Yea, 2008 was due to companies giving out loans to people who could not afford monthly payments. Rates were insane too.

If/when Watson traded to Carolina, Teddy is going to SF. The 49ers have reached out to the Panthers about a potential trade for Teddy Bridgewater. The Niners' interest in Bridgewater doesn't necessarily mean they're keen on replacing Jimmy Garoppolo as the team's starter. 49ers general manager John Lynch has said the team needs to upgrade its backup QBs as to avoid a lost season if or when the oft-injured Jimmy G is sidelined. Carolina is among the leaders in the Deshaun Watson sweepstakes, making Bridgewater expendable if a team has a solid offer for the veteran. There's almost no chance Bridgewater starts for Carolina in 2021.

I need to decide if it’s worth it. My job might prevent me from attending most games.

The Boston Globe's Ben Volin reports Patriots coach Bill Belichick "has done nothing but rave" about QB Cam Newton this offseason. Newton battled through COVID, learned a new offense without a traditional offseason, and picked up a few wins for the Patriots in 2020 so it's not surprising that Belichick has a healthy amount of respect for the veteran passer. The real question is if that respect turns into another shot at starting for Newton, who is currently a free agent. Reports from earlier in the offseason indicated that a return to New England was unlikely but subsequent news has painted a much more optimistic picture for Newton. The Patriots have the 15th overall pick which may not be enough to land them the caliber of QB prospect they want. If that's the case, using the draft and free agency to give Newton some better weapons to work with seems plausible. The former Panther threw more interceptions than touchdowns last year but his top two receivers were both UDFAs with a combined seven starts before 2020. Newton may not be as physically gifted as he was in Carolina but building up a project QB via the draft doesn't seem to be in the cards for the 68-year-old head coach. Newton has a real shot at opening 2021 as New England's starter and would be an intriguing fantasy option because of his running ability.

Yea, not sure what Tepper is smoking.

Houston might have no QB, RBs, WRs and bad online They cut Duke Johnson and their starting C Martin. They also debating on cutting David Johnson. Their first pick this year is in 3rd round. Yikes. Houston Chronicle's Aaron Wilson reports the Texans want to keep David Johnson for 2021 but at a lower salary. Johnson is set to make $8.5 million in 2021, but the Texans can save $6.4 million against the cap by releasing him. If D.J. became a free agent, he certainly wouldn't sign for more than the $8.5 million he's scheduled to make, so it makes sense for the two parties to agree to a paycut and enter the season as the unquestioned starter. Assuming Johnson returns, he'll have RB2 appeal if Deshaun Watson stays and doesn't sit out. If Watson is traded or sits out, Johnson will struggle for top-24 production. He's a classic boom-bust RB2/3 in early fantasy drafts with Duke Johnson out of the way. The Texans' first pick in the 2021 NFL Draft isn't until Round 3, so Johnson is unlikely to face rookie competition next year. It all comes down to Watson's situation.

I think this might be the case. Once inventory increases, prices will drop.

Yea, it’s insane. Not sure how long this can go for.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports "no one believes" Deshaun Watson will be traded. That's via sources "knee deep" in the situation. Rapsheet appears to be referring to teams that might be interested in acquiring the elite young quarterback. Rapoport also reports the Texans do not view either the start of free agency or the draft as "any sort of deadline." Rapsheet believes the drama will last for a "very, very long time." That is consistent with the established facts, as each side continues to dig in, both out in the open and via leaks. Looks like we’ll be drafting a QB.

Kelvin Benjamin is back!!!

Superintendent just received a 3% pay raise and new contract on his $300k salary. No way I could accept that after firing 200+ of my employees.

I’m building a new house right now. Signed a contract 5 months ago. Talking about timing...

I think record low rates and low inventory. Also tons of people moving from Chicago, NY and CA to Charlotte and willing to pay inflated prices.

Good lord.... did you guys see home prices sky rocket? Some average homes around 3k sqft on sale for $600k. What is happening? Examples... Ballantyne $550k for 2.7k https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/10904-Lethco-Way-Charlotte-NC-28277/6316377_zpid/ Waxhaw $600k for 3.3k https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1300-Iveyridge-Dr-Waxhaw-NC-28173/51464731_zpid/

This makes me sick. I’ll go buy something on Amazon to make me feel better.

I’d say great choice

That’s usually means his legs are done and he might have to learn how to walk again. I’ve seen wrecks like that before and they never good.

Damn... where the engine go.
