Two juveniles with guns and a hair trigger go to a large drunken party to celebrate a football team. Cool and normal and no systemic changes could have possibly helped.

Mike Bloomberg and Trump both bought Super Bowl ad space in 2020…neither won that election.

Alternatively, in the last 10 Super Bowls the AFC has been represented by the Chiefs or Patriots 80% of the time.

Really ridiculous the AFC (and the Bills specifically) had to deal with Brady from 2001 - 2018 and Mahomes from 2019-unknown future. Dynasties like these shouldn’t be possible in the salary cap era but you get the right match of HC and QB and here we are.

Harbaugh is one of those coaches that can get a playoff team out of a down year though. They’re not going to be tanking for a year, maybe just lower expectations.

You know I’ve seen every other mainline Star Wars and several of the one-offs and TV shows but I never got around to this one and I haven’t really felt like I missed out.

I watched with my SO and googled it right after we finished it to see when Season 2 was coming, thinking it would be a joke “haha only 2 years to wait for the next season” and it had already been cancelled. Rough.

RIP ‘Night Sky’ with JK Simmons. What could have been.

Linebackers coaches becoming HC, so hot right now. (Him and Mayo)

That was a good article but I really wasn’t expecting it to take the turn into self reflective “there I am, jobless and fatherless” territory. I was hoping for more details on the offense and how things evolved with Mike.

3 straight 12-5 finishes in the regular season.

We talk about how unfair it is that the Lions fired Caldwell when he was 9-7 in the prior two seasons, I can’t really say that and say they SHOULD fire a guy who went 12-5 three straight seasons.

Even guaranteeing getting Belichick or Vrabel, who I agree are both better coaches than McCarthy, there would be a step back as they retool to fit the plans of those new coaches. They might not have the time.

Dak is getting a huge contract after 2024, who knows who will be a cap casualty after that. This might be the last year of peak power Cowboys.

So yes he is worse than some available coaches but also I get why they’re keeping him.

Belichick or Vrabel would be better but I know I’d have a hard time firing someone with the regular-season success of McCarthy so it doesn’t surprise me.

Pretty sure it should be “valuation”

Ravens/49ers earned it but I’m rooting for Bills/Lions Super Bowl

Scalping isn’t the comparison though because 1, scalpers don’t reduce the total supply. Any scalper who refuses to sell a portion of their tickets, loses all the money they used to buy them, and the opportunity cost of selling them, and there’s no way it’s worth it for any given individual. The supply/demand differential they make money from is that the venues only have a certain number of seats.

Which brings me to 2, theres no equivalent of homebuilders in the scalper world. If some scalpers could generate new seats at the venue for roughly the cost they pay the venue for tickets, supply and demand would figure themselves out pretty quick.

Hard disagree on the last part there. For one, homebuilders again. Their business model is to build the houses and then sell them, if they joined the “sell houses slower” cartel it just means they earn less profit.

But really the whole idea you’re laying out, the math only works if everyone works together, so it becomes a prisoners dilemma. Because say there’s 20 companies slowing down house sales to maximize profit, there can always be a 21st who gets the benefit of the restricted supply from the 20, but they just sell as much as possible and become the most profitable of all. Maybe it’s in everyone’s interest to restrict supply, but it’s in any given company’s interest to sell as much as possible. So it has to be an as of yet unknown cartel of every home seller in the country and there’s just too many of them to have both: Either it includes everyone or it’s secret.

I don’t really understand the market failure happening with such a long term housing shortage. By definition there is excess demand for housing right? So it should make economic sense to build more.

When I ask people always say conspiratorial stuff like “they” maximize profit by keeping housing low but even if there was a conspiracy there should be individuals who are not part of the conspiracy who would profit from going against it.

So it has to be either regulatory or funding based, I think. But I don’t know of any recent regulations that would cause this nationwide, “zoning” is probably part of it but there was no one timeline for that, it’s super local. And funding has been free for a decade and a half and homebuilding has still been slow.

I don’t get it.

I hope he does the full Vrabel where he’s a good coach who gets the most of a roster that doesn’t have enough talent to really compete. Here’s hoping the new GM sucks.

Interestingly not actually that intriguing of a spot. Mid 1st, no 2nd, bad oline, nothing exciting at QB, no cap space.

Ok that surprises me. They have a QB on a reasonable contract too.
