This year in the US there have been 18 school shootings. That’s nine times as many as in the whole history of the UK. Lack of gun control is, by far, the most inexplicable thing about America.
we have lots of gun control, stupid people get around the gun rules and laws

You wonder why liberals LOVE spending so much money on school with little to no results… but they don’t advocate for one dime for school protection; retired police, military, ANYTHING to protect the kids. Fine to have their politicians protected… but not our children. Shameful.
hey Scamp,
thanks for the Yardbarker info
also Walter only shows the first 5 picks on his summary page and I have not seen where he shows on all the 1st rounders from the mock drafts he lists
The problem is you have to click on each and every draft to see the whole thing. They’re all there. It would just be too much info to post on the initial page.
it would be neat if someone had all that data and you could just pick the team and see all the picks everyone made for the team
I’ve been on a database where you could sort that way before. I couldn’t find it this year.
I think it was the guy would provided the ranking of who did the best mock drafting
but like you I cannot find that site anymore
I guess I will keep tracking the Redskins picks among the various better known sites and publish the results here
Yea, there’s about 200 on there I’ve never heard of

The news of his trade angered fans and fellow Redskins players alike, but Fuller understands the team wasn’t looking to just get rid of him.
Actually, the day after the trade, I was still kind of in town, so I had just went up to the facility, really just to grab some stuff, go see coaches, Bruce [Allen] and everybody like that, so I was able to talk to both teams,” Fuller said. It wasn’t too bad, because it wasn’t like the Redskins were looking to get rid of me. … I think the Chiefs were kind of bringing it to ’em, like, ‘If you want this guy, you’re going to have to give up Kendall Fuller.’ All of them were upset that I had to go, so it wasn’t like they were trying to kick me out the door. It was a little bit emotional, especially having my college coach up there, [defensive backs] coach Torrian Gray. So just seeing all of them, the head coach, Bruce and Doug [Williams], it wasn’t too bad though.

Like I said at the time…things happened quickly, it was 9 p.m. ET, they had to get it done. I’m sure the Redskins probably tried to get ahold of his agent, but didn’t get through in time.
I will grant you that I don’t read all the local media, but I don’t recall stories about how they treated him poorly. I recall stories about not wanting to or wish they hadn’t giving him a away and a 3rd round draft pick
who said the Redskins treated Fuller badly?

This may be the year it could blow up in their faces. Something like 40 or 50 “tent pole” films, that is the kinds of films with 250 million budgets expected to make over 1 billion.

pole
only about 1/4.
Marvel has to finish the third phase. There’s too much loot in it not to. Plus, it has to be finished. They wouldn’t be safe to walk the streets if they didn’t.
As far as the genre itself, it has a built in, generational following. Which to studios is, $$$.
If a team trades for a player, who is responsible for paying deferred signing bonus — the old team or the new team?
To answer my own question, the trading team is responsible for paying any prorated bonuses, and the hit accelerates to the year of the trade. So in Sanders’ case, the portion of his contract the signing team would owe would be $8.25M in 2018 and there would be no cap hit for cutting him in 2019.
btw, this is the danger in the magical “reworking” of contracts. You save cap space in the early year(s), but at the expense of creating more guaranteed money that you will have to pay even if the player is injured or traded.

Rick Snider @Snide_Remarks
23s24 seconds ago
The Redskins are no longer the one thing that unites Washingtonians. It’s also hatred over how bad Metro has become. No matter how much money or time is spent on it they can’t get it right.
–
Old Man Snider took his funny pills this morning.
it has to serve too many masters
it is open for too long with too few people, and more of the buses need to be commuter-only time.
the non-DC localities fund it like a commuter system, and DC demands that it be open like an all the time mass transit system. they are stuck.
With out it, the city and whole region would grind to a halt when it comes to traffic. The biggest issue is that the suburbs have over-expanded with out providing their own infrastructure to balance things out (I’m looking at you Loudoun County).
You could replace the trains with automated electric buses
the system would be more flexible, and those buses could be used on certain (other) routes
but the more pragmatic decision would be to run it from like 5 or 6 to 8 or 9 and then, not sure what you do on the weekends with it.
but here’s the thing. we had relatives come to sight-see this summer for a day. they found that already Uber was FASTER AND CHEAPER than using the metro to move around the city (family of 4).
Cutting down the hours will kill the whole system, they are already seeing that with what’s going on now as they already reduce hours, not to mention, it basically destroys the cities economy because metro is the way working class folks still get around. I’ve got no faith in them putting into place electric buses after the disaster that was the H st. trolley.
The solution IMO is to start getting outside the box and think about ways to cut overhead. Maybe you start by replacing the escalators with stairs that don’t need constant repair. Maybe look into putting things like solar panels over all the tracks and outdoor facilities. Look into a zero-fare public transport model.
Also part of why uber is cheap is because they are low balling prices right now, in order to wreck the taxi system and public transit. But Uber loses billions a year and is subsidized mostly by anti-union investors.
Sanders would be an interesting pick up. Basically it would be an admission that we made a mistake in not re-signing DJax or Garcon, because Sanders is about the same age and has had about the same production, and would cost about the same as it would have cost to re-sign one of our guys.
Not necessarily. Garcon’s cap hit is 9.2 mil, Jackson’s is 11. Last year Garcon’s was 6.4, so maybe they could have squeaked him in… maybe, but what about the rest of his contract (almost defacto 3 year 29 million). Jackson was 12.5. In 2017, given what they wanted to do, it would have been prohibitive to sign both, and Jackson wouldn’t have fit at all.
Who really thought Pryor would be the bust that he was, and while maybe didn’t work out as well as they hoped, they thought they were improving the run D and DL in FA.
It would be an admission that they want to move Cousins, and get something for him, and that the WR corps in 2018 isn’t good enough.
But we’re not making that trade so your point is moot and as hard as you want to pat yourself on the back about Garçon and DJ, the correct move was to not bring them back
well, the way the Skins make that trade is
1) they want to get something for Kirk
2) Denver needs to move or cut salary to make the deal work anyway
3) in order to make the deal happen Denver sweetens the deal through some kind of conditional draft pick, because they don’t want to pay part of Sander’s salary, so it’s
Denver gets: Kirk minus Sanders high salary
Washington gets: Sanders and conditional pick
But, I don’t think they make that trade either
Time to rework TW and RKERRIGAN
The signing bonus of the cap hit would stay with Denver in a trade, correct?
I think that’s how it works. Some portion of the bonus does at least. If that’s the case you can subtract about 2.7 M of each year of his contract.
A pro-rated portion of the bonus would stay with Denver, yes, but stop this nonsense. We don’t need to be trading for a 30 YO receiver.
There is a rumor that Emmanual Sanders is on the trade block to make cap space…
0% chance we would/could do it. But would be funny if we were to work out a deal with Denver, to tag Kirk, and trade him for Sanders.
That’s EXACTLY what I was thinking… sign and trade for KIRK!!!
It would be an amazing move if they were to pull it off. But, I’m still saying 0% chance of making it happen.
His contract is awful pricey
…but Denver already paid the biggest hit of it
I’m going to laugh when he prices himself out of the market.
I was speaking of Sanders… but yeah, Kirk is going to get paid
What’s Sanders due this year? $11mil?
Just posted it above MJ, just shy of 11 M.
Ha, saw it after I posted.
Yeah, just looked it up Sanders cap hit in ’18-$10,937,500
and 12 million in 19.
People say “Why would Kirk hamstring his new team by signing and trading with a pick included?” That’s gospel… but IF he wanted to go to Denver… he would actually be HELPING them unload cap space while NOT hamstringing them with one less draft pick,.
Thomas + Ridley, should the Broncos want to
The last thing the Redskins need to do is to trade for a 30 year old receiver.
There’s an out in his contract for next year. We have 0.0 legit receivers. We get SOMETHING for Kirk.
Still not going to happen…
I’d much rather them pay for one of the younger WRs I named in my column yesterday than get a 30 year old.
The free agent pool of WR’s this year is akin to a toilet bowl pre filled
I would be ecstatic if we could get Robinson.
For $14 million a year?
We all love the idea. But it would never work in reality. It’s basically warp drive or a lightsaber.

I doubt sincerely they’d trade him for anything, and I doubt anyone offers 2 ones for him. But I believe it would take at least 2 ones for them to even think about it. Chances of Foles being an Eagle in Sept.: 95.82%.
____________
Eagles should move Foles when his value is highest. Seeing as how Jimmy just got paid, I’m sure Foles with his shiny new Super Bowl MVP trophy is gonna want to start.
Dude, Foles will start in week 1 for Philly. Wentz ain’t gonna be ready and I bet Wentz starts 2018 on the PUP list.
Peter King is a fucking moron.
OTOH, if he’s on the Eagles roster this spring, it voids the rest of his contract and it means he is a FA in 2019, making his trade value zero.
So the fuck what?
– Bruce
fair enough
I’d trade Foles, get the 1st or 2 1sts….and sign McCown or a vet to play for Wentz. Trade while he’s hot.
Smart move is to trade him, hire a solid backup who can play for Wentz while he’s still hurt, if that guy plays well, then you trade that guy too for something.
So you end up with Foles for a 1st round pick, Replacement (maybe you get a 4th round pick or something for them when CW is ready), and you still have a franchse QB after all that.
You are delusional.
It’s what New England would do.
Again…delusional.
No way. No how. Never gonna happen and you should be slapped for even typing that out because it’s just so dumb.
The Eagles would be idiots to trade Foles right now. Wentz probably won’t be healthy by the start of the year – at least, they can’t guarantee it – so the Eagles would have a bunch of additional draft picks and no QB.
WWNED?
there are a handful of teams who should trade two 1s for Foles
Eagles, Redskins, Jets, Vikings
the problem is, really only 1 of those teams prob does not have a QB by the time the tampering period begins.
And if you are the Jets, you look at Foles’ contract and maybe decide it’s so much cheaper over the next 3 years than a potential Cousins deal that it is worth the trade-off. Literally could sign two pro bowlers in FA, and many positions with the money difference.
there are a handful of teams who should trade two 1s for Foles
Eagles, Redskins, Jets, Vikings
—————–
i doubt the eagles would trade 2 firsts for foles.
Why would we trade for him either, when we just traded for Smith?
both of these were my point
the point of the story was that no teams would, but I argue that the Jets should

alex, when do you imagine they figured out the heliocentricity thing? certainly not before the first 5 books of the bible were written. and certainly not by the time “jesus”was around.
Given that Judaism per-dates Heliocentrism by 2,000 years, hard to really say, it’s obvious they knew about it, they were part of the Greek empire, and at that point they weren’t fans of it. But there’s references to some of the constellations & stuff in the torah.
alex,
do you find it puzzling that god would not only not correct, but reinforce, people’s erroneous conceptions about the nature of the universe? heck, new testament authors thought the earth was flat.
heliocentric is purely a matter of where you lay out your coordinate system (“framing”). technically, the whole thing is moving around something and the various parts are all moving around each other. this would be more obvious if the coordinate system were set outside of the solar system, like maybe, the center of mass for the Milky Way.
…but it wouldn’t simplify the math… and relative to the mass of the Sun the other bits can have the math simplified significantly for almost any purpose I can think of. Except maybe putting a stick on the Sun in order to measure on the Earth when the sun explodes early enough to have time for animalistic sex with the temple prostitutes.

But if I had to pick a current player, it wouldn’t be Trent because of his drug suspensions, so I’d have to go with either Kerrigan or Swearinger. Of the older guys, the only jersey currently in my closet is Darrell Green.
Wait, what? does he not play for the Redskins?
I thought it was kinda an odd color and scheme for a Skins alt uni…
Camo military salute?
Maybe we sign a Carlos Hyde, Chris Ivory, or CJ Anderson?
Denver seems to be making room for Kirk. Sanders, Talib, Anderson all possible cuts. Even heard Thomas. Cut whole team sign Kirk, LOL.
Perhaps they ought keep their players and draft a rookie at the top of the draft. Just sayin’.
Yeah. In Elway they trust I guess?
Not sure a QB like John freakin’ Elway can’t see that Kirk is not the cold-blooded killer he was in his playing days. I don’t think Elway sees Kirk that way nor do I think Elway is convinced Kirk deserves to be paid like other top-tier QB’s who…you know…win playoff games and championships.
Oh man. I hope they do it. Blow up the whole damn roster to make room for a guy who will make an entire fan base dread MNF.
hahahahaha yeah. Kirk is not good under the lights.

Screw going out to a restaurant on Valentines Day. Got scallops, shrimp and lobster on the menu tonight.
Heart shaped rib-eye…
that’s how I roll
my problem is that I’d have to make that heart-shaped rib-eye out of seitan,
and I’m larnin, but I’m not going “there”. there’s fake, and then there’s seitan fake.
I hate cooking with that stuff
Clay bricks are easier to mold into an appetizing shape
if you used some lentil paste, ground beef, and eggs, prob get a better taste and texture
I’ve got zPizza on speed dial!
We were gonna make a heart shaped pizza at home, but I think we are changing up and going seafood.
that would be the other option for us
Nothing says ‘I love you’ like a meat lovers supreme
I always keep a spare meat lovers pizza in the trunk, because you never know
Tomorrow is the day to hit the greeting card section, heavy discount. Pick up a few cards even, just in case you forget a few years from now. Might as will pick up the discount flowers and chocolates too. Mother’s day is on the way, and you know, maybe a lil something for the mistress.

______________________
Yup got that done last night. Tonight is hopefully for extracurricular activities.
See, my wife being of Cajun decent, we did Mardi Gras dinner last night, but typically if we want to go out for we do it the night before too, go to a good New Orleans style restaurant like Arcadiana
There is zero opportunity for romance in a crowded ass restaurant.
Not zero.
I mean, depends on how long the table cloths are.
and whether the pizza delivery guy lingers around an awkward amount of time
LOL.
yeah, can’t miss the Ash Wednesday soup supper!
At some point you have to say to yourself…am I dipping too much into this Ash Wednesday joke I keep using?

well, more denominations are into the Lenten thing then they are the Catholic like Sainthood thing with Val’s Day, so… I mean even Mardis Gras is tied to Lent.
Valentine’s Day is for fucking, debate over.
re-arrange that and it’s a tourism promo for a city in Austria
Please do…
Fuck that, every day should be open for fuckin’
Every day is, but do you invest that much “every day”?
Of course. But, this one is her day.
No one knows why. It just is.
Another promo!
Looks like there was a shooting outside the NSA this AM.
An assassination?

“Police responded to a shooting Wednesday outside the National Security Agency (NSA) campus at Fort Meade, Maryland, where authorities surrounded a handcuffed man after a black SUV ran into a barrier.”
So not sure if this was an attempted attack on the NSA or your typical bad Maryland drivers.
Someone went the wrong damn way and got lit up for it.
That’s what it looks like to me.

Alex, why is there a naked man in our bed?
I didn’t say devils threesome.
One year, I bought I don’t know how many dozens of both red and pink roses. Plucked petals for hours and then did a giant heart shape on the bed of red petals with an arrow going through it in pink petals.
She loved and rolled around in it all.
Thankfully, OxyClean saved the sheets.

FYI….the sooner you buy flowers today, the better the availability is.
And if your wife says “you don’t have to get me anything”, she’s LYING.
And opening the door to acting like you actually didn’t get her anything then surprising her after she’s lost her shit.
“you don’t have to get me anything” is an invitation to go above and beyond. get her something – even though you didn’t have to. easy peasy.
I always strive to get a card that makes her cry. I’m 14 – 0, undefeated.
i don’t know about crying, but 24-0 here on v-day.
The cards that relate to your relationship….. she’ll know you were selective, and she’s special = home run
Mine’s the opposite. If we agree we’re not doing anything this year for [holiday] and I do something to surprise her, she really gets pissed.
And punishes you?
Maybe that’s your intent?

Using my phone to convert the show’s speech to text. Working flawlessly.
So, it can be transcribed, for anyone so inclined to do so for their listeners/readers.
Caveat, what I’m doing here has no idea when there’s a switch in speaker. Regardless of who’s talking, it not recognizing that’s it’s Steve vs Chris. Also, it’s not formatting paragraphs and such. It’s one long block of text. So, probably, each guy would need to transcribe his own voice and someone compile and put it all together.
So yea, it can be done. If someone is inclined to.
It’s gonna happen it’s gonna be more legal the trend line is saying this stuff is going to be he’d become legit more legal except for a aloud in more places so they say OK we can stay with their you know fellow’s horse leagues and spending you know but jillions of dollars fighting this and Congress what they rally figures is a losing bet or they can probably spend less lobbying money to get themselves out in front of being able to actually benefit from where they think the winds of change are going to go so is a it’s pretty is a pretty interesting move in terms of saying where the culture is where their dollars on lobbying can go and probly less and ultimately had more impact for their bottom line so it’s pretty astute from that level it is in people after rember the DB is a more bluntly progressive wing in the Indian fells very conservative and their viewpoint in their outlook in the way they approach the game in the way they market themselves in another game the NFL markets itself is kind of the family thing they don’t want controversy they bring in a lot of a heap a lot of and on the solves has their own stupidity in a by the way they handled the anthem protests and a bunch of other things but the NBA tense be more progressive you know that they don’t have the same anti drug standards for example you know they don’t I don’t see if they test for marijuana I can’t remember if they don’t test for all or they test for just a much higher standard it was booed point is they are out in front of politically they’re more progressive about it in this is one of these more progressive steps they’re not afraid to go out and and and take the step and say we want 1% of gambling revenues were the NFL would never ever ever do that ever never you know because they just don’t want that perception in the nfl views themselves as you know America’s sport now you really and the NBA is just in a different spot Adam to me the money is or the credibility in as what it comes down take the credibility hit because you I would it would always be in the back of your head it always would if they’re getting one person a bedding houses effect in the game it’s that question is never in a go away and they open themselves up to that by doing it they agreed at all it’s interesting to see where the NFL goes with this I think once they see it in the inevitability of I don’t know if it’s inevitable well that they make big make that choice it’s certainly getting did the can’t make that choice it’s against federal and take make a choice to decide whether they’re going to track towards it continued be legal or plan for a world where it becomes more legal in some way that would make it aside but I hear they can decide whether Babbitt yet still 1 metric that’s interesting and may push the NFL to change its stance is the ratings were privately it which it down for the Super Bowl the same sort of longer trends we couldn’t to be wise but they did set an all time record with is your goal in money bet so if you’re looking a different metrics about popularity how people are engaging where the interest is the zeros actually it in sting little petri dish for that does the ratings continue to tick trick tick down and their setting records on money spent gambling on the typical also can we decide mitt that fancy for balls gambling with the in out you know it really got is Enoch as we do and you know some of the daily fantasy stuff and that’s embroiled all sorts litigation you know also but he help the daily fantasy football online is you put money down and then you will get money back if a certain result is achieved you know doing it’s gambling in the NFL as full full force behind his footballing and recently ours it’s not that’s a major major on popularity stream for the Salts and to eat does not me but no teacher own in a fine but the fellows and braising fantasy football precisely for that reason and truth be told is if it were me I would throw it in device Box as as as I think fantasy footballers camblyne when it comes down to it and the NFL is supporting that I don’t disagree I do draw a pretty clear distinction between traditional fan fantasy football and daily fantasy football although I would agree that it to say that traditional fancy ball isn’t gambling when is ridiculous a just and yet scale organization yeah I mean a lot of people play fancy from what we did we had a little internal hogsty league and know what he had any money on anything which is the thing he did you know and there are thousands of 1000 thousands people that

you should read some “transcripts” of the captioned, live technical events we sometimes do, they’re technical sessions and captioners are never technical people. hilarious. well, unless you’re hearing impaired.
is there an app for that?
Yes. Several. I’m using Samsung’s voice recorder app’s speech-to-text feature.
It also does simple recordings of whatever it hears. So say, you want to act like you’re listening to music on earbuds while secretly recording Russians….

If you guys want to get some insight into how the Hall of Fame voters think, the best thing to do is go back and listen to our interview with Rick Gosselin from the Dallas Morning News. He is a voter. It was this past off-season, but it should be under the interviews tab.

Here’s your chance to meet Redskins legend, Joe Jacoby. He will be in town giving remarks at the Grace Christian Academy Gala on April 29th at the McLean Hilton. Ticket information can be found online: http://www.GraceChristianAcademy.org/gala
my lovely wife is in charge of fund-raising for this little christian school up the street. no, really. seriously. last year i met joe, and joe gibbs, doug williams, dexter, doc, ken harvey, gary clark….
it really is a tiny little school, but one of the crazy rich benefactors has many redskin friends.
There’s a lecture…but I’ll skip it.
I got this – BTG
The irony in this post is just awesome
i know!
and, those crazy folks up there are the nicest, most helpful, earnest people you will ever meet.
Joe Jacoby is a sweetheart. If you run into him tell him I say hi.
TBF,
There are probably only 1 or 2 guys who we’ve had on the show that weren’t super nice to us.
those old stars appreciate how they are local heroes simply by virtue of being an ex-redskin. crappy as the team has been for 25 years, this is a great market for ex-nflers.
The league has always had an opposition stance on players. To them, they’re just the help. Hence why sports writers are giving priority over guys that actually played the game.
We’ll get robots soon enough.
-The Management
The list of Hall of Fame voters is in our Jacoby post under the Projecs tab at the top of the page. We didn’t update the list for this year, so it still has David Elfin listed. There are one or two different now, but the rest of them are correct. It’s probably 85% correct.
If peeps have the time, we can dig up some of that missing contact info…am I right?
Larry Michaels or not…you look past the advocate and focus on the player. It’s bonkers that Jacoby’s on field dominance does not warrant with these voter d-bags
it is a travesty. in fact, it is a travesty of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of a travesty of two mockeries of a sham.
of a sham conspiracy!
Seen it……
They’re douchebags, why would you expect them to not act like douchebags?
but why the anti-jacoby sentiment? or why the supposed anti-redskin sentiment? clearly, based on on-field effect, jacoby was a monster. changed the left tackle position.
Did you listen to the show? There’s a very good theory to that.
did not listen…i wish they’d convert to text. whatever. my problem.
Bad Walter, no donut!
does the persecution complex have to do with the name of the team?
That would be included, imo
FYI, you can play the podcast and blog at the same time.

Nebraska MBB covered again. I don’t play that game, but it seems to me is the easy money (by looking at ATS records) is you look at non-basketball schools that are having a good season and bet them because it appears like it is going to take the majority of a season for the line to catch up to Neb and Auburn. Again, FEPO.
AND, if you follow MBB, how does Larry Eustachy keep getting jobs?
I used to love MailBoxBaseball, as a young ruffian.
I prefer the bowling version.
Maybe there’s a list of voters and voter’s email addresses floating around out there….
The list of Voters is right on our site at the top of the page in the Jacoby post.
I can’t find that, looked as far as page 5 (Cardinals game)
It’s under the projects tab at the top of the page.

After all of that, it’s going to be slower than a stock electric SUV.
Still confused why there’s no fuel cell push. Recharge an electric car in about 2 minutes, completely full, but putting ethanol or gasoline in it. Or some kind of bio-fuel. Less battery weight. Would open up the electric car market dramatically.
Why are you confused? – BP
Big Oil and Big Agriculture should be behind liquid-fuel powered hydrogen (electric) fuel cells like it was life or death. Chrysler was working on it in the late 90’s, but if we had Toyota working on it, they’d have 80 mpg global market Corollas for the last decade. And HS kids would be modding the electric motors. Though, I would guess there would be a gas to electric conversion bandwidth issue that if exceeded, would require $$$ to mod.
Look, they’re prepared to switch, just not ready to.
Fuck the media (no offense, lol) football people should vote, I agree.
Bruce jock-riding, yuck
Trey quinn is a wide receiver to look for in round 4 and Beyond
Dark Monkey Music
Possible mid round WR:
Dante Pettis, Washington
If the Redskins are looking for a more polished receiver with an NFL-ready skill set, Pettis might be their guy. He’s reportedly going to test very well at the combine, but his athleticism shows off more in his route-running and short-area quickness than leaping or pure speed. Pettis has a nasty double-move to get behind defenders, and strong hands to pluck tough catches outside his frame.
At 6-1, 195 pounds, Pettis has a slight frame that could struggle with physical corners, but his releases are very polished and explosive against press coverage. He could potentially play on the outside and in the slot, allowing Gruden to be flexible with his personnel packages. Pettis is also an elite return man with nine punt return touchdowns at Washington.
The Wizards have a net rating of +17.8 in the 326 minutes this season when Wall, Beal, Oubre, and Porter have been on the floor together. It’s by far the Wizards’ most productive four-man combo on the team that’s played significant time together. In fact, it’s the most third-most effective four-man lineup in the ENTIRE NBA amongst lineups which have played 300 or more minutes together.
