  1. Past hour
  2. At least drugs are a straightforward vice. They don't come promising salvation, just a temporary escape that will eventually kill you.
  3. I said this in the offseason and was shunned. When they resigned Draymond to that huge deal, it was over. Trade them all for picks.
  4. There was a time when I would have laughed at this too. However, this is 'Muricuh, or at least the 40% of it that decides national/statewide elections nowadays. I've finally made peace with the idea that if this clown is re-elected, the country will A - get what it deserves and B - eventually wake up to the danger from these fascist idiots. As with the civil war, there will be many who suffer without having done anything wrong, but that's just the way things work. I can't control anything other than my own vote, which has been shown to be worth about as much as a free agent signing by Lord Farquaad, i.e., a ham sammich and maybe a bag of chips on a good day.
  5. "mauraders"? No way dude, if I am by myself I get to slap my own sign up. For now, let's just go with "Camp JJ" until I can think of something better. I've got a warm fire with enough smores, gin, and all-beef hotdogs to last a few years out here... So back to your little colt mccoy strawman. By the way Colt is a good comp for Bo Nix, but I digress... Not even sure why you brought that guy into the discussion. I was comparing Maye to JJ. In college. That's it. JJ is superior to Maye in several metrics that are related to arm talent. Accuracy is important. In college, JJ has been a more accurate passer than Maye, and has a better TD to Int ratio, and blows every other QB in college football AWAY on 3rd and long situations. If you want to contend that 3rd down execution can be removed from the discussion, I'd buy that since maybe that falls under the "talent" column and not "arm talent". So if you are isolating that Maye can throw a deeper ball than JJ, then I'd agree. Perhaps he can throw it faster? Not sure if that is even worth quantifying. I think JJ threw 61 mph at the combine? But bottom line for me, McCarthy is a better football player than Drake Maye is right now. JJ executes at a higher level and is a more accurate passer than Maye.
  6. Out of all the underdogs tomorrow who might win, I like Creighton the most. I expect Houston, Purdue, and Marquette to win, although I have been underestimating NC State the last three weeks.
  7. Today
  8. Did he regress or did the offense overall? I think a lot of people would argue that throwing for 300 yards and 2 touchdowns per game is pretty good for a QB dealing with the installation of a new offense and a significant downgrade in both receiving and O-line talent. I mean, which season means more when you consider the transition they're about to make to shaky NFL teams: The guy who played in God Mode with a stacked offensive roster in his 5th year or the guy who adapted and dealt with a lot of adversity switching offenses and dealing with lackluster talent around him in his 2nd year? Daniels played versus superior talent, so that mitigates it a bit, but Maye just had a college year very similar to the year he's about to have if the team that drafts him has him start. Showing he could still thrive despite a new offense and weak O-line isn't nothing considering that's exactly what he's likely to be dealing with this year in the NFL. I'm certainly no expert, and I'm torn as to which guy figures to be better, but while figuring out how I feel about each candidate I've found that it helps to be honest. I don't think Maye regressed at all. I think he did the best he could despite the team around him disintegrating significantly year-to-year.
  9. Jordan Reed just sprained his ankle reading your post. OUT 6-8 weeks.
  10. Nelson made Bacot look like he had cement in his shoes. I was really impressed with that kid's game tonight. Also not the least bit surprised that UNC is the first 1 seed to fall.
  11. Houston, Purdue, UCONN - all still alive (only UCONN played) Big moves on the second tier Only Tennesee left (and they didn't advance yet) UNC, Iowa St and Arizona OUT! Duke and Gonzaga on the third tier. Best case, I will have 4 of the elite eight. Worse case, 3. Clemson/Alabama is a bracket buster.
  12. Virginia deserves the guy they elected. Next time,, maybe don't fall for the obvious con.
  13. 2022 is a weird season to evaluate, I feel like. I’m totally on board with cutting him some slack there, given new teammates and coaching and playbook (and zip code). Definite step up in competition. And you have to like 17 TDs to 3 picks. But he was just SO gunshy, presumably in large part due to uncertainty. He just wouldn’t let the ball fly, which is clear when you watch him but even just in the numbers. The 2022 pressure to sack ratio is deeply disturbing, and 7.5 Y/A with those playmakers is just awful — that number placed him squarely between Kedon Slovis (Pitt) and Graham Mertz (Wisconsin), among noteworthy names, neither of whom should be drafted at all. It wasn’t a bad season. But it’s probably comparable (at best) to his freshman year on its face — and I think the step up in competition is more than balanced out by the fact that he was a senior and a 4th-year starter (as compared to a true freshman). He was fine, but I still think it was mostly just plateaued from where he was in 2019. Which I think was the case right up until the day he absolutely destroyed Grambling and the light bulb went on (in a major, major way).
  14. Nooo. Wouldn’t blame Curry if he left tho.
  15. Oil Company Repped by Adams’ Campaign Law Firm Got a $91 Million Deal to Fuel City Vehicles. How? On the morning of Feb. 3, 2022, in the early days of Mayor Eric Adams’ administration, an executive at a national fuel oil company, Sprague Operating Resources, got a surprise email from the City of New York. Sprague believed they had a draft multi-million dollar contract in hand to provide the entire city government heavy-duty vehicle fleet with renewable diesel, powering everything from garbage trucks to police tow trucks. But to their surprise, a Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) bureaucrat informed them that the agency had been approached by another vendor — and that DCAS would soon reopen the bidding. What the bureaucrat did not mention was that the CEO of that other vendor, Approved Oil of Brooklyn, was a three-time donor to Adams’ 2021 campaign. And that Approved Oil had hired Pitta Bishop, the politically wired law firm that advises Adams’ campaign, to lobby the Adams administration to try and procure contracts from the city.

  16. I have previously called Daniels' 2022 season "good, not great" and I'll stand by that, looking at his entire production that also included just under 900 yards rushing and 11 more TDs. Was just using "excellent" per the prior description of his 2019.
  17. Biden administration restores threatened species protections dropped by Trump The Biden administration on Thursday restored rules to protect imperiled species and shield their habitat from destruction after the measures were rolled back under former President Donald Trump. Among the changes, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will reinstate a decades-old regulation that mandates blanket protections for animals and plants newly classified as threatened. That means officials won’t have to craft specific plans to shield each individual species while protections are pending, as has been done recently with North American wolverines in the Rocky Mountains, alligator snapping turtles in the Southeast and spotted owls in California. The restoration of more protective regulations rankled Republicans who said the Endangered Species Act was being wielded too broadly and to the detriment of economic growth. Meanwhile, wildlife advocates were only partially satisfied, saying some potentially harmful changes under Trump were untouched. The blanket protections rule had been dropped in 2019 as part of a suite of changes to the application of the species law under Trump that were encouraged by industry. Those changes came as extinctions accelerate globally due to habitat loss and other pressures. Another rule issued Thursday clarifies that officials must decide if species merit threatened or endangered designations regardless of the potential economic costs of bestowing protections. That’s already government practice, but the 2019 Trump rules caused confusion because they removed an explicit directive to ignore economic impacts, said Fish and Wildlife Service Deputy Assistant Director Gina Shultz.

  18. But an "excellent season" for a freshman is different than for a senior. 17 TDs and 2 INTs for a true freshman is excellent. For a senior it's more meh.
  19. Yeah, those of us who “don’t follow college football enough” have been fooled into thinking that Michigan had pass-catching talent. That a Day 2 receiver (Wilson), a Day 3 receiver (Johnson), a Day 3 tight end (Barner), a likely Day 2 tight end next year (Loveland), and the best RB duo in the country (both of whom were weapons in the pass game) is a strong group. Most college teams have 6 surefire upper-class draft picks at the skill positions to throw to. You’re 100% right that they leaned on their OL and run game a lot. That was their calling card. Moreso than any elite team since the Jalen Hurts Bama team, probably. They had a special group, and everything you said that I didn’t quote is true — well-coached, cohesive team, good leaders, all that stuff. And that includes McCarthy. But again, there are those of us among the uneducated masses who think maybe one of the main reasons they didn’t totally trust their passing game, even in big situations, is because their QB singlehandedly put 14 points on the board for a grossly inferior TCU team in last year’s CFP Semis and dug them a hole too deep to escape.
  20. @ixcuincle Thats totally astroturf. Biden has turned against Israel. In fact he even acknowledged they have a point. I would love to see interviews with these protestors. Looks like NYT had some interviews. Seems like these protestors also protested muslim ban in 2017. At least the first name I googled...
