  1. This team sadly isn't 1 QB away from being good. And I understand that finding a franchise QB is tantamount, but they also have a chance to do something now that they likely won't be able to do in the near future. Set themselves up to make multiple first round picks for several years. To me, the only way forward is to trade out of pick 2. That said, if it's Daniel's at 2. Good for them. If it's Maye. Good for them also.
  2. This one is hard..but that Ferrari 308 GTS is calling me. Honorable mention is Baby though.
  3. Usually followed by I feel good about Notre Dame football and/or Yankees baseball.
  4. I checked ours out of curiosity and we're flying Airbus 388 there and Airbus 320 and then Airbus 330 on the way back. Glad to avoid Boeing as well right now.
  5. Some of them will allow to you pick without fees once you get to the checkin (24hrs or less) period. But it's definitely ymmv with airlines now. We didn't want to pay 200+ to pick seats on our flight to London via British Airways this weekend. Definitely feel like we are rolling the dice on that. It is free though with them at the 24hr mark...or if you are a higher tier member. We are flying Aer Lingus back from Paris, and seat selection with them was free. Go figure.
  6. Assuming there is no housing bubble and maybe thinking outside of the box (or not)..is there a way to implement 40 year home loans and somehow cap lender interest rates to something more reasonable to make the current level of housing prices more affordable? That said, where I live also has some other factors that need to be addressed to make current housing affordable here. 1. I pay $10+k in property tax alone based on a house that has a current taxable value of roughly $660k (with a zillow est value of over $900k). My father in law, whose house is est worth over $1.2 mil, pays less than $1500 in property tax because the taxable value of his house is only $87k. Prop 13 has seriously ****ed up property taxes and housing prices in California. 2. Insurance. I keep seeing friends losing their home insurance because the major companies are pulling out of the state or refusing to insure in risk areas (even cancelling existing policies when someone scored s 4 out of 30 for fire risk). This leaves them often with only high priced insurance options. Until this is fixed, I can't imagine housing being affordable again here.
  7. Agreed. But I still don't think he was a bust. Leave that to players chosen at #2 like Rick Mirer, Ryan Leaf, or Blair Thomas. That offseason before the draft, the Saints signed Brees and then decided they needed a weapon to go with him. Fwiw that 2006 draft wasn't that great when you look back at it. Especially at RB. Had the Saints picked #2 the following year, they likely would have taken Megatron (or AP). 🤦‍♂️
  8. I'm not sure bust fits though. He had 2 1k rushing seasons so that shows that he was productive on the ground. He also had 80+ and 70+ catch seasons to start his pro career. If anything he was prob ahead of his time in the NFL. Im sure he'd be a legit weapon in this pass crazy league now. Assuming his injury history didn't knock him out. I'm just not sure giving him back his award makes sense now after he got caught breaking the cardinal sin of college football back then. Even if it would be permitted now (not sure if some of it would though tbh).
  9. Thre only book I ever read by him gave me nightmares. I liked it (the book, The Only Good Indians).. But jeez.
