  1. Frank Clark has overachieved his draft position whenever he isn't being arrested.
  2. The Marlins stadium was basically 100% publicly financed with the promise the Marlins would spend on players. They loaded up that year when they signed the likes of Jose Reyes, Mark Buehrle, and made a run at Pujols and then got rid of everybody after a year after they got their new stadium. That had to of made a lot of fans mad.
  3. Probably ownership. You have an ownership that randomly splurges and then purges the next season. They are then forced to trade their good young players like Cabrera when they become costly. It's got to be a frustrating team to follow.
  4. I wouldn't say the Jaguars are sustained comfortably. They play one home game a year in London and were always used as fodder to move to Los Angeles.
  5. While everyone is slobbering over the Cleveland Browns, don't forget it was the Lions very own John Dorsey who laid the foundation for this new juggernaut.
  6. In California, the rate is still roughly 1% of your taxable value. In California, they cannot raise your taxable value more than 2% per year. People who live in their homes for a long time, pay lower property tax. This was also fun because we would get a customer who bought a house and the previous owner lived there 20 years. The taxable value is reset based on the new market value so the taxes are a lot higher and a supplemental bill is sent to the new owner. Every states has a different way of doing it and when they collect. The majority of our customers were from California so I remember them the most.
  7. Urban Meyer is turning into a disaster.
  8. Trump lost 4 million jobs, 600,000 people died, murders increased, added about 8 trillion in debt., those are some facts I wouldn't be proud of. Surprised people actually voted for more of that.
  9. Move on coming from the people who still think Trump is going to be re-instated president and continue to audit a vote that happened nearly a year ago.
  10. Michigan has an SEV value. If the market value of your house is $250k, than the SEV is $125K. Other states do it differently. My millage rate is 6.7% so the taxes would be 6.7% of $125k if that house were in Michigan. California, for example, does it by full value. Their rate is roughly 1% so the taxes would be 1% of $250k. I spent a lot of time managing taxes and made mental notes of what blue states had the lowest property taxes in case I needed to flee.
  11. Disabled vet exemptions usually don't apply to non-homestead. She could only claim it on one of the properties and it's smart she chose the one in Illinois. I tend to find Illinois property taxes are higher than Virginia.
  12. I'm a fan of masks. Took my cat to the vet and ate a breakfast burrito before I left. It had some peppers and when I got home I realized one was stuck on my teeth. I was mortified that I went in public like that but realized I wore my mask so no one ever knew. BTW, my vet has signs on his front window that say "no mask, no service" and "if you don't like wearing a mask, you really won't like a ventilator."
  13. They need a receiver in the worst way. I would use the Rams pick on a receiver and the Lions pick on the best defensive player available regardless of position. They could use a playmaker on defense at every level of the defense.
  14. That breaks down to $7,500 a year. In my neighborhood, if my home was worth $250k, my taxes would be $8,400 a year. That is using an SEV of $125k. It also depends to if she is homestead or non-homestead. She has a house in Virginia so one of them would need to be non-homestead.
  15. In regards to Duckworth, I've dealt with thousands of disabled veteran exemptions. Every state does it. From my experience, I saw more people in red states like Texas using the disabled vet exemption.
  16. I used to work in the escrow department of a mortgage company and managed the tax files for customers. Michigan is on the higher end of property tax rates along with other upper Midwest states like Wisconsin and Minnesota. I'm assuming their home is quite expensive and has a high assessed value. I've found Illinois to not be any higher than Michigan when given similar taxable values. Contrast to popular belief, California is actually pretty low on property tax. Their tax rate is only around 1% but the taxable value on homes is so much higher. You would pay roughly double in property tax on a similarly assessed house in Michigan. Texas is another state I was surprised by how high the property tax was given their lack of regulations and terrible power grid.
  17. This feels like the worst game of the season. The previous three games they seemed to get better but this one feels like a dud. Four trips down inside the 10 and zero points.
  18. I'm not sure that was an overthrow. I don't think St Brown finished his route.
  19. When Goff is forced to throw the ball downfield, he's a lot better.
  20. It's basically money counting against the cap from players they have cut or traded. Stafford accounts for a big chunk of that dead cap.
  21. Only dead cap they have next year currently is Jamie Collins and Tavai. I somewhat expect Flowers to be cut in the offseason to add to the dead cap.
