I wonder if National Emergency has been defined?

What constitutes national emergency and who decides?

I get why it might not be defined. Emergency can change with the times.

A sound comment after several which made you sound unhinged. Welcome back.

I agree with the decision on it being a tax or sorts. Congress has that power.

That said, maybe it's just me but I haven't seen any real increase in prices. Eggs are down, gas is down.

Lots of things have remained close to what they have been. Beef is high. One thing not being mentioned is wage increase over the last 5 years or so. I am not making the argument they shouldn't have gone up but they clearly impact the rate of inflation. Wage increases are passed along just like tariffs are passed along.

This is more a comment than any form of rebuttal to any posted comments.

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.

I expect Monken's arrival to be something of a "reset" for Watson. I know this is not what people want to hear, but I think this coaching staff and FO has enough on their plate that they are not going to put a guy on the shelf that may be able to help them. I expect TC to be an open competition at QB between Watson and Sanders and someone they bring in. I'm curious what they think about DG but I'm willing to be the official line will be that it's a truly open QB comp.

You still haven’t told me your plan. I don’t mean that in a derogatory way, but I did ask. We do not have the personnel on the roster, not even a developmental guy that we could put hope into that this is the year for him to shine. Who would your suggestion be to make a marked improvement? I would argue getting a large improvement at LT is even more important than improving the WR room, but not at the expense of passing on talent in the draft to take a less talented body to put at the hole left by Joe Thomas.

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.
