promo..Just saying, watch your drink at all times
