  1. They only reason we got some of those guys at the price/cap hit we did, (CJGJ, Glasgow, and Mosley) was because of injury history. So if we sign guys this offseason at team-friendly contracts like last year then the probability that player has an injury history increases.
  2. If the Lions have another offseason as they did last year and don't come out with any of the marquee free agents, would you be disappointed? Would you be happy if they signed a B-tier free agent that might still be a starter, but isn't exactly going to be your 1A guy at either CB or Edge/DE/pass rusher?
  3. Hillary Clinton spent $1.4 billion in 2016 and outspent Trump by approx. $442 million. I know that Trump is in deep financial trouble and this will likely bleed over into the campaign side of things. But the last time he won he was outspent by nearly a half a billion dollars and it didn't matter.
  4. No clue if these numbers are close to being correct for St. Brown. I would imagine they are not, but those are solid overall numbers for us, depending on how the cap space is spread out. I had thought St. Brown would get 4 years at $23 million a year, so 3 at $25 million isn't that far off.
  5. See, I can play this fallacious game all day too and attack the source as you're doing. You say terrorist numbers and I attack your source as being from a corrupt, sociopathic, megalomaniac, hell bent on taking down democracy in Israel and installing himself as a dictator. The truth is, we don't seem to have great numbers out of Gaza, from an independent, non-Ministry of Health source. I don't know how accurate the MoH numbers really are. I'd be almost certain that Hamas' MoH is inflating numbers and putting a spin on them to make things look as dire as possible. I'd be almost certain there are many hundreds, maybe even thousands, or terrorists from Hamas lumped into the growing death toll. I also do not trust what Bibi's government is putting out either. Netanyahu has a reason to prolong this war as long as possible because he feels it will make him a popular, war-time President. He wants to be the Bush after 9/11 or Putin now in Ukraine. So the longer this goes and the more bad guys the IDF is alleged to have killed, the better it is for Bibi's political career. What I do believe though, because I see it on news coverage daily, is that far too many innocent civilians and especially children, are falling victim to this war in Gaza. Hundreds-of-thousands are being displaced from their homes and not being given basic human necessities. Many will die of hunger and starvation as a result of not getting basic aid and from a prolonged war. Some of that is on Hamas and some of that is on Bibi and Israel.
  6. Why should anyone believe the numbers from Jewish Trump's government? You wouldn't believe it if Donald Trump gave you numbers, why would you believe Jewish Trump? What gives Jewish Trump and his cabinet anymore credibility?
  7. Damn, Newmark had been with the organization in some capacity since 1994. The poor bastard stayed here and had to work under and suffer through Chuck Schmidt, Matt Millen, Martin Mayhew, and Bob Quinn as his GMs. At least he got a few good years under Brad Holmes at the end of his tenure.
  8. And that's a good thing and likely a result of a lot of the political pressure he's been receiving from the Arab and Muslim communities, the left base of his party, as well as international pressure from other countries.
  9. Until the most recent funding allocation to Israel, which did have some human rights conditions attached to the aid, Biden had previously opposed conditioning any military aid that was being sent over to Jewish Trump's government. CNN: Biden administration makes clear it has no plans to place conditions on military aid to Israel despite pressure from lawmakers
  10. And commanded by a known, habitual liar, with an agenda to use this war to both increase his own popularity and keep himself in power.
  11. If you support sending military aid, without condition to Israel, then yes, you are supporting Jewish Trump and what his government is doing in Gaza. How can Israel choose another leader when Jewish Trump is trying to change his country's judicial and court systems to benefit himself and keep himself in power?
  12. Jewish Trump would gladly wipe every Palestinian off the map. He even said so himself. Jewish Trump has also done nothing to stop or limit settlement expansion nor violence by settlers.
  13. So now Jewish Trump's government is a trustworthy source?
  14. So when does Levi take a big jump?
  15. Damn, man these are some cold, but emotional lyrics. A person can change, but they often have to do it on their own time and merit. You can't make a person change into what you want them to be. Substantial life changes by a person often come from their own volition. When a person is fighting and working hard to better themselves and change their habits, be good to them, embrace the changes they have made, but recognize that you may not be able to be the one to fix them along the way. If I'm a different man tomorrow You be good to that unlucky fool for me He don't know where he is Or through what color eyes he's seeing But he wouldn't hurt a thing Tell Mama, I'm out touring That any day now, I'll be coming off the road Tell my brother that I'm sorry And don't try to fix me when I'm broke
  16. I feel happy about last night's results from NY-3 with Tom Suozzi winning with a fairly comfortable margin. I do believe that is good news for Democrats and should be celebrated. However, I just can't get the 2020 US House races out of my head. In 2020 the predictions were that Democrats would hold even or possibly gain seats in the House, instead they lost seats, and in surprising areas, to terrible candidates. Seats like the California 48th district, Iowa's 1st district, South Carolina 1st district (Nancy Mace), Texas 23rd and Texas 24th districts. Nancy Mace is both ****ing dumb and crazy and still managed to pull off a win. What was the final analysis of the Democrats 2020 House losses? Was it a case of Trump ginning up GOP turnout and sinking otherwise winnable races for Dems? What are the chances of that scenario repeating itself this year in House races?
  17. Would the universities ever license their name and branding out for football to a minor league organization? Let's say the Michigan Wolverines, Michigan State Spartans, Ohio State Buckeyes, Alabama Crimson Tide, etc. were no longer NCAA colligate teams, but the names of teams in the USFL or NFL 2. Basically, the football programs turn into minor leagues for the NFL and lose any academic requirements or ties. The new minor league organization would have a player contracts, a draft, free agency, trades, professional athletes getting paid to play minor league football until they are NFL eligible, and no academic considerations whatsoever. What the universities get in return is hefty rights fees for their trademarks, a cut of all the money from tickets/merch/etc., and deal with none of the administrative headache of running a collegiate football program. The team name being licensed out by the university and maybe agreements to let the band play at the games, cheerleaders be on the sidelines, would be the only ties to the university. The university could still use football revenue to cover all of their other non-revenue sports as they do now. They also would be off the hook for having to repair or modify football stadiums as the new league would take control over that. The USFL or whatever the organization is called would get the name, likeness, band/cheerleaders, and history of the school, while separating it from the academics. The USFL Michigan Wolverines would also have their own team president, GM, player personnel people, scouts, trainers, and a coaching staff as an NFL team would. So an AD like Warde would have nothing to do with the program unless he was hired in a role there (I would hope not). The USFL would also have a legal agreement that, baring an injury exemption, no player could be in the league for over 4 years. Once a player is eligible for the NFL draft and declares that they cannot be held to their USFL contract, so as to prevent the USFL from directly competing with the NFL. Heck, the NFL could even own a majority stake in the minor league system. I'm guessing such a minor league system, with current college team names and brandings, would never work as money and egos would ruin such a collaboration or effort.
  18. We could have had a Harvard Law Professor and women who was a fierce legal advocate for consumers and consumer protections for President but her slogan was too preachy and she was seen as too smart. She also once said she was like 1/50th Native American or some ****. Instead we got Biden over Warren and here we sit. Biden it is. Sigh!
  19. As someone who was bullied a lot in school growing up, from around 7th grade through 11th grade, I am thankful there was not social media at the time. I certainly feel it would have made the bullying worse for me back then. However, in my experience, it is not true that the bullying stopped when you went home. When the bullies know your home phone number would prank call your house and make sexually explicit phone calls about having sex with your mom or other sexually explicit acts, that was bullying after school. When they'd call you just to mock the sound of your voice over the phone and then hang up real quick, that was bullying after school.
  20. The US gives approx. $3.3 billion a year in aid to Israel through the Foreign Military Financing program. I believe we can indeed condition that military aid allotted to the Israeli IDF and their iron dome missile defense system based on how they are behaving in Gaza. So to say we have no control over the situation is untrue in my eyes when we can condition the aid we give them based on their actions and actions we want them to take.
  21. He would have went for the dagger to try and win it right there. He's going for the TD no question.
  22. I have to give it to Craig Stadler though. The only coach to win both a green jacket at the Masters and a Lombardi trophy at the Super Bowl.
  23. 58 Super Bowls played and our tan hasn't made one of them.
  24. 7 FGs in this game. OT and the last few minutes of the 4th were about all that was super exciting tonight.
  25. I'm sorry, but outside of OT this was an average game, filled with FGs. I'm not at all excited for another Kansas City and Mahomes Super Bowl. And **** him for talking about adversity post game. Were he a Lions fan he'd know about adversity.
