Trump made it official today. "I am removing secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy and appointing Tiger Woods to take his place. With all of Tiger's experience in the field of vehicle crashes it make him more qualified to hold the position than Sean Duffy could ever possibly be. Thank you for your attention to this matter."

Re: Iranian War PitDAWG 04/01/26 05:00 PM
I won't do a yes or no but I will give some historical context to try and help put it in perspective.

The time between World War I and World War II, known as the interwar period, lasted approximately 21 years, from the armistice on November 11, 1918, to the invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939. This era was marked by economic instability, the rise of totalitarian regimes, and the failure of international appeasement to prevent further global conflict.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was formed on April 4, 1949. There hasn't been a world war since.

We are supposed to learn from history rather than repeating the same mistakes from the past.

Re: New Rule Changes for 2026 FATE 04/01/26 04:42 PM
By Competition Committee; to eliminate the kicking team’s incentive to intentionally kick the ball out of bounds when kicking off from the 50-yard line.

For those as confused as I was...

Touchbacks (downed in end zone, out of bounds or through endzone) are spotted at the 30 yard line. When the kicking team is kicking off from the 50, it made more sense to just kick the ball out of bounds, which resulted in possession being started from the 25 instead (ball placement is 25 yards from the spot of the kick).

Now, specifically for balls being kicked off from the 50, touchbacks will be spotted at the 20.

Lakers smack the Cavs last night as LeBron passes Kareem to become the all-time wins leader.

This man will be 42 this year. Plays like this blow my mind.

Re: Republican Right Wing Nuts - Part ???? PitDAWG 04/01/26 03:15 PM
Actually they don't. Why do you think it was being investigated and that these two crews were grounded in the first place? All flights are pre approved and orders given by their superiors. They can't just go show off at Aunt Jenny's house because it isn't too far out of their way.

In order for them to do this would have taken pre approval from their superiors.

Re: Browns GM Andrew Berry: ‘No rule against extending’ Deshaun Watson’s contract; QB battle is performance-based PitDAWG 04/01/26 02:19 PM
I could buy that if we hadn't witnessed what we all saw. The QB we had over the past few years that actually had the arm to throw the deep ball was Flacco. When Flacco was here Stefanski called plays allowing him to air it out. From that it appeared to me that Stefanski's play calling was dependent on the talent of his QB's and not a set in stone system that was never adjusted according to who was playing the QB position. If anything sometimes I got the feeling that he let QB's throw too much. I'm not sure how that would impede a QB's ability to perform.

The part that was so funny is he made it sound like these two QB's just went rogue and ignored Stenfanski's play calling and did what they wanted. That's hilarious.

Yes, but, they need 713 innings which is an out over 79 games. The qualifying states, they count the innings towards the position they use the most, so it is nearly impossible. He would have to have the same amount of innings at both positions AND have the minimum number of innings played at each position. It would be an anomaly that would never be repeated if he did it.

Edit: Never mind, I just saw you said either position, not both positions. That is a little more likely actually.

Re: Trump administration denounces CNN for airing messages from Iranian leaders PitDAWG 03/31/26 02:27 PM
An all out admission that this administration is at war with and thinks that using the power of the government through the FCC and official government websites to silence anything negative about them is somehow not against the costutution. History has seen this movie before.............

FCC’s Brendan Carr: Trump is ‘winning’ against ‘fake news media’

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chair Brendan Carr on Friday said at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) that President Trump is “winning” his feud against the “fake news media.”

Carr told the audience that other politicians “gave way to the legacy national media,” unlike Trump, who the FCC chief said “smashed the façade.”

“President Trump took on the fake news media and President Trump is winning,” he continued. “Look at the results so far. PBS defunded. NPR defunded. Joy Reid, gone from MSNBC. Sleepy-Eyed Chuck Todd, gone. Jim Acosta, gone. John Dickerson, gone. [Stephen] Colbert is leaving. CBS is under new ownership, and soon enough CNN is going to have new ownership as well.”

Paramount Skydance is helmed by David Ellison, the son of Trump ally and Oracle CEO Larry Ellison. The company purchased CBS News last year and tapped conservative writer Bari Weiss as editor-in-chief. The parent company also won its bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, which oversees CNN, in February.

David Ellison has said the CNN’s editorial strategy will serve a more politically “diverse” audience; similar remarks were made previously about CBS News.

Carr added on Friday that “we’re not at the point yet –– you know, waving the ‘mission accomplished’ flag,” but repeated that the president is “winning.”

In December, Carr suggested that the FCC was not independent from the administration, despite the website previously labeling it as an “independent government agency responsible for implementing and enforcing America’s communications law and regulations.” The word “independent” was removed after the agency’s chief testified before lawmakers.

He recently threatened to crack down on broadcasters over their coverage of the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran. He wrote earlier this month that broadcasters could have problems renewing their licenses due to their coverage, accusing them of “running hoaxes and news distortions.”

Trump’s war on the news media goes back several years, first amplified during his first campaign for the presidency in 2016. The president has accused much of legacy news media as being “fake news” and has preferred conservative media with reporting favorable toward him and both of his administrations.

Following his return to the White House last year, Trump warned mainstream media outlets that they were “on notice” after ABC and Paramount Global, before it merged with Skydance, settled lawsuits with the administration.

The White House also released a “media bias” tracker on its website in November to accuse news reports of omitting context and claim that they include lies, mischaracterization, bias or malpractice. It features an “offender hall of shame” headlined by The Washington Post, MS Now, CBS News, CNN, The New York Times, Politico and the Wall Street Journal.

I don't know what you mean?

There probably isn't a team in the league who wouldn't want Myles. If you are talking about value to us from a pick standpoint, obviously a team with a pick in the late 20's or more would have to pony up more over a team projected to have a top 10 pick.

You have to remember, if and when we trade Myles, we would be trading him. We wouldn't be including any of our own picks.

The bare minimum trade for Myles should be three number 1 picks. Myles wants to be traded to a contender not a loser. 3 first round picks from say Seattle are pretty much garbage vs say 3 from the jets. Myles can block any trade to a team that sucks and has picks worth taking. I just can't see ANY team offering what it would take to get Myles that Myles would agree to go to. Thus he is untradeable.

Thx.

What a day walking around and my mind kept repeating. "My daughter is a doctor."

Her brother I coached in baseball for over ten years. We shared some great moments together.

Work was always a method to make money. Being a father has always been my joy.
