    Soo…what exactly are the rules here?

    Rule - never refer to a poster's wife as a "beaner" after he mentions being married to a Latino. He won't think it's funny and will report you. Mike won't think it's funny either and will suspend you. I still think it's funny, but comedy has a price.

    First HC to be Fired: Titans' Brian Callahan

    Could be. Though I always wondered if the owner (Ross) who's now 85, was scared to make a big change for fear that it might entail a rebuild which could take a few years - time he ain't got. It's just inexplicable... TEN YEARS with nothing to show for it. Hell, they might as well have hired me. Since Marino left, I've usually just been disappointed with the Dolphins - for 25 years now. But at this point I'm just full of rage. I'm sick of our Capri wearing coach who can't speak a coherent sentence. Detest the gm. And disgusted by the owner. Lots of Dolphin fans say "we should keep these certain players and build a new team around them." I disagree. I want everyone associated with this cesspool gone - every player, coach, trainer, the secretary who answers phones, the schlub selling hot dogs in the stands. And then owner - God willing he'll GIVE UP THE GHOST. As much as I love my Dolphins, I absolutely hate this team.

    Israel Gaza thread- is the peace agreement still in effect?

    Fine, 268 convicted terrorists and 1,700 suspected terrorists.... in exchange for 20 hostages. I can't imagine why Hamas keeps taking Israeli hostages.

    Israel Gaza thread- is the peace agreement still in effect?

    Hostages released... excellent. All Israel had to do was release 1,968 convicted terrorists. Doesn't seem like a great deal, but that's always been Israeli's exchange rate. It only incentives Hamas to keep taking hostages, which is why they took so many last time. Israel more than anyone should know that's why ya never negotiate with terrorists, but apparently they haven't figured it out. Whatever. So Step 2 of Trump's peace plan - Hamas disarms and permanently leaves power. Everyone knows they'll never go for that. Articles I've read indicate the US gave Hamas some kind of assurances that once the hostages were released, Israel wouldn't resume the war - at least in the short term. So this is probably going to end up being a short-term cease fire.

    First HC to be Fired: Titans' Brian Callahan

    And yet the Dolphins won't fire Mike McDaniel. Heck Miami's GM is in his 10th season... zero playoff wins and after a decade on the job - this is the team he created. No other professional sports organization in the world would put up with that much ineptitude. Except the Dolphins.

    TNF Discussion: Eagles @ Giants - Week 6

    4 straight on Thursday Night Football.... not what the NFL wanted to see. Good way to make sure it gets banned in the off-season.

    Churn 'N Burn: Post Week 5 waiver wire

    That's my logic. Also think Haskins is more likely to get goal line carries due to size advantage and usage with Harbaugh back at Michigan.

    Trade: Joe Flacco Headed to Cincinnati

    He's about to learn "Yall seriously invested over 40% of the cap in 4 players? And one is out for the season? I'm screwed." I have no faith in this working out. Flacco looked awful in Cleveland posting the worst Qb rating of his career. Now he's behind a bad o-line that can't run.

    Diggs

    Now Diggs is now officially startable. He needed a big game to prove he still has that potential. Something that remained unknown until Sunday. Probably won't be consistent ... but that's most Wrs this year. Many in the top 3 rounds have been wildly inconsistent or just outright bad.

    Week 5 waiver wire targets

    There's some scuttlebutt of Kamara getting traded over the next few weeks. Kendre Miller would suddenly own that backfield. Might be worth a bench spot if ya got room.

    Week 5 waiver wire targets

    Rachaad White is worth considering given the uncertainty with Bucky. There's a chance he gets the start next week.

    Week 5 suicide league FAB bidding?

    That's insane. He almost certainly won't be around down the stretch. Gotta save that money for the elites later in the season.

    Week 5 suicide league FAB bidding?

    I think suicide league is the same as a guillotine league. Right? I'm in my 3rd year in a guillotine league. We also start with $1,000 FAB. The "experts" warn not to bid much the first few weeks and I've stuck to that advice. Only used about $75 so far picking up some mid-level Wrs with $20 - $30 bids. If you lost Nabers and Hill (oof - that sucks), then you probably need to pony up a little extra. Something like: $175 Chase - I'd go more, but without Burrow not sure Chase will ever return to superstar. $125 Allen $75 Pittman $60 Jennings $25 Slayton For me, I'm hurting at Rb and Gibbs just hit the waiver wire and I'm bidding $181 ... My biggest bid so far this year, but I need help. I probably won't get him, but that's as high as I'm willing to go. It's too early to brake the bank.

    Week 4

    I did end up drafting Tank - even reached a bit with a 9th round pick. Of course didn't start him, but of all the players I completely whiffed on - Tank tops the list. Since dropped him. Read those tea leaves wrong.

    Week 4

    Brian Thomas Jr. with the 9th overall pick. Otherwise, can't complain. 3-1 and about to end a long playoff drought. For once, my instincts worked - and I don't mean just avoiding injury bug. Chase Brown -vs- Bucky Irving.... for a week before the draft I was back and forth what to do with my 2nd rd pick. Brown's mediocre metrics and Bengals poor o-line nudged me in the right direction. Cook falling to early 4th sealed the deal. I'll be banana dancing my way to the playoffs!

    MNF Discussion: Buccaneers @ Texans - Week 2

    Texans had one of the worst o-lines coming into the season. In week 1 they earned a pff grade of 25th and now their starting center is out. I would've guessed the spread to be Bucs -3, not Texans. Shows what I know.

    Charlie Kirk was just shot

    Halloween is just around the corner! Maga hat, some blood, a sign reading "I love the 2nd amendment"... Charlie Kirk costumes!

    Charlie Kirk was just shot

    No loyalty. I had this conversation with my dad once... "If I murdered someone, would ya turn me in?" He said yes. I was like "Seriously? Heck, I'd help you bury Mom."

    TNF Discussion: Commanders at Packers - Week 2

    They said Achilles - not ***officially*** a full tear yet... but I think we know. It's over Johnny. 9,000+ all purpose yards, 73 Tds, 9 seasons. Strangely - never made a pro-bowl. A top fantasy pick for a few years between '21-'23. Thanks for the memories.

    Remembering 9/11

    "European airlines have been locking c*ckpit doors for nearly a decade... perhaps we should do that too.?." FAA - nah, screw that.
  25. Florida has a law known as the Sunshine Law which requires nearly everything that goes on government record, be available to the public quickly. Slow day in the media... check Florida records and find an odd story. Hence the perception "only in Florida."
