  1. Best of luck to him, hope he does well there.
  2. I would expect Watson to start. Hopefully him and Ingram splitting time as the season goes on.
  3. Really nice hands in the passing game. That alone adds a nice dimension to the offense. Plus the added depth.
  4. Yeah it's worth reiterating how high the bar must have been to get a warrant to tap the phones of the POTUS's personal attorney. Basically actively ongoing clear criminal activity. Incredible.
  5. Based on everything we know about the guy, he was not really a lawyer in any conventional sense, more of a "fixer" and arm-twister who had a law degree for appearance's sake. The degree itself was just window dressing, so it may as well be from the worst school in the country.
  6. I have the same question, about a $600 retail gold ring. Hoping to get something back for it. Any mail-in place reputable?

    Tell me about ou

    Bad news for UCLA. Kyler will probably still be playing at that point. No way he lasts to the RRS, though, or finishes it.
  8. The only thing stupider than spring rankings is "post-spring" rankings updates.
  9. My father passed away last month and I inherited his Rolex. Any Rolex experts know anything about this model? It was probably purchased in the 1980's. It is well-maintained, and he basically never wore it.
  10. I'm not sure any movie has aged worse than American Beauty.
  11. Congrats to Malik. I was really hoping to get him on the LA Rams, where he would fit perfectly. Instead he is drafted 10 spots ahead of the Ram's first pick.
  12. This is a nice conversationally written book packed with interesting history, anthropology and other ideas. It is a page turner, too.
  13. Yes, I remember in the Hong Kong subway everyone walks on the left. The problem is mainland Chinese and any tourists are used to walking on the right so it turns into complete chaos during rush hour.
  14. How far back do you have to go to find an administration this corrupt? Harding?

    Western Novels

    Seconding All the Pretty Horses, much more approachable than Blood Meridian.
  16. Have to give a shoutout to Ball's Fried Chicken in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Small hole-in-the-wall place, the first time I went I knew it would be good because the cashier weighed about 400 lbs. It is my go-to spot on any drive to or from NOLA. Fried chicken and boudin balls.
  17. Makes sense. They have worked well together in the past.

    Tax reform

    For context, the U.S. budget deficit has gone from 2.5% of GDP in 2016 to 4% of GDP this year, and is forecast to worsen rapidly in the next few years, even under rosy assumptions about economic growth.

    Tax reform

    Germany has run a budget surplus for the past 4 years. Last year it was the highest ever, at 1.1% of GDP.

    Tax reform

    As we hit the top of the economic cycle, every other rich country is using this time to pay down debt. Only the U.S. is rapidly increasing its debt over the next 5 years. It is a bold strategy, we'll see what happens.
  21. Ryan will be remembered as the guy who exploded the federal deficit for years to come and did everything in his power to prevent oversight of the Trump administration's public corruption. Good riddance.
  22. Since the FBI wouldn't be inclined to leak this info, anything coming out about what the search regarded has to be presumed to be coming from Cohen's camp. If Stormy Daniels material was among the material the warrant covered it seems like that is what Cohen would want to leak, but there could be a lot more to it.
  23. Multiple Trump appointees approved it, seeing as Rosenstein had to sign-off on Mueller's referral.
  24. Absolutely loving this show so far. The pacing, acting, and production quality are all top notch. Knowing that the Getty family is suing anyone who touches this story, I can't wait to see where it all goes.
