Re: Education

I am out of the college cost loop.
I just know it is very expensive. In 1970 you could pay for tuition with a summer job. You can't do that today.
Education has changed. You don't need classrooms to learn.
How does one address the high cost of college? Either high schools change or there are more ways to pay for college.
IMO college today is a waste of money and time unless you are in something specific like medical.
A liberal arts degree gets you a job waiting tables. With our two kids, myself and my wife came to a conclusion before my daughter (the oldest) was out of high school. We overheard some of her friends talking about the time of high school graduation and they didn't know what they wanted to study-but they talked about going away to school to wherever their best friends went-it was an extension of high school with some of the same friends-only with room and board and a meal plan added in-our plan was to have the kids go to college local-they are good kids and are studious and we told them they can live with us as long as they wanted to. My daughter went to college remote (which was good because about half her time was during covid)-she got some scholarships and we put money into her 529-she graduated with a high GPA in computer science and is working as a IT administrator. My son went local to Youngstown State-Got so many scholarships that he basically went to school last year for free. He already has a BS in Mathematics and is getting his 4-year in Electrical Engineering this year-he has worked an internship in Aerospace and two summers worked with me in Electrical Construction-and he is working part time with me now and already has been told he will have a full time offer in May-my son my get his masters-but only if his job will pay for it Both of our kids got thru all 4 years with total loans of 20-25k each. We paid off about half of my daughters with her 529 and she has paid off the rest. We should be able to do the same with my son. Actually, we have already paid off some of his student debt. College is right for some-the trades are right for some others-but it will be hard pressed to get a livable wage if you don't do one of those. The days of walking out of high school or finishing up your stint in the armed services and walking into a steel mill or a GM plant and getting a good livable wage are long gone.

Is there any possibility AB drafts Jeremiah Smith with his first pick and draft LaNorris Sellers later in the first round?

Re: The White House launches ‘Trump TV’ after media ban

Just an FYI. CNN was replaced on the schedule by "Real America's Voice". A channel which broadcasts right-wing political commentary, including shows hosted by Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk until his death. J. Sigg launched the network in 2018 through Performance One Media.
Robert J. Sigg has a history of both civil and criminal problems. Court records show the father was arrested for driving under the influence in Douglas County in 2004, domestic violence in the same county, and DUI arrests in Arapahoe and Jefferson counties. He also had an assault arrest in Jefferson County and a drug dealing arrest in Weld County.
The FBI arrested Robert Sigg and he was convicted in 2006 for involvement in a mortgage fraud scheme.
Records show Robert Sigg has been married and divorced several times and has been wrapped up in dozens of civil actions over money.
It could be that trump showed favoritism to Sigg based on how much they have in common.

Re: Deshaun Watson today

IMO at this point I would not trade any of our QB's. You don't know how our season will go. I predicted we would win no more than 5-6 games, but what do I know? We may win more or less. What I do know is we go through 3-4 QB's a year. Let's wait until the trade deadline, I believe it's November 10th and see where we stand then. It's not a wait and see in some cases, as I said in some. If a team is in desperate need, they may offer more for a player than just simply waiting on a player for a tradeline date.

Re: Browns new cont. 2

I get what you're saying. However you're trying to compare the 7th overall pick in the draft at QB to pick #144 at the same position.
Teams don't give up or trade the #7 overall pick in the draft at QB after a single season. The entire NFL felt it was the right choice to leave Sanders on the board until the fifth round. No team actually feels it's a legitimate attempt to draft a starting QB at pick #144. A decent shot at a backup and a hope and a prayer as a starter at best. They already had their preconceived value of Sanders before that draft began. Nothing he has done since then has given them cause to think differently now.
Based on stats alone I get your point. But overall this is an apples to oranges comparison.

Re: Coulda, woulda, should

Browns coulda dropped DW and eaten the loss. Keeping him now for the money considerations, and I see no way forward that includes him. We shoulda kept Schwartz; last game was a larger step backward than I anticipated. We woulda been ahead with a few more veterans, because MG's loss has more impact than we have seen yet.
Cute mental exercise to show common ground in Browns fans. But we have managed two things: First, we failed to address QB even in our own room, and we wasted time and reps doing so. Second, our basic fundamentals, especially tackling, blocking, pass rushing, and play mix are not going resemble how we see winning teams demonstrate. Cringe-worthy it is. There is no way the Browns could have dropped Watson this season. The cap hit would have just destroyed their ability to field a team. They had to play out this team, and then designate him as a post June release so they can split the total left at that point between 2027 and 2028. If we had just dumped him this year, the dead cap was something like $128 million. Definitely couldn't have dropped him, but I'm curious how much of the restructures to drag out the cap hit were necessary or if we were still trying to save the plan vs blow everything up.

i guess you could re sign with the same losing team for more money and then bolt to another SB contender for even more money. that could ease a lot of pain

So sorry to hear this. He was one of the first posters I interacted with when I joined the original board back in 2003. Wish I could have met him, he seemed like a great guy.
