injuries that cluster to one position have killed more than one football team. They aren't going to go 16-1 and if they do lose this one it doesn't have terrible downstream implications, as long as they get something back at RB soon. But it will be interesting to see what kind of rabbits Campbell can pull out his hat through. He's proving to be a creative coach so he'll have something cooked up, whether or not it works!

possibly, but it will be interesting to see what Mobley's ceiling is going to be once in his mid twenties when 7 footers often start hitting their stride. Full disclosure, I was hoping for Mobley in that draft. The danger with Cade seemed to be that he would be a 'tweener'. That didn't turn out to be the the problem, instead it's been the injuries, and he still has to shoot better when he does get on the court if he's going to be franchise player.

2020 Draft win shares: Mobley: 13.7 Greene. 2.5 Cunningham: -0.6 You are what your record says you are until you change it.

Jordan did turn 2 to his side, but lost 4 he had yesterday so the net is 2 more down.

lost two more. Will the fact that he's going backward mean the conference decides to go another was without more votes? We can only hope.

And she'd be a good choice.

yeah - I'm not sure I'm seeing what they want the tackler to do differently either, but you assume that must have something more specific in mind - maybe just don't roll up on him?

does this make any sense? Or should we ever expect that from McCarthy?

probably. But if it gets to a bipartisan deal, what will matter is not the person but the rules package that comes with him. But McHenry works well enough.

Hope he enjoys Canada.

Manning tends to be as good as his fastball is on any given outing and his mechanics were not consistent from start to start last season so his fast ball was up and down. There was a pretty good inverse correlation between his velocity and his results. If he ever gets a chance to pitch more regularly, and his ability to access more consistent velocity straightens out, I think you will see a more consistent pitcher. And sure he might not, but if a guy has shown he has the arm to throw hard at least half the time do you really want to bet that another team isn't going to unlock that as soon as you move him? It's a much more straightforward task than fixing a bad breaking ball.

Never root for OSU. Just...never.

The other question is whether as a society we can afford both technologies side by side or if it become too uneconomical. 95% of all driving is short trip. If *all* that were done with EVs and you still had an IC car in the garage for long distance travel or occasional hauling, transportation use of liquid fuel at a rate of 5% of today's is not a significant ecological carbon load. But there are certainly problems from both the cost and regulatory sides. You'd need a system that insures IC use was only kept to an actual minimum and didn't leak back into everyday use. That could probably be done with pricing incentives or a carbon cap and trade system. And would a liquid fuel distribution system remain economically viable at that small a scale. But right now we are in panic mode trying to hit zero carbon. Which is fine for now. But that is probably not a realistic or necessary target. The planet already has a huge natural carbon cycle with or without us. We don't have to nor can we bring it to a full stop, we just have to get to where we stop messing it up, and that will be work enough.

spot on. OTOH, you never know when a goalie might just surprise you for a season - so we can hope for that.

Ha! I like Manning's potential exactly because he can be effective without high K's, that is, he's not a slider dependent pitcher. If a guy can successfully get batters out with a fastball and change or curve, I think the K rates will drift up as he learns to sequence better, but he'll be more consistent in the long term and less prone to implosion when he can't find the feel for that slider and less slider dependence is also more resistance to platooning.

You would think it would be hard to take the word of man who refuses to ratify objective reality as meaningful. But what do I know, it's been a long time since I saw the world through a GOP belief filter.

right - there is no free lunch. If an IC vehicle's mileage goes down doing a given tow, an EV's battery life is going to go down in the same manner.

Manning has the talent - can he stay on the field? He's been snake-bit so far, no reason for that to continue - yet there are always players for whom it does.

McCarthy got to 217 by giving stuff away to the point he neutered himself. What does Jordan have at this point he can buy votes with? Will other members believe any promises he makes to them? They all knew McCarthy was going to swing any way the wind blew - do they actually trust Jordan to keep his word even if they don't like/disagree with him?

Adjournment. No immediate 2nd vote.

there's a dozen. It's Donuts for the Dems

Nancy laughing in her seat.

now 6, 7, 8, 9

5 defections so far unless someone caves before the vote closes.

Buck didn't vote when called.
