Great post - except one detail. Trump (other than his grifting and lining his pockets with Russian money or as POTUS) is not a successful business man. He was handed a minimum of $413 million in the 1990's and it was done to avoid paying inheritance taxes. If he had simply plonked that into an dow jones index linked fund or something similar - that would be worth about $14 Billion today. Trump under any definition has not been good with money and business. It has been reported that financially 'The Aprentice' saved his bacon - he earned a total of $427 million from the show. Links: inheritance The AprenticeI'm aware but I thought I'd point it out...

Re: Browns GM Andrew Berry: ‘No rule against extending’ Deshaun Watson’s contract; QB battle is performance-based

History dictates those percentages, not me. I just posted the numbers. I would recommend that if you try gambling based on your "feelings" or claim that proven statistics make no difference when you wager, you may not wish to gamble. But hey, it's your money.
Do you really believe that when Tom Brady and Brock Purdy were drafted that the teams who drafted them thought the odds of them becoming the players they became were high? If so, why did they wait so long while leaving them on the board to draft them? They took long shot fliers on them.
I on the other hand actually believe there is a role for Green right away. Not a starter right away if ever, but certainly a way to be a major contributor to the offense. Even me saying that is ignoring the odds but it's far more realistic than him ever being the Browns starter unless it's forced due to injuries.
Come on man. Can it happen? Yes it can. But claiming decades of data doesn't matter is not a thing. Well I guess it is to some who wish to ignore it.

First off good luck to the Cavs tonight in game 7. Secondly, I had to post this. The last 2 sports days have been wonderful if you dislike Boston teams which I do. The Bruins got eliminated on Friday night in hockey and the Celtics last night!! Just for good measure the Red Sox also lost yesterday, and my Cardinals beat the Dodgers for the 2nd time in a row. Doesn't get any better than this!!!!! Doesn't happen too often so I'll enjoy it while I can!

Re: Quarterback Defined

I think Watson being QB1 while things are being installed makes sense. With Shedeur's quote on learning and teaching, I do wonder if he's more of a back yarder than an on his p's and q's type. Reactionary more than in command, and focused more on himself than knowing everyone else's assignments. Watson on the other hand has been around the block with multiple offenses. Watson is probably more likely to help get everyone else up to speed more quickly.

Re: Justice Department drops investigation into Federal Reserve and Jerome Powell

Interesting update:
Just yesterday, Jerome Powell announced that he would not step down before his term expires. He also noted that he'd be staying on as a ranking board member for the foreseeable future.
It would seem that there is at least one person in the 202 who is willing to honor the commitment he made to The American Public.
Imagine that: the FED Chair stood up for principle and tradition, and said "no" to unrelenting pressure from the Executive Branch. Moreover, he actually committed himself to continue serving the public's interest after his term expires.
Dude just raised a massive "One Gun Salute" ...and thrust it straight in 47's eye... in front of the entire U.S. "I'm still here... and I'll still be around."
Guts. Principle. Integrity.
In case you missed it: Jerome Powell is a Donald Trump appointment.

I made the distinction between the two.
Way more information to make a mock than predict a new season.

I have seen quite a bit through research but did not see a thing about snorkling.
That would be very cool. I know you can see active volcanoes and I knew about the tectonic plates.
But hey thanks. Sometimes people discover things that don't show up from Google searches.

Late Breaking News!
Trump announced from The White House today that he has officially appointed Captain Jack Sparrow in charge of opening the Strait of Hormuz. He said he was going to appoint Hannibal Lecter as Sparrow's top aid and advisor on opening the strait until he remembered that Lecter had died.

You say "no", I say "not yet". Before I respond to the part I quoted, I want to say that I appreciate the convo. Also, the part I quoted is such a small portion of your post because of how close our two arguments are on the matter. As far as the part I quoted, I would say that you can 'what if' anything to death if you wanted to. I could get shot walking out of work today, but I'm not going and grabbing law-abiding peoples' guns, right? So why here? And through answering the question of 'why', you have to somehow get past the complete lack of tangible evidence of fraud that rises to the level of taking away methods of voting. I did a quick Google search, and clicked on the link below. There wasn't a ton of thought put into which link I clicked on other than it appearing to be the most legit. https://www.congress.gov/116/meeting/house/108824/documents/HHRG-116-JU00-20190129-SD020.pdfIn that sampling, the largest bucket of voter fraud was associated with absentee ballots and duplicate registrations. Not mail-in ballots, or ballot drop-boxes, or hacked voting machines, or whatever other nonsense that gets discussed but isn't happening. I think (with the exception of voter ID, IMO) if the proposed election security actions lined up at all with the attempted fraud that we're seeing, then I'd have a much easier time getting on board with taking away peoples' preferred methods of voting.

Babe, finding rooms can be tough. Book ahead! Lexington is beautiful around the reservoir. The motorcycle race weekends are packed. Any favorite races? Not sure what is still run. Good pit passes if you like that end of things. Go safe! Enjoy.

Re: DOJ, FBI conclude Jeffrey Epstein had no "client list," committed suicide

Bump.
Still millions of missing files/pages from the Epstein files. Trump allegations all hidden and removed.
Funny how people will believe there is a paedophile sex ring with the Clintons out of a basement of a Pizza joint in Washington DC - or how the Clintons assassinate political rivals .... but when it comes to something that slaps you in the face, a poem about shared secrets and a signature from Donny .... there is disbelief.
