  1. I presume he means due to inflation. Roughly , 2% inflation a year would halve the value in 20 years and that inflation rate for the US sounds right (ignoring the past several months which are an anamoly for the modern times)
  2. Fitz, Diggs, Jodie Foster
  3. Hedging would be a good strategy. Historically there have been lot of cases of shiny new toys whose luster wears off, sometimes too rapidly. IMO, his mistake was in going all in.
  4. So it is true what they say about blondes...
  5. You made me break my promise to my wife to not watch p*rn.
  6. I have thanked the stars multiple times for not putting Allen on the Patriots***. That would be seriously depressing.
  7. I agree too. Such are the decisions when you have a premium QB on the team. Let him play this year out and get younger/cheaper next year at that position. Further significant spends need to be on the OL and WR.
  8. Didnt we spend 25 years till 2020 being the whipped step child of the NFL? Things have looked up for the past 2 seasons so lets enjoy the ride. If we dont make our goal, there will be great disappointment irrespective of our excitement leading up to the big game. So, why be less happy now?
  9. Yea but how would that solve Cleveland's problem?
  10. "Are we going to go all the way this time" 😃
  11. But NJ is a two plate state
  12. Hence the addition of Johnson, Cook....
  13. Micah Hyde will go down as one of my fav Bills of all time. Dude has been rock solid for us and just goes about doing his business quietly. Hill can learn a lot from players like Hyde
  14. This "me" stuff isn't going to end well for Hill esp when the guy throwing to him is a weak armed QB
  15. How can the bolded parts NOT be of concern to Jets fans? I understand Gardner and Wilson are rookies but in low contact practices, they should show off their skills. Didnt Gardner say something to the effect of "I am the best player in the draft"?
  16. Her progress has indeed been nice. She lacks the firepower to make it to the top 3 or win a major but that is fine. She has maximized her abilities and thats what an athlete should strive for. I do like the consistency - that she reached the QF of both the majors this year. In suburbs of Chicago, outdoor courts see sparing use and as such there are few which are well maintained. Quite disappointing to see the lack of interest esp among the youth. OTOH, this past winter, I did enroll in an indoor facility which had 14 courts (!!) and had difficulty finding court time on weekday evenings and weekend mornings. Which was pleasant to see as the courts were occupied by approximately 75%-25% youth-oldies
  17. That was the issue with the Bledsoe-led offense
  18. The safest place is on the O coaching staff of an Allen quarterbacked team
  19. That will be one of his most enduring images. In 0F weather, against the hated Pats**!!
  20. Agreed. She has maximized her potential.
  21. Winning the first would be fantastic. As with the Bills. The probability of those occuring in the near future is much higher than the Sabers lifting the Stanley 🙂
  22. I follow tennis but havent seen the rules of such schedule conflicts. My best guess is that Singles take precedence and they have a minimum time between matches for players. As for stamina, these top players practice for hours before their actual matches so it shouldnt be an issue with back to back matches. As long as JP gets time for a change, comfort break and nutrition+hydration, she should be fine to play back to back matches. Plus a doubles game doesnt sap the energy as much as a singles game. On a related note, it was another fantastic match between Nadal and Djokovic today. I just am in awe of these guys who play so hard for 4+ hours and can still sprint about the court.
  23. Thanks to all that served and serve. We mere mortals can never live up to what you do.
