but also the notion that the #1 overall pick, ahead of Jayden Daniels might be "just fine" if he can clean up areas where he "looked clueless" ....

He obviously had some good throws and extended some plays with his legs (so did Fields when he was in Chicago). He will likely improve as the season goes along, but idk about praising him for a great throw to Odunze on the sideline and stuff like that. He's a #1 overall pick. He should be able to make some fantastic throws. I think it's way more important that the floor of his game gets raised as opposed to seeing very occasional flashes of the ceiling.

i asked this in a week 1 thread but what does peafoam think about his QB using nail polish? that's gotta hurt and yeah, anyone saying he looked pretty good last night doesn't watch much football.

Do we think it’s tough for peafoam to support a QB wearing nail polish?

The place I used to rent is raising 3% this year compared to a few 8% increases in years past (I never paid 8% because I had a working relationship with the property manager but would have otherwise.) The increase in my gas and electricity bills is nothing compared to my overall lower grocery bills (sure some things are up slightly but many products are down at the stores I visit), my auto insurance (but there could be other factors at play there like something falling off my record), cell bill, etc and especially gasoline. thought you were a teacher

but who will axe us if we feel better off today than we did one year ago?

that was your least TDS laden post. Feeling he isn't serious on certain matters or feeling like it's a big stunt are not really TDS level jabs. That is more when people feel the need to insert the word orange, or call him a realty tv personality, etc. That stuff gets silly because he's a guy who used to have a reality show who is now a 2x POTUS, meanwhile someone like Kamala has never done anything and is about to have a book tour. So... I was just trying to keep the convo about the topic, which is also about trump obviously, so I never said I didn't want to talk about him... that wouldn't make much sense.

I didn't say I don't want to talk about Trump. The topic is indeed about Trump. I was saying there was no need to the bring the TDS level jabs that don't have anything to do with the topic.. (reality TV narcissist for example). I mentioned biden/kamala because they kept the tariffs from Trumps first term. I think that is very relevant to the topic... but I didn't say something like "Biden, while trying to figure out where he was on a day to day basis, decided to keep Trumps tariffs"....

eh, I don't know about that as far as the Giants and Daboll. It's not like his contract is fully guaranteed. He makes 5-6 million annually. I can't imagine long time owners of a franchise that has seen success would make that kind of decision based on such a low amount (low in the grand scheme of football)

McDaniel topping the list makes sense. I think Daboll would be a bad bet at those odds. The Giants regime should have been fired after last season. If I were a Giants fan, I would be disgusted with the organization probably more so than any time in recent history. But Mara seemed to state that he was tired of turning things over every few years and now they just drafted their franchise QB. I think it's fair to expect the team to be better this year but I also feel like the length of the leash was somewhat reset. If they fire Daboll now, you might as well rebrand yourself as Woody and the Jets.

I only bring up Pelosi because she is a great liberal hero. Nothing major was ever done in the 90s but she was speaking on it. So while I don't really like Donald Trump, I can at least say he's taking action that others have only spoken about. Same can sort of be said for deportation and curbing new illegal immigration. I am not even saying he's going about it 100% the correct way, just that he is taking action. I think it also speaks volumes that one of the things from his first term that Biden/Harris did not axe (and actually added some new ones I believe) was his initial tariffs

again, my post was not really about Trump or pro Trump, so you don't need to fill your response with jabs at Trump. You can keep it to basic discussion. I was simply saying what I have seen in my area all year... and again, pointing to the fact that if we are blaming tariffs for any rise in prices, at least the issue is something that economists will argue short term/long term benefits and detriments. To me that feels better than simply having high costs and being like "well, Russia!" I would rather it be because of our own actions that could at least potentially have long term benefits. It doesn't matter to me if Trump made that argument because most rational people with a basic understanding of economics (like a guy with a minor in finance) should know the possible positive outcomes that are on the table. I mean, I can't imagine Nancy Pelosi stood in front of congress in the 90's beating the drum about trade imbalance with China and our lack of reciprocal tariffs just for fun. I would imagine she was proposing action, though nothing was ever done, with a long term benefit mindset.

cool. Im not a Trump guy, and I know you're better at reading than guttertard. As I said, I am seeing lower prices all over. So in a vacuum, he's done what he campaigned on, at least for me and my area. There was a thread not long ago where people were discussing prices of gas/beef/eggs where they lived and it seemed like the minority of people were seeing prices still be high. I've got cheaper gas, eggs, overall grocery bills, internet and cell phone bills... my auto insurance 6 month premiums also fell this year. The place where I had been renting was nailing me with 8% increases in 2022 and 2023. My old neighbor told me this year his increase was 3%. Pretty much the only thing that is higher for me is natural gas and electric bills but those started getting higher back in 2024 Regardless, my point was that no matter if you agree with tariffs or not, if prices are not lower where you live, or if someone like myself starts to see them rising again, at least we can point to why and have some hope that it's for a greater good plan where we will see the benefits down the road. again, I am not saying you have to agree that there will be any long term benefit from tariffs... I am only saying that we have something tangible to point to where potential long term benefits have been discussed. Contrast that to 2023, 2024. What was the rationale behind the higher prices then? I feel like I often just heard "well, Putin invaded Ukraine!"

As a non maga I would say 2024: costs are too high because… well libs had no great answer other than to keep blaming Russia/ukraine 2025: I’m personally seeing lower costs so not sure but if I was seeing higher costs I’d at least say there’s a decent reason for it as we all know tariffs will obviously lead to some higher costs in the short term and the hope is for long term benefits. we can’t always just be content with status quo especially when it’s not great. Unfortunately that’s usually what dems/libs prefer. Hence why there are videos of Nancy pelosi addressing congress about trade imbalance and reciprocal tariffs on china though nothing was ever done. Or Bernie talking about how illegal immigration kills our middle class.

Regardless of the scoring he shouldn’t be on waivers anywhere

@Mr. Landry scoring does not seem to be set up for ppr.

It's football sunday so i'm not going to spend any more time on this beyond this post but yes, you were destroyed. You tripled or possibly quadrupled down trying "gotchas" all because you failed to read. now you're acting like I predicted "before or after" the election like it could be a super wide range, rather than a span of a few weeks before or after. I'm not even patting myself on the back for predicting it, more so stating that this isn't a pro or anti Trump thing. I wasn't clamoring that the fix was in on Trump. I just felt with the political climate, the timing of an announcement would be very telling, for one side or the other. Of course a vaccine was announced. We are very clearly talking about the timing of the announcement that it was 90% effective and basically ready. I already explained my reasoning for why they would delay the results, you're choosing to ignore it. A further explanation is that $$$ tops everything and if a company is in bed with politicians and promises are made, anything is possible and not acknowledging that is naivety. Maybe it was pure coincidence that they announce it right after Biden won.

Are you really going to @ me after getting absolutely destroyed with your repeated display of lack of simple reading ability? honestly, interaction with you in this thread is possibly making me wonder if you are in fact the dumbest poster on this board (and not peafoam). You don't need to agree with my thoughts on pfizer and the vaccine announcement. It is very clearly stated as my opinion on what happened. You just mentioned conspiracy theories. This is my theory. I have no reason to scour the internet for evidence of something that we know can't be proven. I never claimed to have any, I never claimed any other poster did. And actually, the pharma industry has started to lean democrat with its donations ever since 2020. You can indeed find evidence of that. So I don't think it matters what Trump or any other president had done for them in the past. I also did post my reasoning of why they would do this. I even mentioned discussing the idea with family months before and not even making a claim that it was either party pulling the strings, just that with the election right around the corner, someone was. If pfizer announced the results 3 weeks before election day, I would be here telling you the republicans controlled the timing of the announcement. you are perfectly entitled to believe that it is mere coincidence that pfizer announced a 90% effective vaccine the first business day after the election results

it's not a matter of the democratic public not wanting a vaccine in 2020. the sheeple public is going to do what they are told and obviously any member of the public that is okay with vaccinations would want one for covid as soon as possible. the entire idea is that the democratic PARTY wanted to delay the news until after the election, in what they knew would be a close and highly contested one, because obviously you don't want your opponent to be able to say "look what we delivered... a great vaccine, the best vaccine... we did that, I did that" I am sure you can read that in his voice. Regardless if it was pfizer or big pharma overlords in general, or the FDA. The idea I presented is simply hypothesis and yes, a conspiracy theory. I even mentioned I'm not big on them, but the timing of everything makes it seem so utterly obvious.

Not that I would have bet the over but I think that game was absolutely going over before the weather delay. Both offenses were in decent rhythm. I wonder if the over/unders will be a few ticks higher in general this season with the new kickoff rules.

I would also agree. I don't really think the throwing was a big deal but also probably something that shouldn't be done. As a less than casual observer of the WNBA it seems like a lot of the narrative the last season or 2 has been about players being disrespectful toward other players so i guess it would be tough for me to really care about certain players who were being disrespectful to Clark, feeling disrespected by some rubber dicks.
