he might have been more famous, but for his failure to communicate.

Well it means he managed to salvage it despite his fate of being drafted by the Lions. But the common factor with all three of these guys is that the took a bigger nickle to stay in Det (or in Suh's case in Miami, which was also not a place to go to win ) instead of getting out sooner - so sure no sympathy is warranted. It's probably no accident the GOAT has never tried to be the highest paid QB. You can center your chase on the rings or the dollars - only occasionally do they line up together.

Not accepting verified positive tests does seem pointless. But when all you need to do to get around someone else's dumbness is just get the damn shot, it doesn't get you off the hook to me.

He wouldn't have ridden Matt Stafford's if he had gotten one in Det? Of course he's not the player he was at 25 but Suh's numbers in 2020 were fine - 44 tackles isn't chopped liver. Has-beens don't start 16 games for the SB winner that had a top 10 scoring D.

If you want rare - in a 17 game season 3-11-3 is now possible.

Germans were once pretty mean to Norway, won't hurt them to be nice to them from now on....

Um, define success? Suh does has a ring now and fair shot at a second. (He's also doubled his career scoring Tampa! ) And no accounting for the fact that apparently Calvin is some kind of idiot. 🤷‍♂️

How much is a kWhr worth if it's a kWhr not tied to being nice to Vladdy?

With the tiny little exception that money or not, any great player can't help but feel his career a little wasted when spent on a perennial loser.

Paul Ryan is a putz. Always was, always will be. He gained his 15 minutes of fame by wowing a segment of know-nothing journalists with a level of know-nothingness just slightly less than their own.

there will be at least some segments of the Euro politic who will think this is great because it is more incentive to get off fossil - it could even be if Germany actually has a workable plan to get off fossil.

Putin must remember how much the military involvement in Afghanistan and even the Caucasus cost Russia. But OTOH, if you've gone to the expense of moving 170000 ground troops you've done it to generate a credible threat -- and also to see how his idea of 're-uniting' greater Russia is playing in Russia itself. Also I think in Putin's case you have moved them to put yourself into a position to let yourself be goaded into using them - to set up a situation even in his own mind where the West has 'forced his hand' and is therefore the responsible party to the bloodshed.

Libertarianism should never be more than phase you pass through as you figure the world out. To remain there is arrested intellectual development. Or in cases like the Kochs, just a convenient self serving propaganda framework to push.

Ross probably had a sense of something familiar that he never identified....

Who can forget the Avocado toast thread?

IDK - haven't heard this scenario described anywhere else.

LOL - the one day I don't see the 'Record'. Sounds like a white elephant to me. And quite the scale back from the plan for a 14 acre project at the St. Antione site to 3 acres in 'the District'. Mr Ross is apparently so hot to have his name on another building that whether it makes sense for the U is a minor concern. At least with the current siting they can sell it back to WSU after Ross dies.

Could this be the reincarnation of Ross's project? There was a story a few day ago that UM now has sole ownership of the Rackham bldg at Farnsworth near the Museum/Library area and they are going to spend 40 million to rehab it for use as what sounds like a campus extension service but it included no news about the failed UM Ross/Gilbert innovation center. I had read somewhere else that were weren't any other tracts in the size range of the Gratiot/St Antione Site (14 acres) available in DT area - that while Ilitch et al hold a good deal of developable land, nothing was contiguous in that size range. That surprised me.

What happens in a lot of regular season NBA games before the 4th doesn't mean much.

I see the likely end game as once everyone has had it or been immunized it will fade from significance as a public health crisis. As it morphs it will be dealt with using updated boosters and probably some kind of ongoing booster schedule will be developed. There will be some low background of uniquely sensitive individuals or those for whom vaccination doesn't work and it will always remain a risk for them, but as a mass public health issue those numbers will be low enough not to impact normalcy. Until we get there, those that continue to resist vaccination will get it and develop their resistance the hard way, or they will die.

yeah - he's still being a PITA, but at least he's not so much a particular risk to the rest of the team. Maybe Blash should just put him on the 3rd line so Larkin and Raymond can settle in with someone.

meh - now that he's been infected he is no worse than someone who has been vaccinated once. He took a foolish risk to get there but got away with it.

So everyone assumes Putin's Russian conscripts will just swamp the Ukraine army, and maybe with good reason, but what examples do we to have of the recent fighting trim of Russian ground troops?

interesting point
