Yeah, I'm not surprised. There were quite a few times I thought I caught a fin lurking in the background, but luckily it was so cold we never got much past the sandbar in Huntington. So at least it would have been smaller bites.

Exactly. Forget screwing over Biden, this has always been Bibi’s dream, and nobody appears to be willing to stop him. Much like the US after 9/11. Everyone pittied us and felt solidarity at the first incursions into Afghanistan, but that goodwill quickly evaporated based on our over zealous actions....

SoCal was nice. We ended up in Sunset Beach, across the greenway from the beach. Could stand on the "dune" and watch the kids get into and out of the house while we were on the beach. It was cold and rainy unfortunately, but we still enjoyed ourselves and walks up and down the beach. Boogie boarded ...

I love a stick in the right car. I had an F150 with one and that was just annoying. Mini Cooper, BMW, even my wife's old MazdaSpeed were much more enjoyable with one though.

Sorry, add 2 to the first round for the last two by Mahomes.

I didn't call out every QB, just those from round 6 on back.

do people really think jj mccarthy is going to be a good pro?
He doesn't have the arm strength. His sideline throws felt like they travelled forever. He could absolutely have a career as a back-up but I don't think he's a starter, let alone a build your team around him type.

5 mph bumpers on cars weren't even mandatory until 1974. And I'm sure the bridge engineer said nobody will ever be stupid enough to run into this thing, it's massive. Alas, a good 50% of engineering is trying to predict how the biggest idiot in the world will misuse your design.

Trump is basically "house poor." His wealth (the amount of which is subject to much debate, and has likely dropped precipitously given the current commercial-real-estate market) is mostly in the form of real estate, which is illiquid. Bonds on appeal are for the purpose of making sure that if the a...

the justice system takes entirely too long, with too many appeals, and it's 100% weighted to the rich/popular.
I feel like every system in our society is weighted to the rich. It's one of the main features of capitalism I'm afraid.

Chiefs trade CB L’Jarius Snead to the Titans, for a 2025 3rd-round pick, in addition to a 2024 7th-round pick.
Awful return for one of the best corners in the league, have to think his congenital knee problem played into it though.

Russia is far from blameless in this, but neither is the US and Europe blameless. Russia absolutely deserves blame for starting the war, but it was not without provocation, including the expansion of NATO counties right up to Russia's front door. Putin raged against NATO’s expansion toward Russia’s...

It's one of the things that I love about my organization.

You're correct, I couldn't remember which SC town I wasn't visiting shared it :)

Fields is pretty close to the trendline, so you just have to cut the # of sacks down. Lawrence (and Dobbs) and to a lesser extent Wilson are on the high side, which would indicate that they're taking "worse" sacks (in terms of EPA). Meanwhile, the Giants are so bad that Daniel Jones's 80+ sacks are ...
