What do you think the optimal situation is? My guess is that we want them to stick with this core for at least another 1 to 2 years. If they are still trying in the 2027-8 season that would be great. If it fails and they start rebuilding a year before that, maybe even better.

Is there a real Drum resurgence or is it a mirage?

Based only on the small sample to date, what's your best guess about how VJ's career will develop? What is the highest upside you could see? How about the average outcome?

Of course it can't possibly, but if everything went absolutely perfectly health-wise, vets got back to form, and young players continued to improve, would you make some trades to switch away from a 3-max setup? What would that look like?

I wish I thought to jot down their career PER or WAR or something but this is something. Obviously this sample is way too small to draw any meaningful conclusion but very fun anyhow!

Wow! I looked up all those guys and of the 14 non-VJ players on the list here is how they turned out:

Elite/HOF: 9
Very good, not HOF: 1 (John Drew)
Good, not great: 4
Mirage/Bust: 0

Malthurin is too soon to say but I put him in "Good, not great" for now.

I am curious to hear what the alleged political motivations of the FBI raid were. In his version, why did they target him? Simpler explanation: he engaged in broad ethical misconduct, it was wise for the public integrity unit to investigate, and they may have charged him had he stayed in office.

Would Jack have voted against the Stadium deal? Seems unlikely based on his record but now I am curious!

When he was running for Mayor in 2014, he was meeting with an endorsement committee I was on so I asked him how his views had changed as a result of economists finding that trickle-down economics doesn't actually work. His answer: "My view hasn't changed at all".

That's a great question. I am not sure if they directly enforce or merely enforce the laws from which the code is derived (a bit like regs).

I am pretty frustrated about the Grimes result. Do you buy the argument that it is to save Josh Harris money? How do we get rid him? I am still mad about Hinkie, Isaiah Joe, and now giving up on a good (maybe very good) player and leaving him without a tradeable contract.

Thanks, AG Schwalb! And all the CMs who worked on the bill.

Make sure to send a letter explaining why! The letter is more important than the cancellation.

If the value continues to rise dramatically, at what point would you trade it to lock in a high value and reduce the risk that the investigation results in penalties less than expected and the value a lot?

Yeah, there was a still showing the ball having already broken the plane before any part of Hurts was down.

Sounds like the kind of thing Big Dom could get the stadium officials to handle.

I think he made the first down because he originally was on the defender without a body part touching the turf. Looked to me like they spotted it about a yard, maybe half a yard short and it should have been a first down.
