  1. Wasn't just talking about you nor even this thread. Just all the wasted ink and breath on this shit when it's just like who the fuck knows?
  2. Giants really made out between this and the Chapman deal. Happy for them after striking out so many times the past few years.
  3. I think it's silly to do back-of-the-napkin math of the assets of quite literally the biggest liar in the world when it comes to his assets. It's 100% speculation. Just wait and see.
  4. @Rhom - Don't know if you have an Athletic subscription or not (if you don't you should!), but David Lombardi just posted an outstanding article explaining the Niners' current cap situation. Bottomline - they have about $10 million left to spend right now. Then, after June 1, they'll get an extra $18 million from the Armstead release that they can use to sign their draft class - which will cost a maximum of about $11 million if they keep all their current picks and they all make the 53-man roster (very unlikely) and bank the rest for in-season trades/rollover for next year. In other words, they have the opportunity to make one more big splash before the draft. Looking at you still-available safeties...
  5. Yeah this is what I was going to say. If you think Tish James is going to back off or strike some sort of deal for pennies on the dollar after she put her career on the line for this case -- and won -- then you really don't understand Tish James.
  6. Yeah I suppose Kate may have similar muscle memory when it comes to photoshop that Ed did playing video games.
  7. Dunkirk is on Hulu right now! I don't have much to say. I think it is my favorite war movie ever. Apocalypse Now is a better movie, but a lot of that is the heart of darkness, not essentially war. And Dunkirk is all, essentially and relentlessly, about war. It's also just so polished and expertly simplistic. Further, watching it again grants appreciation for the merging of the timelines. It makes Branagh's lines hit home more. It makes Fortis 2 rooting and having faith in Fortis 1 that much better. It makes the point they're clearly making at the end more poignant. I just adore this movie so much.
  8. It's also my mom's birthday. Neither here nor there, but you just reminded me I have to have dinner with my mom soon. I know, I'm an ungrateful son, but ugh.
  9. Another thing I'd say is you know why the Niners are perpetual contenders? Ultimately it's because of, like, eight players: Purdy, Trent, CMC, Kittle, Deebo, Aiyuk, Bosa, and Warner. And then they build around those players (plus, obviously, both Purdy and CMC are kinda new). Other than Purdy, they all have terrible cap hits...until there are restructures of course. The NFL cap is eminently malleable, so particularly in that way, I don't know what you're worried about.
  10. K. Still no reason to assume you're gonna hit on your next pick. How do you even know any team is offering that? Seems like you're operating from your own assumptions and going from there instead of reality.
  11. The rookie WR also isn't a sure thing. Hell, even in that 2020 draft that had JJ, Lamb, Aiyuk, Higgins, and Pittman all drafted in the first 34 picks, the first two WRs drafted were Henry Ruggs and Jerry Jeudy (who I thought was going to be awesome - shows how much I know). The pick right before JJ? Jalen Raegor, who I literally had to google. If you evaluate your entire roster based on cost-effectiveness instead of the on-field value, you're going to have the Oakland A's. Who haven't won anything other than Brad Pitt.
  12. Cap's going up a lot. I dunno why you wanna trade away your most impactful player. Maybe if you guys were squeezed, but checking spotrac, you're not. Especially considering a ton of dead cap comes off the books after this year. Don't see why you have a problem giving JJ what he's owed -- even more especially now that you aren't devoting a significant portion of the cap to a QB and likely won't be for awhile whether you like it or not.
  13. Apparently students at Durham University. And good that they do!
  14. So this was something I meant to mention earlier and forgot. There's a dude on Twitter/X - @ringwiss - that is an incredible expert on congressional/parliamentary procedure. For a long time, many guessed the person must've been literally a former parliamentarian, part of their staff, maybe a former member of leadership, or some new super AI. Turns out? It's a 20-year-old economics student at Durham University in England. HA!!! Love it! This guy can not only school all 535 members of Congress on parliamentary rules, but also the likes of Sarah Binder - one of the most foremost congressional scholars that would be on any top ten list of who knows the most about the US Congress in the world. Pretty awesome. Here's the story.
  15. Seems designed to trade up to get the fourth quarterback, whomever that may be. I agree that's stupid, but that's the best explanation I can fathom. I really don't think they're trading JJ.
  16. I don't really care. Just glad they're on the Niners schedule this year. Imagine you should be even more happy in terms of competitive advantage.
  17. Guessing you saw how Trump cleaned house upon taking over the RNC at the beginning of the week? My favorite part of all this? They only had $8 million at the new year, and almost certainly still don't have any more today.
  18. What? Making fun of where someone lives? Cuz you'd NEVER do that!
  19. Well, I don't know if Howell + 102 and 179 for 78 and 152 is much better value, but yeah. Just don't pick up his option, see how the season goes, and you'll probably get at least a 4th round comp pick when he signs with someone else next year. That's the better option. Seemed like Chicago just wanted to "do right by him," which also means not having a locker room issue. Same reason the Niners sold low on Lance.
  20. That's also inevitably gonna be quite the controversy in Pittsburgh no matter who gets the job. And those fucks love their football. Interesting decision.
  21. Yikes, indeed. I like how Lance yielded a better pick than Fields. Also like how Brock Purdy's only competition in both the 2021 and 2022 drafts when it comes to QBs is Trevor Lawrence.
  22. Well, a lot of them haven't made it explicit, but it's pretty clear the likes of Bill Barr (AG), John Bolton (NSA), John Kelly (Homeland Security Secretary and COS), James Mattis (SECDEF), Mike Esper (SECDEF), Mick Mulvaney (Acting COS), HR McMaster (NSA) are not fans. I think that's the list you're referring to. Another one of note is Alyssa Farah Griffin, who was a senior staffer in the comms department for about eight months. Anyway, again, it doesn't really matter. All of these people's misgivings have been made clear for years now.
