Ah, more 4chan humor.

Lock them all up. Theo-fascists. They’re trying desperately to indoctrinate the children. Gotta keep those numbers up or the gravy train is over. It’s shameful and damn sure unconstitutional.

Ronaldo G. DeStains and the G stands for Goofy.

Damn. Was going through some stuff in December, and didn’t know about Vers. Sorry to Swish go, but don’t blame him.

There is a theme to the choices I've offered: they all serve as overtures for the rest of the album they lead. They set the stage, tone and stylistic aesthetic for the entire project. The first tune is absolutely key to the success of a concept album. These 5 are prime examples of how that works. I have others, but this is enough for now ( I don't need to get started down this rabbit hole...)

Besides, I come to DT to get away from the 'organized noise' stuff I do for a paycheck.

I enjoy these threads much more as a lurker than an active participant.

My niece got married this weekend as well, just in Ashville, NC.

We three bear sightings at the house where we stayed.

So the system is working?

I think the amount would have to be higher. You can't go to a movie for $9, but that said, it wouldn't be a consistent revenue stream. The NFL and whatever network want the set season rate rather than the up's and downs of week to week.

I could see a possible pay per view option, but I would think it would be more in the $60+ range. Pay the yearly fee or pay out the ass.

That's how I would do it. So would you. The NFL and network aren't interested in the people who want to cherry pick games.

I don't blame them.

It's much easier to throw well when you know you aren't going to get hit. We'll see what happens when the bullets start flying. Hopefully he will look as well in the heat of battle.

Stan Getz could really play.

It was kinda sad that he got labeled as commercial. Stan had chops. He was a damn good horn player.

You can always buy a ticket and go to the game.

No doubt that blackout rules still apply.

That was my only real beef with Art Model. Browns home games were never broadcast locally. No matter how many tickets were sold, the guy always managed to set up several hundred folding chairs or fence off various areas of the stadium for standing room only just before the sellout window to keep the games off air locally.

All rookies have a window of opportunity. For some it might be as long as a mini camp. For others it might be a few years, but if they don't start to meet expectations, the window closes.

Schwartz's window is about shut.

What you typed is TRUE.....but, ain't it nice hearing the guys say they like and RESPECT the DC....and he'll hold them accountable......sweet. Go Browns!!!

Downtown Richmond tonight after a graduation. 9 shot 3 fatal

By far, they are nicer looking uniforms compared to the monstrosity-like colours they’ve used the past number of years

That is why I asked my question earlier. If it is happening at their homes, then the Browns and Police might be able to do something. Since it is in random parking lots or at some clubs closing, I don't see how either can do all that much in the way of preventative measures. They don't keep tabs on these guys after they leave practice.

Heaven forbid that banks that are too big to fail. You know the ones US tax payers bailed out? Would give back a bit to help…..lol..nah.

The most obvious thing of interest for Browns fans.

The 2023 Cleveland Browns are currently most expensive Cap spend team in the NFL this year and they are still not paying Watson's full cap.

Fox News Host Confronts GOP Senator on Pentagon's Fifth Failed Audit

A Fox News host confronted Republican Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas about the Pentagon's fifth failed audit as he was discussing the debt ceiling deal.

Fox News Sunday host Shannon Bream spoke with Cotton on Sunday about concerns related to defense spending that could be reduced if "waste and fraud" were addressed at the Defense Department, which has now failed its audit five times in a row.

She pointed out that Congress gives the Pentagon more money each year instead of demanding "responsible financial management" and that there are "millions, possibly billions of dollars in wasted money" within the government agency.

"Is there money there that could be helpful to these concerns you have?" Bream asked Cotton. The GOP senator responded by saying that there are opportunities for the Pentagon to reform, especially when it comes to the way it procures weapon systems.

"However, if you're talking millions and billions in reform, we're talking about tens of billions at a minimum and additional needs to deter China and deter Iran, and deter Russia," he added. "We've seen this happen in the past in the Trump era, secretaries were able to find savings and then their savings returned back into procurement of more aircraft and ships and vehicles."

Cotton on Sunday confirmed that the "Pentagon can find savings but not savings to match and offset the cuts in this [debt deal] bill, or the threats that we face from countries like China and Iran and Russia." The Republican senator on Thursday filed an amendment to the debt ceiling package to prevent further cuts to "critical" defense spending.

On Thursday the Senate voted 63-36 to send a bill raising the U.S. borrowing limit to President Joe Biden's desk, ending monthslong negotiations between Republicans and Democrats who were trying to find solutions that would satisfy both sides and prevent the country from defaulting on its debts.

The final deal reduces the national debt by $1.5 trillion, with roughly $1.3 trillion of the savings stemming from instituting caps on non-defense discretionary spending for fiscal years 2024 and 2025. Spending for 2024 will remain around current levels, and 2025 spending cannot be raised by more than 1 percent.

The bill also curbs federal spending that would include possibly cutting out $16 billion worth of lower-priority defense items such as tanks and helicopter upgrades that would usually be included in the defense budget, according to Reuters.

In March, the GOP-led House Committee on Oversight and Accountability said it wanted to investigate the Defense Department for "failing to prevent waste, fraud, and abuse" following its fifth audit failure last November.

The Pentagon was unable to account for around 61 percent of its assets, The Hill reported at the time, citing Pentagon Comptroller Mike McCord.

The fifth audit failure comes after 1,600 auditors looked into the department's $3.5 trillion worth of assets and $3.7 trillion in liabilities. McCord said at the time that the Defense Department had a "clean" audit, but "failed to get an 'A.'" A federal law requires all agencies to undergo mandatory audits, and since fiscal year 2013 all federal government agencies were able to satisfy that requirement except for the Pentagon.

Agreed. Prayers to you Jim. I wish you the best.

Sorry to you and the others who’ve lost parents, especially ones recent. 90 years is a long life, so if she had a good one, take comfort in that. My mom turns 80 next month (I have more gray hair than she), and I sometimes think about the inevitable.
Again, sorry for your loss.
