    Around the NFL: News and Rumors

    At first I read that as Hopkins for Johnson, a 2nd and a 4th, and my first thought was that the Texans were getting fleeced in a way even EDC would be proud of. Then I read the terms of the trade again....

    The Well-Mannered Politics Thread

    FYI (in case you or someone you know has it), the main symptoms are a fever, a dry cough that gets more severe, shortness of breath, and fatigue in more advanced cases. Things like a headache and runny nose have been reported but aren't as consistent among sufferers, so it's worth keeping an eye...

    The Random Thought Thread

    I get the tempering of expectations. The more hyped we get about how great everything's going to be, the more soul-crushingly depressing it is if we lose in the playoffs again. And it makes seasons like 2015 a special kind of dick punch. Not that I fault anyone for expecting the moon, mind.

    I'd also add that the public health infrastructure has been getting gutted for a while now (including under the Democrats) - not that it absolves Trump of his disaster of a response. This kinda sums it up.

    It's his proposal, so the thing preventing that cut from becoming reality is Congress getting in his way. The CDC cuts are pretty easy to verify since the budgets are available online. The numbers in the right-hand columns are the changes on the previous year, and the red numbers in brackets are...

    DUMP THREAD V.9: SZN OVER

    Thanks, I think we'll be alright. We're both low-risk and it's probably not the worst thing to shut yourself off from the world for a bit. The people I really feel for are the ones who can't get testing because they can't afford insurance (or some equally inexplicable reason out of their...

    DUMP THREAD V.9: SZN OVER

    My wife and I have to quarantine ourselves for a couple of weeks now. We had someone over for breakfast and later that day it turned out one of the parents at her kid's daycare had tested positive for it (and the poor kid now has a fever). We don't have any symptoms and we were already both...

    Around the NFL: News and Rumors

    I don't disagree but the depressing thing is that I think the owners win in the case of a holdout. They usually have extra income streams (our own Dick Cass said that buying an NFL team is like buying an expensive painting), so they can survive a holdout. The players have decidedly fewer options...

    Honestly this shows how deep the bubble effect goes. Pete's been in the top four for about a year now and the midwest is his strongest region. A lot of polls have been projecting that he'd win Iowa for a while. If you haven't heard of him then that just shows how insular the bubbles are these...

    Resolved Lagging

    It gets pretty bad on mobile for me, though on my laptop I don't remember it being a huge issue. It seems to happen when there's a post with an embeded tweet above the post your browser's using as an anchor point. If you're jumping into the thread from post 6, then it'll load to post 6 before...

    Conference Championship Round Discussion (Other Teams)

    It would have been cool to see the Titans make an underdog run all the way (would also make me feel better about losing to them too) - except their fans are the worst human beings I've come across as far as fan bases go. And that's saying something because I remember Patriots fans making fun of...

    The Ugly, The Murphy's Law and The Ravens

    If your mental health is genuinely poor I'd recommend seeing someone (mental health issues tend to involve chemicals produced by the brain so getting a pro involved is like going to a doctor over blood pressure stuff). But outside that, if we're going to get philosophical, it comes back to how...

    The Ugly, The Murphy's Law and The Ravens

    I feel the same, just really empty and kinda sad about knowing that this won't be our year even though this may have been our best shot at being a generation-defining team (which makes it all even worse). But with that said though, I stopped feeling anything at all during Joe's last years...

    The Ugly, The Murphy's Law and The Ravens

    After sleeping on it I'm still so deflated you could mistake me for one of Tom Brady's footballs. We managed to create a genuine juggernaut and it feels like it all went wrong through an unfortunate mix of badly timed injuries, inexperience and running into one of the hottest teams in the...
