They had to because the GB player was so flagrant in the hold. It was just a stupid decision because Johnson was hoping to get held there. If he doesn't hold him its probably incomplete. But King played a terrible game and his coverage on Miller to end the half was idiotic. That being said there were several holds on Tampa that werent called. Id have to see 3rd and goal again, but I felt Rodgers could have run for it. I also think they should have gone for it on 4th down.

I imagine that is why he wont be commanding a long term contract worth a lot of money. But he very well could outperform his contract next year and that is really what matters.

Double post

In the last few minutes the worst two plays (decisions) were by Coby White on the offensive charge and Lauri on the 3 he jacked up early in the possession. On the Coby play the defense crashed, there were at least 3 guys in the paint and he just forced it when he wasnt even that close to the basket. A lot of people have invested heavily in knocking Lavine. So when the game goes against the Bulls he is the problem.

You going to take your Lavine hateto the grave. Every player does some dumb shit, but for most of the game he was at 2 points per shot, which is insanely efficient. He didnt lose that game.

Ah ok, in OT its been a brick show besides for Lavine's last 3. And he almost just won it, even though Denzel Washington almost ran into him.

I think Lavine took 1 shot in OT. The problem is he isnt shooting enough.

The problem is that besides for Lavine the rest of the team isnt shooting well. White and Lauri are both under 50%. They are 12-32, Lavine is 10-17.

Yes, right now certain taxpayers can only deduct $4,000 for college expenses (some cannot take any deduction). This would increase it to 50,000 per year for the next 10 years and it would remove any income limitation. It would also allow someone like Soxnfins to deduct his expenses over the next 10 years. That way people who paid off their college get the exact same benefit as other people who have yet to pay it off. And its something I thought up myself over the last year haha. I just was trying to figure out a way to make it fair for both the person who paid off their loans and for the person who has not. The other concern I have about paying off loans is that there will be a lot of people who feel it is unfair because they didnt go to college (or went to a cheaper college) because they didnt want to take the economic risk. If they knew all of their loans would have been forgiven maybe they would have gone to college because their would have been no risk.

I think this issue could really cause some problems for a variety of reasons. My proposal that I think would be palatable to most people is: 1) student loans can be discharged in bankruptcy and 2) college education expenses deduction is increased to 50,000 per year and it retroactively can be used by any living person for the next 10 years. Therefore if you paid off your student loans last year, you can still get full deductibility up to an amount of 500,000.

If you've never ordered a cheese fry and used some of the cheese on your beef, have you really lived?

You dont need to be an insider to understand why Kluber makes sense for the Sox. They wont have to shell out a long term deal and they can overpay for a 1-2 year deal.

They arent just moving a player, they are moving a top end player. Not only that, they swapped Wall for Westbrook to appease that top end player. And that is looking worse by the day. You have to give some of these players a chance under Donovan. I have been pessimistic on LaVine for years, but all of a sudden he seems to have found another level.

The only team that got picks was the Rockets. And I want no part of what that franchise has done.

Which part of the deal are you wanting to take advantage of?

I dont think Oladipo is a transcendent star. He is a good player, but Brogdan surpassed him. FA is weak next year. Bulls could definitely try and swing a trade though.

Besides for Leonard what star is out there next year?

So basically demote Pace and take away all his personnel decision making? Then what is the point of keeping him. Getting a work in progress QB is a fools errand. Lets just assume Robinson is gone, you are looking at one of the worst WR groups in the NFL. Kmet looks decent, Montgomery is good, but that is it on offense. Winston last played with 2 Pro Bowl receivers. It seems extremely unlikely that he somehow could get better with the Bears WRs. There was only one path, and that was to trade for whatever picks you can get. Trade down in this years draft to try and get as many picks next year. Use these 2 years to completely restock the system. Youd also would have 2-3 years to find the right QB. Im not really sure how Pace can pull that plan off. And if your hiring someone to be his "superior" as in a new President, why wouldnt you hire the new President and then let him pick his own people. Or let him decide on Pace? Otherwise its just all backwards.

Isnt the problem that by keeping Pace you have incentivized him to win now instead of hiring someone else who wouldnt mortgage the future? I cant imagine Pace trading down, accumulating picks etc.

Let me tell you the tale of Edwin Jackson, the white whale of prospects. Its easy to fall in love with the green grass on the other side of the fence.

Colome also is a free agent. So its not like the Sox were guaranteed to keep him. You cant even begin to judge the decision until we see the deal Colome gets. Then its a question of was the difference worth the cost. People are acting like the Sox were entitled to Colome.

Bad decision. They should be tearing it down, trading down for more picks next year etc. Try and time it for 3 years frim now when Rodgers is hopefully looking for something else to do.

With Liz Cheney's most recent statement it looks like Trump will definitely be the 1st President impeached twice and he is angling to be the first one ever convicted.

This idea presupposes that the Republican party will never be able to convince the majority of Americans to vote for it. Should we really be legislating based on the idea that one party isnt trying to gain more voters? In my lifetime CA, IL and NY all have had Republican Governors and Texas has had a Democrat. We should be creating rules that are fair, not that are to try and fix perceived issues for one party or the other. If PR/DC want to be states, they should have that right, irrespective of what way they may vote today or tomorrow.

I dont believe the people of DC want to be a part of Maryland and also Maryland doesnt want DC.
