re: If the U.S. Federal Reserve can just “print” money, why does the Government borrow money?
Posted by Tiger Prawn on 3/27/25 at 2:51 pm
quote:Printing an extra $2-3 trillion a year is going to make your money worthless. The economy would crash because prices on everything would skyrocket with that kind of inflation and everyone’s life savings would be worth a fraction of what it used to be. Banks would collapse because inflation would be far outpacing the interest they make on existing loans.
I know flooding the economy with money causes inflation, However the government is spending this money regardless. Surely, some genius on this forum can explain to me why this wouldn’t work in a way my simple mind can understand.

re: New Mavs owners officially demanding a new arena

quote:It doesn't, at least not in Dallas. The team sucking means that there would be even less public support or political willpower to spend a massive amount of taxpayer money on a new arena, especially with most people thinking the current arena is still very nice.
Genuine question, how does tanking the organization help get a new arena?
So when the team owners demand a new arena and the city says no, then they have a reason to go to the other NBA owners to get permission to relocate.
Supposedly the new owners want a complex with a casino resort alongside a new arena, and that's not happening in Dallas unless Texas changes their mind about legalizing gambling in the state. If they can't get it in Texas, then hello Vegas.

he criminal should have to pay repair cost
If they're caught and found guilty, the court will order them to pay back restitution. Problem is that even if the suspect gets caught, its going to be at least several months before the court case is resolved and the restitution order is issued...if the perp pleads guilty. If they take it to trial, it may be a year or longer before its resolved. In the meantime, the Tesla owner is out of pocket for the repair cost or their insurance deductible.

But if Mavs did move that leaves a hole in big TV market. What a mess down there.
League could charge an insanely high expansion team fee for a market of Dallas’ size. When was the last time one of the big 4 leagues offered up the opportunity for an expansion team in a top 5 media market?

I’m way too far removed to remember how old I was during all of this. I remember playing t-ball, then coaches pitch, then pitching machine, then live pitching. How old was I during each of those stages?
Age 5-6 was t-ball
Age 7-8 was coach pitch
Age 9-10 was player pitch
Age 11-12 we could steal bases, but no taking leads and the ball had to pass the plate before the runner could take off.
Age 13-15 was regular baseball rules. Could take leads, try to steal any time, pick off tries, balks, etc

re: Speaker Mike Johnson floats eliminating federal courts as GOP ramps up attacks on judges
Posted by Tiger Prawn on 3/25/25 at 2:56 pm
You don't need to add or remove district courts. Need to change the law to where district judges can't issue these nationwide injunctions. Let them issue injunctions that apply only within the area their district court covers. That should curb the venue shopping nonsense that goes on currently every time some activist group sues to block one of Trump's moves.
re: Men’s basketball portal opened yesterday… 14% of all eligible Div 1 players entered

but we saw the exact opposite of this in football after all the bitching and moaning this would happen there too
Boise was the only non-P4 team to finish in the top 20.
If you look at last year in the context of the BCS or 4 team playoff era, it would have looked overall like a pretty normal season. Look at the top of the polls after the final week of the regular season. The top 7 were all teams that have traditionally been elite level programs and frequent contenders. It only seems like last season was weird because we were talking about Arizona State, SMU, Boise, Indiana, and BYU as playoff contenders....which was more to do with conference realignment and the expanded playoff field.
I don't think we really had more upsets than normal last year. It just seemed like there was more parity because so many teams still had playoff hopes alive late in the season thanks to the 12 team playoff format.

There’s going to be a lot fewer good players stuck on crap teams that won’t get a chance to play in the tournament…
And there's going to be a lot more crap teams in the tournament because the talent will end up more consolidated to the big name programs. Small schools won't be able to keep their diamonds in the rough that the major schools initially overlooked as high school recruits.
The P4 conferences are the only 4 conferences with teams that made it to the sweet 16 this year. Its never been less than 7 conferences represented in the sweet 16 since the tournament expanded to 32 teams in 1975

Guys that don’t play want to find somewhere to play. Shocking development.
And guys who weren't highly recruited out of high school became breakout stars at mid-majors want to jump ship to a P4. NIL combined with unlimited transfers is terrible if you liked seeing mid-majors with a roster of quality upper classmen upsetting the blue bloods whose best players are often one and dones.
quote:Those contracts have buyout clauses in them. If a coach leaves for another job, the new school hiring him has to pony up the money to buyout the remainer of his contract. Unless player scholarships start having buyout clauses where the new school owes money to the old school for a transferring player, then you're comparing apples to oranges.
In other news, I didn’t see many threads about all those coaches not fulfilling their contracts and leaving their players for a raise. Hmmmmm

Declining NIT bid was embarrassing
Accepting a consolation postseason invite after going 3-15 in conference play and finishing 15th out of 16 is embarrassing. Just put an end to the crap season.
Plus you're dealing with the transfer portal being open and current players possibly leaving the team while you're in the middle of the NIT....which would be another embarrassment. Portal opened today and 3 LSU players are in it already.

So he's saying adding new territories will be a reasoning for creating an entirely new constitution? Does this jackass not realize that the current constitution was written when there were only 13 states and that the US has annexed new territory and added new states dozens of times since then and never was the constitution rewritten to do so?

The TV rights deals with all the other networks are all locked in for another decade and NFL Network's slate of games is crap.
A couple of shite matchups for games played in Europe that have 9am Eastern / 6am Pacific kickoff times....and a couple of Saturday games in week 17.
Redzone is cool, but not $2B cool
I guess the only positive is that maybe ESPN will shift most of their NFL talking heads and analyst shows to NFL Network and give more air time to other sports.
