would you deal #34 for deebo? on the one hand, youre getting a known commodity who excelled in shanahan's offense. you're likely drafting a wide receiver sometime and you hope the grow up to be deebo in 3 years. this gives you a sure thing at that position. otoh, its costing you $25 million per year to get it over having a cost controlled option. the team is not one receiver away from contention. your qb is still average to below average and might not be able to take advantage of deebo's strengths. deebo may not be a culture fit. it may cost you more than just #34.

depends what they have to give up....of course.

sure i would. i didnt believe all that shit i heard from people who said airlines were cancelling flights because their employees were protesting vaccines and i dont think theyre cancelling a bunch of flights because some employees got covid because they dropped the mask mandate. did some employees protest the vaccine mandate? sure. will some employees get covid now? sure. is either a big deal in the grand scheme of things? i dont think so. its time to get back to normal. wear a mask if you want, but i dont think people should be required to do so anymore. the risk is no longer that great.

i clicked on your link because i was curious. and my assumption was correct. click. bait.

wife has a lot of incentive to lie too. especially if he had life insurance.

i didnt say the article was fake, it is click bait. how many airlines are there in "europe"? does the article say? does it compare how many have had cancellations becuase of covid, or just cite 2, one of which that has had some and the other who really hasnt had many? its click bait for people like you who have politicized covid and apparently have no risk tolerance for others (considering you said you never fly, correct?). and you clicked on it. mission accomplished.

and again, this is about risk tolerance. we have mitigation measures for covid, the hospitals are not overrun, we have vaccines and boosters that lower the chance of serious illness. the time for measures like masks in all public spaces is past.

did you read it? let me show you: 1) the headline says "airlines that dropped mask mandate now sufferinf staff shortages due to covid 19". the article references two airlines. one of which has had barely any cancellations more than normal. 2) the article CITES noted twitter troll eric fengl ding as some sort of expert. According to Dr. Eric Feigl-Ding, an epidemiologist and health economist, such flight cancellations were all but guaranteed once passengers and crew members took off their masks. "So damn predictable — UK govt drops restrictions, airlines like @easyJet drops masks ... and less than 2 weeks later ... huge spike in pilots and flight attendants out sick with #COVID19 unable to work, and 120 flights cancelled! Airline CEOs asked for this," he said on Twitter. **** that, my friend, is the definition of click bait. its a headline designed to grab your attention, but the article itself doesnt support the outrageous headline.

its a click bait article that attracted the right audience.

so he walked across a major freeway and got hit by TWO cars? he was either committing suicide or he was high as a kite or drunk as a skunk.

i think he's just using it as leverage to get more money out of san fran.

lets bring this thread full circle and trade decker for deebo.

that show is ridiculous and totally false on so many levels. i still watch it though. its a real slander to jerry west, but that lawsuit is going nowhere and probably was filed only to get west's story front and center. i love the idea that the LAKERS were some loser franchise that never won anything and had to be dragged out of the gutter by jerry freaking buss and his grand idea to draft magic johnson. the team won 50 games the year before and had freaking kareem abdul jabbar on it. and buss didnt eve draft magic! cooke did. i mean, jerry west drafted magic and everyone on the planet knew that the lakers were drafting magic. they make the story out like they were going to fire everyone if they didnt beat boston and that they just lost to detroit and indy. that never happened (they did beat boston but they also beat detroit and indy), they were one of the top teams all year long and favorites in the west. sheesh. i laugh at this show with my wife and she asks me why. i say, "they make the LOS ANGELES LAKERS out to be some underdog story and jerry west (the guy who helped make them such a winning team as a player and an executive) as some loser who was dragging them down." the greatest or second best franchise in nba history as an underdog loser. its amazing. but it's something to watch. poor cookie, she's really in for a surprise in a few seasons...

i have no basis to write berggren off other than he was drafted by the previous regime. so i hope youre right.

some wise young poster named chas once warned about building your team around young pitching given their propensity for injuries and flameouts...

he looked terrible when they played ol miss. that said, its all about projection with him. he can run and he has a rocket arm. if you think you can teach him to play qb, he could be lamar jackson. he could also be jordan love.

i go back and forth on who to pick so much. it reminds me that i dont really know what im talking about. lol.

our "conquest of florida" trip continues.

i hope they all can but i doubt any of them can.

i dont like him either but he's cheap and has little to no trade value. maybe kenny wants him in edmonton?

get a true #2 center and pair them with ras and vrana. hope that ras gets better this offseason with his physicality and balance (he's progressed a lot in the last month). having a big physical dude screening the goalie for vrana would be nice.

what is their defense next year? seider, walman, and hronek seem like the only guys really sure to be back. maybe lindstrom as a bottom pairing cheap player. then what? do they really run with edvinsson, wallinder, and mcissac? i doubt it. they probably bring back staal. do they go nuts for klingborg or lindholm? at forward where are they? larkin, bert, raymond, ras, fabbri, vrana. all back for sure unless bert gets dealt. then what? no one else is especially valuable and can be easily replaced. veleno and zadina still have some projectability. it would be hard to trade them because youre not likely to get good value since theyve played so poorly so far. you probably roll with them next year and hope they progress like ras has progressed the last month.

i still have serious doubts about berggren. any holland draftees are sus. soft "playmaking" winger who cant score and gets physically bullied off the puck. worst case scenario is usually what happens to holland picks these days. soderblom probably plays in grand rapids next year. i hope edvinsson can shine in TC like raymond and make the team straight outta sweden. i mean, i hope soderblom does too, but he probably needs a year in GR. wallinder's progress is exciting. maybe he comes over to GR next year too? theyre really one more off season away from being able to splurge. but i kinda want them to get a #2 center this year in order to not waste vrana like they did this year. his shot is so good.

they either need to put vrana with larkin or obtain a true #1A/#2 center. suter is - at best - a #3. and vrana and zadina dont work because zadina is a smaller, inferior version of vrana. nobody on that line gets pucks in corners. maybe they hope ras grows into a center role? a big guy who can get the puck and give it to vrana? but he's too slow, imo. hertl would have been good but he's gone. not sure anyone else out there is worth signing for the wings unless they think getting rid of blashill will make a big difference. trocheck? strome? can forsberg play center?

that stanley johnson pick will never not hurt me. at least luke kennard ended up being a decent nba player, but not picking booker just killed this team. fuck stan van gundy.
