Sadly it was a big part of our history though.
It is more unbelivable when it's just ignored. The past can't be changed. It's what happened.

Just because it is a true part of our history, doesn't mean it has to be featured in every show from the era. Plenty of other things were going on in the early '60s that don't get a subplot.

Bet you do Karen.

Seems obvious - missile strikes on drug boats, moving aircraft carriers to the area, B1 bombers flying over, now military having to sign NDAs. Seems obvious prelude to war. Maduro is a scumbag, but not sure why we care so much. Probably a poli-board thing but I don't hang there and seems like this is not being talked about enough. Gonna have boots on the ground before you know it.

U.S. military officials involved with President Donald Trump's expanding operations in Latin America have been asked to sign non-disclosure agreements, three U.S. officials say, a development that raises new questions about a military buildup that Venezuela fears may lead to an invasion.

So let me get this straight, let us say another NCAA school could hire Kelly as an HC and pay him a $100,000 a year

---

The other school would have to pay him near fair market value, no judge or arbitrator would allow some phony low salary to leave LSU on the hook. LSU would sue Kelly for the difference and they'd probably negotiate a lump sum buyout to avoid mitigation altogether.

I know, but he looks much younger. 34 yrs old was different in the 80s. This guy was 34 when Cheers started.

Catch the latest NBA news and tell me again how smart it is to “tank” a season. That’s a serious federal crime to commit over a chance at an unnamed and unproven rookie.

---

OK, ignore the fact that my post said the players and coaches should try their hardest. What on earth does tanking for draft position have to do with this gambling scandal? Are you mental? NBA teams tank for lottery position every year. They even have a name for it now: "the process". This gambling thing going on has nothing to do with anything like that. You really are weird.

The staff likes Rattler.

Sure, when the only alternative is rookie Shough. I guarantee there will be a name or two in the 1st round they like more at QB. The only thing that keeps us from drafting one in this draft is winning too many games, or Tyler Shough looking really good after the bye.

quote:

It appears there's no QB in the draft that will come in and light up the league day 1

---

The point I'm trying to make is that if your team needs a QB, you can't wait until you're sure there will be a QB "that will come in and light up the league." If you do that, you don't draft Josh Allen, or Lamar Jackson, or Justin Herbert, or Ben Roethlisberger, or Drew Brees, or whoever. Even if you do wait, you might end up with Trevor Lawrence, who everyone thought was a sure thing for 3 years before he was drafted.

That being said, I'd love it if Shough plays after the bye and looks awesome. If he doesn't and the Saints feel like the rest of their team is so bad they need to wait on drafting a QB... OK, fine, draft an edge or whatever, but if they win 7-8 games the next season with average QB play they will have significantly less QB options (and still no "sure thing") in the next draft.

Huh. Born and raised in BR. Never heard of a fried chicken poboy. I'm sure its tasty though.

These “tank the season so the Saints can hang their hats on an unproven rookie” threads are so stupid that I can’t believe the authors can figure out how to breathe.

Bunch of full-on retards…

The entire roster has careers to think about. Each and every one of them. Those careers don’t last by turning in crappy stats.

So does the coaching staff.

Then there’s the matter of federal law as it relates to anticompetitive behavior.

Then there’s Vegas.

Then there’s the fact that this mythical unnamed draft pick with no NFL experience whatsoever who can single-handedly save the franchise is a total freaking unicorn.

Idiots…

First, the weird spacing between your sentences is not necessary. Secondly, no one expects the players or coaches to "tank". If the players aren't trying their hardest, cut the MFers. Tanking, for lack of a better word, happens at the GM/organizational level when (for example) Derek Carr retires and is not replaced with a vet QB, or we roll with rookies like Sanker, Riley, and Simpkins rather than trade for proven players, or we let Grupe play through a slump rather than cutting him. As fans, it's OK to root for losses this year because we know the team is not going to the playoffs and it gives us a better opportunity to improve in the next draft. Don't project your stupidity onto the rest of us.
