Re: Strength Of Schedule WooferDawg 05/15/26 05:55 PM
SOS is based on the last years records of teams.

It is of anecdotal information.

The NFCN has 4 good teams that took out the AFCN last year. Hence the AFCN win percentage was lower.

This year the AFCN plays the NFCS which had 4 teams tied at 8-9 and the saints at 6-11.

It is not that hard to figure out why the Browns have an easier schedule on paper this year.

You're right. No homes were taken in this instance. That's why I included the part after the and/or. I was also using a hypothetical and not the exact cases we were discussing to make the idea more broadly applicable. I'm against government overreach in all its many forms. The home version hits closest to home for most people. Alas, trying to get you to think rarely works once you've dug in.

Why would anyone, much less myself put thought into a manufactured falsehood? That's a pretty lame narrative.

I didn't say it was irreversible. People are arguing that designations should be. I disagree with that.

Quote
Your assumptions are wrong, as usual. The "policy" I was referring to was "allowing lame duck politicians to make irreversible decisions" rather than the antiquities act itself. The argument that later Presidents shouldn't be able to change designations sounds like a bad idea to me.

Quote
The Trump did it because it was Obama's is a lame narrative

Allow me to explain to you what a "lame narrative" sounds like. When a man has been displaying an obvious pattern over a long period of time showing a propensity to do something and when someone points that fact out to you, you try and dismiss it and belittle it as a "lame narrative". You're welcome.

I'd argue that promoting tourism is as likely to cause damage as leaving things as they were.

That is how they were. Visitors centers have been around for decades. Promoting people visit our national parks has been happening for decades. WTH are you talking about?

Quote
Look I'm for preserving nature. I'm not a big fan of agenda driven narratives and selling knickknacks.

So let's see if I have this correct. You want less government spending. Yet at the same time you oppose selling "knick knacks" at visitor centers which raises a lot of money for the park service which means they need less money from the government?

And "agenda driven narratives"? Is that what you call telling the entire history of a region where a national park is located? Let me explain what that really means. What that means is people simply want to remove the part of a regions history they want to hide and don't like. This allows them to selectively show what they like and erase what they don't like. That's the very definition of an "agenda driven narrative".

Only idiots elect a man that says stupid nonsensical things on a consistent basis. These countries have no idea if trump is being serious or not if you look at his track record.

He is the same person that said if you elected the democrats they would start a war in the middle east but not if you elected him because he was a president of peace. He even pointed out that he didn't start any wars in his first term to back up what he was saying.

I suppose only idiots thought he was being serious then too?

That's been the standard line every time this fool says something stupid. Which is almost daily. "He was just joking." He wasn't being serious."

And you people keep repeating that BS. Right up until he actually tries to do it. rolleyes

Maybe the Browns are doing him a solid from a healthcare perspective as well by this designation as opposed to outright retiring?

I am not sure the Browns can cut him, and he isn't going to retire until he isn't going to get paid any longer.

Solid points, both. $6 million of his 2026 salary is guaranteed; 2025 was fully guaranteed.... and there is a LOT of Dead Cap pushed into Void Years from 2028 thru 2031. He will still represent $11.7million in Dead Cap in 2027, so he may spend the entire remainder of his contract on PUP.

Keeping him on the roster allows the Browns to file for cap insurance relief for him being out.

Re: Iran War II PitDAWG 05/11/26 04:56 PM
Trump Says Iran Ceasefire ‘On Life Support’ After Bragging He Has ‘The Best Plan Ever’

President Donald Trump said Monday that the ceasefire with Iran is not in a great place at the moment because he believes Iran’s proposals to end the war have been “unacceptable.”

“It’s unbelievably weak,” Trump said of the ceasefire. “It’s on life support.”

"Life support is not a good thing," he continued. "I would say the ceasefire is on massive life support where the doctor walks in and says, 'Sir, your loved one has approximately a 1% chance of living.’”

Speaking before reporters and allies gathered in the Oval Office moments earlier, he boasted about his "plan" to end the war.

“You know, a lot of people said, ‘Well, does he have a plan?' Yeah, of course I do have a plan. I have the best plan ever," Trump said. “I have a plan. It’s a very simple plan.”

Trump then laid out his plan, which is no plan at all: “Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.”

Trump Rejects New Iran Peace Offer as ‘Totally Unacceptable’

(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump and Iran rejected each other’s latest peace proposals to end the 10-week conflict as the two sides struggle to maintain a fragile ceasefire.

“I have just read the response from Iran’s so-called ‘Representatives,’” Trump said in a social media post. “I don’t like it — TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!”

Iran offered to transfer some of its stockpile of highly enriched uranium to a third country, but rejected the idea of dismantling its nuclear facilities, the Wall Street Journal reported earlier. Iran disputed the report, according to the country’s semi-official news agency Tasnim.

It was unclear whether the exchange of proposals would offer a path to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Under its latest proposal, Iran would dilute some of its highly enriched uranium and have the rest sent to a third country, the WSJ said, citing people familiar with the response, but it also called for guarantees the transferred uranium would be returned if talks fail and ruled out dismantling its facilities.

Iran’s semi-official news agency Tasnim said the WSJ’s reporting on proposals for handling nuclear material was “not true.” The statement emphasized Iran’s desire for an immediate end to the war, the release of its frozen assets, a lifting of US sanctions on oil sales, an end to the US blockade of the Gulf of Oman, and ultimately Iranian management of the strait. State-run IRIB News added that Tehran rejected Trump’s plan as tantamount to surrender and insisted the US must also pay war damages.

Trump had proposed that Iran permit passage through the Strait of Hormuz and Washington end its blockade on Iranian ports in the next month, with nuclear talks to follow.

Oil rose with the dollar after Trump rejected Iran’s latest proposal. Brent was up about 3.5% to above $104 a barrel, recovering some of last week’s losses. US equity-index futures edged lower as the standoff weighed on risk sentiment.

Iran has been “playing games” with the US and other countries, Trump said in a social media post earlier Sunday. “They will be laughing no longer!”

Trump and his advisers have repeatedly suggested the war is over, even while threatening to escalate attacks if Tehran does not agree to a peace deal. Trump is scheduled to travel to China this week despite the ongoing conflict.

The president has said repeatedly that Iran must not be allowed to have a nuclear weapon and claimed as recently as last week that the country had already agreed to give up its nuclear ambitions.

The president did not say in his social media post what the consequences, if any, of his dissatisfaction with Iran’s response would be. In recent weeks, Trump has appeared eager to draw a line under the conflict as he faces rising political pressure to bring down gasoline prices across the US ahead of the November midterm elections, when his fellow Republicans hope to hold on to control of Congress.

The conflict has killed thousands of people across the Middle East and upended oil and gas markets, with soaring fuel prices piling pressure on governments and consumers worldwide.

Here’s more related to the war:

Saudi Aramco, the world’s largest oil company, warned it would take several months for the market to return to normal even if the Strait of Hormuz reopened immediately.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an interview on CBS’s 60 Minutes that he would like to end US financial support for Israel’s military over the next decade. The US currently provides Israel with $3.8 billion a year in military assistance under a 10-year agreement originally negotiated by the Obama administration that lasts through 2028.

Despite the ceasefire in place since April 8, a drone strike briefly set a cargo vessel ablaze off Qatar in the Persian Gulf, marking the latest shipping attack in the region. The United Arab Emirates and Kuwait both said they had intercepted hostile drones.

Notable players taken right after CS include Tyler Shough, the safety Seattle got, Treyveon Henderson (though we picked Judkins right before), Jayden Higgins and Luther Burden.

I think Berry and staff were desperate for a linebacker with JOK's injury. Jihaad Campbell at LB taken late in the 1st round 31 overall. It would have been interesting to see who they would have selected if he was still on the board at 33. Was Carson their top linebacker on their board or was he 2nd. The fact they selected him 3 picks before they selected Judkins shows they feared waiting 3 picks they would possibly lose out on him.

I agree. Carson was on the NFL radar.

Bobby was old school all the way.

His players loved him.

You were expected to conduct yourself like a professional.

No clubhouse music allowed. Wear headsets so you don't infringe on others. No kids in the locker room. Not all kids behave well.

Show up on time and play your ass off. Dress was sports coats and collared shirts.

He kept everything inside the locker room. And he supported his players like they were his own kids.

I will always remember him on the top step cheering his players on. He was all baseball.

Sad day in Braves land.

Re: FBI Raids Office of Top Democratic Leader in Redistricting Wars PitDAWG 05/06/26 07:22 PM
Maybe you can tell me what crimes they have been convicted of and how many felony counts they were found guilty of? I can show you 34 felony counts trump was convicted on. Let me guess. The fact trump was convicted on 34 felony counts is the fault of the democrats, right? Tell me how it was those evil dems who convicted him and not a jury. Or how it wasn't a jury who found he was libel for sexually assaulting a woman? Let me guess, you have a list of excuses for that one too? Tell me how every election trump or republicans win isn't rigged but every time a democrat wins an election you people claim it was rigged?

Or maybe you can explain this one though I know you will ignore it and just post more BS.... After Trump ordered the bombing on Iran's nuclear facilities in June of 2025 he proclaimed that they, "obliterated Iran's nuclear program setting it back several years if not decades." Then just eight months later he claimed that Iran was less than a month away from having a nuclear weapon. So which of those two times was he lying?

And let's not forget this one. On April 18th, 2026, President Trump claimed Iran "agreed to everything" in negotiations, including removing enriched uranium, ceasing proxy support, and keeping the Strait of Hormuz open.

Once again you prove that every accusation you make is just a confession. Do you call the fact I pointed out that trump has been convicted on 34 felony counts "hate"? Do you call me pointing out that trump made two opposite claims about Iran's nuclear program one of which has to be a lie hate? Because that's usually what you call it when we presented with the facts.

You have TDS. Trump devotion syndrome. No matter what he does, no matter what he says, no matter how many times he lies to you, you remain devoted to him.

I do know some of the very things and false statements they were making made it to the right wing media and were heavily repeated on social media. And it wouldn't surprise me if some of them didn't make their way the board by those that seem to think randos on X is legitimate news. But honestly I think most of that is nothing more than trolling the board. Surely such posters aren't stupid enough to believe that BS.

Re: Browns GM Andrew Berry: ‘No rule against extending’ Deshaun Watson’s contract; QB battle is performance-based PitDAWG 05/03/26 02:41 PM
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.
