First complaint in a game thread goes to flavum

Burger!

Considering the stupid jerks feedback let’s just make a diff game thread

It’s like the phrase might makes right

Little did they know a yahoo sports power rankings from a writer we’ve never heard of would cancel their opinions

It's not an attempt, it's a pun.

well I guess A+

It’s Mike Wright. ST baseball better than I remember.

battle between sox and cards for a new Cuban free agent, where have I seen this before.

IL hits 2 straight days over 100k

To me the best news aside from him signing was I was hoping he didn't get stashed in DSL for tax purposes. So say it's kanny: Vera Thompson Kelly Dalquist

I was way off with credit:

wow I was way off with credit thanks "work meetings"

I made its own thread because it has been an ongoing question and he is awesome so why not.

It actually looksl ike they can create quite a bit of space somewhat easily, esp. since some of their pieces weren't producing to salary. If they convert tunsil's base into signing bonus, cut cooks, cut david johnson, spotrac says they can create $38 million, which in this free agency could be a decent amount. Without a 1st/2nd, this is really their only shot to improve this year and show off to watson. Now, they just cut Watt, so again, I don't see how they can both hold leverage and address his concerns. So I tend to think Watson is actually in a fairly strong position, but to me I think if you are houston you have to try and show a plan in march, and if it's still at this stage in april, then start the bidding. But it's hard to get in their heads because they are such idiots.

I think this is going to end up being true, I'm like 80% convinced on that. But the other part of me is just really hoping this is due to last week being artificially lower due to the storms and people waiting, and the typical cascading delays of reporting which typically makes wed/thurs higher. But more likely is it's going back up. I do wonder, I would imagine a decent percentage of the daily tests come from groups that are forced to work. As they get vaccinated, if we are going to miss some signals from groups that are more likely to just get a test after known contact.

Yeah, I mean if you are in this situation, even though you want a haul of picks, this is the only year you can guarantee their value. Presumably, watson will make teams better that aren't the texans. So is playing chicken longer than the draft and getting a 4 year of picks haul that could all be 16-32 better than trying to do it pre-draft and possibly getting 2 first round picks back, 1 high, or 1 high pick back at least this year (they may prioritize getting 1st and 2nd round picks since they are out both) Until then, maybe you try and show off in free agency. But I think players with options may start putting screws on them anyway by not wanting to go to houston.

I think where people rightly believe they'll fail is it seems too difficult to both assert their leverage while rectifying the situation. When a player is trying to force a new deal on their contract, but team doesn't agree with the number, it's easy for team to just say "you signed this contract and we don't have to pay you, if you don't want to get paid at all that's fine, sit". But Watson's pressure right now is "you've poisoned this relationship, I don't respect the org, and you just made sweeping changes without bothering to consult my interests, etc", to respond with "we aren't going to trade the player" and hardball him over contract...just doesn't seem to work. Now, part of this is just acknowledging how incompetent the texans are to get to this place to start. Clearly they suck at communicating. Clearly they seem like assholes or idiots. I'm sure a better org could both work to assert that won't trade him ("we are fully committed to you as QB and will prove it to you") and working to rebuild the relationship. But a group that could do that...wouldn't be where the texans are in the first place.

My wife (pregnancy) was able to get an appt just now thru Walgreens. Hope you see this and can try your luck!

I'd take a microchip that let them monitor my different titer levels and boost more vaccine into me from their satellites.

this is hilarious

oh, yes, 2021/22/23 1sts, 21 #36 (via mia), 22 3rd

boy it would have sucked if bears traded for wentz and then wilson was traded and stories leaked about how he would have really wanted to go to bears lol. Anyway this isn't happening but I enjoy by 10 hrs of fun.

I wonder if he shares agencies with any of those QBs, hey may not want to screw their situation. spotrac shows the bears would acquire just 19 mill in a trade, and the seahawks get crushed with a 39 million hit. Brutal. Hard in NFL, there's not real dead salary you can send out to bears. But with that amount, pretty easy to work with. Maybe this as a trade: Bears franchise and trade allen robinson for a dolphins #36 overall pick. Bears trade #20, #36, 2022 1st round, 2022 3rd round pick, 2023 1st round pick, to Seahawks for wilson. (3 1st rounders, 1 high 2nd (that is near a #1), 1 3rd rounder (valued as a fourth) Bears then restructure Mack, draft OT in round 2, etc. Cut Massey/Graham. Convert some of Jackson into signing bonus, cut skrine, cut miller. $16 million in cap space, sign juju, ifedi back, santos back, get some weird vets that want to play with wilson. voila. Oh also seattle has to take foles lol sorry.

it's interesting it looks like he clarified his tweet to remove the part where he said he hasn't demanded a trade
