  1. So we're thinking of an October France trip and I'm favoring 5 days in Paris and 3 days somewhere else in France that's smaller but close enough to get back in time to fly out. My wife thinks 5 days in Paris is too much (bear in mind she's been twice without me, first time for me). I can't imagine 5 days is nearly enough time in one of the worlds greatest cities. Anyone want to make recommendations on anything in particular? @PenelopeWitherspoon? We don't really have a budget but I'm not spending $3k a night on a hotel that we'll be using to sleep and shower and that's it.
  2. My suspicion is that Durant wouldn't want to play with Harden, anyway. There was plenty of chance to do so under Morey on a better Rockets team.
  3. No thanks, even Chas is better than Seth Brown.
  4. Time to bring up Ullola and put him in the bullpen.
  5. He's a 20 year old professional athlete with generational money. "If" is very relative to his peer group.
  6. My prediction is that this is a contract year for him and he'll have more catches than Wingo. I'll also take the over on 371 team receptions. It's kind of hard to gauge how much time the 2nd string (or worse) will get, difference in play styles (Arch is more likely to tuck and run, Quinn incurring negative plays often enough to force obvious passing downs), schedule, etc., but Arch with Quinn's snaps plus his own prorate to 376.
  7. I know per/36 is derided by the analytics community, but Whitmore is Green's superior in basically every statistical category except for assists, and this is coming in Green's year 4 after a ton of minutes played. If Whitmore is a complete bonehead it may all be for naught, but he's got potential that Green isn't getting to.
  8. We have tickets for the Bullock IMAX, home of the $18 popcorn bucket with no free refills.
  9. You mean waive them? You’d have to trade prospects out to move Walker’s salary and the others are basically neutral or worse on trade value.
  10. Clutchfans consensus seems to be is that it's because Whitmore isn't coachable and it's time to get what you can for him.
  11. I thought we didn't trust ESPN because their ratings were calculated using an AI based on old Tom Lemming rankings from the 90's?
  12. MacKenzie Gore is really good and I don't know why the Nats would trade him. There's a better chance he's pitching on the next good Nationals team. I think the only obvious weak spot that doesn't appear to have upside is at 2B. Maybe someone like Brendan Donovan can be obtained fairly cheaply, I guess Brandon Lowe even if I don't like his contract and I expect the Rays will ask for prospects we'll regret trading. I'm also okay with standing pat if our team health appears to be in a good place coming out of the ASB.
  13. I would be shocked if there isn't at least one 5 star receiver signed in the class, particularly later in the season once there's time for the budget to be a little more predictable.
  14. I hate to jump in here because a) Brian Fantana is a little irrational and b) I'm a far from educated about Mamdani's promises aside from some of the highlights. That said, I did listen to his 30 minute interview with Derek Thompson and one take away is his attitude of "let's try it. If we fail, let's try something else", that is a welcome change from someone high profile in the party. There's so much risk aversion amongst Democrats and that insecurity doesn't lend itself to campaigns in the 2020's, particularly with younger voters who've grown up in a world so connected that the notion of a private life is a quaint artifact. At least on the interview, his specific rent policy was a rent freeze on rent controlled apartments and appeared to be data driven.
