Re: U.S. government has lost more than 10,000 STEM Ph.D.s since Trump took office

Not only were researchers jobs cut, so was research funding. It's not a complicated road map. Cancer research isn't something to play around with.
And let's be honest here, the reason were were given for a lot of research funding cuts to colleges and universities is because "they were woke" and nothing else. Please help me understand how that is a plausible reasoning for funding cuts to diseases and cancer research?

Re: Todd Monken Hired as Browns HC

How much value do you think a disgruntled DC being forced to stay under his contract is worth? They can't force the players on defense to repond to the way you are treating their coach.
The Browns can force him to stay under contract. They can't force him to be on the sidelines or at practice as the acting DC.

[s][/s]It wasn’t an attractive job because no matter what the frenzied media says or helps promote the Cleveland Browns have NO quarterback and only the smallest sliver of hope for getting one soon. This guy has a pretty decent offensive track record and adequate DCs are out there but…QBs, at least really good ones, are rare as rocking horse poop.
Show some class, release JS amicably, get the heck out of the new guys way move on.

Or the Browns could just honor his wishes and allow him to leave. Of course if they want to add insult to injury they could force JS into a marriage he hates being in. I don't see how anything productive could come from that. Just out of the kindness of their hearts!!!! If they do they would owe him $$$ for releasing him of his contract. Maybe if he forfeited that $$$ but I doubt he would do that. If another team like Pittsburg wanted to hire him do you allow him to go there for nothing? That is not good business. At some point people need to consider the long term ramifications of their actions. Let me explain what's not good business. Showing every coach on every level in the NFL that you are a team that will hire a new HC and then force a DC that doesn't want to work under the new HC to stay. They've already shown that they wanted to force a new HC to only have control of the offense and keep the current DC. That disaster didn't end well. As if the Browns didn't have enough trouble in the hiring process at HC this time, actions like that will make it even harder the next time. These people live in the business world. They understand contracts. Just like Garrett he had no real leverage. The Browns could have forced him to fulfill his contract, and they then could have franchised tagged him after that. People can yell and complain but that is business. I would expect them to work out a resolution with JS. Money talks. Ask Garrett. But if you think he is valuable you do not let value just walk out the door for nothing. Maybe a team thinks enough of him as a DC they are willing to trade a draft pick for him? Do you want to lose that opportunity. JS is angry and he has a right to be angry but at the end of the day he is a professional and he will either honor his contract or work out some kind of resolution to leave. I doubt the Browns or any other team that feels they have something of value will pay someone of value to just walk out the door. That is plain silly.

What in my post was inaccurate? Are you claiming the Nazi's didn't get due process? That there were no Nuremberg trials? Are you claiming he was threatening them with violence when all he stated is that they would be hunted down and tried in court?
I'm not even sure you know what a forest or a tree looks like.

With the hire of Monken, Carson Beck might be a guy to watch. Both had a lot of success when both were at Georgia.
Beck might be a 3-4 round target. Not sure were he might be valued but if Monken thinks Beck is a potential good fit, we might draft him.

And he's leaving anyway.  Honestly, if you could turn back the clock and draw up the worst-case scenario when considering firing Stefanski, we're watching it right now. Pretty much. Jimmy should have fired beady-eyed Berry. The fallout of this is losing Schwartz. Now we have both sides of the ball to fix, if in fact Schwartz leaves. Sometimes initial reactions change after a few days, but I have a feeling they won't in this case. The happenings over this last month or two have cemented a feeling I have milled around for the last couple of years. After 19 seasons as a season ticket holder I am not going to renew for a 20th year. lol...See comment above about initial reactions. There are a lot of reasons involved, not all football related. When I first got them, I was traveling up to 5-6 games a year for several years and figured I might as well get season tickets. 20 some years later I am going up to maybe 4 games a year. Might as well just go back and buy tickets online.
