Like I said, not sure I have that right

It's possible though I doubt in total. That is going to be the legal quagmire that will last years. Maybe a decade or more. Company X had to pay more to impot French wine. How much extra money did they charge the consumer to help offset the tariff cost? We will probably never get to the bottom of that question.

Re: Quarterback Defined WSU Willie 02/21/26 01:51 PM
My guess is that many things 2025 with this Browns offense will be taken with a skid-load of salt by the new coaches...nothing is to be guaranteed OR discounted. Was "it" the QB? OL? WR? Scheme? Playcalling? All of the above? They will make their own determinations.

I'm guessing they try and trade for J Winston...the other pickings are either too slim...too iffy...or too expensive. If that is so, I think they trade Gabriel.

Berry needs to get real good at what has been his glaring weakness for (6) years and counting.

I'm not so sure why anyone would think that after Biden lowered the inflation rate from 8% in 2022 to 2.9% in December of 2024 that's it's still his fault that trump has barely managed to move the needle.

Because some items won't be able to drop all that much. You have to remember their was a massive push to increase wages across the board. While the price of eggs has come down because chicken populations have risen, wages haven't. It's hard to reduce wages.

The reality is once prices escalate, they rarely ever revert back to a previous level except for possibly new technology that starts high then usually drop.

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 don’t believe JOK will play another down in the NFL. He had a compressed spine, and continuing to play in the NFL with that sword hanging over your head is not worth the risk.

Why do you care who other people marry? If you don't like gay marriage don't get gay married. Why do you think others who believe differently than yourself don't deserve the same rights as you do?

I just ant to see if you'll be honest about it.

People choose to be gay. They are nothing more than sexual deviants and should not be celebrated and given special rights. Marriage is between 1 man and 1 woman. Who someone sleeps with is none of my concern but condoning marriage outside of the boundaries it was created to have is a problem. How is that for honesty?

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.

Average pay per special teams player:

$1,109,901 - Browns

League minimum for 3yrs or less accrued experience in 2025 - $1,100,000

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? rolleyes

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

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

Trump Explodes With Rage After Bad Bunny Wins Nobel Peace Prize

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In a series of furious Truth Social posts late Wednesday night, Donald J. Trump blasted the Norwegian Nobel Committee for awarding its Peace Prize to the Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny.

Trump claimed that he had been “treated very unfairly” by being passed over for the award despite having ended “between forty and fifty wars.”

“Bad Bunny could Never end even One War because he speaks a Language no one Understands!” Trump thundered.

In another setback for Trump, Bad Bunny’s birthday will be honored each year with a new national holiday in Greenland.

Re: White wash mgh888 02/19/26 03:15 PM
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.

Re: Robert Duvall bonefish 02/18/26 10:13 PM
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.

Re: GOP lawmaker joins Democrat-led effort to limit Trump's pardon power PitDAWG 02/18/26 07:41 PM
Yeah, that's exactly what I posted directly above your post.

Quote
In actuality it will most likely never happen. Actually highly unlikely to ever happen. I'm certainly no constitutional expert, but from my understanding it would take an amendment to the constitution in order to change this.

To amend the constitution requires a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate (or a convention called by two-thirds of state legislatures) to propose, followed by ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures.

We can't get both parties to agree what color the sky is on any given day.

I think that would heavily depend on what your definition of "stole" is. It certainly wouldn't fit the definition of the word.

RIP Jesse Jackson. I wanted to post about him yesterday but this thread is in the Everything Else forum. It's virtually impossible to talk about his life and legacy without it being centered around religion, civil rights and politics. None of which topics are to be discussed in this forum. Other than his family, those three things were the centerpieces oh his life.
