It’s that time of year (four weeks earlier than originally planned) to announce this years winner of the coveted Bye Week Bi-Babe selection. As usual the voting was very close. As you know candidates are judged by an assortment of available quotes, sexy pics and who has a chance at you guys liking, it isn’t easy. So here she is…
This years winner –
Aubrey Plaza
Congratulations, Ms Plaza. She looks completely thrilled, doesn’t she?
“I know I have an androgynous thing going on, and there’s something masculine about my energy,” Plaza said in an interview with the Advocate. “Girls are into me – that’s no secret. Hey, I’m into them too. I fall in love with girls and guys. I can’t help it.”
We’re honored to have Ms Plaza recognized as this year’s Bi-Babe as the Miami Dolphins move to a new beginning of sorts with this upcoming game featuring Tua Tagovailoa.
It’s Tua Time!

Krishna, you’re a fuck’n pussy,
ORob,
Pussy? Me? Huh. All these years and I never knew. Thanks for clearing that up for me!
you’re welcome
AGH, how could you be this dumb? You’re on the practice squad, not a starter.

I know it doesn’t mean anything, but I still enjoy this stuff. This site has us ranked 12th, which is easily the highest I’ve seen for us. That is freakin’ awesome.
If we beat the Rams this weekend with Tua at the helm, we’re going to be the talk of the league. Man it would be nice if this team keeps meeting the expectations we fans are starting to feel. We’ve been disappointed so many times in the last two decades. Let’s get this thing started.

I mean its the Jets, Gase was probably scanning the stadium for people with tacos….

With the cheats at 2-4 its bitter sweet, when they lose a player. We need them to beat Buffalo once, if we’re going to have much of a chance to win the division, but I won’t count them out until they are out, strange things happen in NE.
Randy, you told me the other day that you wanted to bury trump in the impeachment trials and your party had no evidence at all other than a phone call that was proven there was nothing wrong with it, you wanted to crucify Trump for that.
the DOJ has overwhelming evidence that Joe Biden sold us out to China, Ukraine and Russia and in your own words you said it was “quite possible”
so let me get this straight, Trump has a phone call with Ukraine and you want to hang the man.
We have great evidence, Hunters hard drive and a whistle blower that Biden sold us out to China, Russia and Ukraine, and you say it’s quite possible yet there’s really nothing wrong with it! no big deal?
how hypocritical of you?
If Trump did what they accused him of which he didn’t, it would pale in comparison to what Biden has been accused of.
If Biden took money from china you can bet he had to give them something, the question is what did he give them? and if he is president will he still be on Chinas payroll.
if Biden did what they say he did he should be shot for treason!
Republican House Rep. Jim Jordan claimed his staff has independently authenticated materials from a laptop allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden
Jordan also slammed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden for failing to speak out on whether the emails, photos, and other contents were genuine
Tony Bobulinski, a former business partner of Hunter who was listed as the recipient of an email published by the New York Post also said they were real
‘Why won’t Joe Biden say they are not real, if they are not accurate, if these aren’t accurate emails, why won’t the Bidens say so?’ Jordan asked
The emails are under FBI investigation but have not been officially verified

If you cant establish normal, you cant establish crazy so etiehr everyone is a variation of crazy, or they are a variation of normal.
So we just are what we are?
The new normal is whatever the accepted behavior is, in other words whatever they tell us it should be. Anyone have a problem with them telling us what normal is?

—————————————————————————————–
I especially have a problem with them telling us what normal is because that is very hypocritical.
????????????????
No thanks, we’ve been down this road before. We need to draft someone, not pay 15M for him.
Are you kidding? I would do it in a heart beat! He would be on a bargain and not cost that much.
“When a team trades for a player, it becomes responsible for paying the player’s remaining salary and remaining bonuses if there are any. The player’s signing bonus proration remains with his old team.”
His base salary is 2020 $675,000, 2021 $850,000, and 2022 $965,000.
His roster bonus 2020 $1,388,608, 2021 $2,777,216, and 2022 $4,165,823.
If I understand correctly, the above is all we would have to pay him and the Jets would be on the hook for the signing bonuses of 2020 $5,419,431, 2021 $5,419,431, and 2022 $5,419,431.
If this is correct, what do you give for him? The Houston pick in round 2 or our pick in round 1. I would not give up the Houston pick in the 1st round.
who the hell is George?
He’s the biggest idiot on the planet, well 2nd, next to the Hawaii Senator Mazie Hirono.
He keeps pushing all this BS narrative, including on covid how he’s going to snap his fingers and cure it. I’d make people wear masks he says, well in Italy where they’re locked down and wearing a mask is mandatory they’re getting a spike. The only cure is a vaccine, and the only way to slow it is control the deaths, which we are and masks in tight quarters, which we also are doing. FN lying dems, pushing their BS.
I woke up expecting to read some juicy stuff, but all I got is Steve calling Wyo his cowgirl. How disappointing… 😉
Your not near as disappointed as Steve’s going to be! 😉
LMAO
But then again………………
Lol, but that was me putting words in his mouth. He changed to a cowboy, so…if I had a way of putting a caption on a cowboy I would’ve, since I can’t you have to look at the context FFR wannabe🙄
Simply putting quotations around it would have given you the effect you were looking for and taken away my joke, lol.
I’m not much of a quotes guy, but I’ll remember that next time, so point noted.
i am starting to feel bad for Biden, he has severe dementia and it just seems he’s being used
, when he said George you could see his wife whispering Trump to him.
very pathetic.
if that was my family member with that sort of problem i would not want him exposed to all this crap.
His wife doesn’t give a crap, nor should she with all the touchy feely he’s done over the years, it’s her revenge. She just wants to be 1st lady.
All the top dems are using poor little old dementia laden corrupt joe.
You ever been around someone with severe dementia? My Mom had it. For all I know he could be in early stage dementia like Reagan was in his last few years, but if Joe has it not severe at all.
I think Tim mentioned it, but I haven’t seen much on the board about it. That play by Metcalf the other night was unbelievable. One of the greatest hustle plays I’ve ever seen.
I saw it this morning, and it’s a great play by Metcalf. My problem is with the rest of the slackers going thru the motions.
How can these overpaid guys put out such little effort? They don’t care enough about winning.
I had a similar play in 8th grade, coming from the DL. At halftime the coach chewed out the rest of the D.
Playing basketball I was always the one getting back on fast break D, mostly by myself. I ran my ass off sometimes, because I hated to lose.
The Jets keep drafting 1st RD DL and trading them. What’s the formula there?
💩+DL1*🤪-DL1=💩✈️💩
I guess, if we’re into accuracy, for the correct order of operations it really should be:
(💩+DL1)*🤪-DL1=💩✈️💩
LMAO!!

I would think most people would have a problem with it, yet they vote for big govt and allow the MSM to thrive.
Election day is one week from today and 66 million votes have already been cast. That’s half the total vote count for 2016. People are real interested in this one. The under 30 turnout has been huge, which is real unusual.
I dont think its too unusual with the ability to mail in and vote remotely. Thats right up their ally.
How do you know the under 30 turnout has been huge?
Saw it on an MSM news show…. so you can question away. But huge for them. Was like 10% of the votes so far instead of the normal 5% or whatever.

—————————————————————
It was and maybe im jaded because i played the game, but any play i was on the field i played it out 100%. If it meant my 4.98 40 slow ass was going to trail the guy by 10 yards when he crossed the line, i didn’t let off until he did. The play wasnt over. In this NFL you see a lot of guys give up on plays when its away fromt hem, or give up on plays when they have no rpole in the design, but thats just bullshit. To me what Metcalf did was play football. I dont think its remarkable personally, in the sense that is how you play in my opinion, its only remarkable in the world of soft ass players who dont wanna play the game like that.
It’s remarkable because only a couple guys in the league MIGHT have been able to make that play. For him to recognize and react as fast as he did, coupled with the speed to run the guy down, and the endurance to keep that speed up for 115 yards. One of the greatest plays of the year, easy.
There were several others much closer, they just didn’t give a shit. I see the same thing in the WS with guys not running it out to 1st base, like in BB you need to conserve energy.
Here 🍺
Watching film on OV, after we drafted him, I saw this same type of hustle and the angles he took, so I was excited we drafted him.
Well yes, athletically he is a pure specimen, and that was known when they came to the draft and yet someone still was able to talk him down to a much lower pick than i expected. I really wanted him for us, if you remember. Its true, not many could pull it off, but i stand by the fact that a lot could and just dont put for the effort to go full out. There are a few players, like Watt (and mostly why i mentioned possibly getting him if the Texans fire sale) who embody that effort. Watt would have been chasing all the way as well and had he had the athletic ability that Metcalf has, he would have caught him too, its the mentality to push on that play that makes that possible, the athletics is just the mechanism that allowed him to get there before he crossed the goal line.
^
Also, if you watched the interceptor, he was shocked Metcalf caught him. He wasn’t exactly running full speed. Another slacker on the play.
Don Beebe in the SB also comes to mind, I think it was Leon Lett that ran it to the goal line, before Don knocked it out. Not exactly full effort by Leon.
Say what you want about Pete Rose aka Charlie Hustle, I do (talked to him a couple of times), but…
What did you think of Charlie Hustle? Went to one of his eating places (the first one) when was a young kid. My Uncle bought me a signed Pete Rose ball in the gift shop for $5. $5……. wish my dog hadn’t eaten it.
The ball player, my dad always pointed out his hustle, I’m sure it had some affect on me, but not liking the Reds I always respected him and his play.
The person, I thought he was an asshole. I’ve mentioned this before on here, but…I was dealing cards in Tahoe, and was relief one night (20 minutes per 3 tables). I pushed into the table he was playing at by himself, thinking how great it was going to be to deal to him, then broken record sound, he says, I don’tthink so and left, like I was a shark and they moved me there to take his money. They do do stuff like that, but not this time.
The other 2 times was at Ceasar’s Palace at the forum shops, he was signing autographs, but no one wanted to pay. He was talking to the shop owner, he was pissed no one cared about him enough to get one. He was wearing all white one time, like he was IT. I so wanted to walk up to him like I wanted an autograph, then say oh its Pete Rose, I don’t think so.
Sorta of ironic that you met Rose when he was gambling, or maybe just expected. We all know how he got banned from baseball.
And I’m guessing he was pissed no one wanted to pay the price for his signature cause he had signed a whole lot. No matter who you are that makes the price go down, especially since the internet has come in. A whole lot of your stuff on the net and your price goes down. Supply and demand.
Cool that you were a dealer. Sat at many a table.
My response on Quinnen Williams got lost in the politics. LOL Here it is again:
Are you kidding? I would do it in a heart beat! He would be on a bargain and not cost that much.
“When a team trades for a player, it becomes responsible for paying the player’s remaining salary and remaining bonuses if there are any. The player’s signing bonus proration remains with his old team.”
His base salary is 2020 $675,000, 2021 $850,000, and 2022 $965,000.
His roster bonus 2020 $1,388,608, 2021 $2,777,216, and 2022 $4,165,823.
If I understand correctly, the above is all we would have to pay him and the Jets would be on the hook for the signing bonuses of 2020 $5,419,431, 2021 $5,419,431, and 2022 $5,419,431.
If this is correct, what do you give for him? The Houston pick in round 2 or our pick in round 1. I would not give up the Houston pick in the 1st round.
Only bad thing about the contract is I think it might be fully guaranteed (not sure).
What you think?
Contract would not be a problem at all. What the Jets want or other teams offer might be. Worth kicking the tires at least.
We’d have to take over the contract, so any unpaid signing bonuses we’d pay unless something was worked into the trade. Rookie contracts are guaranteed, but not a problem.
Metcalf more than made up for his Leon Lett earlier in the season. Still haven’t seen the play yet though.
Mike, forget all the players, coaches, and basically everyone who thinks this is an amazing play, Steve and D aren’t impressed. I’m betting Omar isn’t either, lol.
It was even more impressive to watch it live in the tension of the game itself..
I thought it was a good hustle play, but I’m not going all goo goo over someone doing their job. Anyone remember the training camp wall last year it takes no talent…
Steve, that is the point I’m trying to get through your noggin. It wasn’t just a hustle play. It was a hustle play that took tremendous talent to achieve a result. 99.9% of guys who hustle and give it there all on that play are just running it out, but would never catch Baker.
I don’t see speed as talent. A great play would be OBJ making a 2 finger catch over a CB. A play that he can make maybe 1 out of 5 times.
Speed on the other hand would be like saying Usain Bolt stumbled at the start, but still won the 100M, something that would happen 5 out of 5 times.
Just my opinion.
You don’t see speed as a talent? It’s quite literally the definition of a talent. But I think I get what you are trying to say, so I’ll let it go. We’ve spent way more time on this than I expected. I was just extolling a good play, I didn’t realize I’d have to argue or defend the scale of the play itself, lol. We can just disagree.
Cheers 🙂
Tremendously athletic play, 22.6 MPH, 115 yds total, behind the play 25 yds at the start, saves 7 points, and all you can do is diminish it from your couches. LOL, you guys are unreal, but carry on. 🙂
Im not diminishing it lol, i just expect that kind of hustle, and TBH thats the most impressive part of it to me was that he did go full out from being 25 years back, im not arguing the play, just the impressive part, and the rest is just commentary on the lack of that in the NFL these days.
I couldn’t even have done it “in my younger days” as the old folks like to say lol, so im definately not poo pooing on the ability and impressive fact that he did catch him.
Lol at 25 yards behind the play.
The numbers say he ran 109 yds to make the tackle, not 115, and Baker ran a straight line and ran 90, so he was actually only 19 yds behind the play.
I saw 7 plus over about 5 yards, but they will always sensationalize.
It’s charted, just like the speed. They aren’t guessing, lol. The angle he took, he covered 108.76 yds.
There’s crazy…..and then there’s this kind of crazy.
They should re-do the crazy eyes shit from “How i met your Mother” with Gase as the crazy eyes person.
lol skit not shit, think im effected by the overuse of the poop emoji in Cav’s previous posts.
LOL, hey not my fault. How do you form an equation about the Jest and leave the sh*t emojis out of it?
You have a solid point. I concede.
You should show more respect for Gase. He’s only 42 and has wrecked 2 NFL teams. That’s gotta be a record.
He needs to go back to OC, so he’s not the face of a franchise.
Yeah his boy Vance Joseph has done so and is actually back where he kinda belongs.
Don’t think NFL HC will be a choice next time around. Could see him going college though. Might suit his personality better like it did Saban.
Im not sure Gase really has a position where he excels, a lot of that reputation is damaged. Jospeh at least could still hang his hat on the idea that he came from being a DC and his defenses didnt suck (although with that talent, how could they). Gase on the other hand has had pitiful excuses for offenses, how does anyone want him running their offense either?
Stanger might be right, move down to college and build yourself back up, he at least can command the respect he wants from them since he can bench their asses and actually cost them millions in potential NFL revenues if they dont comply. Thats why the control freaks should stay in college.
In the NFL you deal with men who — at least the key ones — know they can get another job at the drop of a hat…. or at least on next contract. College is different. NCAA rules make it that way, and lets the coach be a dictator if he wants.
Steve, the signing bonus is already paid by the Jets at the time of signing. It is just spread out over the contract. Therefore the Jets have to pay that, not us. We would have to just pay the base salary and roster bonus part of the contract. He would only cost 3.5(ish) mil in 2021 and 5.1(ish) mil in 2022.
Would the Jest be stupid enough to trade him within the division? You know what, nvmd, strike that question, lol.
lol
I meant bonuses unpaid, obviously the signing bonus was paid at signing🙄
The best 2020 commercials!
Has anyone here watched Joker, the Joaquin Phoenix movie? I’ve heard mixed stuff and can’t decide whether to give it a try or not.
For starters…. it’s not your superhero movie. Dark, somewhat slow, a bit disturbing and pretty well done. Was glad I watched even left me less than fulfilled. One of those won’t watch again though. All of which probably doesn’t help you decide. 🙂
Awesome movie, it wont be like you think, its a much deeper dive than that, you will like it i almost certainly feel like it.
I agree with Stanger, i wont watch it again, or if i do ill have to be really in the mood for it, but my reasons are different. I wont watch Requiem for a Dream because its just emotionally exhausting and id say the same here. I got to cut my self short on the description of why because ill ruin it for you, but i see it as a must watch.
I think you and Stang gave me enough. I feel precisely the same way as you about Requiem for a Dream, so that is a real good marker. Cheers
Its not a feel good movie, its cinematic-ally masterful though. Those are my type movies, i mean if i can get the feel good to go with it, great but id rather leave the moving thinking damn i cant handle watching that again over i think im shitting rainbows and unicorns after wathing.
Walked away with awesome respect for the filmmakers…… after that probably popped in the Highlander DVD for the 20th time. 🙂
Forrest Gump is kinda my go to but i just bail out before Jenny dies and little Forrest is left without a momma.
I am a HUGE Highlander fan though, infact most my gaming characters from way back use to always have one that contained Highlander in the name unless it was one of the banned names.
I Amy Coney Barrett solemnly swear to support and defend the constitution of the US…
Why are dem justices allowed to not follow this oath?
They all swear by that oath
there was a little trickery in his post lol, unfortunately you fell for it…. he said follow not make the oath.
So why don’t they abide by it?
and there is the setting of the hook lol
well played sir…..
It wasn’t meant to be a trick question. Why does it matter how many dems/reps there are on the court? When they take the oath to abide by the constitution, shouldn’t they all mostly decide cases the same way?
Thats been my point from the beginning, they are jockeying because for some reason the branch that plays politic the most have a hard on for the appointment, but if they did their job, as they should, with no party bias, then its shouldn’t matter at all.
The amount of work they are doing to stop it, really lets you know how that shit works, and i think its completely anti the intention so that branch as the founding father saw it.
steve — even originalists like Scalia did not go strictly by the constitution. That is simply impossible. Question is how much you read into it given the thing was written 250 years ago. The Barrets of the world want less…. but they are still doing it as well.
I have to agree with him though, there have been a few things that it really was forcing a odd ruling to support something that seems like it was a political move. You are right too in that its almost unavoidable, on either side, but the point is the left is pushing to delay this right now and its not to get a more appropriate person for the nomination, its to hopeful get to make the nomination after they can get power and push their own cronie. I mean same deal can be said about why the senate is trying to push Barrett through, but i mean, the appointment happened on Trumps shift, its fair that he gets to make the ruling and to want it done otherwise screams of manipulation of a branch those guys shouldn’t at all be involved with its beign “their” person. Im not sweating who is appointed, im more disgusted by the political bullshit thats going on to make sure its one side or the others that gets the appointment.
I don’t care about going strictly by the Constitution, because as you say its impossible, just on general terms, but shouldn’t there be more decision where the majority of both parties are on the same side?
steve — the most common decisions in the Supreme Court are 9-0, 8-1 and 7-2. You just hear about the other ones.
THey abide by it Steve
Whether they abide by it or not is not determined by the passing opinions of Trump supporters
It’s whether they really do abide by it
It’s kind of silly At this point to make these kind of arguments bc you are upset at their politics
The amount of judges in the court is not in the constitution. It’s also not violating the constitution to argue to amend the constitution
We aren’t under some kind of tyrant system where people can’t have opinions on how their country works for them simply bc it offends every red hat wearing cult member that not everyone wants to pledge loyalty to donald trump
Come on dude…
I didn’t argue that a barrel violates her lathe bc I disagree with her politics. That’s a crazy rabbit hole to go down
So then you are OK with her appointment? If not then question what ya just said man. If this was Obama and he was headed out the door, and it happened on his shift, thats would have been fine for him to make the appointment, in fact if nothing iffy is going on with these appointments, it shouldn’t matter if its handled by an outside group, the right person for that job should be the right person period, there should be 0 politics involved with that appointment.
Also i was seriously asking a question, because im not sure where you stand on the appointment of Barrett
If they did abide by it, when any random decision was made you wouldn’t be able to distinguish the right from the left. This has nothing to do with Trump, it’s my own question into why it matters how many judges are on each side, if the decision is supposed to be based on the constitution and not the party affiliation.
Since the decisions are based on party affiliation, why are they allowed to sway from the constitution and not uphold their oath?
I don’t like originalism D. I think it leads to impractical application of the law and misses huge cultural changes in our society. So I hate her process but I respect that she has one
But the process is not improper imo
And she’s a qualified judge in her abilities
She’s less experienced than I think is appropriate for scotus
And I think that reveals a problem with special interest groups pushing for nominees which shouldn’t happen
I don’t think appointing her was improper
I don’t give too much weight to the tit for tat
But I think garland should have been on the scotus
I see why RBG was an almost unanimous decision though i think she did start playing party politics after her appointment. She was a pivotal person in the legal battle for peoples rights, thats the epitome of what we want on there. It wasnt until much later that she not only was used as a political tool, but also started playing a little bit of politics herself. I would have voted for her for sure.
RBG got approved 96-3 cause was a different age. Back then all that mattered was the nominees qualifications. Other side accepted you have the right to nominate and you do (no matter who controlled the Senate). Wish it was still that way.
Me too, i mean like i said, the appointment, whomever it was and whomever did it shouldn’t be too far off the same group of people up for consideration, but thats unfortunately not how it is. There shouldn’t be this much made over a supreme court appointment because we should roughly be selecting from the same people that everyone can agree on.
Well Steve if it wasn’t it was a very convenient mistake lol, opens up the whole conversation for the talking point i know you were trying to make.

Madison had written that constitutional interpretation must be left to the reasoned judgment of independent judges, rather than to the tumult and conflict of the political process. If every constitutional question were to be decided by public political bargaining, Madison argued, the Constitution would be reduced to a battleground of competing factions, political passion and partisan spirit.
judicial review was not confirmed until 1803, when it was invoked by Chief Justice John Marshall in Marbury v. Madison. In this decision, the Chief Justice asserted that the Supreme Court’s responsibility to overturn unconstitutional legislation was a necessary consequence of its sworn duty to uphold the Constitution. That oath could not be fulfilled any other way. “It is emphatically the province of the judicial department to say what the law is,” he declared.
—
It is designed to provide for a national government sufficiently strong and flexible to meet the needs of the republic, yet sufficiently limited and just to protect the guaranteed rights of citizens;
So the big govt the dems stand for and Medicare for all can be shot down in the SC?
Medicare for all would be a pure legislative decision. Structured right and don’t see what the Court would have a problem with.
Big govt, not what was intended.
That’s your political opinion
That’s not in the constitution
The constitution does not require govt to be small
The voters get to say how big or small they want it based on their votes
Not what was intended? Seems now you want to read into the Constitution. You have a problem with social security or Medicare now? Same types of programs approved by the legislature.
I’m not reading shit into it, you guys are. The 2nd to last paragraph above I took from the SC says
It is designed to provide for a national government sufficiently strong and flexible to meet the needs of the republic, yet sufficiently limited.
steve — so that’s what Madison said back in the day. Is of interest, even if not a shut down argument in the Supreme Court. Explain why we have social security. Same kind of program.
The legislative branch can pass legislation
And if it’s challenged as unconstitutional, the scotus will decide whether that’s true or not
And then decide whether the portion that’s not constitutional is severable or not
Any major legalization can be shot down by the scotus
This isn’t unique to m4a. It’s always been that way
There are plenty of laws that survived those challenges and plenty that did not
It’s always the way checks and balances work
You can’t draft legislation, for example, that gets rid of the first amendment – if some one drafted a law that said, “Americans can’t voice their opinions at all” -it would be stricken even if it was very popular with the amercian public
You vote for Congress
You don’t vote for judges
That’s checks and balances
Basically, the laws congress passes – can’t violate the constitution
And that applies to the states and their laws as well
As well as city laws, etc…
No one can pass laws that are unconstitutional
And it’s not always easy to say when that occurs or it doesn’t
A single payer healthcare system isn’t inherently unconstitutional
If they severe the portion of the aca rather than strike it, then scotus pretty much lays down the foundation for what any future legislation might be permissible
instead of giving the cards 62, we could have drafted Metcalf

steve — even originalists like Scalia did not go strictly by the constitution. That is simply impossible. Question is how much you read into it given the thing was written 250 years ago. The Barrets of the world want less…. but they are still doing it as well.
****
Well said Stanger
But this is way too much nuance for the cupping Trump’s balls crowd
Your side is way too unconstitutional. Biden wants to appoint deuchebag beto to take guns away. As you say they can’t do that, so why is he campaigning on that?
If they were to pack the court the checks and balance of the SC would be wiped out, why is that OK?
gun legislation is not inherently unconstitutional
There are plenty of laws that pass scotus scrutiny
…and there’s plenty that don’t
That’s the process. You get to vote for legislators who agree with you. And if they go to far, scotus will strike it down
Did anyone else see we’re taking offers for Xavien Howard? Why?
What? I hadn’t heard that yet. What the heck?
“The source said the Dolphins already have an offer on the table for Howard, and are seriously considering moving the 27 year old before the NFL trade deadline, which is Tuesday at 4 p.m.”
https://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-dolphins/fl-sp-dolphins-xavien-howard-trade-20201027-zsjhmgc47bap3i3swrszfpgqyq-story.html
because everyone has a price. Just like Tunsil, if someone comes along and gives us 2 first for him, i dont think anyone could be seen as off the list. They could also draft a Howard replacement in next years draft with an extra first, so i mean its kinda the way the Pats do things too and everyone kinda thinks they are geniuses for doing it. Players coming up for contracts or in buyout phases of current very large contracts are always going to have their names thrown in i think. We might as well get use to it.
Kong, that was very impressive! (Metcalf)
It was decent
I’m guessing, as D said, anything for Howard is about Some one giving up many pics
It’s probably some one’s offer, not that we are shopping him
Like tunsil
Ok completely random and pretty gross thought. Why is it that ear wax seem to almost spontaneously liquefy from time to time, and also despite cleaning your ears out pretty regularly, it seems to almost appear overnight…..its perplexing.

————————————————-
When he fell to the second i was thinking ok here is our shot to get him and when we traded that pick i knew we wouldn’t get him, but i also felt like getting Rosen was an ok compensation.
Obviously didn’t work out that way. He was easily in the top 3 receivers in that draft, him falling that far was just retarded.
Y’all know that the whole Barrett – SCOTUS thing is RBG’s fault, right? She is the reason that Trump got to nominate her replacement. She could have retired in her 80’s while Obama was president and ensured that her replacement would have been a liberal judge. But she didn’t. She held on to power until death. Now we have a conservative majority on the bench. C’est la vie…The democrats have no reason to complain.
Merrick Garland is a pretty good reason to complain
I have no problem with Barret joining the court. I do with Garland getting shut out.
That’s the precedent, you have control of the Senate in an election year and your selection goes thru, you don’t and it doesn’t.
“I want you to use my words against me. If there’s a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said let’s let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination.”
— South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham
Was there a Senate of the same party?
Nope. If RBG had retired the year before Garland would be a sitting Justice.
steve — Graham said what he said as he helped block Garland. Did you see some exceptions in his statement?
RBG made a mistake. Typical for Justices to retire before an election with a possible turnover, but then guess she like the world didn’t think there would be Trump. 2016 results were a shocker. But seems democrats have plenty of reason to complain about what RBG chose to do at her age.
Everyone has a price but at some point don’t you want to keep your great players? It’s not always about acquiring more picks, it’s about having great players. I think doing that now sends a bad message to a team that has already made a major move at QB. It’s almost saying not important how Tua does, this year doesn’t matter.
I agree. At some point keep your good licks and stop trying to get more of them
It really seems to me this defense came together once we had our top 2 CBs on the field. I’d hate to see us take a big step back.
I doubt it happens man, i dont think there is a worry to have, but this is a business and this is how the Pats have been dominant for decades.
You cant, not with Salary caps. You can keep them all, and like i said, there is no way Howard walks out of here without a lot in return, so its almost like they arent actually putting hinm on the market because who would pay what they are wanting, a manic right, maybe Bill Obrien, but he is out. So yeah i get it, it suck seeing great players get up and then leave, but there is a point where if you want to have long term health in the organization you do keep doing some of these things, before they lose value, before they become Rehsad Jones and you wish you took that offer ya had for him 2 years ago.
Also it sending a bad message, i dont see it. The players will make decisions best for them and call it a business decision, are they then allowed to see the reverse of that happen to them and say thats bullshit….people when arguing about football being able loyalty and support and blah blah blah they seems to say this when it affects them not when they profit by it.
Yes, to a point, but with Howard’s knees and his age not aligning with Tua’s I can see why they’d do it, but they better get a first at a min.
I wouldn’t trade him for anything less than a first this year and next or a first this year and maybe a 2nd this same year. Draft his replacement this , and add another guy who can help us have a next man up at another position. Or be able to ttake to stabs at drafting a replacement with the back to back firsts.
take two stabs
The only real people safe in this system, and for the long term health of an organization is to either be the centerpiece of a group, like Byron Jones, on a big contract with lots of dead money, or to be more specific, not enough money to be freed up by dealing you, or to be on a rookie contract and not up for contract next year (and also be one for those corner-piece people). If not they will probably put you up and take what they feel is a good deal for the team. Having two vert CB’s both of which are really top of their game is kinda a luxury, should be the dark-side way, a Master and an Apprentice, so dealing one once the other peaks, is kinda how this system works. Again, my guess is the price tag on Howard is retarded high. Still if someone wants top pay it, they will take it and pick up Surtain next year and begin grooming him to replace Jones, so forth and so on.
They say there’s an offer in place, and we’re considering it. Well if we’re shopping him and a deal is being considered, it’s not what they expected to get.
I can’t agree with getting rid of X. He’s 27, I mean it takes time to get a guy to be where X is, so you get him there and then get rid of him? Maybe Iggy can be competent, maybe you can draft a guy as good, but you then you’re on a treadmill. We’re trying to get to the point where we’re a perennial playoff team, so you can’t keep subtracting talent and accomplish that.
I sort of agree it’s the Patriot way, and I’m down with that, but that is for the offseason. I don’t ever recall them trading away their talent in the middle of the season.
I think they traded Chandler Jones and Jamie Collins mid year.
Jones was offseason. I do remember them trading Collins. But that was an outlier, not normal for them, although it still proves a point.
Because they were always in contention.
true
I would love to join in on this conversation….but I’m just too stupid. However, that doesn’t prevent me from commenting on football! Trade X. Hell, trade anybody on this team if you get a great deal for them. I’m in the mood to fuck everybody over! I feel quite Trumpian. Fuck everybody….and the gay mule they rode in on!
Gay Mules eat heeeeeeeeeeeey!
LOL…The Art of the Deal?

————————————————————-
I almost commented to that effect. If she and the dems had been smart they would have asked her to resign right before Obama went out. They knew she wasn’t gonna make it much longer and though she has a very strong place in that branch, and helped them, they should have replaced her then. Hell i had like these images in my mid every time i heard about her, laying in some room strapped up to every life sustaining device known to man with the democrat leaders slapping her every time she started slipping a way and going, hang in there one more month dammit!. She should have stepped down so they could make the appointment.
No problem with Barret taking over after RBG passed. She made her choice and it didn’t work out. Am sure the Obama folks wanted her to retire though…. even if don’t know for a fact.
Sure would be nice to play with X and Byron for a few games and Iggy at nickel, before making some rash trade, too bad Byron got hurt earlier.
On the other hand it’s nice to have multiple 1st round picks.
Iggy is a perimeter CB they say.
They better quit saying and start working him into the nickel role.
If true though, trading X was the plan all along.
I hope they don’t trade Howard. I mean if they get a Tunsil kind of offer and they think IbbyGibby can play the position the rest of the year…okay i guess. But I wouldn’t if i was GM of the world and had a clue. Defense is coming together and Howard is a big part of why.
I have no clue where this talk came from….. not even much on the news. If they are going to trade him though….. they have 40 minutes.
How many 1st round picks can a team use and still legitimately pick players that help win?
I don’t understand the question. First round picks are always supposed to start, unless at QB and that isn’t in play here now.
Yes but if you load your team with first rounders at the expense of experienced players you are in constant player development phase. And statistically, half of them are not going to live up to the hype.
Maybe they are worried about Howard’s knees. After all, they see him in the locker room after every game.
“Apes don’t read philosophy.”
“Yes they do, Otto, they just don’t understand it.”
“Let me correct you on a couple of things. Aristotle was not Belgian. The central philosophy of Buddhism is not ‘every man for himself’. And The London Underground is not a political movement. Those are all mistakes…”
LOL
“It’s a Buddhist meditation technique. It focuses aggression. The monks used to do it before going into battle.” LOL
Fish called Wanda?
Yep, Otto is so hilarious.
“Um, that’s quite a stutter you’ve got there, Ken. It’s alright, it doesn’t bother me.” LMAO
“What was that middle part again…?”
I see Omar and the boys are back at it again!
That is quoting a team spokesman? LOL, that is so awesome they called them out like that.
Spanked them.
See! It didn’t make sense in the first place!
Have to give Adam Beasley credit for tweeting out that the SS is full of crap. Or maybe it wasn’t his reporting….. in which case interesting times in the office.
And he works for the Miami Herald. Dolphins are slamming the SS and seems Omar today.
“A Fish Called Wanda” is a great flick…one of my favorites. It doesn’t hurt that Jamie Lee Curtis’ boobs are in it…..oh, and John Cleese. Lol
Great movie. I’ve seen it a hundred times, and I’m still laughing at every joke.
Me too. One of my favorites.
Ill join the list, its a classic.
Oh and Jamie Lee Curtis has a small dick, sorry to ruin your spank bank eye captures….well i know its a lie, or at least snopes cant prove it…:)
I can’t give you any Omar tweets. I don’t follow him!
Ok I went and found this!
SMH
My lord, he is so bad. It’s “Full disclosure”. What a putz.
I will say this about all of the comments are bout trading players, or cutting them just at the star of their decline…..that’s great, I hope we do that AFTER we have appeared in and won a few more Super Bowls and can start to call ourselves a dynasty. We haven’t done anything close to that in 40 years, so call me when that happens, otherwise I would like us to start KEEPING some of these guys
I’d at least like if we are shopping a player we actually are . You think X wasn’t going WTF today?

If the SCOTUS should be non-partisan why does the Federalist Society exist? Why are 6 of the 9 judges on the SCOTUS all hand picked by this “non-partisan HA! HA! group”?
Hypocrisy
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federalist_Society
The Federalist Society doesn’t hand pick any judge. They have a membership and an opinion. That’s it. 6 of the current 9 Supremes were members. Not particularly surprising since it is a conservative/libertarian organization. Exists to counter liberal loonies attempts to throw the constitution away.
is it focused on sitting judges from the RIGHT?
YES IT IS.
My statement stands.
Federalist Society is something more than some kind of club these days. Mitch and Trump have pretty much been going off their recs as far as judges and justices. And there is nothing wrong with that…. but a major force in the legal world so long as the is a conservative Pres.
Yes, judges from the right. Conservatives and Libertarians.
We MAY have already drafted Howards replacement in the first round this past draft. Iggy is a good prospect and they have kept him on the boundary for a reason….
I don’t want to lose Howard, but he has never stayed healthy a whole season and has bad knees.
If we can get multiple high picks ( a first and more) I might make the trade.
If you want to trade X gonna be a while. Trade deadline was 45 minutes ago. But every player has their price.
It’s next Tuesday. 11-03
My bad completely……anything else going on that Tuesday?
LOL, well I put my garbage cans out on the street on that day. So yes, a rather momentous day. 😉
Late to the party, by the time I comment it is revealed that the whole thing is fake new by Omar!?
AND the trade deadline had past! Thanks Stanger! LOL
D,
Whenever I watch Forrest Gump, I’m the opposite. I like to fast forward to the part where Jenny dies and then do my best Nelson Muntz impression.
LOL
Well truthfully i 90% of the time watch it all the way through, it just depends on if i feel the need to feel good. Like i hate Jenny as a character, (and as a name come to think about it, my ex is named Jenny lol), but i feel bad for little forest that he doesnt get to have his whore cunt mother around to see him grow up.
Omar’s tweet says “Full Discloser.” Dude is supposed to be a journalist and doesn’t know the term is “Full Disclosure?” What a tool…journalism is dead.
i guess thats the fancy way for him to say TBH, which is what he really means.
He’s best buddies with Mike E. I figure that counts for something.

That or with one of the two firsts they already have they could land Surtain, or Wade from OSU. Both more pree style CB’s who could fill that role better than Iggy. Iggy isnt too shabby on the outside, but to me his skillset is much better for NCB
Iggy can hold it down for the rest of the year if they got a big offer.
Wouldn’t it be great if the Biplanes got the number one pick and Lawrence decided to stay in school?
Another participant in the tank for Trevor club?
I mean the movie had a ton of great comedic actors/actresses but Kevin Kline to me stole the show.
Kevin Kline was great in that movie.
CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin constructed a position-by-position list of 75 players that could be on the move ahead of the Nov. 3 trade deadline. Some of the notable names include Saints quarterback Jameis Winston, Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green, Texans edge rusher J.J. Watt and Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore. For the full list, check out CBSSports.com.
————————————————–
Guess i wasnt off on the Texans willing to trade Watt. Maybe he goes to the Steelers where he joins both his brothers.
Apparently Dontari Poe is another name on the trade block. He wouldnt be bad for us, would give us a True 0/1 tech guy.
Rock, Libertarians are not right wing. They are fiscally conservative but socially liberal as they believe in individual freedom and that you own yourself.
Which is about as close to anything i could identify as, though im probably more toward the center socially than anything, i can be on different sides of the fence on any given social subject.
Same here.
Haason Reddick, whom many of you all drooled over during his draft year, is supposedly available as is Watt and Mercilus, Takk McKinley, Dunlap from the Bengals, and Ingram from the Chargers. Some of those are nice names to consider, Reddick i wasn’t big on when he was drafted, i felt like he wasnt going to hit the ground running so i wouldnt have used a high pick on him, but he has very slowly developed to be a pretty decent player, so now that all the work has been done it might not be a bad play if the price is right. Keep in mind the pass rush pool isn’t that great next year, some decent players, and some decent hybrid types, but nothing outstanding.
Myles Jack is supposed on the block, as well as Sheldon Rankins from the saints, those are two players that make us better as well. Marcus Maye from the Jets, though it kinda helps them go full dumpster fire.
Discloser eh? Omar should have checked that one before throwing that out there . . .
He didn’t back down though, chose to play the victim. Would love to know where he did get the info. Dolphins would too.
Not backing down doesn’t necessarily mean he did the right thing. He might have had a bad source, either way, just say it was mistake and explain why.
All he had to do was check with the team and report their response. He could have written the exact same article, same headline, and thrown a single line with the team’s response. He’s a shitty reporter.
Lol, they guy is such a fag play thug that one day he is going to catch a beat down for his posing lol. I hope one of the fucking player just snap and tear his braided coconut off. Maybe we get a real thug ass white receiver, like out of Penn U and i dont mean Pennsylvania \University. He pulls some white receiver shit on him and he straight up grabs the braids and walks off with that fucker head and straight back to prison lol. Full on Hernandez style and just sits down and goes “worth it”.
“Wasn’t that terrible, the difference? All this anger, craziness, right?…Fire coming out of her eyes.”
— about 78-year-old Lesley Stahl, who far as I can tell is real polite. But guess she is real scary to some.
What’s this in reference to?
It’s Trump’s explanation for why he bolted early from his 60 Minutes interview. Aired last Sunday.
I don’t know how to tell you guys this but last week was our bye week. Or bi week. Whatever does it for you. Nothing judgy from me.
Lol. Subtle, but firm. Shame-scolding like a true momma.
You can thank the pats for having so much covid that our schedule got all messed up.
My biggest concern for this weekends game is the speed of the game for Tua. Rams only had 3 sacks against the Bears but their pressure was relentless and we still don’t have a run game.
I think we run the ball well enough to keep a defense honest. It would be nice to see some more explosive plays overall though.
Stanger – Didn’t see it, but he’s dealt with some real nonsense from 2 of the moderators so maybe she just went over the top and he decided he didn’t want to deal with it. Do you know what she said, how she said it?
She continued to pepper him with the same questions after he answered them as if he said the opposite. You know how Kamala Harris always has that big arrogant smile as if anything against her is a joke, that’s what Lesley Stahl reminded me of.
I’ll ask a simple question: who do you think Lesley Stahl supports?
Of course. I just read an article on it. So she proceeds to ask him why he called Fauci and idiot. He said I never called Fauci an idiot, he said in response to her question about COVID that people don’t want to hear about Fauci anymore, and these idiots that got it wrong. He asked he why she doesn’t talk about Biden, she said we don’t bring up unverified information. WHAT A CROCK! You know what, fuck Lelsey Stahl and the liberal media she works for.
Another thing about Kamala Harris is when she’s talking about growing up as a young black girl, she reverts to talking like an 8 year old who is on the verge of crying. It’s such an act it makes my skin crawl. That’s one of the main reasons I’ve been against Democrats for decades. They speak to people and mostly their base as if they’re children and they will never survive without them. They use different dialects for different groups they are speaking to. Big Brother and Big Sister to the rescue. It’s so disrespectful and demeaning and people buy into it. Sad.
Guess you guys saw the interview different than I did. Trump still cut it short for what me seemed little reason, but guess that just my take.
I think he’s tired of the same old same old nonsense. There is no doubt the mass media is bias in favor of the Democratic Party. So now you need independent social media outlets to balance it out. I’ve been seeing this long before Trump.
This may seem a little far fetched, but then again, there’s some crazy stuff that gets posted here. It has crossed my mind more than once that Trump never intended to be President. I think he said he was running the last time and it just took off. I think he was bragging and spewing stuff like he does, and BOOM, he was ahead in the polls. And it went from there, and with some help from the Dems by putting Hillary as his opponent, he won.
After the first debate, it made me think of it again. I think that show was intentional. He never intended to win the first time, and now he’s trying to lose it this time. I think he’s tired of it. He’s able to brag about how the economy was doing before Covid came along, he can blame any problems currently on Covid and get out by losing.
Stranger things….
I’m not a big Kevin Kline fan, but he was excellent in Wanda. They were all really good, actually.
Great film!
Herd,
I think Trump simply wanted to be able to brag that he was President and that he made our economy boom. He already has and will continue to make money off it, but it’s really about his ego and what he can now say forever he was or did. Actually doing the work of being a President was never something he was interested in. The ego stroke and the power rush are all he really wanted.
D are you East of the cone?
I’m pretty sure BBM is?
I’m surprised Steve or Phelon haven’t mentioned Tony Bobulinki’s interview with Tucker. There’s the smoking gun for Biden corruption and why he’s compromised. Guy has sold America out to ensure his family profited off our biggest competitor. On the other side, people still talk about Russia and Trump when there’s video of Biden bragging of withholding financial aid to Ukraine. Russia, with an economy smaller than California is a bigger threat than China? Ummmm, what?!
i bet you all, one american dollar that NOBODY will watch this, and still vote for that corrupt old fucking fool.
wait a minute …… i take that bet back ………i just remembered how many American hating liberals support that crooked bastard, and will ignore the truth ……….sad.
Q: any of you guys wonder why the main stream media refuses to even cover this?
A: FAKE ASS NEWS.
Q: any of you guys wonder why Tucker Carlson is kicking ass in the ratings?
A: probably because he EXPOSES THE TRUTH.
Tucker is my favorite media person now. He’s far better than Hannity or anyone honestly. He will call out both sides but there’s a lot more ammo on the left.
dude cracks me up…….lol.
Happy Birthday Herd!!!
