Nobody (or hardly anybody) buys lottery tickets as an investment strategy. They do so to buy a fantasy.

There is no dream job. The dream is not having to work.

Yeah, I drive to the state line about once a month and buy $20 worth of single line Powerball drawings.   I worked out what I spend in gas and tickets once, and decided that the dream of wealth was pleasant enough to justify the trip once a month rather than once a week, so now I buy multiple draws for the whole…

There are a million ways to save money. Not buying lottery tickets is no better or worse than most of them. You can save money not buying your lunch. Or coffee. Or going to a matinee. Not taking a vacation. Clipping coupons.

My old man used to playfully chide my neighbor for buying scratchies. Used to always say, “The lottery is a tax on people bad at math!”

It’s a good way to drink beer for four hours away from the detritus of your crumbling marriage.

Funny how you’re the one taking Jones’ perceived qualities: “fiber”, “mature”, etc and implying that those qualities don’t apply to black folks. Who’s the racist?

You can add cornering the market on dead-eyed white QBs.  It may have been because even HE knew the Giants reach, but Jones looked very Eli-like.

This was abundantly clear when ESPN was trying to sell his close relationship with the Manning family as a benefit of this pick. So dumb.

Taken right out of the Chip Kelly GM playbook

Yes. I’m also a Giants fan and I really wanted them to pick Haskins if they went QB. I think he’s going to be very good. Picking Jones over him, when Haskins was basically campaigning for the Giants’ job, came off as totally racist. Especially because Haskins has stereotypically “white” QB traits (very smart pre-snap,…

Wait someobody actually said “Real swag is no swag”? Good lord.

Jones was drafted for one reason. He was hand picked by the Manning Family to be Eli’s successor. He’s the only kid Eli would agree to mentor at all. Have you seen any of the interviews with Jones? It’s like watching Eli talk without the southern drawl. He is completely devoid of any personality whatsoever. It’s made…

Don’t forget “Deference to The Manning Clan”!

You mean that time they started a black QB on December 3, 2017 and then the coach and GM got fired on December 4, 2017? 

I didn’t get into it here, but it does not feel entirely irrelevant that the Giants were the last NFL team to start a black QB. And that was only in 2017.

“In time you’ll be very pleased,” Gettleman promised.

This bears all the hallmarks of a decision made by a John Mara-owned organization.

Hey Giants fans:  I will buy you a new life, yes I will. 

I have great difficulty understanding how pathetic one must be to go to a football stadium to watch the NFL Draft. This is the equivalent of people in the ‘90s camping out in front of their local Tower Records to be the first to buy the new album by, like, Everclear.
