Re: Denmark tells Trump to stop threatening to seize Greenland

French President Macron to ask the EU to consider activating the trade bazooka in response to trump aggression on Greenland. https://www.politico.eu/article/mac...e-bazooka-in-response-to-trumps-tariffs/What is it you might ask..... Response measures If those efforts do not bear fruit, and in view of set deadlines, the Commission may, as a last resort, adopt EU response measures to counteract the coercion, with a view to inducing the third country to stop its coercion. The types of measure which the Commission may take include restrictions on the access to the EU market and other economic disadvantages for the third country involved. The list of options is broad, and covers areas such as trade in goods, services, foreign direct investment, financial markets, public procurement, trade-related aspects of intellectual property rights, export controls, and more. The Commission acts by way of an implementing act, once Member States have given their views in an examination procedure. https://policy.trade.ec.europa.eu/enforcement-and-protection/protecting-against-coercion_enIndeed -- and you know it is exactly the sort of thing Trump would enact if the positions were reversed but now he will cry victim and act offended and affronted. Trump is a child like bully - appeasement doesn't work. So I'd say this is the EU's only real option and suffer through whatever negative economic impact follows.

He made playoffs with Flacco as perfect things fell into place . Among those things facing weak azz schedule when Flacco came in. Bottom feeder defenses . Then what happened when the Browns faced the Texans ? Reality set in .want to be average . Hire Kevin Stefanski. Want to be good or better ...hire Jim Harbaugh. Stefanski won nothing of significance in Cleveland. A under .500 coach. Yawn Similiar to another ex-Browns head coach. 41-55 in his first 6 season as a Head Coach the first 5 seasons with Cleveland.

Re: Quarterback Defined

I wouldn’t have fired either of them.. this year.
We knew weeks ago this wasn’t likely “the” QB draft year. When we dropped to 6 it was mostly over. It looks like a 1 QB draft and talent will only be leaving the pool, not entering. Meaning, guys opting to go back for NIL money, not unexpected talent opting to come out.
So what are the options? Slim pickings. So you fire your coach now? And when next year we still don’t have an answer at QB we fire Berry and we shopping for a GM but keeping the coach..? Just so dumb.
We simply have to ride out the DW curse and try to position ourselves to launch. Drop back this year, get another first next year. Ride with what you’ve got, see once and for all if sanders is real (he isn’t) but when next year comes and we’re in the exact same place, THEN you clean house, search for a GM/coach team with a freed up cap and two #1’s and no lingering toxic crap in your QB room.
But no. Because our owner is dumb.

Maybe "the deal" was KS deliver on offense while Berry builds the D (at the time of the Watson trade, our D was abysmal).
From that angle, Berry upheld his part while KS epically failed.

"Also important to note that no doctor on the scene was saving her. That was a basic impossibility. But alas, that's hindsight."
The Dr on the scene was not allowed to look at her. They let her die. Oh they were concerned the mother of all domestic terrorism had bombs or something in her car. GMFB. Was it impossible that she couldnt be saved? No one knows, an investigation has not looked into every aspect of what happened to determine anything. Maybe if they looked into everything they could come up with procedures that are safer for everyone....Nah. lets just spew exaggerated rhetoric and lies that supports your agenda. Thats the maga way

Re: Browns HC Interviews
Milk Man
01/18/26 11:05 PM
I struggle to understand a move from passing coordinator to HC. OC experience at college level,? No thanks. Most offensive minded head coaches call their own plays in today's NFL. Trying to hire an OC to a HC position that called the plays is becoming more and more outdated because so few call the plays anymore. When NFL teams hire offensive minded HCs, the trend will only increase that passing game coordinators make the jump to HC without having ever called plays. It's probably safe to assume if the Browns hire one of the offensive minded candidates, they too will call their own plays.

If he is not the guy. We are three years away from doing much "if" we find a quarterback in the draft in 27.

If you’ve not seen any of Bob Weir and the Wolfpack from the Radio City Music Hall it’s really worth looking up. He kept the music alive and evolving right up until the end.

Site moving fast today. Yesterday, when things got bogged down, I tried clearing cache. I'm no techie, it was just an impulse. Seemed to clear things up but could have just been coincidence. I'll keep an eye on this unless anyone knows it's a waste of time... Short answer: clearing cache for a single site depends on your browser. Here are quick, reliable methods you can use right away.
Chrome (desktop)
Method 1: DevTools quick clear
Open the target page, press Ctrl+Shift+I (Cmd+Option+I on Mac) to open DevTools.
Right-click the refresh button and choose “Empty Cache and Hard Reload” (or go to the Network tab and disable cache, then refresh). This clears the cache for the page you’re viewing and reloads with fresh assets.

It was a fun game. Jaylon Tyson stole the show. Tomlin had a few moments as well.
I will say though, that was some sloppy, sloppy basketball. Haven't watched much, has that been the norm this season? Unfortunately way too often.

There is no competitive balance within the constraints of the pay structure. That couldn't be any more obvious.
What you have is a bunch of billionaires who appear not to want that balance or players fighting against that balance. Possibly both. I don't know enough about the situation to say.
There are examples like the NFL who have salary caps. That may not be totally fair to owners in smaller markets but it's as close as they have been able to come.
Either owners don't want that in MLB or the players union doesn't.

Re: US farm economy shows widening cracks as costs rise, jobs vanish
PrplPplEater
01/15/26 08:55 PM
Same for me. As you know, I'm in one of those communities now, While I engage in very small-scale agriculture, I sell all of my stuff locally so these things don't affect me much, but I see it all around me. Even the local beef ranchers who also sell everything local are hit by it all because the input costs on everything are higher. Fertilizer, lime, diesel, seed... those things are the pillars of an operation, so even if you can sell everything locally, your cost-to-consumer is going to be higher because you still have a mortgage and tractor payments to make in addition to all those other inputs. Fertilizer for 100 acres can easily hit $15k-$20k depending on your soil type and the target crop.... then it takes a fair bit of diesel to run the tractor to till, seed, and spread that fertilizer. It's tough to make those costs back.
