It seems you've lost your way again. This discussion was about Covid relief and Covid tax cuts. Millions of Americans were out of their jobs during Covid through no fault of their own. They weren't "bums". I don't doubt you could cut spending. And a lot of people would suffer greatly as a result.

But the discussion is that's not what Republicans are doing and hasn't been for a long time now. Try to focus.

Right now most draft sites have Freeling as a late 1st rnd pick, with a good combine I could see him as mid 1st rnd pick (12-20 range) but it also depends on how college LTs Proctor and Lomu do at the combine and how teams view them.

Rated by who? The NFL decided that Sanders wasn't rated in the first four rounds and some teams even passed on him in the fifth round. The only people I know that have this years QB's rated are the same people who had Sanders rated in the first or early second round in last years draft. My suggestion would be to take that with a grain of salt. Maybe even two grains of salt.

What you call getting ripped off is in fact what most call capitalism. When one source can supply something cheaper than another source - then the market buys from the cheap supply.

If you're not in favor of capitalism let us know. If you want communism or protectionism please spell it out clearly and say so.

Bingo.

That is why I have taken some issue with QB being called the most important position in sports. I think a goalie in hockey is about the same.

If you have a wall in front of the net, you are going to win a lot of games.

Yesterday the USA had a wall in front of the net.

For anyone still in denial that trump isn't trying to control the media there's this.............

As of February 2026, Netflix is engaged in a high-stakes, roughly $82.7 billion all-cash bid to acquire the studio and streaming assets of Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD). The deal, aimed at acquiring major franchises like DC Comics and Harry Potter, faces intense regulatory scrutiny, a rival offer from Paramount Skydance, and opposition from political figures

Key Details of the Potential Acquisition:

The Bid: Netflix has proposed an all-cash offer of approximately $82.7 billion ($27.75 per share) to acquire WBD’s film/TV studios and the HBO Max streaming service.

Rivalry: Paramount Skydance has submitted a higher competing bid of roughly $108 billion (including debt) for the entire company.

Board Support: Despite the higher offer, the WBD board has shown preference for the Netflix deal, though they have given Paramount a window to increase its bid.

Regulatory & Political Hurdles: The US Justice Department has opened an antitrust investigation into the Netflix/WBD deal to examine if it creates a monopoly or hinders competition. The deal has faced vocal opposition from political figures and industry professionals, including filmmaker James Cameron.

Deal Structure: The deal is intended to close after the separation of WBD’s TV networks (like CNN and TNT) into a separate entity.

And now comes trump applying the pressure in his usual petty way...............

Trump demands Netflix fire Susan Rice as DOJ probes Warner deal

KEY POINTS

President Donald Trump demanded that Netflix fire board member Susan Rice or "pay the consequences."

Rice argued during a podcast last week that "it is not going to end well" for corporations, news organizations, and law firms that "bent the knee" to Trump, and that their deference is unpopular.

Trump's comments come as Netflix is pursuing a takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery.

The Department of Justice is reviewing the proposed acquisition.

President Donald Trump late Saturday called on Netflix to fire board member Susan Rice or "pay the consequences," after she said Democrats would push for corporate accountability if they regain power in the November midterm elections.

In a Truth Social post on Saturday, Trump described Rice, who served as President Joe Biden's domestic policy chief and held top foreign policy posts under President Barack Obama, as "purely a political hack" with "no talent or skills."

That sounds like the perfect description of most of his own cabinet.

I hate to see players get hurt but that risk is one of the reasons they get paid a lot of money.

Murica! Freedumb of speech only counts for us!

Harden is a great passer.

Super impressed by what Ellis and Schroeder bring.

The Cavs are deep and have many options for matchups.

This is going to be a fun ride watching them.

I am glad we all have choices.

BTW, have you printed any carbon fiber blends or nylon with your Bambu X1C?

Marriage (in the sense we're discussing here) is the legal process of getting married. Not the religious. We have separation of church and state, so the Bible has no legal standing in deciding who can and can't be legally married.

While I didn't put a ton of time into it, this is what I was searching for the other day and kept running into the numbers of our specialists (kicker/punter/LS). So thank you for finding and posting that up.

Also, your post about penalties was illuminating. I did not realize we were on the one end of the ST penalty rankings. Thank you for posting that.


I can definitely see how those two things point to roster vs coaching regarding our ST woes. Now I'm wondering if that $400k difference in average pay was us not having that "ST ace" on the roster (ex. Cribbs, who was as good a gunner as he was a returner).

I don't know who cares. Maybe a lot of people who have daughters? People who don't want a sexual predator wearing a Browns uniform? You know, people like that.

I guess you don't consider watson's sexual assault law suits news anymore. I mean who did it hurt? Am I right?

Huh ?

The defense is going to take a step backwards , because the Browns have struggled to get their talented groups to perform consistently year to year is what you just said.


Well if that is what happened under Stephanski and Schwarts then glad they are gone.

Who in the heck wants coaches who make the team struggle ?

I love the shake up


I hope there is a new energy in the building

Will it pan out, No one knows

There is also new reporting today that indicates that the DOB hid Trumps involvement on a Rape..... Stay tuned....I'm betting it will ether be debunked or will end up as Front Page News

What did they think was going to happen after they elected Mamdani?

Agreed.

So just to be sure of what we all already knew - Trump's racist remarks about Obama were his and his alone.

https://uk.yahoo.com/news/she-said-karoline-leavitt-just-050951878.html

And just so we're clear - if you say and post racist things ... it makes you a racist. I mean, as if not allowing black employees in certain positions in your businesses wasn't enough, or ordering them off the casino floor and for them to be non-visible when you visit.

Might have already been posted.

Genesis....Squonk

Since his passing many in the movie business have come forward and given tributes.

I have seen him interviewed many times. The one role that was hard on him was The Great Santini.

He came from a strict military father and the role haunted him. He was so good as the character Bull Meechum.

He loved "Tango" the dance and married a gal who is a terrific tango dancer. He wrote and directed the movie Assassination Tango and it was during the filming he met his future wife.

He said it took him ten days to read Lonesome Dove and 16 weeks to film it. And that was the best time in his life and his favorite role.

He will always remain in my eyes as the character Augustus McCrae.

I think that would heavily depend on what your definition of "stole" is. It certainly wouldn't fit the definition of the word.
