  1. Today
  2. How many teams are going to be interested in Volson when he's 30? Lucas Patrick? Seems to me with $30+M in cap space and a lot of questions at both Guard positions... Might be worth getting one of these guys as insurance. But who am I to question the winning ways of The Family?
  3. One thing all of these guys have in common... is that none of the other 31 teams have signed them either. That's pretty much every FA "guard" I've heard mentioned for the Bengals. The only one that lots of people mentioned that they did "miss out" on was Mekhi Becton.
  4. This doesn't look like a team trying to maximize the window for their 28 year old QB.
  5. Oh you guys think they read that thing?
  6. Good points. Yet, what I was driving at was something underlying it all--political will and culture. After all, we decide what the zoning laws are, as well as the other requirements for ordering our society. In the link I posted, it wasn't only the housing parts that made me think it worth passing on, it was the little middle section where he listed all kinds of developments that the Chinese have undertaken in the past 30 years. It's fairly astounding, if you think on it. (And not unlike the post-Civil War industrial progress of the U.S.) And the truth of it all is this: our culture is rotten. We've forgotten who we are and what we are capable of accomplishing. As T-Dub said, we prefer building Alcatraz Alley in a hurry to actually doing things motivated by the general welfare.

  7. Agree. Let's not forget that Higgins misses several games a season.
  8. Ah! didn't remember that one. Then again, I was 3! Crazy videos.
  9. Change seems to scare them into inaction. The Chase/Higgins contract negotiations seemed to take all of their off-season energy. Sometimes I think the FO just curls up in a ball in the corner when they have to look at doing a large contract.
  10. The pre-Bird/Magic/Jordan NBA. Those were the days.
  11. I've heard getting 1/2 of them to show up ready to go on stage is a miracle. Blueprint is coming through soon. Might go see Cannibal Corpse in a few months, more local shows until then. The big venues calm down when it's still 100f as the show lets out.
  12. Mike Milbury and the Bruins beat them to it.
  13. Got upcoming: Big Sean @ Red Rocks Tuesday Clipse @ Mission Ballroom next month Denzel Curry and Freddie Gibbs in October @ Red Rocks
  14. Wu Tang + Run The Jewels Friday night @ Fiddlers Green in South Denver. Full Wu Tang crew for the first time in forever.
  15. Yesterday
  16. ay where's the off-topic ninja emoji? bring back the OG set anyway the kennedys are so cursed that crazy CIA/mafia/KGB/time-traveler assassinations are only half the story
  17. Yeah, it was a classic mob hit. Hoffa was trying to get back into a leadership position in the Teamsters but the Mob and most of the Teamster leadership did not want the visibility he brought. RFK did everything he could to lock him up in the past to include a public feud. Mafia likes things to be quiet.
  18. I'm inclined to believe Frank Sheeran's account that he was stuffed in an incinerator somewhere outside Detroit, even if Sheeran wasn't actually the one that shot him. Making a former friend pull the trigger as a loyalty test does sound like their kind of logic, though.
  19. Hoffa is stuffed in a 55 gallon steel barrel somewhere near Newark Airport. Jimmy 3 Fingers Milano told me so.
  20. They did give themselves an out after next season that would "only" cost them $7.5M in dead cap. Still not convinced he's part of their long term plans.
  21. The Bengals do seem to operate on a "principle" of least change possible.
  22. The legislature's leaders seem to be planning a short summer session to override vetos. The budget bill passed with super majorities, though individual provisions might be less popular.
