I think it comes down to “take the best player unless you think there’s a franchise QB”. Rookie deals (even a #1 overall) are so cheap that getting it wrong shouldn’t be a huge setback, especially if you’re so bad that you’re drafting high in the first place.

Wouldn’t be the first time the Seahawks have struggled to close out the last two.

One of these things is not like the other.

In Canada also but I think it’s either crazy long term debt masquerading as low monthly payments or leasing (also with low payments).

Step 2: don’t be unattractive.

Can we give it a rest with the “girl barred due to leggings” thing? They were on passes and not dressed professionally, which is absolutely grounds for barring them.

I think you screwed up your metaphor. A van is practical, but will lead to no enjoyment. Rice, bread, and water are cheap and effective (practical) but not enjoyable.

I’m not sure if people just haven’t experienced it but cargo space is really not the major issue. Carseats are freaking enormous now. I tried the infant one (my little guy is now in a bigger seat) in VWs, Subarus, Hondas, Kias, & Toyotas and so few models can take one behind my driving position. A big trunk is a…

I’m in a similar boat, my seven month old (or rather his new car seat) no-longer fits behind the passenger seat of my compact with enough legroom for anyone over 5'6". After a few dealer visits, the first choice seems to be a Subaru Outback. Interior and cargo space are great, MPG is ok (would have liked a hybrid…

He is a “distraction”, not for the players on the roster though. The only things teams want to see discussed in the media are:

As you guessed, I’m not in US but I definitely get the mountain of emails issue. I took three weeks in March and it took almost as long to catch up when I got back. Giving it up for free seems like an extreme way to mitigate that risk though.

I don’t know, I’m from a soccer-obsessed country, and the relegation aspect has, to me, been a negative. The risks are too big. My local team dropped out of the EPL (after a long run) and the club has spiraled downward ever since.

Care may be a strong word, but I’m interested why you (or anyone) would waive vacation, that I assume (because I’m on a roll here) you took time to at least discuss, if not actually negotiate.

Really? Why the hell would you negotiate that (or have it negotiated for you), and then just not bother?

Maybe the owners should raise this next time they negotiate a CBA? Bad teams practice more in the offseason is not a terrible way to increase parity and on field product quality. Of course, the teams would have to give something up in return.

Because the players and owners negotiated and agreed to it. You can’t just say “I don’t care” and do it anyway. I assume you happily waive your vacation days at work?

Nothing guarantees a Super Bowl victory like starting offseason practices seven days early.

26 game and no offseason? So a bye week every second week? I wouldn’t be in favour but it seems a little too kind to the labour for a Trump EO. 

At the moment the ball is played, the shooter is, at worst, level with the passer.

What exactly is his point? If we agree, for arguments sake, that climate change is a natural phenomenon, he doesn’t maintain that it’s not happening just that it isn’t caused by us. What does he want the person who receives his card to do after reading it? Expose the conspiracy? Go buy a monster truck for the morning…
