He absolutely does have to get out of the way. It’s interference and even if it was unintentional the batter can be ruled out and runners don’t advance.

What characteristics did Anthony Richardson have to get drafted top 10?

Being athletic?

Richardson also posseses elite arm talent. So does Nussmeier. NFL teams will take a chance on athletes like Richardson who can make plays with their feet while continuing to improve their ability to read defenses and their decision making process. Nussmeier still needs to improve his decision making to make up for his inability to make plays with his feet.

RFK Jr. strikes me as the kind of guy that could trigger his own brand of derangement syndrome in Democrats.

No shite. Saban had a pipeline of WR from South Florida with Amari Cooper, Calvin Ridley, Jerry Jeudy…The best freshman in the nation last year was a WR from my HS - Jeremiah Smith. Florida always has plenty of skill position players that want to leave the state to play college football.

She's an idiot. She's all for lowering interest rates so so she can act like another politician that "creates jobs" and increases wages......completely oblivious to the affect it has on inflation.

re: The social security tax cap is going to be lifted before 2033.

Posted by LSU82BILL on 4/18/25 at 3:17 pm

Congress needs to find a way to offset that like giving high earners who forego social security benefits favorable capital gains tax breaks.

Makes perfect sense.. ya go outta high school or if not you know your in college for a few years it's not that difficult.

Or you can go the JUCO route and you are eligible every June. Back in the day there was a January draft in addition to the June draft. It was for HS graduates not currently enrolled, JUCO players or D-1 players who dropped out. I played in HS and JC with a guy that wasn't drafted out of HS but was drafted 4 times in JC and after his Jr. year at UNO before he eventually signed.

re: Zac Cowan vs. Chase Shores as starter

Posted by LSU82BILL on 4/18/25 at 1:50 pm

If Shores can't get the job done, find another Sunday starter. You don't sacrifice your lights out closer to upgrade your #3 starter. I remember when the Marlins selected Bryan Harvey and his $4 million contract in the 1993 expansion draft. The move didn't seem to make sense. He was their highest paid player and only All Star. The justification was, the Marlins weren't going to win a lot of fames but they were going to make damn sure that they won the games where they had a late lead. They went 64-98 but Harvey saved 45 of those wins. Ironically, the Marlins had another reliver on that team - Trevor Hoffman who retired as the all time MLB saves leader.

lol bullshite, talk about lying. Literally 25k steps is over 2 straight hours of walking at a steady pace When you hear people talk about how much walking is involved at Disney, it’s roughly 25k steps You are not getting that with yard work.

My wife and I walk every morning for about 55 minutes. It’s about 2.8 miles and roughly 6,200 steps for me and about 6,400 for her. I usually get 12,000-15,000 a day. Days I walk, do yard work and more around the house may get me close to 20,000. FWIW, I logged 4,704,433 steps in 2024.
