I think the point stands. From what I can tell, nobody on the J6 Committee even asked for a pardon. None of them have been found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt for anything, unlike guys like Torrio, for instance.
To be honest with you, I don’t think Biden should have issued pardons for them. I think the whole pardoning process has been abused left and right and up and down from its initial intent.
I actually think Biden issuing the pardons did Trump a favor. If DOJ went after everyone on the committee, I think it would have looked like quite the politically motivated ish show to most objective voters, at least.

Highlights of a prospect are just that.
You see what he can do really well. I know for a fact that scouts want to see that.
What does he look like at his very best? Then you can watch tape and see where he has struggled.
When you watch Milroe at his best. He looks better than the other guy's best. He has a powerful arm with a quick release. He can throw the deep ball well. He can throw it to any place on the field.
When he decides to run. He jumps off the screen. He is like Michael Vick and Lamar except better as a pure runner.
Vick and Lamar are scramblers with speed. Milroe is different, He is a running back with speed. He runs like a tailback.
He has the instincts, vision, speed and power.
If he can refine his play at playing the quarterback position. He will be unstoppable. His ceiling is sky high.
There are many nuances to playing quarterback. The ability to slow the game down and make the right decision is what makes elite play.
Milroe is not at that point - yet. To get to that stage he needs development and experience.
If all the quarterbacks in this draft were to reach their highest potential. Milroe would stand alone at the top.

Didn’t say that, don’t put words in my mouth. Women using public bathrooms need locked doors, or gender neutral 3rd options, not discrimination and hate to solve a NON problem. Again, show me one criminally prosecuted case where a tranny transgressed against a woman in the bathroom? Most trannies are NOT MAGA and actually try to be kind. They know they are different, they’re just not ashamed of it.

I don't know- his supported didn't care about his felonies, nor his interference with the election in Georgia, or J6--- I'm just wondering where I need to go to get all the Presidential goodies that Trump hawks-- examples--"Donald Trump has pursued merchandising opportunities in ways no other presidential candidate or president-elect ever has. Indeed, it’s been difficult to keep up with the ridiculous line of products, from including everything from Trump-branded watches to silver Trump commemorative coins, batches of digital trading cards to Trump-branded guitars, gold sneakers to Trump-endorsed Bibles."
Where do we get Biden, Obama, Bush bibles, coins, trading cards, etc....does the government have a site to buy their stuff---- NOPE, the greatest President ever- Trump- ask him--- he's the ONLY one hawking crap.....dang, he is SO PRESIDENTIAL. Help us Lord. They all voted for ME-ME-ME… horrible people IMO. And I can’t wait until they wake up and see he was talking about Him, Him, and Him. Plus the bugger plutocrats. And a certain poster that likes to act like he’s loaded will be the biggest cryer of them all. My empty cup of MAGA tears is standing back and standing by…/

Vivek Ramaswamy to leave DOGE and launch a run for Ohio governor Henry J. Gomez Mon, January 20, 2025 at 7:47 PM EST3 min read WASHINGTON — Vivek Ramaswamy will launch a campaign for governor in Ohio early next week and is parting ways with President Donald Trump’s incoming Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, two sources familiar with his plans told NBC News. Ramaswamy’s interest in seeking office in his home state is not a surprise. But his decision to leave DOGE now removes him from the high command of a federal spending watchdog group that he was supposed to run with Elon Musk, the billionaire Tesla CEO and owner of X. “He’s leaving DOGE. He’s going to announce early next week for governor,” said one of the sources, who was granted anonymity to discuss preparations for a campaign that has not officially launched. “It became increasingly clear over the last week that pursuing the governor’s race and running DOGE was not compatible. He’s leaving on good terms with Trump, Elon and the team.” A post on X issued Monday morning around the time that Ramaswamy's departure from DOGE became public, underscored how abruptly he was pivoting away from one of Trump's top priorities. "A new dawn," Ramaswamy posted alongside a photo of him with Musk. In a statement, Trump transition spokesperson Anna Kelly praised Ramaswamy for having played a "critical role" in establishing DOGE. "He intends to run for elected office soon, which requires him to remain outside of DOGE based on the structure that we announced today," Kelly added. "We thank him immensely for his contributions over the last 2 months and expect him to play a vital role in making America great again!” Ramaswamy, a wealthy biotech entrepreneur, briefly challenged Trump for the Republican presidential nomination last year before he became one of his most visible and vocal allies. He had said he was putting his Ohio political ambitions on hold to help lead the DOGE effort. At the time, Ramaswamy was taking himself out of the running for the appointment to the Senate vacancy in Ohio left by Vice President-elect JD Vance. But Ramaswamy resurfaced as a late contender for that job, meeting last week with Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, who eventually selected Lt. Gov. Jon Husted. That move quickly upended the 2026 race for governor, as Husted was considered a leading candidate to succeed DeWine, a fellow Republican, who is term-limited. Two other GOP officials with statewide name recognition — state Attorney General Dave Yost and state Treasurer Robert Sprague — were already plotting their own bids for governor. And Ramaswamy’s signals last week that he was about to join them only accelerated their preparations. Ramaswamy mingled with Ohio Republicans at their inaugural ball here Sunday night. But he left conspicuously early, according to three attendees, who were granted anonymity to share details of a private event. His appearance struck these Republicans as unusually perfunctory for someone about to launch a campaign for governor. “He can’t bother to spend more than 45 minutes with 1,400 of the most influential Republicans in Ohio,” a GOP leader in the state said. “It’s next-level arrogance.” A Ramaswamy adviser did not respond to a question about his appearance. On the Democratic side, Amy Acton, a physician who was DeWine’s health director during the early days of Covid, has declared her candidacy for governor. https://www.yahoo.com/news/vivek-ramaswamy-leave-doge-launch-190310455.html

So do you think the FO, which the HC is not a part of, has an analytics department and a scouting department they pay millions of dollars to and are professional experts at those skills, only to defer to the HC on such matters?
See, that's where I'm at. A HC is heavily involved with the team on an every day basis. In creating a game plan week by week based on his opponent. Installing that game plan. Now I'm sure that the FO asks him how players are doing. If they're coming along and if he thinks players fill the role he has in mind for them. What type of or style of player he needs at different positions.
But beyond that you have a scouting department that gets paid to evaluate players 52 weeks a year. You have an analytics department full of statistics and number crunchers who specialize in exactly that.
I think there is clearly a line at where a HC's input ends and professionals who have been hired to specialize in doing their part picks up. Here’s the thing. The analytics and the scouting department provide hard facts. Second hand information. Stats. Personal background information. Scouting stats like numbers from the combine a s o. When it was time for the final decision I assume that the owner asked the GM and the HC for their recommendation and then they made a joint decision where Jimmy had the decisive vote regarding the size of the contract. The tragic failure the Browns FO, the analytics and the scouting department did was to totally ignore the mental and the psychological aspects. Either by incompetence or plain arrogance. It’s in this stage of the process Berry’s and Stefanski’s inexperience and lack of common sense is shining through and that’s why I don’t fully trust them.

I purchased a set of books for my mom a few years back, the Poldark series. I looked on Amazon, Ebay, slick deals, etc. I looked all over google shopping and found an english bookstore that was a $100 better than the best deal, and they shipped them for $12. Funny enough, had I just switched country on amazon, the deals were all there, just not covered by US prime delivery. All these big websites have different versions for different countries. There are deals to be had all over if you are willing to dig deep. Problem is, between shipping costs and trust issues, sometimes you are just better off paying more. Same with rando US websites. Get a trust score before you buy. Else, you will eventually be scammed.

Re: The "Remember When"? thread.....

You forgot the $5 cup of latte once or twice a day. That one, I'll never understand. I drink coffee. I drink it black. At home. If I think I might want coffee after I leave my house, I take a small THERMOS® with me. The only times I've ever spent money at a Starbucks outlet is at an I-80/90 rest plaza. Always, the same order: "Coffee. Black. That size [points to cup stack matching Clem's desired volume]." It gets me what I want, with a minimum of dialogue... and I don't need to learn a second language to get my caffeine fix. Starbucks: the perfect example of the power of marketing: giving consumers permission to spend outrageous money on unhealthy luxuries that they've been convinced are daily necessities. People are dumb. .02 For a while, Starbucks wasn't a terrible value if I was running late and a stop for food/beverage was needed on the way to work. Breakfast sandwich and a coffee for not much more than $5... and there has been two times now that the local SB's couldn't be any more on my way to work. I was laughing at your dialogue. Here's mine. Oober: "Good morning... I'll have a sausage breakfast sandwich and a medium coffee... black." Cashier: "a Grande coffee?" Oober, but slightly annoyed: "No. Medium."

Decisions that people make is the point. In this case, while women and on field decisions don't seem to mesh, they do in the sense that they are both bad decisions. So you use the same decision making process with women that you do with everything else? Personally, below the waist plays a lot less influence in decisions where women aren't involved. His previous "bad decisions" were in a specific realm that they took steps to change and they attempted to insulate the contract from any problems in that area. I don't deny that the decision to trade for and pay Watson has proven to be the wrong one. But you're using information from now that wasn't available when the decision was made. I also believe they are separate issues rather than connected as you seem to paint them. And what decisions on the field were the bad decisions? Honestly, I think the problem was more indecision and lack of confidence. Missing throws. They weren't bad decisions so much as slow decisions and likely, results were further complicated by diminished ability due to the additive effect of multiple injuries.

Re: Cavs/NBA 2.0

What we think works and has worked did not last night. Not to panic and read too much into one lopsided loss. But, by the same token, let us not ignore the dynamic the loss exposed. It was a blowout, and our defense went from bad to worse. We didn't change or challenge a lot of shots , shots they made. The number of rebounds they got at both ends was favorable. The offense off our missed shots and turnovers hurt. Hindsight is too easy; we have some people getting extended minutes who lack production. We have a couple of ball hogs who will force their shot. Not everyone should be shooting the number of threes that we have in outr last two losses IMO. But we didn't hustle well last night. We need to stop pretending we are all snipers and pressure the paint. Cavs must know what to do, because they have done it. Improve the mix on the floor.

Some of those games were picture perfect, too, like the Bengals night game in 2020. The Titans game. Cowboys game, etc.
It's amazing how Schwarts (WR) could have single-handedly altered the very foundation and direction of this franchise on one, single play.

Kinda weird that it's #7 vs #8 in the championship game. I think that is because the seeding didn't really involve the teams that many thought were best to worst. It was conference title winners as top seeds, which normally may be fine, but year not so much.
