What he needed to do was turn a blind eye to a coach beating his wife. That’s a sure fire way to be a hero in Ohio!

What is the union willing to give up to eliminate the tag? That's the only way it's gone, if the players negotiate and offer something back. The owners won't eliminate it to be nice guys. 

Which is worse, the Times has discovered NoKo sites that this administration doesn’t know about, or this administration knows about them and is doing nothing?

No Senator, it's nothing like that. In fact, what you're asking is for Florida to violate it's own law.

Gurley was also in a much different position. He was in the last year of his rookie deal, and as a first round pick, the team could hold him with a fifth year option. Then hold him two more years with a franchise tag. While he signed a four year extension, the team can get out if it in four years without much pain, or…

It's good to be the king. The owners will say the players should be happy they get the opportunity to play for the title. When the owners say it's about business, it's really about the sport. When they say it's about the game, it's really about the money. 

Yes, but take it in context. 30 years ago, there was essentially no free agency. Players could take what the team that held their rights (so, mostly who drafted then) for what the team offered them, or not play. There were a few years of the USFL, etc, but really there was no choice. The Union essentially traded one…

Yep. I mean, it sucks to be Bell, but I don't fault the Steelers approaching it this way. Get all the best years out of a RB with a rookie deal and a tagged year or two.

Flat rate. It depends on round, seeding, and winning. Each round, the “bonus” goes up. Eagles past year each got $107k, Pats $53k for the Superbowl. Plus what they got each round. First round is about $25k per player, and goes up from there.

I don’t have a problem with Bell doing what he thinks is best for himself, but I think sitting out the entire season wasn’t in his best interest. I know he wanted to preserve his body, but I think the best way to make big money next off-season was to show, play well, and stay healthy this season.

As the public employees in Wisconsin found out, agreements for future pension payments are at the mercy of the future elected officials to some degree.

I can't wait for the Trump towers at Amazon hq to go up!

With Nielsen out, not surprised Kelly is too. Guessing Mattis is next. Zinke may have finally got caught grifting hard enough he'll be out too. Just think, as bad as these selections were, their replacements will somehow be worse.

With all the banking and insurance companies either based, or with huge presence, there's a lot of white collar and IT in the City. It's certainly not Seattle or NY (mostly just by total population) but it's come a long way from being a steam engine repair center.

I don't understand either selection. I was expecting something in Texas or maybe around Atlanta. Why go to a city with a high cost of living and expensive real estate? The only argument I see is availability of talent, but someplace like Columbus Ohio or Pittsburgh PA have alot of white collar talent, with lower…

There’s a way to stop it, it doesn’t require a do nothing Congress, and you note it in the article. Elections. Sure, Scott Walker was crappy for alot of reasons, but that deal was one of them.

I knew as soon as he got home, and Faux News explained to him that Macron was insulting him on Sunday, the tweets would come out.

I've made similar comment. Remember when Dubya was the most embarrassing thing the Republicans did?

I read it as "she's not interested in doing the traditional duties of the first lady, and if she wants a second opinion, she'll just ask a yes-woman on her staff "

She was as cruel as the law almost allowed, and Trump fired her for not doing all the illegal cruelty he demanded.
