  1. While we're factoring things into the equation, this is also a major issue. Training time. Hell I've spent more time training volunteers to direct people to their gates than what most officers are getting.
  2. The acorn doesn't fall far from the tree...
  3. I've had a couple of broadcast industry owners relate they felt their smartest son was their daughter. (This was back before saying such things became politically incorrect) One owned radio stations just outside DC and in Roanoke, Va. He'd keep shipping his sons South to keep them out of his hair.
  4. Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/fud
  5. When you get corrected by Fox News. Tucker and Hannity would have treated him with kid gloves, or at least come up with a new conspiracy to blame it on M&M consumption
  6. Rona gets to continue financing The Former Guy’s attorney fees. Ron D suffers a setback in the Insurrection Party sweepstakes
  7. TBH in my fantasy world I'd like to see them go after someone like Heinicke depending on what Washington does. (I see them rolling the dice with Howell to start the season). I think he would fit perfectly into the season. I'll go with conventional wisdom and think they'll draft to try to improve the defense with their first two picks. Possibly take a chance on a developmental QB in the 4th round. (Tanner McKee anyone???)
  8. I'm sure Eagles fans thought the same thing about Carson Wentz when they drafted Jalen Hurts. It never hurts to have a back up plan just in case something happens. Goff getting hit by a bus or a 300 plus LB DE. I like Goff and hopes he stays around a long time, but the current backup situation isn't great and I'm not a fan of band-aids (see Washington) If there is a guy they like available in the first round grab him. I'm not completely sold on Richardson, but I'm sure a couple years as a backup is better than Sudfeld or Blough
  9. Roy Face, 5'9" master of the forkball. He won 18 games in relief in 1959. One of my favorites in my pre teens, a couple of lifetimes ago.
  10. I was just reading an article in 538 about the flack the Eagles received for drafting Jalen Hurts in 2020. Now granted he was a second rounder (#53) but the Eagles had Carson Wentz who then was still considered a viable if not good QB. He had just signed a $128 million dollar extension in June. Howie Roseman said having a good QB was the bedrock of the Eagles philosophy. No one could have predicted that Wentz would turn to crap so quickly. That said, I still wouldn't use either of the Lions first two picks on a QB. I would prefer to build up the defense first. But if someone like Richardson was still available in the second round I might be tempted to take a look. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-the-eagles-built-a-winner-by-overdrafting-quarterbacks/
  11. I'm not sure Junior Porter lasts to 18. 6 may be a stretch especially if you're looking for a DT/ DE. Is he worth giving up a pick to move up a bit from 18?
  12. A second rate version of Mama Bear, Queen of Grifters
  13. Does anybody still shop there (BB&B). The last time I was drug into the store it was full of crap. That's what happens when beancounters take over.
  14. He'd lose a large percentage of his caucus
  15. Has anybody explained to Steve Scalise in terms a third grader could understand that it is Congress' job to set the budget, not the executive branch. Damn, I learned that in fourth grade social studies.
  16. Scott Rolen breaking the HOF news to his parents
  17. Cool story The abbreviated version…The winner was a lifeguard who continued to work between heats.
  18. The gentleman who owns the local winery, Patrick Duffler, was instrumental in the Marlboro F1 racing team that won championships in 1974 and 1976. !974 with Fittipaldi. Nice guy, about 80 now. Bought the land in 1983 when his then wife asked him what he wanted to do important with the rest of his life. So they bought a farm. Planted their first grapes in 1985. Their current operation consists of 300 acres, more than 40 in vines. Small speciality hotel, restaurant, wedding and event venue and tasting room. He's planted most of his property with trees, and has added walking trails this year.As well as some of the best wine I've tasted. You usually see him on the grounds in fatigues, His favorite saying is that any man who looks into the mirror and thinks he's important is an asshole.
  19. i'm assuming he hasn't played golf with Trump anytime lately then...
  20. Rachael spent a good period of time on the start this evening
  21. Latest from AXIOS,,, https://www.axios.com/2023/01/22/monterey-park-mass-shooting-california
  22. I agree about live theatre. I'm also one of those folks who saw Hamilton three times (twice in Chicago and once in Detroit) and enjoyed each performance. Each time I took away something different. BTW if you ever get a chance to see To Kill a Mocking Bird with the touring company, do so. We saw it last Summer in DC. Richard Thomas had the Atticus Finch Finch roll. The remade Broadway play featured Jeff Daniels. The play was written by Aaron Sorkin. Much better than the 50 year old movie
  23. The investigation was rigged from the start
  24. Later Crosby, with Snarky Puppy, one of my favorite albums
