The NFL draft is just 15 days away, and our beat writers here, you know them well, Omar Kelly, Armando Salguero, Adam Beasley etc. have been silent. Usually at this time there are names floating around that we are especially interested in, but not this year. I like it. Keeps us all guessing, as it should be. Perhaps Grier and Co. are also running a tight ship, which should also be commended.
I’m still completely unsure where we’re going at #13, or if we even stay at #13, or move up, or move back. I do think all of the above are possible depending on what happens in front of us, if we have enough interest in a certain player to make a move up, or if we’re just staying true to our board ready to select whomever we think is the best fit for our team. Will the Cards really take Kyler Murray at #1? If they don’t, does he fall? Is Dwayne Haskins really set for a fall as some prognosticators are saying? If he does, do we gladly stop his fall, or do we continue his slide and take a DE, DT or OL?
Is there a QB in this draft that we have a strong interest in? It could be Will Grier, who’s a projected 2nd or 3rd pick. It could be Tyree Jackson, who could go anywhere from the 3rd RD or later. Heck, maybe it’s Gardner Minshew or Easton Stick. No one in MIA really seems to have an idea, which is pretty surprising.
We know we need DL help, especially at DE. Sack production from our current crop of defensive ends in the NFL is abysmal. Yes, Jayrone Elliott led the AAF with 7 sacks, but in the NFL in 3 seasons with the Green Bay Packers he had only 4 sacks total. In other words, temper your enthusiasm. There could be a few very nice prospects who may make it to #13, such as DE’s Montez Sweat, Clelin Ferrell and Rashan Gary. We might have a choice of DT’s such as Ed Oliver and Christian Wilkins. On the OL side we may have a chance at Jawaan Taylor of Jonah Williams. Any one of these players would help our team going forward.
So let’s all hope for the best for our draft this year, but also understand that no draft will sate the majority of Dolphins fans, because we all have different ideas of how it should be done. Looking forward to April 25 to see who our 1st pick is!

There goes your Wilson dreams!
I honestly would have been shocked if they let him go. I have always thought the reports were wrong. Funny thing is Mike Francesa who thinks he knows everything was asked yesterday about Russell Wilson before he was re-signed, and he said “I know they want to get rid of him, they definitely want to get rid of him, but the compensation will be very high” WRONG!!!
i never thought Seattle would cave to Wilsons deadline. they could have just franchised him next year.
It almost looked like Seattle was setting up for a draft day trade!
It still pisses me off we have to get an OT this year AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree, and it will piss me off even more if we take one at #13
We need a STARTER quality OT.
You usually don’t get that after the second!
It just puts us in a position to reach!
I hate being pigeon holed into a pick!
I didn’t say after the 2nd, I just said #13.
So I watched the Alabama Oklahoma game last night.
You can have Murry! He should have been intercepted at least 3 times on drops!
Tua made a better impression!
Buggs moved up in my opinion!
Patrick Sutain JR is not his dad!
Buggs to me has always been a 2nd round guy. I knew when some of the sites were projecting him later it was going to turn around. Watch almost any game and you will see impact plays from him, and a lot of attention put towards him that opened up a lot of plays for other players to make.
Its possible he could be a guy who sneaks into the 1st, like at the end.
Tua had a stretch where he wasnt all that good and made a good bit of mistakes, partially because he was injured and playing through it, or at least thats my assessment, but i dont sit and let a QB pass us, just because he looks good. H could stay, he could get injured, there is too many variables when considering an entire college season.
Im not a fan of Murray, i think unlike Baker, he is more of a limited player that the offense and lack of defenses in the big 12, brought out some of the magic in him. He is talented, and he will work in the NFL in the right system, but i also dont want a player dictating the system we run as much as i want the player to fit our system. If tweaks need to be made to make it a better fit, thats one thing, but having to completely build the system for one person, im just not a fan of that.
NFL schedules come out tomorrow! Yay!
In other words, tomorrow starts deliberations on the 2019 Fest date!
Actually not my favorite part of the process.. You guys never seem to get that the worse the opposing team the better the seats/lower the price…. until the seats have to be paid for and sat in of course. 🙂
Ahh, we go to one game, let’s make it a good one, and of course fit available dates for the majority of folks to attend. That’s not easy
You dont know who the worst teams will be until they start losing.
Mike E — seems in a rebuild year picking the worst possible opponent would also be most likely to provide a good game.
“Agent Mark Rodgers told me his job was to make sure Wilson stayed in Seattle, with the best deal possible” — and hence all the Wilson trade rumors. That $35 mil per year probably made Rosen’s trade value and the top QBs draft stock go up though. Nothing like QB talent on a cheap contract.
Thats ridiculous money i get keeping him in Seattle, but they will regret that contract before too long.
I feel like it was pretty obvious he was going to stay in Seattle despite the rumors
I think it was just because the way the negotiations went own. He kind of strng armed the conversation, which made people think there was a rift, which it wasnt it was just a negotiation strategy that obviously paid off.
D – It’s only ridiculous because there’s a salary cap.
Well, yeah. Is there an alternate reality where there isnt one that you are in simultaneous to this one? LOL JKBB
Piggi – You listen to Francesa?
D – He (Stanger) means by ticket price. Those are determined when the schedule comes out.
Oh, because you are buying a bock of tickets. I haven never had to do that, only a couple, and those actually can get cheaper the longer you wait due to the performance of the teams as the season goes on.

——————————————
My thought is a rebuild year people are going just to enjoy the game or to see the new system, and less likely about the opponent. Id guess later int he year games would probably be less crowded and cheaper.
For sure end of the season games can be real cheap, but Fest window is late Sept through whatever 2 weeks before Thanksgiving is. That’s become clear over the years. Hope you can make.
We’ll see which teams have games in the Fest Zone, but a big part of it is how they travel rather than just how good they are on the field.
Here’s our home game: Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots, New York Jets, Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Los Angeles Chargers, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins.
Pats and Jets are always real tough (too many transplanted North East folks and travel downs). On my wish list are Bills, Bengals and Chargers.
I have friend that’s a Chargers fan that is going to that game, he’s hoping our Fest coincides.
We would probably get a beat down, but the Chargers don’t travel well. Why fly across the country for the weather when you have it already?
Agreed, and they won’t. My pal lives in Joisey
That’s not exactly a holdout…… but maybe a sign Reshad would like a trade.
I would like a trade too! More importantly, I’d love a 3rd RD pick
Man i just read an article that really kinda of pisses me off. It basically shows you how cocked up our political system has become. The article was about “smart gun” technology and how its advancement ha been completely shut down by both sides of the political spectrum.
So if you have a phone now you know about the way you can unlock it with different technologies, but a common way is fingerprint authentication. Since the mid 90’s they have been suggesting to do this with firearms so that the weapon itself can only be fired by the person that its biometrically assigned to. They have also come up with other ideas for use with RFID technology, meaning you have to have an item (in some cases a watch or bracelet) where the RFID transmitter is embedded that has to be within 15 inches of the gun so that it unlocks to be fired.
Conservative legislators backed by the NRA have opposed it because the technologies can fail and therefore leave the gun owner vulnerable in the case of home invasion, etc. Now of course this is a unlikely event and a theoretical and unlikely failure to that unlikely event. So opposition seems to me to be just a stone wall to any sort of gun restriction.
Thats not whats truly troubling, though. More recently, the democrats are opposing the advancement of the technology since any advancement in the technology is seen as an advancement of guns, of which they are opposed. So now, companies are either having to completely bear the burnt of the development of a safer gun technology, one that would ultimately render gun theft useless, because of a political pissing contest.
Now this wouldn’t have stopped Parkland, but it could have Sandy Hook (as he used his parents weapons), and in general i cant see too many legitimate arguments against it, but skipping that discussion, i just find it completely ridiculous that we are so divided by politics (well and other factors) that we are literally letting good things, good ideas, fall to the way side. This technology has been, and was attempted to be introduced in the mid 90’s and yet over 20 years later it still isnt voluntarily available.
Yeah political pissing matches put a halt on lots of sensible ideas. It’s very annoying.
Yet there are all sorts of Bio-metric safes and other locking devices that use electronic devices.
That’s interesting though?
I’d have to think about it before I’d buy one?

I read somewhere a rumor that the 49’er might do a player trade for Solomon Fisher, and one of the suggestions was it would be to us for Jones. Maybe they would be willing to trade a pick or at least swap picks with us, which would be a significant move up in whatever round they swapped. Maybe Jones and swap of 2nds and we could grab a blue chipper that fell some.
Who is Solomon Fisher?
Lol a personal friend i meant Solomon Thomas lol

I’ve never listened to francesca before

Fitz couldn’t care less and loves to poke at reporters. Not sure how he will do on the field, but he should be fun. And no worries about a diva meltdown.
It’s not surprising that this is the current OL. This could change by September.
There’s a headline of an article in the SS saying that tomorrow the schedule will be released, here’s all the details. Details? You don’t have the schedule yet, so what details could possibly be important?
Maybe it was about that somehow it got out that we’re playing Cleveland some time in October.
Fitzpatrick is in “cake shape”
I realize this is WAY off topic (LOL), but Sir Christopher Lee’s (RIP) life continues to intrigue me. Yes, Christopher Lee just may have been the most intriguing man of the 20th century. Just AMAZING!
Pretty awesome that he was on Paul McCartney’s album cover, for instance!
I haven’t looked at the album cover for Paul McCartney and Wings “Band on the Run” in a long time so I don’t even remember if I knew back in the day who was on the cover including Christopher Lee? But I found it interesting that it wasn’t just the band after further review.

Howard is #1 on the FBI’s most wanted list as to where some of all that cap cash might go.
The number one over all pick this year feels very much like a smokescreen, as much this year as it has any year previously. Im not convinced its Murray. Im leaning a little more towards a trade. I think Klingsbury and the rumored offense he is supposedly going to run makes a ton of sense to take Murray to run it, but i dunno. It just seems its been too cut n dry certain that its going to be Murray for too long for it to actually turn out that way.

Cakes come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, Miko proved that.
Not to mention its stupid to tip your hat no matter the situation you are in. If they had no QB’s on the roster i still wouldn’t make it known who i was choosing.
Only because I started it last night…you tip your hat in greeting and tip your hand when giving up intentions. This is a public service announcement.
So now, companies are either having to completely bear the burnt of the development of a safer gun technology, one that would ultimately render gun theft useless, because of a political pissing contest.
Surely this is not your objection. This is capitalism all companies should have to bear the brunt of research and development for their products otherwise it is corporate welfare or corporate socialism. If a company makes a profit on a product they should bear the cost of research and development.
I agree unless the technology is something required by the government that is not inherently native to the product.
In govie lingo, that is called an unfounded mandate.
Even then
US government mandated seatbelts and airbags
The car companies how do you spend the money on design
That’s the way it should be
By the way that is a gun control argument I have never heard anyone argue
All cars must have seatbelts
All passengers must wear seatbelts
Driving isn’t even a right
Possession of guns is a right
But god forbid it be legislated
Seatbelts and airbags did not fundamentally change how a car works. If you change guns in a manner that they no longer work as intended, you are by default restricting the right to bear arms.
I’m guessing the average gun consumer would love it if their stolen gun became inoperable until returned to them
What does inherently native to the product mean?
Rock — did some law pass that I missed or did someone just put out a bill that won’t pass?
And the technology must exist. Seatbelts an airbags existed before the government required them. Air bags were granted a patent in 1953.
Finally, gun possession is regulated. Heavily at both the federal and state levels.

I’m so sick of people abusing animals. They ain’t right in the head.
Pigs – Guns are mechanical constructs. Pretty simple ones at that. Biometrics are electronics. Fairly complicated. Guns are not designed for electronic parts. Biometrics would change the nature and function of the construct. A mechanical safety is inherently native. Not electronics. Be a damn cyborg.
This 19 year old designed a smart gun that reads your fingerprints
Is that changing the inherent nature of it

——————————————————–
Guns work as intended right now, if an effort is made to make them safer, then its my opinion that the government should back that and offer incentives to that company for the development of technologies that achieve that. Even in your car example, the government does regulate and incentivize safety standards for the car manufacturers. Its not a selling feature to add that technology.
Also to me its a point put up or shut up, if the government is actually concerned with gun safety, it is in their best interest to get behind the development of things that make them safer, otherwise they are just a bunch of fat fuck politicians who sit around bitching that their getting rained on because no one will open the umbrella and hold it over them.
Why even worry about it? Not much will happen on that front now. Getting bump stocks outlawed was a struggle after Vegas.
”I think as long as we have 11 guys in the huddle and we don’t line up with 10 or 12, then I’ve done my job, and we’ll go from there.”

He is fucking with the reporters. Thats how a guy who is smarter than the rest of the people in the room responds to those who arent.
Not sure if he thinks he is the smartest guy, but he for sure likes playing with the reporters. Wonder if he did that as much when was worried about the next contract. My guess is not…. but that is part of being smart too.

Next you going to tell me Taco bell sells Taco’s? 😉
I was wanting the feedback from the Police, and others on the product.
Im guessing you won’t see that feedback unless/until it’s actually on the market
I think the cops would need the proximity version since they often wear gloves.
Also can you call what Taco bell serves Tacos? Isnt that a bit insulting to all the authentic tacos in the world?
You can call it a taco!
But you won’t see me eat there!
They serve fart inducers
🐖💨
Taco Bell is a “I’m starving and there it is” type of place. Homemade tacos the way you like them is the way to go.
Damn im kinda in a starving and there it is kinda mood now… maybe ill stop at taco bell. I have about a 30 minute commute after the last taco bell, so that should get me just enough time to get home before i completely fill my pants with shit.
LMAO!!!
If someone wants to acquire a gun and do bad things with it they’ll find a way. Someone can also hack technology.
“Are you serious, Clark?” 😉
Indeed I am. Too much focus on the weapon as if that will stop the diseased brain. I wish I had a solution. I’m not sure there is one.
I think the quote went over your head, Bro! YES, I agree with ya!!!
No it didn’t. I just continued with my thoughts. I just texted “Are you serious, Clark?” to a friend of mine about something. LOL
😀
Can’t I just hack off the hand of the guy i steal the gun from and use it to fire the weapon? Pretty sure i saw that on TV once. Problem solved.
I think the other “smart guns” are more like a phone design where you type in a code for access
I wont buy a safe that opens with fingerprints. Many reasons why not to…..

What is wrong with negative nilly phish
It’s Negative Nelly
Let’s be real about it
Technology is always a mess and has plenty of flaws
Sometimes it makes things worse
It might do very little at the end of the day to address mass shootings or shootings by criminals
But its interesting
FWIW the NRA’s official position is let the market control, they haven’t been real hostile about it but I’ve read that they have an agenda to stop “smart guns”
Letting the market control might get you past the hiccups of new technology
But I suspect there are valid 2nd amendment arguments against the affect on technology in creating a database from the technology or being able to shut down the guns bc of the technology with other tech
Wrong spot
The fingerprint gun is interesting, but we’ll see how practical it is. Reliability will be the big test. My experience with biometrics is probably a little more extensive than most since they have been trying to get them into airports for years. The problem we often ran into was dirt and grime. The readers didn’t respond well to it. Since guns are dirty (cabin, powder residue, oil)in and of them selves, never mind the environment that they are used in, I wonder how the reader will do under use. Then there is recoil. Electronics are generally sensitive to impacts and water.
Think that just a “what if.” Would far prefer closing the gun show loop hole and universal background checks. Add in stiffening crimes for people with guns that shouldn’t have them. Long ago gave up on trying to take any of them away.
Re – cutting off hands…I prefer eyeballs on a pencil.

Pigs – I agree with your wrong spot post. I find the technology very interesting and I’m not adverse to developing it. But like you, I see potential constitutional issues if we’re made the law of the land.
It’s possible that the technology develops know different than opening a door and then the gun owner has all the power/control/info
but if information is stored electronically
or if you can shut down the gun (particularly if the gov’t can shut down the gun) with another device
then the arguments we’ve been having for the last 100 years are the same arguments
there is just a tech/sci-fi edge to it
Agreed
I think all guns should have Amazon Alexa. “Alexa, turn on gun”. “Alexa, load chamber”

Stanger – The gun show loophole is largely a myth. All FFL holders (gun dealers) must run background checks. There are few if any gun shows that allow anyone but FFL holders to sell guns at their event. What you are really talking about is private sales. That is much more problematic in many ways.
Am sure you are right on that and private sales are more about the issue. Seems should be no problem to require the check though even if some outside service does it for a fee. Car title transfers have to go through DMV.
Alexa is a different topic but a major privacy issue.

Tim – I never looked into the depths of what Alexa learns, I’ve heard that listen to conversations, but I don’t really worry about shit like that. You start getting paranoid about stuff like that you never leave your house.
If you use Alexa and have it on, as you go about your business in your home and speak your thoughts out loud it gets processed. That’s fucked up!
I on’t sweat it Tim. I have it, and I’m not worried about what they listen to. I guess it’s fucked up, but our society is fucked up along with it
Is on’t a word from a language long ago, like when you rode dinosaurs? LOL

That’s why I have visions of living where you’re from to get away from all of this overload. I have a love/hate relationship with all of it. I understand you can still connect, but maybe more peace and less congestion would be a nice change.

I’m probably one of them. I lived a lot of my life hiking, biking, fishing and wandering through the woods. Not so much the last 20 years. But it’s still with me. Just like music.
The overload of congestion is wearing me down. Yes NYC and surrounding areas offer a lot of opportunities. But I’m bored with it. I’m tired of aggravation with simple walks of life.
Even in the shade of the “big city” I’ve always found a way to be a little outside!

I didn’t get into the specifics of it, man. When did I do that?
I said that President Trump signed into law (via executive order) a ban on bump stocks. He didn’t care what the NRA had to say (that he is taking away #2 rights), nor did he care about the other side of the aisle (saying he didn’t go far enough).
As such, EVERYBODY is pizzed off at him.
I didn’t mean my comment to you to be responded to in such a way. I’m just sayin’, man. And yes, I’m MOST familiar with what happened, leading up to President Trump’s decision… and we still don’t know what happened in that tragic Vegas shooting. SMH
Was saying I wasn’t going to go into the specifics and then explained the general point was going for was that took a while was all was really going at. Sorry if that was unclear. And seems if everybody is unhappy with Trump then that just reinforces. And also sorry if I replied in a way you did not intend.
Trump banning bump stocks is one of the things I love about President Donald Trump.
I am proud of him doing something about gun massacres.

Amazon has already said they are recording your conversations. You don’t want to know what I get ads on now!
Amazon’s voice-controlled Alexa products are considered “always-on” devices — but that doesn’t mean they record customers’ conversations. The devices constantly listen for a user to say a “wake word,” which triggers Alexa to begin recording voice data and respond to commands.

I know it’s not the same thing , but pitched for a softball team, and had a lot of come backers.. time actually almost stands still but your mind and body seem to work in real time
BACK ON THE BOARD AFTER LONG absence. Me and Mrs. OD worked a convention in Georgia and also spent time in Tennessee visiting youngest daughter (and her husband) plus our oldest grand daughter (and her husband) plus their 3 daughters who are also 3 of our 6 great grand kids!! Glad to report all are doing well and are FULL OF ENERGY!! It was an amazing trip!!

Missed almost all of Lightning’s first 3 games vs. the Blue Jackets. But I DID watch tonight’s 4th and final game of this truly shocking playoff series. My observations: BOLTS REALLY MISSED injured Norris Trophy winning defenseman Victor Hedman, who got a serious concussion just before the playoffs. A couple more defense men were banged-up but had to play, and they did NOT play well. Tampa Bay will certainly looking for help there in the off season. Bolts had NOT lost 3 straight games during the entire 82 game regular season yet, this time, lost 4 STRAIGHT! Hats off to the Blue Jackets, who won their first playoff series EVER. They certainly benefited from Head Coach John Tortorella’s expert coaching. Every key move “Torts” made seemed to work. In particular, “Torts” adjustments caused Tampa Bay’s power play to go O for their first 5, while the Jackets scored on 6 of their first 10 power plays. Tortorella surely will enjoy this blanking of the franchise he guided to a Stanley Cup Championship in 2004 before the Lightning later fired him a few years later. He is still one of the best coaches in the NHL.

SHIT happens in the NHL Playoffs. Almost every year, some lower rated team shocks a heavy favorite. But this will rank right up there as the most unexpected sweep in the history of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. And speaking of “unexpected,” how many picked the Islanders to SWEEP the Pittsburgh Penguins? Last year Barry Trotz won the Cup for an ungrateful Washington Capitals owner (who let Trotz escape to the mediocre Islanders franchise). Think Barry Trotz will have his boys “UP” if they end up playing the Capitals in a subsequent round? BET YER ASS he will!

BY THE WAY. There’s NO TRUTH to the rumor that Steve Ross secretly bought the Lightning just a couple of days before they began their series with COLUMBUS!!
Lol at Ross buying Lightning…
Was a helluva shock them being swept.. was kinda hoping for a repeat of 2004 between them and Calgary , the IT WAS IN chants would have been insanely loud ..
Game 4 Blues and Jets a very good game , back and forth lots of offence.. gonna be a greasy one that wins it as both goalies are playing their EH game 😊
3rd period will be intense
Just like the first 2 yep .. great game
Good luck !! 🤥
LOL, I’ve never seen the Pinocchio emoji. Right back atcha. 🙂
🤡👍
And that f#%^ing Yelich has 8 HRs in 6 games against the Cards this year, smh.
And here we go
Fuck
Yes !!
Oh man, I think the clock is slow.
I don’t feel tardy.
Lol.
Fucking perrault. I think that’s his first shift since his last penalty
And now OT.. oy vey
Joy. lol
Woot woot !!!!! Wow what a great game
Demaryius Thomas to the Cheats…..meh, not worried
He has looked DONE for two years now
Yep. He prob wont even make the 53.
Gotta like your chances moving forward, Toba.
We look like a totally different team from games 1 and 2 .. Blues still gonna be a tough out though ..
Thomas is coming off a torn achilles. He didn’t do too much for the Texans. They just wanted a solid option if teams tried to shut down Hopkins, and he didn’t really provide that.
Rashad Jones missed voluntary practice the NFL allows for teams with new coaches. i guess he figures he’s already been paid.
Maybe he figures he’s going to be traded
Lol at Trump saying he’s going to send the illegals to sanctuary cities. Obviously he can’t do it, he’s just playing them, he wants their reactions, so he can use it on the campaign trail. The stupid libtards have taken it hook, line and sinker.
Democrats in my opinion are falling to their own tactics. Passive Aggressive is how they always brought the cold asshole persona out of the Republicans but now they are so aggressive….. I’m sorry they are choosing the term progressive….. They can’t help but show themselves to be at least equally as close minded of assholes as the Republicans always looked.
Nyc has been a sanctuary city for decades
The whole point of being a sanctuary city is to invite undocumented people and allow them to contribute to the city
Trumps own lawyer, Guiliani, pushed to make nyc a sanctuary city when he was mayor
The faux rhetoric that sanctuary cities are upset about inviting undocumented people is typical Trump bullshit
What we don’t want is prisons for undocumented people
In nyc we have a ton of legislation that protects undocumented people from workplace discrimination, housing discrimination and a host of other regulations
Nyc is smart enough to understand that we thrive from it
Unfortunately most of the country is not
It’s not that we don’t want them there – we do
It’s that we don’t want the facilities that detain them here
It’s cute that you think Trump is playing people with theatrics of something he can’t legally do
The reality is he is playing all of you if he promises something he can never do, you guys just create these ridiculous justifications like this one, that he was just trying to get a reaction out of the liberals or that its okay bc it’s furthers his agenda –
It’s still a lie no matter what the reason is
Anyone who thinks a liar is just lying to some people is probably just the last one to realize they have been lied to as well
I love how all these dems call him a liar, yet they’re the biggest liars of them all. On the view they had Brent Baier on and the first question asked was why does Trump lie so much?
He lies, because it’s the only way to fight the opposition lies, it’s all about perception. He at least bases his lies on truth, then exaggerates it.
When Obama’s camp put out all the lies about Romney, before the general election, and Romney did nothing…how’d that work out?
It’s all a big FN game, and lies are part of politics, so being lied to by politicians has no bearing on me at all. You on the other hand seem to promote that you haven’t been lied to by the dems.
You just admitted he was lying when he pushed for a policy he could not do
You admitted it a second time in your second paragraph
You justified it a 3rd time when you mentioned Romney
It’s not Democrats, the media or liberals erroneously calling him a liar. It’s everyone identifying him as a liar and some people being okay with it because _______
That’s fine, I can appreciate that perspective
But when you invite a snake into your home, don’t be surprised when you get bit
Undocumented people are easy targets bc they have such fee rights and are so desperate
Emotionally reactionary liberals are pretty easy targets too (I think we can admit that)
But Policy or public statements or whatever to get reactions out of people (in this case to own the libs) is no way to run a country
Every American should be communicating with one another. Our leader should say this is where we are going – everyone get on board. That’s how we will be the best country – not making stuff up for theatrics and reactions
I don’t think your statements are factually wrong
I think you are spot on on what Trumps intent is
But I disagree with the ideology
It’s an admission that he is a liar when you say “he said this bc ____ knowing he would not do it”
That’s not leadership IMO
We can be so much better than where Trump is taking is us
Steve
I met you in person
Not trying to bust your chops on this bc I like you
But I always respond to these posts (as you know by now) with my perspective
So please don’t take my tone as disrespectful – I respect you and your point of view
But I really really disagree with you on this topic
Particularly in undocumented people
I have personal relationships with them
I’ve volunteered with them going back to law school and I am pursuing pro bono work (to the extent I make time) on their behalf – so it’s obviously something I care about
End of the day – I’m glad to see you post here, even when it’s pro-Trump
You seem to believe they all dont lie, and the talk about how a president should run the country is typical. I didnt hear any of that when Obama was president. If you want to keep your doctor…
Oh and I think Thomas is just another in a long line of formerly elite platers they have rented to give them an advantage. I think he probably has a good year for them unfortunately and then gets cut and disappears, especially if they get a Superbowl out of it again.
I am so against trading it away, but our 2020 first pick is one valuable trading piece. Normal rule is discount a round for the next year, but bet you our pick might bring something like #18 this year if wanted to trade it.
Forget about trading away our 2020 1st, if it happens this FO is the most incompetent in the history of the league, unless they get compensation as if the pick is the first pick in the draft.
Just talking about what it’s value might be and pointing out that more than a normal one. But yeah if they decided to trade up that would come into play.
