Typical barely legible word salad from you when you try to present yourself as semi-intelligent. It's like a Kamala Harris speech rambling on about the passage of time. Cincinnati actually did some legwork on this. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wlwt.com/amp/article/cincinnati-bengals-paycor-stadium-deal-price-renovations/43636202 They found that the average cost of NFL stadium renovations $600-$850M. Their owner is saying a billion. So Tepper is basically asking for roughly 50-100% over average and 20% more than what the Bengals are quoting Cincinnati. Again, the number seems high. But there's pockets to line when you're fleecing municipalities.

Cool. Bring him in and let him compete.

https://www.si.com/nfl/2016/01/19/st-louis-rams-san-diego-chargers-economics Peter Von Allmen, president of the North American Association of Sports Economists: There is no proof that hosting an NFL franchise leads to a substantial positive economic impact. Victor Matheson, sports economist and professor at College of the Holy Cross: Generally the economics literature, people who have studied this who are not connected with the league, we can almost never find any tangible economic benefits with bringing an NFL team to town or with building new stadiums. Brad Humphreys, sports economist and professor at the University of West Virginia: There is no evidence in any peer-reviewed scholarly journal that a professional football team will generate any tangible positive economic impact on a city. There is no evidence that the departure of a football team ever harmed a city's economy.

Oh well. If it was my call I'd be like

The wealthy elite ALWAYS win in economic downturns. That's when they can further concentrate wealth and holding just now at a sweet discount! A David Tepper could lose 99.9% of his net worth and STILL be a multimillionaire.

Yeah. The number is still absurd for a renovation. And likely why it's being pushed for now. Get those numbers locked in before a likely recession drives down the ultimate cost and cash in on the good will of our shiny new #1 overall QB.

I don't see how they're gonna spend the equivalent of damn near top dollar for a modern new stadium and NOT put a dome over BOA. There's gonna be serious fat involved in the project to line the appropriate pockets, but damn... you're still going to have to do some MAJOR work to justify 10 figures of spending on paper.

Economic studies have shown that public spending on stadium projects is a terrible "investments" and essentially amounts to a handout to billionaires. Something feels extremely grifty about the numbers involved too. Jerryworld cost $1.4B to build in '04 and was considered wildly extravagant at the time. The Falcons' new stadium cost $1.6B. You're telling me you need $1.2B just to RENOVATE our current stadium? I call BULLSHIT.

As if there isn't more than enough evidence already to show that he's a mythical 30 foot anaconda?

Yeah, what intrigued me about Wilson was basically the polar opposite of Bryce Young. Wilson had that hose and the ability to throw ropes on the run. The guy had extremely intriguing arm talent.

Yeah, a good buddy of mine in HS was wild and crazy as hell but good as gold. Like a wild man who'd do anything on a dare but had a good heart. Anyway, I got a call when I was a sophomore in college that Danny had been in a car wreck. Well, no poo. That's like a weekly occurrence. No, this one's bad. He'd gone airborne and snapped a telephone pole on half basically with his skull. He survived but he just wasn't the same person. Probably cost him 30 IQ points and he had minimal control over his emotions. He had a hair trigger temper that just didn't exist prior to the accident. He didn't have a mean bone in his body before that. Take that and add millions of dollars and you get the current version of Antonio Brown.

I honestly can't remember any talk of him being crazy before that.

I want 10 wins. 10-7 with competent QB play from our rookie clearly shows me we're going the right direction.

Is it half the size of a normal one?

They're sweet as can be, but damn those heart issues. Hope yours live long and happy.

Is that a King Charles Spaniel?

I'm saying it validates what I always said about that class. It's a fairly standard QB class and everyone was acting like it was atrocious because it lacked guys who were viewed as elite top tier prospects. An atrocious class wouldn't have 3-4 guys expected to start in year two. That fanbase and locker room in DC will revolt if Brissett starts over Howell

Which coincides perfectly with what I said about last year's QB class. It stacked up pretty much on par with recent history outside of having any guys considered slam dunk top tier prospects. Which of those descriptions seems more accurate with 3-4 guys likely to start in year two? What I said or "atrocious"? The NFL undervalued that class.

How many teams starting second year QBs are ever considered contenders? 3-4 QBs penciled in as starters going into the second season is pretty damn good.

I treating it's still considered an "atrocious" QB class when there are at least three QBs drafted last year who are almost certainly going to be starting this year and quite possibly four depending on what the Pats do with Mac Jones.

It looks like it's eyes are starting to open. It's up to 200g now. Almost doubled in weight.

Yeah, this.

It's just physics, man. It's all velocity, mass, energy, and bullet type. If we're talking FMJs then they don't expand, period. If we're talking about an expandable, hollow point type of bullet them they're all going to expand in a human sized target. There's a lot of mythology around the .223/5.56 round but if it was true the military wouldn't be moving away from it to a larger, more powerful round despite the ammo capacity reducing weight penalty that comes along with that move. You see this type of mythology in the long range shooting world. Guys absolutely convinced there's something magical about 6.5mm projectiles that allows them to have a flatter trajectory. No, there just happens to be a lot of heavy for caliber, low ballistic coefficient bullets commercially available in that caliber. There's nothing magical about that specific diameter of projectile.

It seems like people have been fleeing Michigan for years. I swear there was a time about a decade ago in CO when every third person you met had just moved here from Michigan.

The physics of ball flight change from college to the NFL? We're talking about tracking the ball here.
