How Different is the Redskins’ Front Office and Scouting Operation?
By Steve Thomas
May 15, 2018
[EDITOR’S NOTE: THIS COLUMN WAS WRITTEN AND PUBLISHED ONE DAY BEFORE THE REDSKINS HIRING OF BRIAN LAFEMINA AS COO. STEVE HAS ADDRESSED THAT MOVE IN A SEPARATE POST.]
Around here in Redskinsland, fans are pretty fond of criticizing the front office for, well, alot of things, and with good reason – after all, the Redskins haven’t won more than 10 games in a season since the 1991 Super Bowl team. We all know the history, so I’m not going to torture you with another recap. Suffice to say that this fanbase blames Dan Snyder and/or Bruce Allen for pretty much everything that’s gone wrong for this franchise. I’ve written a fairly significant amount here in an effort to figure out to some degree of objective certainty whether Bruce Allen, in particular, has done a good or bad job (for example, read about my analysis of the Redskins draft history here; read about my free agency analysis here). The question of the day today is whether the structure of the Redskins front office is different from other teams, and if so, whether that difference contributes to the team’s struggles. So let’s proceed.
Some basics that fans may not understand: every NFL team has two completely different sides that don’t necessarily interact, a business operations area and the football operations area. Smart franchises have separate people in charge of both. I don’t want to necessarily delve too deeply into the business operations of a team, because as much as that interests me, I recognize that it’d be boring to most. If you want to learn more about this, speak up, and if enough people are interested, I may write more about it in a slow week. Regardless, though, a bit of context is helpful.
Team Leadership[1]
Every NFL team except the Cleveland Browns, the Los Angeles Chargers, and the Cincinnati Bengals has employed someone who isn’t the principal owner at the top of their respective chain of command who has the title of either President or Chief Operating Officer. For each of those 29 teams, that individual is the senior executive underneath the owner and oversees both the football side and the business side of the franchise on a day to day basis for the owner. The Chargers are a Spanos family affair, with John Spanos as the President of Football Ops and A.G. Spanos as the President of Business Ops, and Alex and Dean Spanos collectively splitting the ownership duties. The Browns are owned by Jimmy Haslam (who’s had had his own problems: read here) and have neither a President nor COO, but employ an Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer who most likely is overseeing the day to day business affairs. Jimmy Haslam certainly isn’t doing it himself. Mike Brown is both the owner and president of the Bengals, but has his daughter Katie Blackburn running the team’s day to day operations as Executive Vice President. Even the Dallas Cowboys, who are a one man gang with Jerry Jones as president running everything, has his son Stephen in the role of COO. A few other teams (Giants, Vikings, Cardinals, Patriots, Steelers) also have relatives of the owner running the team as either president or COO.
The Redskins are well served on the business end, with Bruce Allen as team president and Dennis Green serving as President of Business Operations.
Football Operations
A team’s football operations are broken up into multiple departments: (1) the team itself, led by the head coach, (2) the scouting operation, (3) the athletic training staff, and (4) team logistics such as video, equipment, travel, and other things necessary to a professional football team. Most franchises have one separate person who is in charge of all of these areas. Only the Redskins, the Dallas Cowboys, the New England Patriots, and the Cincinnati Bengals are structured otherwise. In Dallas, Jerry Jones is the entire show – he calls himself owner, president, and general manager. The Patriots have Bill Belichick essentially running the whole football operations area despite not having the title, although it’s worked out okay for them so far (!). The Bengals, who are owned by the notoriously cheap Mike Brown, have Brown’s son, Paul, as Vice President of Player Personnel, and he may or may not actually be running all of football operations.
27 NFL franchises employ someone with the title of “General Manager”. The Eagles’ Howie Roseman holds the title “Executive Vice President, Football Operations”, which seems to essentially be the same thing with a different name. Of those 28 (including the Eagles), four of those general managers (Minnesota, Green Bay, Miami, Jacksonville) appear to report to someone beneath the team president, meaning that they do not necessarily have full authority over the roster and the rest of football operations. For the other 24 teams with a GM, that individual reports to the senior team executive and is most likely in charge of all things football.
As we all know, the Redskins only have Bruce Allen. Doug Williams is the Senior Vice President of Player Personnel, and Eric Shaffer holds the title of Senior Vice President of Football Operations/General Counsel. We’ll get to Williams below. On the surface, Schaffer’s title makes it appear he could be running the entire football side, but we understand Schaffer’s primary duty to be salary cap management. Also Williams appears to report to Allen, meaning that Schaffer is not in charge. In this respect, the Redskins are the only team in the league which has a non-owner family member who is the senior team executive (i.e., either team president or COO) who is also directly overseeing football operations.
Scouting Departments
All 32 teams have a separate scouting department in some capacity or another. For Redskins, the Redskins’ scouting department in years past was smaller than most but has increased in size. Only the Packers, Dolphins, and Steelers appear to have their general manager directly supervising the scouting department. Every other team, including the Redskins, have employed someone to directly supervise scouting. This person almost always has a title that includes the words “Player Personnel” – Vice President of Player Personnel, Director of Player Personnel, or in the case of the Redskins, Senior Vice President of Player Personnel. The Jaguars have a “Director of Professional Scouting”, which looks to be the same job.
Each scouting department has a pro scouting room and a college scouting room, with varying numbers of scouts in each. As it turns out, the Redskins now have a fairly robust scouting department. In tabulating the size of each team’s scouting operation, I counted every person who appeared to have a role in evaluating players, which includes the scouts, the supervisors, the random “personnel executives”, and the scouting assistants, but not the scouting coordinators, researchers, or administrative personnel. However, because this is something of an inexact science without knowing for sure the exact roles each team assigns to its employees, in particular the “personnel executives” and scouting coordinators, please take my numbers with an unscientific variance of +1 / -1.
As it turns out, the Cleveland Browns have the largest scouting department in the NFL, by far, with 26 supervisors, scouts, and scouting assistants (the Browns have far more scouting assistants than any other team). It’s likely that that this is the work of new Browns GM John Dorsey, who came aboard in 2017. The Lions are next with 20, and the Atlanta Falcons 3rd with 18. The Redskins have 16, as do the Patriots, Jaguars, and Colts, with the Buccaneers, Cardinals and Texans at 15. Bringing up the rear are the Bengals at 6 (because, of course – remember, owner Mike Brown is a cheapskate), Seahawks at 9, Broncos with 10, and Ravens, Jets, Chargers, Raiders, and Saints at 11. Fourteen other teams employ between 12 and 14. Allowing for my admitted variance in this calculation, the rough order of size of team scouting departments (again including supervisors, pure scouts, vaguely titled “personnel executives”, and scouting assistants, but not including scouting coordinators and administrative personnel) is:
Largest: Browns
Next largest: Lions, Falcons
Third largest: Redskins, 49ers, Patriots, Jaguars, Colts, Buccaneers, Cardinals, Texans
Middle: Eagles, Cowboys, Giants, Vikings, Packers, Bears, Panthers, Rams, Bills, Dolphins
Lower: Saints, Jets, Steelers, Ravens, Titans, Chiefs, Chargers, Raiders
Smallest: Seahawks, Broncos, Bengals
As you can see, the size of the respective scouting departments doesn’t necessarily coincide with a team’s performance. Certainly, these departments make change every year, but, for example, with the Lions and Colts near the top, and Steelers and Seahawks near the bottom, it’s apparent that quality beats quantity, at least to a point. That’s not exactly a stunning conclusion.
Other Redskins Issues
News broke last week that the Redskins will not renew the contract of longtime Senior Personnel Executive Scott Campbell (which incidentally will reduce the number in the Redskins scouting department from 16 to 15), and that team management thinks very highly of Director of College Personnel Kyle Smith. ESPN 980’s Chris Cooley speculated on air this week that the Redskins may promote Smith to the general manager position. While I don’t know whether Cooley has legitimate inside information or was just idly speculating, Smith as GM would be a critical step to drag the Redskins into a more typical management structure. Unless your name is Bill Belichick, it generally isn’t good when you team is the only team in the NFL doing things a certain way, in this case by having at least one less person in the operation. The fact that the Redskins are literally the only team in the entire NFL besides the Patriots that aren’t a family-run operation like the Cowboys and Bengals who have their team president supervising football operations is a negative, not a positive. A full 27 teams, 28 if you count the Eagles, have a GM, and at least 24 of those teams appear to let their GM run the whole shebang. It sounds reasonable for the Redskins to step up into the realm of the average NFL franchise, so I’m all for it, providing that Mr. Snyder and Bruce Allen would let Smith actually take charge and run the football operation as he sees fit. Whether those two gentlemen have that sort of ego-swallowing delegation in them is the million-dollar question that can’t answered. We’ll all just have to wait and see what happens.
[1] The information regard team leadership and the scouting department numbers were taken from the public websites and/or the 2017 media guides for each team. It’s possible that the websites are not up to date and that changes have been made subsequent to the publication of the media guides, but I can only use the information that’s available. Even if there are a few variances, the points made are valid.

A Tampa man who went berserk last July on a Seattle-to-Beijing flight, beating passengers and crew members with a wine bottle before being subdued, was sentenced Tuesday to two years in prison.
According to federal charges, Hudek — whose mother worked for the airline at the time but has since lost her job — was flying first class on a “dependent pass” aboard Delta Air Lines Flight 129 along with 209 other passengers and 11 crew members.
But on July 6, 2017, Hudek wanted to sleep on the overseas flight and ingested at least three, and maybe more, 10-gram marijuana candies before boarding the airliner, Flennaugh said. Hudek suffered delusions, hallucinations and “marijuana-induced psychosis,” he said.

Tiled countertops are the worst. Every now and then someone uses the right material and the right grout, but generally…tiled countertops are tacky as fuck.
I’d rather some cheap 1980s formica than tile.
a terrible idea all around.
I did my own tile. You need a good base. 3/4 birch plywood, then Hardie backer, I used big tiles (12×24, 6×24 backsplash), 1/8″ grout joints. Buy expensive grout, and seal it.
Tiled my mud room with 12×12 ceramics
Room is 8×12
Forearms were burning putting down the thinset
Yeah, you gotta rock ‘n roll, lol
Fuck around too much, that shit will try to kick in the bucket.
tile counter tops – the 70’s best choice
I considered it when I re-did my kitchen in the former town home. But it was going to be black 2’x2′ tile with black grout
but here’s the thing. once you’re laying out money for new appliances, cabinets (even if you put them together and install them yourself)… $3000 for some great looking stuff installed INCLUDING the new sink, hooking up the new disposal and plumbing… I mean… it is dang near a bargain. I’ve done tile before, but you can hide a few inconsistentcies on a tile bathroom floor with a rug, but a kitchen countertop, people are going to notice. even if the grout lines are few and pretty inconspicuous. they’re going to know when that apple rolls off the counter
They do sell levels…..
they do, but I always rush floor tile it seems
and I DID put the cabinets in level enough that they didn’t need much in terms of shims for the counter
ironically, if you’ve never put cabinets in before, I learned a lot talking to the counter top guy when he came out to do initial measurement. I put in some extra plywood base, this off-sets the floor depth and makes installing and replacing/repairing the dishwasher easy… because it also spans the plywood underlayment (decking) across joints, it also means the floor is beefier (well, I used like 3″ deck screws, which of course if far better than 1985 nails), and it adds 5/8″ or so height to the countertop. he also showed me how I could build a base to off-set wall cabinets we were going to use on the floor. we wanted to keep the kitchen eat-in while adding cabs and counter to a wall, so we put wall cabs on the floor, 3″ offset from the wall, 15.5″ countertop. other side, counter depth fridge. that’s almost an extra 14″ of space for a small breakfast table. the extra 3″ makes the countertop more useful to keep/use small appliances on. I would say the kitchen remodel I did was the best thing I’ve ever done, private or professional. I even leveled the floor with some scrap layers of plywood. we had a window box that was sagging, so when I put the new floor in, I went in 90 deg offset from the old floor and put in the very long shims. level, and solid as a rock. I also learned some hard lessons with staining the floor. lesson there is spend a few more bucks at lumber liquidators for finished wood.
I’ve always thought it funny that a slab of a mountain is sold as luxury.
What exactly is luxurious about something that can split your skull open?
used to be that brick was valued over stone as a building material. fancy houses were brick. you know – anybody can dig stones right out of the ground. you need fancy machines and production methods to make brick. we’ve of course come full circle to where brick is cheap and common and stone is desired.
Stone has always been cheaper, out here. If you’re willing to get it out of the river. Cut stone is high.
well, yes… stone used to be cheaper. and, i’m talking historically. 100, 200, 300+ years ago. are you suggesting that now, today, stone is cheaper than brick “out there”?
Yeah, me too. My rock is from the Tye River, it’s got speckles. Each local river has distinct rock. I can tell you where most of it is from by looking at it.

Squin charge him full price to get everything fixed
My family rents and we got screwed plenty
Thanks, you’re not the first to tell me that. He’s moving to Cali, officer in the military. Been a really good tenant otherwise. If he walks away from his security deposit, I’ll be ok with it.
Appreciate that he’s in the service but that’s got nothing to do with the property
Sucks but it is what it is
No, I hear ya.
Squinns: just keep the security deposit. Fighting with him isn’t going to either of you any good.
steve,
completely reasonable.
agreed
Mechanics lien against him and then you walk away
That’s not how a mechanics lien works. Squinns can’t lien up his own property. And he’ll spend $2,000 in the first 2 months trying to pursue him.
as I said below, not worth the emotional energy nor the money…
Agreed. Not worth it. Hope he understands he is getting a good deal by me just retaining my security deposit.
Maybe something different than granite when you replace the counter tops
manufactured quartz is prob a solid choice that’ll get the premium rent he’s looking for
Poured concrete is hot these days too
I would do that on a house I owned to get a premium cool look on the cheap, but it’s going to need maintenance, while quartz will need almost none; and something like corian could be refinished if necessary between tenants (but the house we have had it put in early 1990s… guessing… and it doesn’t need any refinishing. it’s just not as pretty. and we have been very disappointed in the molded sink. gotta go undermount stainless
Whole kitchen is granite. Would cost a lot to replace all of it. Plus kitchen would like right with less than granite countertops.
gotcha. you could get away with an island that was a bit different, but that’s not what it sounds like you’ve got
I’ve never done it, but I have contemplated using my electric power washer on the shower/tub and surround area, prob would need to leave the unit in the sink, and drag the hose in through a window. but it would be chemical free, and if it can take stains off of concrete, why not grout?
Does no one sell sun visors anymore? Do I really need to go to Amazon to get one?
Who loves ya, baby!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I’ve purchased many from the Nike factory store here in Myrtle Beach. Try Dicks Sporting goods too..or Lids
Oh snap. Good suggestion. Walmart and Target got nadda.
Walmart should have 50 different Deadpool and Marvel sunvisors.

When is this royal wedding going to happen? Tomorrow? Damn, the way the media is covering it you’d think it’s a life or death scenario.
As for me, I think little harry is p×××y whipped by the American woman and I bet the royals can’t be too much happy bout it. But with PC running amock, keeping opinions behind closed doors is the order of the day.
didn’t luke and laura already get married?
There’s a made for TV movie about it all too
she’s the most annoying character on suits, and you get the feeling she isn’t acting
I mean, bad enough that I nearly stopped watching the show during one of the seasons where she was in it a bit too much
Gina Torres left the show, I stopped watching.
Too damn formulaic anyway.

The worst is getting in a car and smashing your nuts when you sit
thank goodness most of us don’t speak bear
the profanity would embarrass a sailor
Tenant chips $1600 granite countertop (which I had just replaced a year ago because I had cracked it before I rented out the property and it got worse over the years). Chip is only about the size of a nickel but is right in the cutout for the kitchen sink. He also put it back in with epoxy without asking me first (in violation of the lease). I feel badly for the tenant, accidents happen, but dude, I just replaced it, and there’s no way to fix it now that will be seamless. You have to replace the whole piece. When I go to sell the property in a few years, I will have to replace the whole slab (at least $1,600), if not sooner if the chipped area gets worse.
People up here are pretty rational. What should I charge him? Reality is that no matter what, I’ll be out the $1,600 eventually.
What is his security deposit?
$2,000. Also trashed my walk in shower so badly that the drain pan has been stained from the mildew that he allowed grow on it. Replacing the drain pan will cost me at least $1,000 because tile has to be removed and reset to get the old one out. Also, the metal framework and glass door have been covered with mold and soap scum – the mold has gotten in the seams; that will likely need to be replaced to the tune of another $1,000.
Otherwise, the house is in pretty good shape.
I think overall, I’m letting him off easy, if I just retain his security deposit.
Yeah, fuck that guy. Dirty Tenant SchMenant, fuck that guy.
Man, I just feel bad. Military. Otherwise kept the house in pretty good shape. Helped me out a few times. But, man, its gonna cost me about $3,500 to fix that stuff, which is well be beyond just wear and tear.
Tell him it’s gonna cost you $4,000. Get a high estimate to show him. Remind him about what you do for a living. 🙂
LOL, BC. You confirmed that my offer seems pretty reasonable. Feel bad about chipping the counter. Said a pan just fell. Woould have to fall pretty darn hard and at the right angle to chip granite. I’ve live with granite counters for over 12 years and never chipped one (crack I caused was because I repairing something in the kitchen standing on the counters and wife slammed door, startling me and causing me to step in under counter mount sink, causing the granite to crack from the pressure).
Just remember, everyone is 21. You have a family to support, stuff costs money, he broke it.
Not worth the aggravation if he doesn’t pay. Keep deposit and wash your hands of it..
That’s the end game, yeah. What we were talking about. Squinns is also concerned about how they part ways.
yes, of course, since the guys in the Military, they can and will garnish his wages if found he owes for damages. Depends again on how much Squinns wants to spend on this effort..emotionally and $
No, not going to push above security deposit. Not worth the effort. I think I’m being generous settling for just the security deposit; he’s still going to think he’s getting a raw deal.
That’s a life lesson he seems to need.
I know its business. Just like the guy. Tenant is super smart, but kinda clueless sometimes on these kind of issues. He’s going to be surprised that he’s responsible for this stuff. I wouldn’t be, but he will be. He even asked if he left the rental property in the last month, would I prorate the rent. I’m like, nice try, but no. New tenants don’t move in until mid June.
Yeah, you do you, if that includes parting ways on good terms with the guy, sell him the “getting off easy” story (it’s not a lie), if that’s not critical path, cover everything out of security and last month’s rent.
probably the outcome
if you’re cooking safe and healthy, it’s gotta be cast iron
I have a 13.5″ cast iron skillet… skillet isn’t the right word, you can stir fry 3 lbs of meat with a couple of pounds of vegetables in all at once, and I need two hands to lift it to the sink. a 8-9″ cast skillet or a 6″ griddle could def chip granite if it was hot and you’re about to clean it. always always clean the cast iron while it’s hot. it is believeable, as I’ve done it several times on our counter, though it is corian so it doesn’t chip. though, it def isn’t as pretty. I think though the move is durable cabs, durable counter, durable floor and maybe fake an upgrade through the backsplash and lighting. that’s 2.5 cents you prob don’t need
And, thanks, BC.
the mold bit seems like normal wear and tear; but I’ve forgotten all that bit about rentals, stickler for clean… eventhough a big op will have a contract cleaner go through the entire place for like $100
if I were him, I’d measure the cfm of the bathroom fan and likely then be able to claim it was inadequate
and then counter sue for being triggered… asthma or something
also, you could put in some Ikea wood countertop and have a green kitchen.
problem is, the sink is involved, otherwise that’d be much cheaper, but not very durable; we have corrian right now, and what happens to it can be buffed out between tenants, though I would not do a corian sink. SS, undermount.
Haven’t been up here much lately. Been super swamped at work and turning over a rental property in MD (while I live in north Jersey). Anything exciting going on?
Nope!
rare, medium-rare, medium, ruined, inedible.
yep
this all occurred to me while contemplating the NWS ridiculous “convective outlook” scale. they use all these cryptic terms to describe the level of “threat” of convective (t-storms through tornadoes) weather.
the terms are, in random order:
enhanced
slight
high
marginal
moderate
can you put those in order of least to most threat?
being plugged in to the weather community, i know the order. but can a “regular person”, a layman, a person for whom those outlooks are presumably intended, put those in the proper order? do you think “enhanced” is more or less of a threat than slight, marginal or moderate?
Slight
Marginal
Moderate
Enhanced
High
Maybe switch high and enhanced.
perfectly reasonable, but sadly, wrong in both cases. it’s a ridiculous system.
other guesses?
Marginal
Slight
Moderate
High
Enhanced
hahahahaa…. no…. further proving my point. it’s an idiotic scale. unless you memorize the order, it makes no sense.
Fuck it, then.
Our weatherman always leaves himself a cushion anyway, “expect anywhere between .5 and 3.5 inches of rain, depending…”
marginal
slight
enhanced
moderate
high
it’s ridiculous. i mean, aren’t they ALL enhanced? or we’d not be discussing a threat. and, “moderate” is not the middle level?? why is “slight” more than “marginal”?
***steps down off soap-box***
McPhee is going to help us more than I think some people realize
Same goes for Perine
He’s good for about 4 sacks and 20 tackles. Meh.
he’s going to be setting the edge other guys will make the plays but you need players like him Stout against the Run make the running back turn in
Yeah, he’s pretty good against the run. Better than Galette, not as good as Murphy.
But they’ll come on here, after the fact, harping like bitches.

President Xi of China, and I, are working together to give massive Chinese phone company, ZTE, a way to get back into business, fast. Too many jobs in China lost. Commerce Department has been instructed to get it done!
—————
I really tried not to say anything, but this is fucked up on so many levels.
1. After spending three years accusing China of stealing US jobs, now he’s working to save jobs in China?
2. The reason ZTE was punished is that it violated U.S. sanctions against the sale of U.S. tech to Iran, North Korea, Syria and others. And while Trump is looking to excuse this Chinese company for violating these sanctions he is threatening our close allies in the UK, France, and Germany with punishment if THEY violate U.S. sanctions against Iran! And of course those countries are only doing business with Iran because they joined in the nuclear deal that WE spearheaded!
3. Finally, Trump’s impassioned plea to save Chinese jobs came less than 72 hours after China agreed to invest $500 million in an Indonesian theme park featuring — you guessed it — Trump hotels and a Trump golf course!

If you don’t care about the President of the US using his office for personal financial gain…well, fuck it. I guess there’s nothing left to give a shit about until the shit is at our doors.

They all become more wealthy while in and after their time in office. Look no further than the Clintons.
MWGA!

Yes it is
You fucking suck
Need a goal here
We’re at home with a 2 – 0 series lead. Lets suck balls.
Man… those Caps fucking suck huh?
Need to put a goon on #27, fuck his ass up
Jeez…..three on one and no score
Wow…….some som actually passed the fucking puck, who knew….. amazing
My God
Caps finally get one
LeBron James out of the game… took a shoulder full on full speed to the face. Perfect technique on the tackle
…and he’s back.
3-0 Tampa Bay
Shitting

What up with the Caps? Pooping the sack at home? Beginning of the end?
🙁

it’s going crazy.
Hope the fans took boats to the MCI Center, because they are going to need them to get home
I mean, Cap Center, I mean… Verizon Center… Chevy Chase Castle? Capital One?
this blog story summarized is Whoever has been in charge of our favorite team of the last 20-plus years has sucked.
Clean out your garage already
I’m so glad your Not My Neighbour. Anal retentive OCD neighbors are the worst!
…especially when they’re high all the time. How can you be OCD and lazy at the same time? Well… there you go
How can you talk with your foot in your mouth while your head is wayyyyyyyy up your ass?
You’re the expert… you tell us
Only thing I’m expert at is watching you pull off some serious calisthenics. I mean damn.
I guess that’s better than being a twinkie filled dirty hippie sitting on your seed burned couch from 1972
Oh please! My couch is from the 90s.
Pretty sure.

No they’re not.
Sloppy assed shit all over the place neighbors are.
C’mon 8
Caps puck handling….smh
Tampa’s rotating zone offense….need to keep getting physical
Shit
Better tighten up
For fuck’s sake 8!
Ok, score
#25 might get thumped
Caps have no respect for Tampa’s Defense……or, Tampa has no Defense.
FYI…steady 15 second delay
Which could really be as many as 18 or as few as 13.

Had a ferret at one time. It befriended me at a play ground. Brung it home. Parents said I could keep. Wasn’t but a week before dad made me surrender it. Cute, but stinked up my room worse than my dirty socks.
Foul beasts.
NBA draft tonight at the same time as an easter conference final? Reason number 761 NFL is king. Could you imagine the NFL draft during halftime of some game now a days?
lottery that is…
Nasty storm on the way. Reports of golf ball to baseball sized hail. Hatches battened down. Glad I dumped DirecTv for cable today.
Directv has me over a barrel. Sunday ticket.
Aye. Same here. Bastards.
But what’s to do in Albuquerque? I’ve got some time coming up, looking around for a westward round trip.
can’t you get the Sunday ticket over internet now?
Great NM food. Local brews. Old town. Hot air balloon in the fall.
It’s an alright city.
Turquoise and silver, for the Mrs.
Definitely can be found in Old Town. Native merchants selling their crafts for a not-so-cheap bargain.
Love Old Town. High Noon and Seasons(?) restaurants.
Damn right. Except for the auto theft and home invasions. What’s up with that?
It’s well worth it. Sandia Peak. Acoma Pueblo. Great scenery.
That’s what I’m looking for. Nature. Including weed.
That’s what the Sports bar is for. What was the name of that place?
Sunday Ticket costs less than a bar. A lot less. But…a bar has fellow fans. So there’s that.
Cover the weed.
We don’t have a “wired” cable option

Thank you Qatar, and where would you like that drone strike?
I want a pet that smells like piss, that takes my truck keys and hides them in the bottom of my sofa, or in a fucking wall, yaaaaaay! Fuck that.
Ferrets are nasty, stinking, mischievous little beasts. Fuck that.

I don’t know if that’s beer or not, but if women stop and want to pet the ferret. Well.
..or it’s pee.Women love to stop and pee for ferrets?
Ummm….you’re on your own there man. Chick-pee ain’t my thing.

A man from Illinois was arrested for getting $224,000 worth of manure dumped on his former employer’s property, only two weeks after he won $125 million at the lottery and quit his job.

Love the mug shot. Dude can’t stop laughing.
That’s a shit ton of shit… and super funny
When asked by organizers what he would do with the money, he had simply answered: “Just read the news, you’ll see“.
HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
In a related case,the state has charged the man a 125 mil. as a clean up fee…
the problem is, now he has deep pockets
you’re just asking to lose millions
and that’s JUST to the lawyers
Cool story

Speaking of drugs, some recent research suggests that some of the psychedelics popular in the 60s – 80s can be effective for treating depression. Don’t leave the house in the morning before eating your Special-K!
Just don’t take the brown acid. The brown acid is bad.
No way… the brown acid was an ass kicker
It’s a Woodstock thing.
Fucking dirty hippies
If a person is too young for woodstock,but is too old for matchboxes and hotwheeles, but loves bell bottoms rock-n-roll and weed, is that person a dirty hippie?
I vote yes
Doh ! (in my best homer voice)
Micro-dosing…it’s a thing
Microdots
meh, prob some hormone boosters, custom for the problem, would do it as well
they’re pretty sure they can assist PTSD rehab that way now
We’re definitely sure it can be assisted through chemicals.
a big factor is an imbalance of 4 major hormones
and a lot of the time, it’s not the point guys who suffer the most, it is the guys who are waiting for something to happen a lot of the time… so if you’re going to go to war and you don’t want PTSD, you want to be in the crew that’s on the hunt, not the one potentially being hunted. in theory.
Check here in a bit for the Caps

The Caps are playing their Kuznutsov.
@steve, BTW, I do respect your opinion despite what Btg would have you believe.I should not have told you to stick it. I will refrain from posting about it as it is “your site” and I respect that.You gave me some good advice on my settlement offer and I respected your opinion enough to use your advise.T/Y.
BTW, STFU baldy (btg) !
Ooooooo!
Bwahahaha
I’ve never known someone that tokes who is bald.
I gave you advice on a settlement? I have zero recollection of that, but I’m glad it worked out.
I have no issues with you, C. Dub.
Yankees at the Nationals tonight at 7pm.
That is all.
Take that shit over to the Nats blog
I’ll take it over to your mother’s house, wimp.
You’re the biggest wuss on this blog. See action shot below.
You would shit your off-brand pants if I took 3 purposeful steps in your direction.
You would pee you salmon-colored capri pants if I looked in your direction.
You even type like a pussy.
Come on Austin… you wouldn’t scare anyone. We’ve seen your picture bud. I’m sure you’re a great guy… but in no way scary
Molly , ecstasy, pain pills , xanax , heroin , and several names i have never heard of are the easily accessible street drugs in every community . It’s scary if you are a parent . If you aren’t a parent , you probably aren’t thinking about it ten times a day or laying awake at night trying to figure out the best path to take . Again , common sense . You worry weed will lead to the next thing .
fentanyl
adderal, ritalin , the list goes on
Those are prescription…
I know . You will find out when your son gets older , they are everywhere . Kids give them out to each other . I hope you don’t find out actually .
Um… you really think I have to wait until my son get’s older? You do understand that I have done every single one of those… not a single one of those are new.
Yes. They start early now .
Yea… I started at 13
Thats about the age it seems now. They all have prescriptions and their parents are dumbasses
People don’t like to hear this but booze and weed were gateway drugs for me. As soon as I tried weed I realized all adults were lying to me about drugs and I was off to the races.
That was my original point . It is for most kids .
I will typically only speak of personal experience. I can’t pretend to know how things affect other people… although I suspect I am, in no way, original.
It’s safe to say that, for some, marijuana is a gateway drug – that’s been established ad naseum – whereas others are able to handle it.
I was able to handle weed just fine…
…and coke, meth, ex, xanny’s, v cuts, opium, shrooms, acid, etc. etc.
The booze is what I couldn’t handle
…and the feds couldn’t handle me handling large amounts of ex
no sense of humor huh ?
Fuckers didn’t realize I was just making people happy
…and strippers naked
Federal judges are generally pretty humorless.
It wasn’t the judges… it was the DEA
…although the judge wasn’t exactly a laugh riot either… and the prosecutor
Federal prosecutors are nothing more than sleazy politicians once they get past a certain point.
No argument there…
What’s odd is that federal judges usually aren’t, because they’ve already made it to the lifetime appointment and don’t have to get elected. It’s the state judges who are the backstabbing politicians. They always talk about how to get a federal appointment.
The federal judge in my case was actually more than fair. The cops and prosecutor were telling lies to get me more time. I owned up to the drug charge and he threw out their other bullshit charges and just whacked me for the Ex… didn’t have to do me that fair. Coulda knocked my head off
That’s the net effect of not having to run for re-election. I’m strongly against elected judges at the state level.
I suspect their humor level is pretty low as well.
I tell you what… if they had come to a couple of my parties they would have lightened up
Candy corns, Mike & Ike’s, Junior Mints, Milk Duds, Gummy Worms, Bottlecaps, Raisenettes, Goobers, and more are all available in every neighborhood theater.
– LeRib
Upper, downers, flippers, slappers, wangdoodlers
I am captain wangdoodler.

That stuff wasn’t around when most of us were kids
No, but cocaine, dilaudid, shrooms, LSD, heroin, speed, valium, etc., etc.
Quaaludes
Yes , all that was around back then , but it wasnt in the schools and so readily available . heroin is everywhere . Easier to get than tobacco . You wouldn’t know these things by reading a study .
Texas is going after big pharma on the opiod issue. Should be interesting.
Lotta states are suing opiod manufacturers
Go after the entire distribution chain. And nail China for dumping fentanyl on the open markets.
…and carfentanyl
secure the border
This shit comes through ports of entry. Up customs.
Comes through both . We’ve had this conversation before . Pretending the cartels don’t cross back and forth and operate in the states doesnt make it so .
Oh yeah, I forgot. A big fucking wall will stop everything cold. lol
Did i say that ? I don’t believe i did . However it is better plan than saying it doesnt happen and people should just be able to come and go as they please . Not much funny about it , unless you are one of those people and you are .
deep pockets. raw meat to a lawyer
D_C’s ferrets are addicts , He understands .
He suitcases those bitches… just like Richard Gere
Don’t worry about weed. BY the time that shit gets passed their way, they’ve already been raiding the medicine cabinet.
Weed, just is not the problem anyone wants it to be.
And that gateway stuff….mannnnnnnnnnn. Look, people are going to try shit out until they get to the one that does it for them.
I’m worried that my oldest kid, when he’s about 12 will get expelled from school for getting the teacher pregnant.
drugs are easy to fix. get to the chores, boy!
The cell phones get them caught every time and the teacher’s are much hotter now .
TWill lookin’ lean!

Legalization of marijuana will come down to dollars
when someone bribes uh contributes enough money to politicians
marijuana will magically be all good and available
tax collections will go up and people will be stoned legally
Everything comes down to dollars, you know this.

Marijuana and the ‘Gateway Theory’
Experts agree that the use of marijuana is not causally linked to the use of other illicit substances
“There is compelling and enduring evidence that marijuana is not a gateway drug, … Yet, non-evidence-based political factors on both the left and the right remain the reason for the persistence of the gateway myth.”
The Benjamin Center for Public Policy Initiatives at SUNY New Paltz University, The Marijuana Gateway Fallacy, 2017
Well that has to be just plain false. Everyone who has never smoked pot would take issue with this.
If you haven’t raised ferrets you wouldn’t understand.
we don’t need planes with pilots anyone either
marijuana and alcohol are exactly the same level of gateway drug
people who seek to escape their problems will escalate their level of drug use to what brings them the best relief
Then they’re gonna do it anyway, whether it’s smoking weed, or huffing glue. It’s a people problem, not a marijuana problem.
and the Chinese are as much behind the opioid crisis as American drug companies
just to be fair you can google studies that say the opposite .
Despite several attempts by the media and policy makers to associate the rising number of state regulated medical marijuana programs (and popular legalization efforts) with a rise in use and a drop in associated risk, the 2012 Monitoring the Future Survey reports that there was no rise in daily or annual marijuana use among teens. According to the report, “annual marijuana use [among 8th, 10th and 12th graders] showed no further increase in any of the three grades surveyed in 2012… [And the] daily use of marijuana…remained essentially flat.” Also of note, despite the sharp decline in perceived risk of marijuana use across all three grades, there was a statistically significant decline of use among 8th graders. These numbers are consistent with other recent studies showing that states with regulated marijuana programs have not seen an increase in teen use. Some have even seen a decrease in pot use among their youth population.
“This study suggests that exposure among teens to the concept of marijuana regulation policies (one third of whom live in such states) does not cause an increase in use. It is also important to consider that a drop in perceived risk is likely associated with their rejection of the overzealous scare tactics used in most schools’ drug education programs” said Sabrina Fendrick, Director of Women’s Outreach.

My favorite fansite – TWill
Scientific data is growing nearly by the day in support of the notion that legalized cannabis can mitigate opioid use and abuse.
For instance, among states where medical cannabis access is permitted, patients routinely lessen their opioid intake. According to data published this week by the Minnesota Department of Health, among those patients known to be taking opiate painkillers upon their enrollment into the program, 63 percent “were able to reduce or eliminate opioid usage after six months.”
Minnesota’s findings are hardly unique. In 2016 there was data gathered from patients enrolled in Michigan’s cannabis access program reported that marijuana treatment “was associated with a 64 percent decrease in opioid use, decreased number and side effects of medications, and an improved quality of life.”
A review of state-registered patients from various northeastern states yielded similar results, finding, 77 percent of respondents acknowledged having reduced their use of opioids following cannabis therapy.
A significant percentage of respondents also reported decreasing their consumption of anti-anxiety medications (72 percent), migraine-related medications (67 percent), sleep aids (65 percent), and antidepressants (38 percent).
A 2017 assessment of medical cannabis patients in Illinois revealed that participants in the state-run program frequently reported using marijuana “as an alternative to other medications — most commonly opioids, but also anticonvulsants, anti-inflammatories, and over-the-counter analgesics.”
New Mexico patient data reports: Compared to non-users, medical cannabis enrollees “were more likely either to reduce daily opioid prescription dosages between the beginning and end of the sample period (83.8 percent versus 44.8 percent) or to cease filling opioid prescriptions altogether (40.5 percent versus 3.4 percent).”
Two just-published clinical trials from Israel — where medical cannabis use is legally permitted — further affirm this phenomenon. In the first study, which assessed cannabis use among the elderly, investigators reported that over 18 percent of the study’s participants “stopped using opioid analgesics or reduced their dose” over a six-month period.
They concluded, “Cannabis can decrease the use of other prescription medicines, including opioids.” In the second trial, which assessed the safety and efficacy of cannabis in a cohort of over 1,200 cancer patients, scientists reported that nearly half of respondents reported either decreasing or eliminating their use of opioids during the treatment period
The data is consistent and clear. For many patients, cannabis offers a viable alternative to opioids. It is time for the administration to stop placing political ideology above the health and safety of the American public, and to acknowledge the well-established efficacy of medical marijuana in the treatment of chronic pain.

I know D_C gave ya’ll plenty of information but like everything he says , there is always the other side .

Like i was saying , it can start a kid off to more dangerous drugs . Hard if you are parent to know everything your kid is doing at all times . There are tons of good parents who have lost their kids starting with weed use .
same thing with alcohol .
I don’t dispute that it can happen. At the same time, I smoked a ton of pot when I was a kid, as did almost all of my friends, and AFAIK none of us ever turned into a drug addict.
There will always be kids who want to experiment with drugs and get to the point where they can’t control it.
They didnt have near the drugs accessible then , that they do now . You have no clue how easy it is for today’s youth to get hard drugs . All kinds of shit . You don’t know because you don’t have any .
I’ve never been to the moon, but I know what it looks like.
Great analogy . Good stuff.
Thanks.
So you take weed out of the dealer, and State-licensed facilities cultivate and sell the weed. Now you’ve taken the dealer out of play, along with everything else he’s selling.
…and thank God for that.
D_C knows all about it even though he contradicted himself on it . Just ask him .
Why would anyone ask that raving idiot anything?
Why even talk to that moron?
It never happened to you or your friends , so it must not be true . The irony of that from the king of stats and links . The very liberal NY times is wrong because it never happened to you .
And you’re saying the flip side is that it happened to your kid so it must be some kind of universal truth that I can’t tap into.
It didnt happen to my kid . You don’t know shit except a study you read .
But you do, because you raised kids. I get it. It is IMPOSSIBLE to understand that drugs are accessible if you don’t have children.
according to you and your life it never happens. Your words .
also according to you it doesnt happen because of the studies you linked . Now you are pretending you understand that it does happen even though you don’t have kids . Make up your mind
And no matter WHAT he says, the alternative is more sensible by default.

To be fair, GS won a championship without KD, and unlike Cleveland, Boston, and Miami, they did it almost entirely with home-grown talent.
True. And I believe Cleveland beats Golden State the first time if Love and Irving are healthy! At least that was competitive. What we’re seeing now is not competitive!
CP3 was a trade, whereas KD to Golden State was a free agent signing. I’m not sure there’d have been anything Stern could’ve done to stop it.

I think most people that are against marijuana being legal, are against it for religious reasons.
…but there are religions that swear by it.
Is there something in the Bible about weed?
Something about desecrating your body…and/or obeying authority.
Obeying authority? That’s interesting, given that Christianity itself was a huge thumb in the eye of then-existing authority.
Yeah, operate under the radar got translated to “obey the Pope”
marijuana is not mentioned in the bible. as far as corinthians goes (body is a temple, defiling it, etc…), if you’re taking that seriously, then be mormon.

There are negative side effects to smoking pot as well. personally , i don’t care who smokes it . I don’t think it sends a good message to our nations youth and i believe it serves as a gateway drug for them as well .
cancer sufferers , by all means , smoke away .
It’s actually the cannabis oil that many people afflicted with cancer find helpful as well as smoking it
To each his own.
dude , i have smoked plenty of weed in my life . There are negative consequences that can go with it . If you are a young person , that can hurt you .
I think there’s good evidence that pot is more of an anti-gateway drug these days, in the sense that people will use it instead of much more dangerous drugs, like opioids.

“Multiple studies have shown that pro-medical marijuana states have reported fewer opiate deaths and there are no deaths related to marijuana overdose on record.(http://reut.rs/2r74Sbe)z”
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/high-hopes-ride-on-marijuana-amid-opioid-crisis/
There’s more to legal weed than just, like, getting baked, dude. Two papers published this week suggest access to legal marijuana could play a beneficial role in the current US opioid crisis.
The new research suggests that in states with legalized weed – whether recreational or medical – the number of opioid prescriptions and the daily dose of opioids have gone way down.
One of the studies found that Medicare filled 14 percent fewer prescriptions for opioids after medical marijuana laws were passed.
The other study revealed people with Medicaid filled nearly 40 fewer opioid prescriptions per 1,000 people each year after their state passed any law making cannabis accessible.
Everything . You don’t know but you think you do .
Because anecdotal evidence is the best kind….
Two! No….Three!….. fuck, I can’t remember
There is evidence to believe anything you want to and then there’s common sense .
PTSD is a real thing. Many military men suffer from this. Weed helps. Ask one of the men who use it for that and you will see the benefit from it.
no argument from me .
Thousands of the same chemicals found in regular tobacco are also found in marijuana, and although, from what I’ve read, studies trying to link cancer and marijuana smoke have achieved inconsistent results, there’ve also been a lack of bigger studies on the topic, for obvious reasons. I’ve read that what is conclusive is that the lungs of marijuana smokers are damaged in the same fashion as the lungs of tobacco smokers. I’d say the cancer question is scientifically inconclusive.
Not one iota…

that’s why if you’re going to fight the drug war you have to go after the demand side hard
and that’s actually easier and less violent than you think, because people who have purpose in life (at least, according to mouse studies) will eschew drugs even after they’re addicted to them. so you need to give those with value meaningful jobs, OR euthanize the obsolete. Or both. whatevs.

Saw mention of card counting below. I agree with the notion of how da fuq does someone get caught counting cards? I mean if scientists have developed programs that can determine sexual preference based on face appearance, why the hell can’t they develop algorithms determining whether or not a person is calculating in their head? Or maybe its just the fact that the person counting the cards keeps winning?
Card counting, that’s bad.

You love problems that politicians create themselves
No growth development policy
housing demand outstrips supply
housing cost increases creates new waves of homeless
so let’s tax businesses more to fix the problem
rent and price controls tend to make these problems worse in an attempt to speed up the natural development speed
I say we experiment and put caps on housing prices.
Bonus…that also limits the amount of property tax states and cities hose residents for.
That’s contrary to the free market system.
Send all of the homeless people to Houston. Place is a shithole anyway. Problem solved.
Free markets require support services to function indefinitely. AKA…taxation.
There’s no problem that can’t be solved.
So are prohibitions on cannabis.
BOOM
So are tariffs and closed borders.
Let’s fix our own fucking country, K?
Doesn’t work that way, unfortunately.
Closed borders? Just stop. Controlled borders…..fixed it.

I think everyone here knows who and what you are, DC.
And again. Ad hominem, ad nauseum.
Federal prohibitions, perhaps, except that the federal government has determined that that drug and the others are too harmful for legalization, and they do it under the commerce clause.
I’d be happier if all 50 states did the right thing and criminalized it, which I’ve always said, but at least it is one way or the other.
https://media.giphy.com/media/qmfpjpAT2fJRK/200.gif

What…the fact that you rail against federal laws you don’t like but are quick to fall back on the one’s you favor?
No. That heavy of an eyeroll does not make me feel clever. But it does ache.

Did a ‘liberal’ burn your toast this morning or something?
It seems pretty clear to me – left-leaning govt policies are designed to punish those things. Why?
Kind of seems just the opposite to me. For example: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-s-visa-changes-are-clawing-famous-crab-town-they-n874041
Supporting your nation and fellow citizen seems like a punishment?
Well then how the hell do we fund the military? And infrastructure? And education? And all the other tax payer funded resources you’ve enjoyed in the course of your life?
Come on now. Society takes money.
Which would be a lot easier to come by if the right stopped letting the wealthy for life horde the hell out of the economy.
No. The liberal gave that toast to someone they deemed more deserving and left him with the bill for it.
Well that’s just stealing. Don’t fuck with a man’s toast.

To be clear, I’m retired from the military now, so I have no official knowledge of anything good or bad anymore, but alot of things happen that the public has no idea about that I either saw firsthand or talked with the people involved.
I’m sure, but a lot of things also got fucked up because of politics.
Absolutely. The less politicians involved in stuff like that, the better.
Give them clearance, give them funding, expect results.
Yeah, they estimate that somewhere between 1/4 and 1/3 of all homeless suffer from serious mental illness. Old Ronnie Reagan has a lot to do with the problem.

It’s only a matter of time for that league.
I think they will get started up successfully, they have their ducks in a row far better than some of the others I’ve followed over the years. If it lasts several seasons remains to be seen. But I am getting a good sense for what cities they want to play in, (staying in the south). The coaches they have announced and are using for this year are impressive.
they need a good rivalry set
staying in the South negates the natural South – North rivalry that could be gained if conferences/divisions were set up that way, and then natural within; and there’s always a problem with balancing large markets with markets that would actually care.

Quick…somebody fact check this…
well…. first thing is you have to factor in the size of the city.
It’s about right, though DC just came out the other day saying they were under 7,000 now.
i’m not questioning the absolute numbers. it’s just that if a city is 10 times larger than another city, you would “expect” 10 times more homeless, all other factors being equal.
Until I started looking it up, I would have told you SF is worse than Seattle.
Guess it’s where you are. In SF, we were tripping over people. Seattle…saw one tent off the highway.
when you look at income vs cost of living
Seattle had jump into the top 3 worst in the US
it’s lime Manhattan, SF, Seattle
and Seattle has not had the time to deal with the problem like SF

Those beautiful trees get plenty of fertilizer I am sure.
See, that’s not bothering anybody up there. Out of sight, out of mind.
Keep posting, lol, this is solid gold!
Pfft
A couple of tents here and there ain’t all that
Some of our cities have entire homeless districts
You don’t say?
What are we even talking about here?
You donate. I donate.
I’m talking about the hypocrisy of the entitled left. I’m talking about how hippy communes only work in small groups. I’m talking about how we’re seeing the fail. I’m talking about the bums in Seattle chasing the Mexican Dragon, or bangin’ smack in the main line. I’m talking about dirty reality.
Ehh. Rich people got their bubbles. Don’t matter which side of the political spectrum they claim to support.
They got theirs and fuck you. It’s how they roll.
Yeah, sure. But I think I know you well enough to expect you to understand that if someone is willing to take the fight to the cartels, it doesn’t matter what fucking color cape he’s wearing…… let’s get it on.
These peeps are fucking wasting away. If you talk the talk, walk the walk.
I remember handing out Bible tracks and buckets of chicken to the homeless in Washington DC, as a young child, coats, socks….evil Christians!
That experience has carried with me my entire life, to this day. I’m not gonna brag about what I do, I just do what I feel when the opportunity presents itself.
18.9 million vacant homes across the country
18,900,001.
– RG3
Seems to me that what we could do is figure out what properties are totally abandon, eminent domain them and have some instant homeless shelter type situations.
problem is vacant homes not where the homeless people are
That’s why god invented busing.
“Form a Brute Squad!”
they darn near give away homes in some places
but the key is you have to HAVE money… for taxes and upkeep
you give it to a homeless, and it’s going to be a drug den than burns down and kills half a dozen people. I’ve seen it a hundred times.
YOU get a house and YOU get a house and YOU get a house!!!!!
And all the people who work for a living are going to pay for them!!!!!!!
I would rather see job placement programs that enable a person who wants to better them self have that opportunity to work for the American dream as opposed to having it handed to them at my expense.
I guess I am a racist now.
I didn’t say they get a house, I’m saying it’s a homeless shelter. And clearly you need to give them job training. Training while they are homeless isn’t as effective.
Having talked with some people who work in the area, one of the most valuable assets to getting out of that homelessness cycle, having a mailing address and getting the right kinds of ID that helps you prove you can work in the states.
You mean the stuff you and me do on our own?
Got it.
Yes, but you and I may not have the mental health issues they do, causing them to lose their way. May not have been kicked out of our homes as kids like many of them were.
Mental health facilities have roofs.
they’re going to Seattle because they generally like the weather and like the weed hippie culture; and don’t mind living in a communal tent community
if you’re in you’re 20’s or 30’s and have some PTSD and other issues, living like that with a fatty every afternoon probably is a whole lot better than how you were living (isolated)
I agree with this.
Just because a property looks abandoned doesn’t mean that the owner doesn’t intend to do something with the property.
The government shouldn’t just go around and force everyone to sell. That should be reserved only for when it’s strictly necessasry.
No, you have to do the leg work and figure out what’s really abandon and what isn’t.
The government will never know that, and, anyway, letting the government gobble up tons of private land is un-American, if you ask me.
Unless it’s to build a wall?
The government easily knows that, census, property taxes. The information is right there for them at the federal state and local levels.
No, they don’t. The government has no idea what plans land owners may have for their property.
I find it hard to believe Atlanta is not on that list. it’s really creepy there at night, downtown (but it’s been awhile)
A comparison per capita and per land area would be much more useful than just listing the numbers.
from a McKinsey study on the problem in Seattle
In King County, we estimate it would cost between $360 million and $410 million a year to tackle current levels of homelessness—that’s twice today’s spending. Action would be needed on three fronts: preventing more people from becoming homeless in the first place, assisting the homeless to find accommodation, and most important, providing more affordable housing. Investments in affordable housing account for about 85 percent of the extra funding required. Housing subsidies—payable to landlords to make unaffordable accommodation affordable—may be the most effective investment, as they quickly boost the supply of cheap housing.
That much a year for how many years? Every year? That’s crazy.
Who the hell did the math on that. D_C?
the homeless population is increasing something like 10% per year
housing supply is not keeping up with demand, so prices are skyrocketing
it takes forever to get building stuff approved out there

Durant could. I’m not sure about Curry. I think he’d get bullied in earlier eras
—————————————–
Isiah Thomas, John Stockton, and Allen Iverson all thrived in “earlier eras” and are smaller than Curry. Steve Nash is about the same size, though much less quick, and thrived.
Curry’s game doesn’t depend on penetration either, so I don’t see why he wouldn’t be just as effective or more so in an earlier era.
You just named 3 of the toughest back-court players ever.
Curry is a 2 time MVP…and also the greatest shooter the league has ever seen! He could play in any era.
Curry sucks butt.
And nah. In the 80s and 90s, when basketball was for real, he’d be a bench riding nobody.
Get off your lawn?
Wasn’t Seattle like the first city to implement a $15 minimum wage a few years back?

“City of Seattle revenues have grown dramatically from $2.8B in 2010 to $4.2B in 2017, and they will be even higher in 2018. This revenue increase far outpaces the Seattle population increase over the same time period. The city does not have a revenue problem – it has a spending efficiency problem. We are highly uncertain whether the city council’s anti-business positions or its spending inefficiency will change for the better.”

Amazon’s retort
Amazon should be looking to move the company to a business friendly state and let Seattle turn further into a sewer
Wait until they open up H2 in VA in a couple of years
I still think Dallas is where H2 needs to go.

It will. No where else will offer the abundance of give-a-ways that Texas and Irving will.
the tech base in Dallas is several hundred thousand jobs fewer (read: smaller labor pool) than it is in the DMV, which is only exceeded by NY and LA
For a sewer, that’s one shiny city. Great coffee. Food. Cannabis. Arts. Sports. Oh, and seaplanes! Which are just as cool as cool gets.
Just pretend the homeless don’t exist……..slurp that latte!
Not so bad really. They’re not out and about. Go to San Francisco. Now there’s a homeless problem.
San Francisco and Seattle both only have themselves to blame for their homeless problem.
I think homeowners should take a dump next to sleeping homeless people.
Meh….. So much for liberals caring……
Liberals only pretend to care, mostly. And god help you if you disagree with them – that caring and understanding goes right out the window.
Did you not see my “those were the days” meme?
You, sir, are a deplorable human being for disagreeing with me!
— Liberalace
Liberals, politicians…can only do so much. Housing there is stupid expensive. That’s the market. Not the local government.
*eyeroll*
Yea. Roll your eyeballs.
Imagine the shit-storm if ‘liberals’ put a cap on house prices.
Go on. Imagine it.
Hippo-critters………dat wat de is, hippo-critters
that is a problem that one would think would take care of itself
and most homelessness (not all) is related to what is subjectively mental illness (Malcolm Gladwell talks about that in one of his books)
seaplanes are very noisy
except for those sidewalks littered with human shit .
Not that I saw.
Outside of the city things are, a bit run down. Maybe there’s something happening there. I don’t know. But within the city…it’s nice.
There were all sorts of people, maybe some vagrants hanging around that Pike Place spot, but there’s just so many people about, don’t much notice anyone as straight up homeless.
400 homeless encampments according to article below .
Yea. Maybe outside the city. I’m saying….go the fuck downtown. It’s nice there.
Starbucks and Peet’s both have a privacy fence. Well…… Starbucks has a fence, Peet’s has really tall field corn.
There are huge, ugly, dilapidated tent cities. You just have to know where to look.
One more reason to put Chipotle out of business.

Also, Amazon just spent a shit-ton of coin on it’s HQ there in Seattle. They won’t be vacating it anytime soon.
Seattle’s local politicians are a bunch of leftist kooks.
guy was hiking/climbing on remote mt hood. he fell and died hours later. family is now suing somebody because emergency rescuers did not arrive quickly enough. seems ridiculous to me.
_________________
Several years ago, I climbed Mt. Shasta in early February. The climb was a good idea, but the “February” part was not. It was the only time my friend and I were both available, so we decided to take a stab at it. In our defense, we were smart enough to hire a guide since it was the dead of winter.
The day of the climb, which was the morning after I flew in from a sea-level location in Texas (another bad idea), we all saw the clouds swirling around the peak. The guide basically said it looked pretty bad but that it was our decision to go or not and that he was game to try if we wanted to. So, my friend and I, because we were just dumb military guys, said screw it and went anyway.
After hiking a couple hours just to get to the main parking lot after our SUV got stuck in a snowbank, we quickly realized that it might not have been a great idea. Many hours later, halfway up the mountain, the guide starts to get concerned and goes on ahead to check things out. About 30 or so minutes later, he comes screaming down the mountain (we were on skis, another dumb thing unless you’re a good skier, which I’m not) telling us to stop climbing because he almost got blown off the mountain above.
So, we stopped, and due to the weather, built camp right there and hung on. It passed, and we survived, although we missed our window to summit and had to go back down in shame.
Of course, there were exactly zero other people on the mountain to witness our shame, because we were the only ones dumb enough to try.
But at no time did any of the three of us ever contemplate trying to call for a rescue, or blame anyone but ourselves for the predicament.

I’m not a pet guy, but growing up my parents were. Go male on cats and go female on dogs…that’s my rule.
go male on dogs and have them eat cats

80 games
The Warriors are too good and have simply ruined the NBA! They were already a Championship quality team before adding Durant!
I’ve watched and played various sports all my life with Basketball being among my favorites. I’ve never seen such a guaranteed lock to win a Championship in any sport like the Warriors in my lifetime!
that game was depressing to watch. wizards are minor league compared to rockets/warriors.
It’s not even a struggle for the Warriors. Durant and Curry could play in any era…they will drain a shot even with suffocating defense applied.
i loved what steve kerr said: “these guys today are so good there is no way i could have played in the modern nba.” (or something to that effect)
Kerr is correct! Any team in the past boasting that big body that would get you 30+ points would not be able to hang with this Warriors team. You literally need (5) perimeter defenders who can switch on passes and pick and rolls. On top of that, you’ll have to match them 3pt shot for 3pt shot.
Durant could. I’m not sure about Curry. I think he’d get bullied in earlier eras.
He died after a fall on Mount Hood. His family blames hours-long wait for rescue.

we give him benadryl. works for a little while, but then not so much and we don’t want to give him too much. are there other pills?
Yeah , the vet can give you pills too keep him calm . Buck dog was stoned for three months when his leg was in a cast .

Lady behind the new corporate tax in Seattle
In Seattle, there are 400 unsanctioned homeless encampments that are ridden with human feces and other sanitation issues. Often, open drug use and crime become problems.
Kshama Sawant, Seattle City Council member who is an avowed socialist, wants tax dollars used on hygiene and other resources so campers at the 400 unauthorized encampments can stay where they are.
Sawant didn’t hold back, calling Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos a bully and some residents upset over the encampments as right-wing NIMBYists, an acronym for Not In My Back Yard.
==========================================================
So if you do not want to pay a tax directed at a few select companies you’re a bully
and if you don’t want crime and drugs in your neighborhood you’re a right-wing nut job
I was in Seattle last year…those camps are an abomination. If I were a resident, I’d be a proud NIMBYist.
Politicians get so hungry to be seen as winners that bring high-paying jobs to their areas don’t consider things like infrastructure impacts to roads, schools, housing

So the Skins might promote Kyle Smith to GM…that’s like the kiss of death for that guy’s career.
____________
We haven’t had a true independent GM since Charley Casserly. Unless you want to count McCloughan, which I don’t because it was shown that he didn’t have the authority of a GM.
we’ve had several, Redskins just don’t use the GM title much
steve may have left out the word “competent”.
That too.
I endorse that message 100%
competent is the key word
every guy we have had, has had some serious flaw
be it drafting, free agent selections, coach selections
or in Vinny’s case all 3 defects
I don’t really agree in terms of the traditional setup I’m talking about here. McCloughan was the closest, but Shanny was coach/GM. Vinny was really the senior team exec also serving (poorly) as GM, and before that was Schotty as coach/GM, then Casserly.

Agree. But at the same time. If a 1st round pick ends up being all-pro by year two, it’s screws the players. I expect that in a generation the players union will want to go back the other way some.
=====================================
Explain how a 1st rounder is screwed, could be any player who becomes an all-pro player during his first contract
now there is additional compensation for lower rounds whose play exceeds where they were drafted
RG3 got a $1M/week for this 5th year option, in that case the team got screwed
it’s such a shame that a guy only made $20-$25M instead of $40-$45M
and then 60% of them are dumb enough go broke within a year of two of stopping play
That’s a totally different issue.
Yest the numbers are dumb. But we are saying you only get 1/2 the salary you probably deserve because it’s only your 3rd year on the job? Makes no sense.
They don’t “deserve” anything. There’s a market system controlled and limited by the CBA. They are getting exactly the amount they deserve.
I don’t think any of these guys prob “deserve” more than the salary of a medical specialist.
what would the salary need to be to be the faceless hate-filled 1%? owners need the illusion of scarcity, so they roll with it.
Base salary to be in the 1% right now is $506,000 a year.
so even the vet min guys are hatecrimers!
In so many ways did we get screwed with that fraud
The franchise tag is no longer the deterrent it used to be in terms of money. The Steelers didn’t blink putting 2 franchise tags on a Bell…a frickin running back!?! So Bell will be 27 or 28 years old before he sees his megadeal! And that will be the only megadeal he sees.
My symapthy is limited. Bell is going to make a truckload by being tagged 2 years in a row, so he’s not exactly getting screwed, and the Steelers have done the right thing to protect themselves.
Ramadan started in most Muslim countries except Saudi Arabia where weather prevented the Ramadan crescent moon from being sighted
so… maybe the moon didn’t happen? hahahaha…. other people’s religions are funny.
First Round picks actually got screwed in this last CBA. Well that is if they actually turn out to be solid starters or better. Sure the initial rookie contracts they sign are greater in dollar value, but over the long haul it hurts their earning potential more so than players drafted after the 1st round.
Every 1st round rookie signs a 4 year contract, but if that player ends up being really good it really becomes a 5 year contract when the team uses a 5th year option. If the team and the player still can’t get a deal done after the 5th year option, then the franchise tag will be used and apparently using a 5th year option plus (2) franchise tags are still a better deal for the team than the guaranteed money they’d have to pay based on the market.
The best example of this right now is Odell Beckham Jr and Jarvis Landry! Both drafted in the same draft with Beckham being a 1st rounder and Landry being a 2nd rounder! Beckham is playing on a 5th year option. Meanwhile Landry was eligible for free agency before Miami franchise tagged him and traded him. Obviously the Ginas are not going to pay Beckham what he wants, so you can bet your ass he will be franchised tagged next year. Meanwhile Landry will be in the 2nd year of his 2nd contract. The point being by the time Beckham gets his mega deal from New York or someone else, he will have given NY 6 or 7 of his prime earning years. Because of that, his first megadeal may be the only one he sees. At the same time Landry will be on the verge of his 2nd lucrative contract with a few prime years left.
So Beckham is the better player than Landry, but Landry will have made more money in the long haul…simply by virtue of being drafted after the 1st round.
Problem is, no one reps the rookies in the CBA, so not likely to get fixed any time soon.
The players hated that these unproven college kids could come out and hit the jackpot without having played a single down. They were happy to skrew the first rounders if it meant more cash getting spread to vets. And I don’t blame them.
Agree. But at the same time. If a 1st round pick ends up being all-pro by year two, it’s screws the players. I expect that in a generation the players union will want to go back the other way some.
The players aren’t getting screwed. They’re still going to make millions of guaranteed dollars. I’m fully on the owners’ side on this one.
Wait a minute, though – the 1st round rookie contracts were WAY out of control and doing serious damage to the salary cap. Their contracts are fully guaranteed, so they’re fine. The slotting system is also how the NBA operates, so it isn’t some sort of wild idea.
The owners were 100% right in reigning in rookie contracts.
They were right in terms of money value. But 1st rounders are getting screwed by the length of the rookie deal vs their comrades drafted later.
1st round contracts used to be 5 years. The 5th year option is a pretty decent compromise, I think, because certainly teams want to protect themselves.
I won’t be surprised if eventually there’s more of a push for the performance intensive types of things eventually.
Beckham made 2x as much in his first 2 years as Landry made in his first 4
He’s going to make 19 million in his first 5. Landry got paid 21.5 total cash in year 5. if Beckham is going to be FT’ed he’ll make 1-2 mil more next year than Landry, and sig more if FTY2. the lesson is be good and you get paid.
Landry just signed a $75 million dollar contract…
Landry gets paid 21.5 million cash this year; his 2019 salary is g’d for total g’s of 34+ mil.
his salaries in the next few years are less than the FT
Landry will be about 6 million (25 vs 19) ahead after year 5 of career, but then Beckham will reel him in, possibly by end of year 7. Possibly much sooner if he gets a LTD.
They both are getting paid.
i sure hope the skins draft a DL or 2 and an OL, and maybe a MLB.
oh… wait… that comment has expired.
HAve we signed Hanki…
nevermind
So the Skins might promote Kyle Smith to GM…that’s like the kiss of death for that guy’s career.
Or the spark that ignites the revolution…..
I get a kick out of watching “professional law enforcement officers” nut up on video in a situation where they have to “use their service revolver in the line of duty”. For every well trained courageous officer, there’s a cowardly bitch officer.

Heh, we got another self-licker.

So our restrooms now have heavy doors, with locks and peepholes
it is funny to watch the women struggle to open the restroom door
I assume the restrooms are going to be safe rooms in case of an active shooter situation
Problem is the wall made of drywall on the “L” shaped bathroom configuration
Instead of trying to shoot thru the reinforced door, I would just take 3 steps to the left or right and shoot thru the drywall into the bathrooms
Peepholes? I assume those are on the inside?
Apparently we had a shooting in one of our office building bathrooms a few weekends back.
A security guards gun “went off”, she shot through a sink and the bullet went through a few things of dry wall as well I’m told.
Also heard after that that this has happened 3 times in the last decade with security people here.
one in the chamber is not a good thing with an semi-automatic pistol
because at that point only thing preventing a fire is the safety
and if you someone flip that off…
I dunno if that’s what’s going on.
My guess is that the fake cops go into the bathroom on the weekends start to play real cop in the mirror, the finger slips and Boom.
Is this a civilian security guard, or professional law enforcement of some type?
civilian I think
Paul Blart
again if no round in chamber the gun is only going to dry fire at worst
I don’t think law enforcement operate like that, though.
These guys primary job is to x-ray folks walking into the building.
I know of a rookie corrections officer who shot a hole through the floor boards of his gun truck, in the middle of the night, playing with his pistol.
I know a guy who has been hunting his entire life and accidentally discharged his rifle inside the cab of his truck . It happens .
Had a moment at 7-11 the other day. Dude in front of me in line started flipping out on the cashier because she wouldn’t let him pay with a lottery ticket. When he started threatening her I felt the need to step in and try and get him to calm down, which really just caused him to direct his anger my way, fine whatever. He then tried to grab and run off with the food with out paying, but I was blocking his exit. So he just threw the hot dog at the checkout girl. Not a fun moment.
Good for you. You did the right thing.
Good job. Out of curiousity…. Was it a winning ticket? Ticket to a future drawing?
Was it a winning ticket?
To be clear, I didn’t put my hands on him, didn’t want to start a fight. But had that moment of realizing, I couldn’t just let him threaten the poor lady.
More patience than I think I would have exhibited
I don’t wanna get in a fight, never know if he’s on something, or got a knife. Could tell he didn’t have a gun.
I always carry a knife, rule #9
I used too, but working in government buildings it was an issue.
Israeli ceramic combat knife which passes thru metal detectors
(but not x-ray)
Stop trying to get Alex fired.
Chokeslam
Did he have a winning ticket, or scratcher? Or was it a winner that he got out of the trash that had already been scanned?
I couldn’t tell, looked like a thing he found in the trash, but he could also just have not taken care of it.
The clerk may have seen him try that shit before. The lotto machine knows by the barcode if it’s already been paid out.
I figure as much. She claimed the machine was broken, but could have just been her saying that.
Who knows. If the machine is down, it’s fucking down, nothing she can do but call it in or try a reboot, that’s it. If the ticket was legit, he’d just have to go somewhere else to cash it in.
My thing is this…if I’m starving, and I’m intending on stealing food, I’m getting the food and hitting the door. Not gonna stand around in front of the camera and have a conversation.
Thinking back on it after the fact I’m guessing he was on something or intoxicated. He tried to take off with the food like I said, but I was standing in the way.
We have a guy that comes in the local store shit-faced, asking what number you like, blah blah blah, wants to call out 24 50¢ bets, can’t fill out cards. The store owner usually ends up telling him to beat bricks
My good deed for the weekend was getting a stray dog back to its owner, who was worried sick about her. The dog was hot, tired, and thirsty, but judging how fast she approached me when I stopped and got out of the car, pretty happy that someone was willing to help her.
Here’s a column explaining the quirk that makes 3rd round picks tougher to sign:

And by the way, I’m not sure how accurate that column is, because our draft picks this year all have the same base salary figure.

New Redskins GM Deangelo Hall just completed his first off-season for the Redskins
The question remains, how they are going to integrate the 3 top DB draft picks in one season after signing 3 new starters before the draft to very long contracts.
Rehashsmash!*
Redskins vdraft Inside Linebacker in first round of 2019 NFL draft, “I alealw secretly wanted to be a linebacker” – DHall
Has the Geron Christian holdout ended?
Dude is the new Heath Shuler. SMH!!
He participated in rookie minicamp even though, AFAIK, he still hasn’t signed. Strange.
It’s apparently pretty common for 3rd rounders to have delayed signings. Some little loophole in rookie contracts.
it appears that 1st round picks are treated the best, with 2nd rounders next, and then… lots more games played in the 3rd round and on.

Ben Affleck is banned for life from playing Blackjack at the Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas after being caught counting cards.
One thing I doubt I will be accused of. 😛
Lol.
Well played.
counting cards should not be illegal.
It’s legal
is it illegal, or against casino policy/rules?
It’s a casino policy
semantics. it’s not allowed.
what? you’re not allowed to be a good, smart card player??
It’s not semantics.
i understand he’s not going to jail for it, ok? the distinction within this conversation is purely semantic.
it’s not different than a carnival rule. you have to stay behind the line when throwing the ball to hit a prize or whatever. if you break the rule, no prize, they put your head in a vice and if you’re lucky, just ban you after a working over. I’ve seen it a hundred times.
Matt Millen, the former Detroit Lions general manager, needs a heart transplant.
Millen was diagnosed with amyloidosis, an incurable disease that is being treated with chemotherapy.

If you are local..
So Josh Norman better have his knee pads ready this week, Tonya is in the finals too
have you seen that commercial for something with nancy kerrigan in it? she says something like, “most of you know me for my 2 gold medals…” or whatever. NO! that is not what we know you for. you were tonya’s victim.
i do not like the yankees surging and being good this season. makes bryce harper’s departure to the yankees more likely.
Best to just assume Harper’s gone.
i’m still clinging tightly…. make him a career-long national. just do it. i, and every other fan, do not give a ish about the luxury tax, etc… if we let harper get away… that is a PR (and on-field) nightmare, imo.
It’s the Lerners. They will be the one’s who have to pay him the big moeny.
i understand that. i’m saying he’s worth more for the learners playing here and suffering the luxury tax, than they’d save by letting him go. he’s the face of the franchise.
what if the cost is $40-50 million per year?
I doubt even Harper pulls that much.
500 mil / 15 years (33 mil per)
?
I dunno if MLB has a limit. I know the NFL is six years, but Scherzer has a 10 year deal.
Will you hate him when he’s a Yankee?
coach,
if that happens, yes.
If I like a player as an individual/role model, I continue to like them and root for them (as long as they aren’t on a team I hate, and/or playing against my team).
I don’t know much about Harper. But Cousins is one of the few guys I could literally point to and say to my kids, “Be like that guy.” Players like that are extremely rare in sports today.
I will keep rooting for him, as long as he isn’t playing for the Cowboys or against the Skins.
well… good for you. i hope cousins never completes another pass. he’s not a redskin. he’s dead to me.
That’s totally cool. I was just curious how you felt about it.
I enjoy getting to know folks’ opinions and reasoning, and don’t take it personally (generally speaking) when they differ from mine. Hate away, my brother! 🙂
(I’ll be right there with you when we play him in the NFC championship game! So will my two Cousins-loving kids.)
well, i suppose i can adapt and say that whenever cousins plays vs the cowboys, eagles or giants, he can complete passes. otherwise – NO!
Harper is going to be either a Yankee, Cub, or Red Sox, I’d bet.
Cool

Can’t wait for Ep 9 and 10… the Wizards Years.
I think the legend of Michael Jordan outpaces the actual Michael Jordan.
of course. he suffers from never playing for the lakers, obviously a big hole in his career.
He’s no Michael Cooper.
Cooper was a better defender.
No.
Yes.
Wrong.
Right.
Jordan: 9X NBA defensive first team.
Cooper: 5X NBA defensive first team.
enough with the facts and figures! steve’s impervious.
i will grant that cooper had longer socks.

hahahahhahahaaaa….. pure comedy gold.
It’s tough for you to accept the objective fact that the Lakers, along with the Celtics, are by far the most successful franchises in the NBA and have the most great players, by far.
I don’t think anyone disagrees with the fact that those are the two marque franchises all time. But with out question the Bulls with Jordan were the best team of the 90s.
imagine if Michael hadn’t tried to play baseball

I’m just so over you in every way. I was talking about his legend. I didn’t use the word “overrated”.
Semantics. Sorry for smashing your dumb hot takes repeatedly.
I enjoy a good discussion with people who hold different opinions. But I don’t respect you or like you, and most of your positions are absurd.
And I literally could not care less what you think of me or about anything else.
Then why are you here? Go find somewhere else to post.
Why? Because TI moved over here.
2× NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion (1987, 1988)
Those don’t count. That’s the finger turkey on the fridge.
Meh, counts a liiiitle bit. I miss the days when superstars entered the competition.
Jordan was very likely the greatest of all time. DC rightly points out his many, many accomplishments.
But no one anywhere ever could live up to the ridiculous mythos that is the Legend of Jordan.
I don’t think Steve was making that crazy a claim. Its just true. Doesn’t take away from the greatness of MJ.
At least one person understood.

Meh…..
Not a home run, but a double.
Would have been better if it was photoshoped.
i just hope she cries some more about being a national laughingstock. she is now the face of racism in general, and anti-BBQism in particular.
anti-BBQism…. those people don’t belong in the US.
Just petty. I’m tryna figure out the look……
Butch Batman, Vigilante for hire?

talk about resting bitch face….
Lol
well , were they using charcoal or not ?
DHall did well on NFL Network, the other week. His public speaking abilities TRUMP most ex-players already on the payroll, in my most humble opinion.
He’s very good, I think.
Yes.
I just am doubtful that he would get a gig, not sure he’s a big enough name, never played on a “great” team. A 91-132 record.
He articulated the game very well, there is power in that…..power that you could only hope to see realized, in your lifetime…….
Don’t disagree. But Networks are going to care way more about success on the field.
Maybe not.
Chris Canty is on ESPN and ESPN radio now. He doesn’t need to be a superstar, although DHall is a pretty big name.
Chris Canty has this on his resume: Super Bowl champion. Also “Dallas Cowboy”
So? He wasn’t nearly as good a player as DHall. Tim Freaking Hasslebeck has a job with ESPN for goodness’ sake.
So during the depo’s they had a smoking gun email from Eli about equipment
so Eli did the proud thing and threw the equipment manager under the bus
after all that they decided to settle
I would not want to put on any equipment provided to me by the equipment guy now if I were Eli
They decided to settle because the case was only ever about money. The plaintiffs had Eli over a barrel just with the threat of a trial alone. I always thought it would settle.
I think DHall would be a fool to go into coaching. He’s well-spoken enough to land a national media gig, I bet, which is a much, much better lifestyle and likely more money.
Unless, of course, the thing that brings him joy in life is the game of football and the thrill of competition.
Then, he’d be a fool to take a bunch of money and be a talking head.
Of course. If coaching is what he wants to do, then he should do it. It’s a tough lifestyle, though.
Yep. Agreed. And there’s no guarantee that he’ll make it based on his name/career.
National media gigs are a dying industry. At least big paydays are
I disagree with that – there are lots of talking head positions available at NFLN, ESPN, and even Fox Sports.
ESPN’s hemorrhaging cash and firing folks all the time. Why pay someone 1 million to do a sports talk TV show when you can pay someone under 100 K for the same gig. No one really tunes into those shows for the personalities.
Because he’s a name, and ESPN still employs lots of names, particularly new ones with smaller starting salaries. I bet we see him on a network somewhere, unless, as coach says, coaching is what he wants to do.
he has the handicap of not being an ex-cowboy. i blame teamism.
Thanks Mr. Steve, good read.
Glad you liked it.
I liked it, I liked it alot 🙂
what was it about?
A comparison of NFL front office chain of command, in relation to our front office.
Also, if euphoric academia can add stupid words to our English dictionary…… alot stands. Murika, baby!
bastardize away! hell, “literally” now literally means “figuratively”, much to my chagrin.
Everybody’s doing it, what’s good for the Goose…….
A Sichuan Airlines co-pilot was sucked halfway out of an aircraft’s cockpit when its windshield shattered during a flight, Chinese state media has reported.
Damn what is this with people getting sucked out of airplanes these days?
So is DHall23 retired or not?
HogSty should investigate this mystery
By the time we investigate it, DHall will release a statement. He just wants to have his big “retirement moment”, with the tear-filled presser at Redskins Park, but he let it slip to John Keim.
he back-stepped once he saw what entry level coaches get paid
“you’ll get your foot in the door and get to work with some really good technical coaches”
“sounds good… how much does it pay?”
“um… this is an internship”
OR
“um… it pays your tuition”
OR
“you get free water and orange wedges”
if he managed his money well he probably doesn’t have to work another day in his life
a lot (correct spelling) of former players start out with the unpaid coaching intern position and work themselves up to a paid position in a year or two
they can actually afford to not get paid cause the banked their money
Remember to allot a lot of time to find a space in the parking lot

Arie Kouandjio went for a second opinion on his quad injury and the result is going be a trip to the operating room.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Washington guard will have surgery on his partially torn quad later this week.
Not a big loss
It is a big loss….he’s quality depth at a position that desperately needs it even with the Lauvao return.
Agree to disagree
I never saw anything from him
Now out at least “several months” instead for the season. Could still be for the season, but kind of good news…
According to Seth Wickersham and Adam Schefter of ESPN, Steelers minority partner David Tepper is expected to sign the deal to buy the Panthers from Jerry Richardson today.
In cash….wow.
or most cash of all the deals presented and he has backing of Steelers and Giants families
The civil fraud lawsuit against the Giants and quarterback Eli Manning officials has been resolved.
https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/05/14/giants-announce-settlement-of-eli-manning-lawsuit/
Settled on the morning of trial. Eli wouldn’t have been smart to gamble with a jury verdict. Wise move.

we need a web link for that?
or send Steve to remedial English class
LOL
ftr….I did not name names
well the typo is in what Steve wrote so egro sum defacto crapum it’s Steve
It wasn’t a typo.
I intentionally used the term “alot” with full knowledge that it isn’t used in proper english and that it is also spelled “a lot”. I couldn’t care less what your writing website says. Go use the term the way you want.

Wait….you’re intentionally not conforming to convention?
Wow.
You’re just a step away from doing a bong rip!
I’m proud of ya!
I also think putting the comma inside a quote is stupid and I don’t do that either.
