re: Leavitt vs Burrow

People can be positive. But in this thread you have people comparing Sam Leavitt to both Joe Burrow and Jayden Daniels. Might be a little premature, no?


You do realize that “comparing” 2 football players isn’t the same thing as insinuating that they are equal in talent, potential, performance or whatever? “Comparing” is how you would analyze how two things are completely opposite as well as how two things are similar.

How much of the time since 2020 has Tua been concussed?


2020 - 2026

QB Games played Sacks
Justin Herbert 95 225
Baker Mayfiled 93 221
Russell Wilson 77 223
Joe Burrow 77 213
Geno Smith 69 196
Daniel Jones 70 192
Lamar Jackson 85 189

Tua Tagavailoa 78 141

As a team, the Dolphins have given up the 20th most sacks since Tua enter the league. McDaniel built his offense around Tua's accuracy in being ably to get the ball out of his hands quickly to some of the fastest playmakers at their positions in space. Tua's problem is that he's made of glass and doesn't know how to protect himself either through shitty pocket awareness or even by the way he goes to the ground after being hit.

Miami didnt get fricked by Tua, they got fricked by not protecting him and trying to change their entire offensive philosophy every season.


bullshite. McDaniel offense didn’t change and 18 other QB’s have been sacked more than Tua since he entered the league in 2020.

Back in the late 90s when UPS first became a publicly traded company, a lot of their employees became rich overnight. I was good friends with the UPS driver who did the daily deliveries to my work. Of course, I never asked how much he made, but I do know he bought a very nice house on Lake Guntersville and retired by the end of that year despite being in his early 50s


The IPO was on November 10, 1999. When UPS was a private company held only my management and directors, stock awards were about 15-30% of managements total compensation depending on the pay level. UPS stock would split every few years. Managers were strongly discouraged from ever selling the stock and the fact that it paid a great dividend, made it easy to hold on to. The IPO made a lot of multi-millionaires out of mangers who had started in the 80’s.

There's also a risk to going the JC route. Mac Marshall tried to go that route in 2014. He originally agreed to a $1.5 million signing bonus but got screwed by MLB's draft pool rules. Went to JC instead of LSU, signed for $750K the following June draft and never collected a major league paycheck. Granted NIL at LSU wasn't an option then. But there was also the possibility that he gets hurt or just never develops. As it was, the latter occurred and professional baseball does what they do.

Then again, the #2 player in that 2015 draft told MLB teams 3 years earlier that he wouldn't sign if he wasn't taken in the 1st round. He wasn't and decided to spend 3 years at LSU eventually signing for a $5.9 million bonus. He will retire with more than $300 milion in career earnings.

The answer to your question is “divorce attorneys “.

legally, you can't plead the 5th for something you have been pardoned for.


What if the honest answer to the question a witness pleads the 5th to would provide the examining attorney with information that could be used to incriminate the witness for something that wasn’t covered under a pardon?

re: Tommy Tanks 4-4 tonight

As far as I can tell, Tommy is only the 2nd player in the Modern Era to record multiple 4 hit games in the first 10 games of their career. The other was Bo Hart of the 2003 Cardinals whose 4 hit games occurred in games where he had 6 AB and 8 AB in those games. Tommy was 4-4 and 4-5 in the games where he recorded 4 hits.

Yeah well, LSU had to kickoff and Auburn got to run a play after the TD.

If he didn’t make the catch, we still had a chance to kick a game winning 39 yard FG. Colt David was perfect that night (3-3 on FG and 3-3 on PAT)
The irony is that property’s taxes are used to pay for local services - police, fire, schools, sanitation, etc… and this surcharge is being levied on the property owners that don’t reside there full time.

Meanwhile, Hakeem Jeffries pays less than $250 a year on property tax for his $1.2 million Brooklyn condo because of a tax subsidy law that he helped pass as a NY state legislator.

The DNC ought to make them run as a separate political party. You just don't let them take over, you separate from them. It's hard to believe that the many non-DSA types in the democrat party will just roll over. Or I guess they could just decide their best chances to remain politicians is to become Marxists.


That won’t happen. I don’t care if they dust off Barack Obama off and package him as a Democratic Socialist, they aren’t winning a general election as a 3rd party anytime soon. Forcing them to run as a 3rd party would just siphon votes from Democrats and put a Republican in office.
So the “Boomer men” who had worked their way up the corporate ladder to put themselves in the position to change their company’s corporate philosophy and embrace diversity didn’t do enough? They should have just resigned their positions of leadership and hand them to “non-boomers”?

LMFAO. I was a UPS driver with a college degree. UPS has very detailed reports measuring job performance every single day. Once I submitted my letter asking to be considered for a promotion to management (this was the process to migrate from being a bargaining unit, hourly employee/Teamster into management), I had several black drivers with high school diplomas, less experience and inferior performance that were promoted to supervisor before me. When I was a supervisor and my Division Manager advised me that I would be promoted to manager when the next opening came up. When it did, the District Manger was forced to promote a woman, they created a bullshite position for her and forced another manager to oversee two operations centers for several months until I was promoted.

UPS has made a conscious effort to be diverse since the 50’s. Google UPS and the March Foundation.


Started dating my wife at 29. Proposed after 7 months and married 6 months after that. Knocked her up 8 months after that. Happily married for 36 year with 3 kids.

My wife’s brother also has 3 kids with the baby mama he has knocked up 3 times in the last 25 years. She also had a son from a previous marriage that he raised as his own. They don’t even talk about getting married.

Florida ended the annual rivalry with Miami after the 1987 season. The only time Spurrier ever faced Miami was the 2000 Sugar Bowl. But he did have the fortune of playing LSU every season in the worst decade of the program’s history.

I still remember the 2000 debates between bush and gore where a huge topic was what to do with our budget surplus. A budget surplus. We’ve run up the debt about 30 trillion since then. The middle class isn’t 30 trillion richer. Wars and tax cuts are a heady combination.


1998-2001 are the only 4 years that the government ran a surplus in the last half century. Clinton was the beneficiary of the massive reduction of defense spending brought on by Reagan bringing an end to the Cold War. The MIC and the Alphabet Agencies ramped up the spending after 9/11. I’d still take Clinton over every Democratic President in my lifetime that began with Ike in the White House.
Using a hole cutter to pull a plug of healthy Bermuda to replace that little area of damage literally takes less than a minute. Most golf courses do it to every hole every day as routine maintenance. I spent the summer of ‘81 doing it starting at 6 AM before mowing the greens.
