I can't 'splain it, but so far I've had pretty much zero interest in our draft, who we might get, who has visited, who we are reported to be targeting, etc, etc...none. I actully forgot the draft was coming up until I saw a tweet about it lol. This is a bizarre feeling...can't explain it. Only thing I could think of (and I laughed it off as unlikely) is that the roster is probably as solid as it's been in 30 years and we already have what could be our franchise QB on the roster who is being given every opportunity to prove that he will be. OLine needs genuine upgrade but I don't get excited about the draft because a top rate guard might fall to our spot lol...It's not due to losing interest in the team, if anything my interest is highter now that Snyder is gonna be on his way out. I just don't care for some reason.

I even used to read all the long-ass write-ups posted on these threads for like a month or two before the draft...came in here now to do that and gave up like 2 sentences in on one post lol. Was like "Eh" and kept scrolling. What's a good way of getting hyped up about this draft? I need suggestions...

I think it was other sports, but he way still doing it in the facility, which is also against the rules

Yeah, I would imagine betting while on the team's facilities would be a massive no-no...

I would like to understand why someone gets 6 games, but others get indefinite suspensions.  

Responding over here instead lol...I read that for 6 games, it's gambling on other sports but not the NFL. No idea if that's true...

Not sure where to put this or if it's already been posted, but...been nice knowing ya, Shaka...

DeSantis's Florida board just discovered another “11th-hour agreement” shielding Disney from its oversight

 

Disney has left a world of unwelcome surprises for the new Florida board overseeing its district.

Republican governor Ron DeSantis’s new appointees, already irked by a multi-year development agreement that left them with little oversight beyond basic roads and infrastructure, have discovered another damning piece of paperwork: A Disney subsidiary that provides utility services to the central Florida district—including the Walt Disney World Resort—signed a last-minute contract that allows the Mouse House to set its own utility rates at its Orlando theme parks through 2032, board Martin Garcia said at a public meeting yesterday (Apr. 19).

Garcia “learnt for the first time about one of these new 11th-hour agreements entered into between Disney and the district” last Friday (Apr. 14), Reuters quoted him as saying. Like with the other agreements, the board will “have to evaluate the legality of that agreement,” he said, adding that, “I’ve never heard of such a thing.”

I'm not a conspiracy theory believer, but this came across as a bit more legit than most...

Sounds like they're trying to fend off the shareholder lawsuit:

 

Fox News Dominion lawsuit – live: Network to benefit from tax write-off from $787m payout

 

Fox News appears to be set to benefit from a tax write-off from its $787m payout to Dominion Voting Systems.

 

Fox Corporation executive Brian Nick confirmed to Lever that the historic settlement is tax deductible but would not reveal the amount that the network will be able to write off.

 

However the revelation means that the landmark payout – the largest in US history for a libel case – might not harm Fox News’ profits as much as expected.

From Rolling Stone:

"(FOX) could deduct up to $213 million from their income taxes under provisions in the American tax code that allow companies to write off legal bills as “ordinary and necessary” business expenses. Since the dispute was settled between two companies, and not with the government, Fox can claim tax benefits on the payment"

"Just roll out of bed, vote, and roll back into bed..."

Suuuuuuuuure.....

I will say, though, that I am absolutely LOVING how the GOP continues to underestimate young voters as being too lazy to put in the political effort and too indoctrinated to understand what republicans are doing.

I guess the takeoff itself is how I understood it.  He said everything else was just gravy, part of aerospace engineering is **** blowing up and being able to see why, etc.  He seemed pretty happy and not like just an Elon fanboy.

I don't follow any of this SpaceX stuff (if that's what it was lol)...from what you said this guy was saying, it's a bit like the toy rocket scenes from the movie October Sky. Their first 29 or whatever attempts never made it far, but they kept improving each time and the kids doing the experiments were always excited even when they crashed or blew up lol...

Fox will never be held accountable, thats what I get for getting my hopes up...getting my hopes up behind a corporation at that...

The ONLY thing that would make me less irritated, is if somehow Dominion figured out that the amount a jury would award them would likely be significantly less than $800B. But even then, I hoped that they would say "You know what, screw it. It's worth losing $300 million to see you guys squirm and embarrass yourselves in front of the entire nation, and we want this crap on the record for all time."

(and yes, I know that it all went deep into fantasy land when I had a company being ok with losing $300 million dollars lol)
