I'm willing to just let the season play out now. I was adamant that starting Watson was pointless, but I was wrong. He's earned a chance until he either reverts back to his good or bad self.
I also don't know if he can get through a season healthy either. That's the other thing.
Some say work is going to be the death of me, but I feel like it is keeping me going and feeling good.
I'm in the same boat. I'm 66 and I've worked pretty much non stop since I had a paper route when I was 10. Just last week I made the decision to retire May 1st after 42 years with the same health care system. Financiallly, retiring makes sense, but I really love my job and the people that I work with. I was given the option to come back on either a contingent or part time basis, and I think I'll take them up on it after I get the details of these options and discuss it with the wife. I do have to terminate for at least 30 days to access my pension, and retiring May 1 will allow me to return in June with no negative effect to my SS benefit.
I am in total agreement with you that working keeps us feeling good, and it also keeps me mentally sharp as I have to interact and negotiate with highly intelligent professionals.
Trump doxed Tom Cotton over Daylight savings time.........
Trump posts GOP senator’s cell phone number over daylight savings act stall
President Trump posted Sen. Tom Cotton’s (R-Ark.) cell phone number on Truth Social Saturday, lashing out at Senate Republicans to move forward with legislation that would make daylight saving time permanent.
“Tom Cotton, a friend of mine, is holding up a very important Bill,” Trump wrote, describing the Sunshine Protection Act. “For some reason, Tom is stopping the Bill and, in the Senate, it’s very easy to do, it only takes one! It should pass overwhelmingly, in a Bipartisan fashion.”
“To the Great People of Arkansas, please let your Senator know it would be a GREAT Bipartisan WIN for the United States Senate, and for America, itself. Call Tom on his cellphone,” the president continued before he wrote the number. “Let him know.”
Trump blamed Cotton for the bill — which he called the “No More Changing of Clocks Act” — stalling in the Senate after it passed the House with a 308-117 vote.
When asked about the post, Cotton’s office referred to the senator’s statement shared on social platform X, where he said, “No one likes changing the clock, me included, but Congress has enacted permanent Daylight Savings Time multiple times before and repealed it each time once Americans experienced absurdly late sunrises in the winter.”
“Arkansans don’t want their kids going to school in the pitch dark, and I’ll always put Arkansas first,” he concluded.
Cotton, who chairs the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, has been among the most vocal opponents of permanent daylight saving time —expressing concern that without the twice a year clock changes, many children heading to school and millions of Americans traveling to work would be left in the dark.
“If permanent daylight saving time becomes the law of the land, it will again make winter a dark and dismal time for millions of Americans,” he said last year.
Trump countered that more evening daylight would help reduce crime and traffic accidents, while benefiting public health and industries including sports, tourism, restaurants and retail.
In his Saturday Truth Social post, Trump continued that the bill would help the PGA Tour who “needs more Daylight in the afternoon in order to finish their Tournaments.”
“Likewise, regular Golfers, Tennis Players, Hunters and, perhaps most importantly, Farmers who want more Daylight to play or work,” he added.
The post included a letter from PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp who wrote in “strong support” of the bill — citing that it would generate $1 billion annually in new direct revenue for the sport.
Trump has pushed for the Sunshine Protect Act’s passage since August, but Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) has cast doubt on whether the measure can secure the 60 votes needed to advance.
Because Washington, D.C. is a federal enclave and seat of government, certain doxing incidents may cross into federal territory:
• Federal Officers and Officials: Under 18 U.S.C. § 119, it is a federal crime to publicly publish or restrictively disclose the personal information (such as home addresses or phone numbers) of federal officials, law enforcement officers, or their families with the intent to threaten, intimidate, or incite a crime of violence.
So trump's FCC goes after talk shows over equal time of political parties and then trump says this........
Trump says ‘MAGA and REAL Patriots’ will never like Fox News over hosting Democrats
President Trump on Wednesday went after Fox News over hosting Democrats on its network, with the president saying “MAGA, and REAL Patriots will never like Fox!”
“Why does FoxNews always put Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Jessica Tarlov, and every Democrat on, saying bad things about the Republican Party and, of course, me?” the president said in a Wednesday afternoon Truth Social post.
“I actually think they get more airtime than Pro Republicans. This is why MAGA, and REAL Patriots, will never like Fox! They repeat a completely negative narrative, on and on it goes, and then we get a quick retort. It’s truly amazing that I won all three Elections,” he added, repeating his false claim that he won the 2020 presidential election.
Trump has a long history of attacking the media and press outlets, but Fox News has a history of being praised by the president, and he has also hired former Fox News personalities for his administration.
Last month, Trump went after “Fox News Sunday” anchor Shannon Bream because of on-air guests, charts and polls he claimed did not show off successful actions by his administration.
“In any event, Shannon’s ‘show’ is beyond redemption. Fortunately, MAGA, which is close to 100% of the Republican Party, understands that, and watch her ‘Ratings’ start to fall,” Trump said on Truth Social at the time.
“Chris Wallace was bad, but Shannon is even worse,” he added, referring to her predecessor.
Fox News is also one of the major TV networks that rotate covering the president for wider media distribution and recently said it would not do so after Trump barred three media outlets from the White House earlier this month.
So Trump's own FCC launches punitive threats against what they claim to be the left wing news media for not giving equal time to Republicans on one hand. Then trump himself lambastes a conservative network tor giving Democrats equal time. Yet from people who support trump they act like this is no big deal and never mention it.
Do you even bother to read anything before you reply?

Bro, the first three weeks are always murder for me. My attention is 100% on the Browns in the preseason. I spend the first three weeks saying "oh yeah, I forgot he plays there now". My win was 100% luck lol.
Anyway, you had the balls to pick some tough underdogs, including our Browns. Kudos.
In September 2026, the Iowa Farmers Union (IFU) officially endorsed a full slate of Democratic candidates for both federal and state-level elections. Group leadership stated that the candidates were scored and selected based on their commitment to family farmers regarding critical issues like corporate consolidation, unfair trade policies, rural healthcare, and water quality.
College, for many, has historically been something "you just go and do". You come out with a piece of paper and hopefully it works for you.
I think college, nowadays, should be viewed as an investment. There are good investments and bad investments, and bad investments will set you back. You really have to put some thought into your degree beyond how interesting it sounds. Will it help you land a higher-paying job and pay the bills? You have to think about that because you're going to have at least 1 big bill coming out of school. Obviously, scholarships can play a large role in college choices, but those can be tougher to come by and you're still likely to come out of it with loans to pay.
Anyone else annoyed with "The Athletic" crap that keeps popping up on NFL.com? They are trying to get you to subscribe. It sucks I do my best to avoid the "A" prefixes now
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
