The first three in that order. After that it’s either Tarkenton, P. Rivers, M. Ryan, Cam Newton, or Bledsoe. HM to Carson Palmer and Rich Gannon?

Josh Allen, Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson are making their cases currently.
I’m old enough to remember thinking that Dan Marino’s 61,361 passing yards would not be broken. Now here we are just 25 years later and he’s 10 on the all time passing yards list.

With the movement to a passing league and increased number of games, I wouldn’t be surprised to see several of those be broken in the next 25-50 years.

I’d be okay with these at intersections catching litterers who put an entire bag of Popeyes or gas station food on the ground waiting for the light to change.
I feel like it’s very standard practice for gas prices to rise before and through Memorial Day, then slowly fall and find their equilibrium for the refi of the year.
Probably an unpopular opinion here: Texas has the Texas Tort Claim Act and Alabama doesn’t allow you to sue the state unless it’s for workers comp, fraud or things in bad faith, etc.

Louisiana pays millions and millions of dollars to defend frivolous lawsuits and pay judgements instead of paying to fix roads or hire better employees. Texas has it set up the right way. Louisiana loves its lawsuits.
I’m betting that he isn’t reinstated on polymarket.

I have a feeling we gonna be very good this year.


We noticed. :lol:
Kamara, Ingram and Deuce lead the Saints all time in rushing yards and rushing TDs. Those three are easy.

After that you’re looking at George Rogers (4,267 yards, 23 rushing TDs, OROY, 1st team All Pro, 44 receptions, and 4 years as a Saint) or Dalton Hilliard (4,164 yards, 39 rushing TDs, 2nd team All Pro, 249 receptions, & 8 years as a Saint).

I’d go with Hilliard because of his years, receptions and TDs.


Muncie, Pierre Thomas, and Rueben Mayes get honorable mentions statistically. But they aren’t quite on the level of the above five.

The liberal element is absolutely not overplayed. Colorado is essentially California right now. It's a far left state in 2026.


1) People care to much about politics and let it run their life.
2) Colorado is a very purple state. Colorado Springs is very conservative with the Air Force base and Olympic training center. Boulder is extremely liberal and blue. Denver is a mix with a bunch of homeless. Fort Collins is just a bunch of baws who like the outdoors. Everyone in west Colorado doesn’t like the government in their business.

I like Colorado Springs. As one poster said, it lacks the soul that Louisiana has and is very strip mallish. The food scene is meh. Wildfires are a thing that can cause haziness and smoke. But it’s very beautiful and probably a great place to live.

Why are they so pissed about this?


I know, right! Why are people upset about ballrooms, Arc de Trumps and huge slush funds paid for by taxpayers. Just let the people eat their cake and go about their lives.
Personally, I was a young professional just starting out in my career. I was so poor I didn’t really notice. I was looking to buy a home and kept waiting for prices to go lower with the housing crash of 08, but that never really happened here.

BR and NOLA, are usually somewhat insulated from national recessionary trends. Govt., Higher Ed., and refineries/plants are usually pretty steady and don’t see the swings like banking or tech., etc. We don’t always have the mass layoffs or huge downturns when times are bad. But we also don’t see major upswings when times are good.

Inflation predictions and ibonds

Posted by Suntiger on 5/19/26 at 8:33 am
In ‘22 this board was all in on ibonds as inflation rose and the return was around 8-9%. That was with a 0.0% fixed rate.

Reading that inflation is predicted to rise to between 4 and 5% over the rest of the year.

CNBC says 6%
Peterson Institute says above 4%
Federal Planning Bureau says 4.56% in Q4.
Polymarket bets between 4.5-5.0%

Current fixed rate is 0.9%. That’s down from 1.3% and 1.2% in 2024-25.

So with the fixed rate decreasing and inflation outlook on the rise, is it time to get back into ibonds? Or do we think the fed will raise rates and t-bills and CDs are a safe money haven?

About 15 years. Let's call it $175K is owed. Pretty close to that. While it's possible, I do not see a refinance in my future due to interest rates.


See if your mortgage company will allow you to recast your mortgage. Should lower your monthly payment while keeping your current rate.

Let’s be honest…this is probably one of the better threads on the front page at this point.

6/10 - would recommend.
It’s there a theory called QB Face or something that the best looking kids are put at QB in peewee football and middle anchool and that’s why most QBs are better looking than your average player at other positions?

re: What’s next for St George?

Posted by Suntiger on 5/17/26 at 9:23 am to
In light of the Callais decision, is it time to try to challenge the EBRPSS consent decree? You’d lose on the district level, but win on the appellate level. St. George wouldn’t get its own school system, but they’d stop bussing which would cure part of the issues they have with the current school system. If they win that, having their own school system isn’t as far of a jump as it is now.
Agreed.

It’s ironic that a decade ago the Tea Party railed against government and the swamp and how it can’t be trusted and needs to be downsized or drained.

Fast forward a decade and those republicans take over and are surprised that people don’t trust the government…because those same republicans can’t understand that they are the government now.

Not sure where they go from here.
