1984Echoes

The "not serious" logic being used is just beyond ridiculous. I just can't... anymore. I've had enough. You can take the baton from here on out...

The flipside: If someone is crapping all over the dinner table then who has an appetite? Wanna eat dinner right now, when someone is ****ting on the table right in front of you? If it's just a fart, everyone goes "Ewww, yuck!" and then laughs about it. And continues eating dinner. But as in everything, there are limits to what is acceptable versus too far gone. I shouldn't be the one to talk because I don't contribute all that much to any of the game threads... a little bit here and there. But it does get sort of gross in some of these game threads sometimes, which to me is just a bit unappetizing. Just my 2 cents.

It's always worth it to try. But removing nukes from Korea...? North Korea will NEVER agree to that... EVER. So you would need to provide some documentary evidence on that bolded part... otherwise, hogwash. But... even though Trump is an imbecile, if he had some remains of soldiers sent back to the US (I vaguely remember that also...); it's a positive. I don't want to declare Trump 100% bad, cause no one is 100% anything, good or bad... But getting back remains would go on the positive side of the ledger, one of a few that he managed...

Through executions and self-induced famine wiping out percentages of the population every few years... What a jackass. (Applies to both, although Kim is obviously the more deadly of the two and the other asshat is mostly hot air.)

PS: One other point: The Astros offer was PRIOR to free agency. One week. Why are you comparing this offer to free agency offers? He had already turned that offer DOWN when the other offers came in. You're trying to resurrect that offer, just so you can compare it to his FA offers in order to make a point? He wanted length. Twins and Tigers were willing to go 10 years. With serious offers that offered a higher AAV than the Mets or Giants offers. He opted for longer term and lower AAV. Oh... by the way, the Astros offer ALSO fits this definition. Lower years, higher AAV, so he turned them down and went with the longest term he could get his hands on. They were all serious offers. You seem, curiously, stuck in a position here... Is there some kind of ax you are trying to grind here? Against Avila maybe...? I get the dislike, but your position is not based on logic. It appears to be based on emotion.

That does NOT make those other offers not-serious.

How about we try some facts: What did the Tigers offer Correa? 10 years $275 mill = $27.5MM AAV (For some reason I thought it was $295 mill but I was wrong...) What did the Twins offer Correa? 10 years $285 mill = $28.5MM AAV What did the Giants offer Correa? 13 years $350 mill = $26.9MM AAV What did the Mets offer Correa? 12 years $315 mill = $26.25MM AAV What is chasf calling the Tigers Offer? Not Serious. Come again?

No... It's TNL. The New Lions. There is no "same old" associated with this team whatsoever, so your acronym is inappropriate. In fact.... You should be ashamed of yourself!!! For inappropriate language...! 😉

NOT the Same Old Lions...!!! No matter whatever else you can say about this game... but these are the NEW Lions, NOT SOL...!

1) It was $295 IIRC. 2) Subjective opinion. No one beat the Tigers offer. The $330 mill is completely meaningless. Serious offer.

I can ask for $600 million and not a penny less and if someone offers $450 million that IS a serious offer. If no one else offers above $375 mill and I take the $450 mill... Tell me again how that is NOT a serious offer? Just because it was lower than what I SAID I would not accept less of...? Any player can ask for the moon. $295 mill absolutely was a serious offer. Go ahead and stick to your subjective guns... I get it. But I'm not changing my mind either. They made a serious offer for Correa (sorry to sound like a broken record), OBJECTIVELY.

They didn't make that offer as some kind of joke. It was a serious offer. "This is the best we can do." Not quite $300M, but that's a serious offer. "We understand if you're going to look for a better offer. But we really want you on our team."

Negotiations for Yamamoto open up Tuesday. Obviously... I'm keeping an eye on that... 😉

My story wouldn't be much different. I've watched this movie so many times I've lost count. My only problem is that I've discovered a nice library of classical music that I love but I never seem to have enough patience for it and always revert back to my rock-n-roll. I very infrequently sit down to just enjoy classical. Same with jazz... there is so much that I love but... my impatience again always throws me back to rnr.

Colorado is ruling tonight I think on blocking Trump from being on the ballot due to the 14th Amendment (started a coup against the United States)... If they block him... I'd like to see a "domino effect".

It IS a bit fun to think about them making it though... And facing a fully-loaded Chiefs for a rematch or the Ravens for a rematch...

It's all they need, at this point...

I don't want to "declare" for the Super Bowl for the Lions right now either... it's too early... But they DO have a chance.

I believe Awosika and Sorsdal have already played this year and held their own... I believe. Not the best situation, Vatai is already out for the year... But no better time than now for these two to take steps forward and "next-man-up" at Guard. I believe Ragnow and Glasgow are at Center and RG so really it's just one of them... but the one not starting at LG will still be active as the top backup on Sunday...

Couple points: Israel is opening safe-corridors out of Al-Shifa. There was at one point a week or two ago over 10,000 in Al-Shifa. There is now less than 2,500. Stating Israel is not allowing anyone to leave Al-Shifa is BS. Sorry. Hamas shoots at people leaving Al-Shifa and other hospitals to try to keep the Gazans trapped as hostages/ human shields at those hospitals. And shoots at people in the safe corridors trying to escape. It is Hamas that is holding both Israeli's and Gazans hostage. FYI. Hamas has hidden 200,000 gallons of fuel and refuses to give any to hospitals or any other Gazan, they've hidden stores of food and water. But you know... for Hamas' purposes: **** their fellow Palestinians. They could care less if Palestinian babies die in hospitals without fuel. As long as Israel gets the blame for Hamas' war crimes.. they're fine with dead Palestinians. The higher the Palestinian death count the better for Hamas. Bombing south Gaza? Do you mean, Hamas is attacking Israeli forces with missiles from south Gaza and Israel is returning fire? Because that would be the truth, versus Hamas propaganda. I'm not interested in Hamas' lies or propaganda. Just to set the record straight.

They have ZERO ideas on how to govern... So why not just declare a 9-month vacation for House members...? At least we wouldn't have to listen to their BS for awhile... It'd be a vacation for all of us as well...

I think we need a Jasper at SS. From Jasper to Jace to Colt to Spencer = another Tigers Triple Play!!!

It's on NHL TV... if you have cable...

In other words: Much Ado About Nothing.

Just a WAG but... I'm going to guess chasing National Championship's are not on DC's radar... And A&M is not really even in that picture so that's a monumental risk right there. Chasing Vince Lombardi Trophies are on his immediate radar, just a guess... Sheila will make the money right, and I think DC will be cool about what the right numbers are... I ain't worried about that.
