Andersonville was the notorious Confederate prison built in February of 1864 to accommodate the increasing number of Union soldiers captured in various theaters of the Civil War. In the fourteen months the prison was operational forty-five thousand Union prisoners-of-war would walk through the stockade gates at Andersonville – over thirteen thousand would find their final resting place there.
The horrendous mortality rate at the prison, due mainly to starvation and neglect, made Andersonville as deadly as any battlefield of the war.
When the war ended testimony of what the Union prisoners had endured was heard in the halls of Congress. The hearings led to the arrest and eventual execution of the commandant of the prison, Capt. Henry Wirz. It's important to note and a testament to the horrendous war crimes at Andersonville that Wirz was the only Confederate executed after the war.
Although there were over one hundred and fifty military prisons built both north and south during the Civil War Andersonville stands out for the sheer size of the atrocity that occurred there. Within a few months of the end of the war the thirteen thousand soldiers ingloriously buried in mass graves at Andersonville were carefully disinterred and ceremoniously reburied in a new National Cemetery. Widely publicized at the time the location of the prison grounds were also preserved and together with the cemetery would later become a National Historic Site.
The story of what happened at Andersonville in 1864 still resonates today. In 1996 the hollywood film, Andersonville, visualized the story of the notorious prison for modern audiences and in 1999 part of the grounds at Andersonville were chosen as the location of the new National Prisoner of War Museum. Books on the subject of Civil War era military prisons continue to be published today and is a subject that remains contentious.
Case and point – along the road to Andersonville there is still an old Georgia State plaque dedicated to Capt. Henry Wirz – praising him as a hero of the Confederacy.


Jan Markell feels there are many signs manifesting today that herald the return of Jesus Christ. While many will blossom in the Tribulation, they are casting a shadow today. Other signs are a warning for Church age believers and should be an encouragement that the King is coming.

Three photo exhibits: Groundbreakers, Feeding Maine, and The Lexicon of Sustainability, each provide a platform for food system discussion and are available to travel for an exhibition in your community.
FEEDING MAINE
Growing Access to Good Food
Tim Libby separates beets from their leafy green tops and puts them in bags at a Veggies For All field in Unity. Tim, one of the founders of Veggies For All, is now the project's farm manager. He honed his vegetable growing skills at farms in Maine and elsewhere, and uses those skills daily to help with hunger relief in the Unity area. Stacks of old wooden apple crates wait at a property farmed by Veggies For All in Unity; at Salty Dog Farm in Milbridge, antique tools hang on a wall. Crops grown at these locations go to local food pantries (Veggies For All) or to local school lunch programs (Salty Dog Farm). Crates and tools are just a few of many items found on Maine farms that recall the state's rich history of farming and subsistence. Stacks of old wooden apple crates wait at a property farmed by Veggies For All in Unity; at Salty Dog Farm in Milbridge, antique tools hang on a wall. Crops grown at these locations go to local food pantries (Veggies For All) or to local school lunch programs (Salty Dog Farm). Crates and tools are just a few of many items found on Maine farms that recall the state's rich history of farming and subsistence. During the fall root vegetable harvest, Tammy Richards operates a forklift to move crates of carrots at the Good Shepherd warehouse in Auburn. Other crops coming in include potatoes, squash, and other late season vegetables. Good Shepherd Food Bank runs the Mainers Feeding Mainers program, a collaboration with farms across the state to purchase locally grown food, which is then distributed to pantries, meal sites, and directly to families. Tom Prohl washes off Rudolf radishes at Wolfe's Neck Farm. Tom manages the teen agriculture program at the Farm; the program is in its second year, and plans to grow 2000 pounds of food for Mainers Feeding Mainers, which is rapidly expanding. Since launching in 2010, Mainers Feeding Mainers has worked with more than 30 farm partners to distribute 4 million pounds of fresh food grown in state. Cate Stoner of Turning Wheel Farm in Bowdoinham is a single mother, and a one-woman farming operation. Here, she's pictured planting carrot seeds with her dog, Anomi. Stoner leases her fields from a local landowner; her farm is othe grid, and runs on solar power. Last year she harvested seven tons of food for the Mainers Feeding Mainers program.
A traveling photo exhibit documenting some of the many people working for change in our communities across the state, with the hope that these efforts will continue to grow into a resilient food system that serves all Mainers.
PHOTOS by Brendan Bullock
WORDS by Annie Aviles
When you see the phrase "food insecurity," you might picture scenes from distant places hit by the global food crisis: barren fields marked by drought, families fleeing wars, or people waiting in long ration lines. You might not picture Maine.
Yet more than 200,000 Mainers are food insecure. The term encompasses hunger and scarcity, as well as a lack of access to food that's fresh and healthy.
Meeting this need for good food is where Maine's farmers, workers, and volunteers come in. We are fortunate to have at hand everything required to feed our state: rich farmland, skilled farmers, and people invested in forging ties between farms and low-income Mainers.
In making fresh ingredients accessible to those who need them most, the projects featured here are also forging new opportunities for Maine farms—by opening up markets, diverting waste through farm donations and gleaning, and creating new customers who seek fresh, local food.
This photo series is a collaboration between Maine Farmland Trust and Good Shepherd Food Bank. It seeks to document some of the many people working for change in our communities across the state, with the hope that these efforts will continue to grow into a resilient food system that serves all Mainers.
Mainers Shaping Agriculture's Future
Photographer Lily Piel has captured on film two dozen persons who have helped revive farming in Maine, and who remain committed to the cause.
Eliot Coleman & Barbara Damrosch: Farmers and writers who boast an international following, Coleman and Damrosch have inspired countless people to take up farming, plant a garden, or begin to eat better. Barry Higgins: Dairy farmer, beef farmer, meat processor, and ag-tourism entrepreneur, Higgins epitomizes the creative farmer, one who is always exploring new ways to keep farming. Bob Spear: Spear and his family set an example for other farmers when they transitioned their former dairy farm into a successful diversified vegetable farm, with a vibrant farm stand and sales to local stores. Bonnie Rukin: A former farmer, Rukin is now helping transform Maine agriculture through her leadership of Slow Money Maine. Herbert "Bussy" York (with Poppy): A farmer who is always experimenting, York now primarily raises dairy cattle and organic grain, leading the way for Maine to once again become an important grain producer. Caitlin Hunter (with Tiny Turner ): Farmer and artisan cheese-maker, Hunter has been a force behind the Maine Cheese Guild and a mentor to many. Chellie Pingree: Pingree serves in Congress, but her heart and hands remain in farming. Over thirty years ago, she created MOFGA's apprenticeship program. Today, when not in Washington, she guides Turner Farm on North Haven. Chris & Dave Colson: Among the first farmers in the northeast to make a living by growing organic produce and selling it locally, the Colson have for over thirty years grown good food and trained young farmers. Don Marean: Horse-farmer, former legislator, and chair of the Land for Maine's Future Board, Marean repeatedly displays his deep commitment to Maine agriculture. Jim & Megan Gerritsen: Talented farmers who have stood up to Monsanto, the Gerritsens display in spades the elements of character found in many Maine farmers—independence, smarts, and courage. John Bunker: One of America's top authorities on heirloom apples, Bunker is always willing to share his knowledge and passion. Leah & Marada Cook: The Cook sisters run Crown O'Maine Organic Cooperative, demonstrating daily that out-of-the-box solutions can be delivered on a truck. Nancy and Chip Gray: Owners of the Harraseeket Inn, one of the first hotels in the nation to actively promote local organic food, the Grays have now been farm-to-table innovators for over twenty-five years. Nancy Harmon Jenkins: A world-famous food writer, Jenkins is passionate about good Maine food—as well as the farmers, fishermen, chefs, artisan bakers and processors who make this food available. Rob Johnston & Janika Eckert: Johnny's Selected Seeds—the thriving business Johnston founded, and that the couple ran together for years, before selling it to their employees—provides a critical service to farmers in Maine and beyond. Russell Libby: Libby is a homestead farmer, poet, and deep-thinker—and since 1995, the executive director of the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA), a national leader in the organic foods movement. Russell Libby passed away in late 2012, a few months after this photo was taken. He was a founder of MFT, and served on our board from 1999 until last fall. He guided and supported us in so many ways. He is sorely missed. Sam Hayward: Hayward is a James Beard Award-winning chef who helped launch the farm-to-table movement in Maine and has inspired countless chefs, farmers, and eaters. Stew Smith: As Maine's Commissioner of Agriculture a generation ago, Smith offered a vision for Maine's small farms. He went on to teach at U-Maine and has now, in his retirement, returned to farming.
THE LEXICON OF SUSTAINABILITY
Moving forward together, towards the sustainable future we desire, requires a common understanding and language of sustainable ideas and practices. Words are the building blocks for new ideas. This is the premise that inspired the Lexicon of Sustainability. Based in California, the Lexicon creates collaged and altered large-format photographs that illustrate ideas central to the ever-evolving sustainable food movement.
MFT is proud to be one of several guest curators of the Lexicon nationally. By sharing this photo exhibit, we hope to spark conversation about the next steps for the future for farming in Maine.
THE LEXICON OF SUSTAINABILITY™ is a multi-platform approach to sustainability. Check out their media resources and tools on their website.
Let's grow a bright future for farming in Maine, together.

I dont have time for using a mockup tool. I'm a beginner in android but I was doing some research about it. However, I have just came up with my action bar.

I found many tutorials are so complicated that I can not follow them.
What would be a good way to start coding this feature?

A: I am posting solution anyway :)

PANAMA CITY, Panama - Pope Francis celebrated the closing Mass of World Youth Day 2019 on Sunday, Jan. 27.
An estimated 700,000 joined together in Panama's Metropolitan Natural Park, dubbed Campo San Juan Pablo II for the day, to hear the Holy Father tell young people to seize the day and not wait to live their Christian lives.
"'The eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. And he began to say to them: "Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing"' (Lk 4:20-21)," the pope read in his homily.
"Jesus reveals the now of God, who comes to meet us and call us to take part in his now of 'proclaiming good news to the poor ... bringing liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, setting at liberty those who are oppressed, announcing the year of the Lord's favor' (Lk 4:18-19). This is the now of God. It becomes present with Jesus: it has a face, it is flesh. It is a merciful love that does not wait for ideal or perfect situations to show itself, nor does it accept excuses for its appearance. It is God's time that makes every situation and place both right and proper. In Jesus, the promised future begins and becomes life.
"When? Now. Yet not everyone who was listening felt invited or called. Not all the residents of Nazareth were prepared to believe in someone they knew and had seen grow up, and who was now inviting them to realize a long-awaited dream. Not only that, but 'they said, "Is not this Joseph's son?'" (Lk 4:22).
"The same thing can also happen with us. We do not always believe that God can be that concrete and commonplace, that close and real, and much less that he can become so present and work through somebody like a neighbor, a friend, a relative. We do not always believe that the Lord can invite us to work and soil our hands with him in his Kingdom in that simple and blunt a way. It is hard to accept that 'God's love can become concrete and can almost be experienced in history with all its painful and glorious vicissitudes' (Benedict XVI, General Audience, Sept. 28, 2005).
"Often we too behave like the neighbors in Nazareth: we prefer a distant God: nice, good, generous, but far-off, a God who does not inconvenience us. Because a close and everyday God, a friend and brother, demands that we be concerned with our surroundings, everyday affairs and above all fraternity. God chose not to reveal himself as an angel or in some spectacular way, but to give us a face that is fraternal and friendly, concrete and familiar. God is real because love is real; God is concrete because love is concrete. Indeed, this 'concrete manifestation of love is one of the essential elements in the life of Christians' (Benedict XVI, Homily, March 1, 2006).
"We can also run the same risks as the neighbors at Nazareth, when within our communities the Gospel seeks to be lived concretely. We begin to say: But these young people, aren't they the children of Mary, Joseph, aren't they the brothers and sisters of so and so? Are these not the youngsters we saw grow up? That one over there, wasn't he the one who kept breaking windows with his ball? What was born as prophecy and proclamation of the kingdom of God gets domesticated and impoverished. Attempts to domesticate the word of God occur daily.
You too, dear young people, can experience this whenever you think that your mission, your vocation, even your life itself, is a promise far off in the future, having nothing to do with the present. As if being young were a kind of waiting room, where we sit around until we are called. And in the 'meantime,' we adults or you yourselves invent a hygienically sealed future, without consequences, where everything is safe, secure and 'well insured.' A make-believe happiness. So we tranquilize you, we numb you into keeping quiet, not asking or questioning; and in that 'meantime' your dreams lose their buoyancy, they begin to become flat and dreary, petty and plaintive (cf. Palm Sunday Homily, March 25, 2018). Only because we think, or you think, that your now has not yet come, that you are too young to be involved in dreaming about and working for the future.
"One of the fruits of the last Synod was the enrichment that came from being able to meet and above all to listen to one another. The enrichment of intergenerational dialogue, the enrichment of exchange and the value of realizing that we need one another, that we have to work to create channels and spaces that encourage dreaming of and working for tomorrow, starting today. And this, not in isolation, but rather side by side, creating a common space. A space that is not simply taken for granted, or won in a lottery, but a space for which you too must fight.
"You, dear young people, are not the future, but the now of God. He invites you and calls you in your communities and cities to go out and find your grandparents, your elders; to stand up and with them to speak out and realize the dream that the Lord has dreamed for you.
"For Jesus, there is no 'meantime,' but only a merciful love that wants to enter into and win over our hearts. He wants to be our treasure, because he is not a 'meantime,' an interval in life or a passing fad; he is generous love that invites us to entrust ourselves.
"Brothers and sisters, the Lord and his mission are not a 'meantime' in our life, something temporary; they are our life!
"In a special way throughout these days, Mary's fiat has been whispering like a kind of music in the background. She not only believed in God and in his promises as something possible, she believed God himself and dared to say 'yes' to taking part in this now of the Lord. She felt she had a mission; she fell in love and that decided everything.
"As in the synagogue of Nazareth, the Lord stands up again among us his friends and acquaintances; he takes the book and says to us 'Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing' (Lk 4:21).
"Do you want to live out your love in a practical way? May your 'yes' continue to be the gateway for the Holy Spirit to give us a new Pentecost for the world and for the Church."
This was the 34th World Youth Day gathering. The next international celebration will take place in Lisbon, Portugal in 2022.

"We want Twitter to pay its fair share" 24 Cops Police Protesters (Including Two Supes) Against Corporate Tax Breaks
david Campos John Avalos Twitter by Bay City News | February 12, 2014 6:44 pm	| in City Hall | 10
San Francisco Supervisors John Avalos and David Campos joined San Francisco city workers today in a protest outside Twitter's Market Street headquarters calling for an end to corporate tax breaks.
The raucous lunchtime protest, organized by the Service Employees International Union Local 1021, featured a marching band and a flock of cupids offering valentines to "techies."
Organizers called for an end to a payroll tax break approved in 2011 intended to encourage companies such as Twitter to keep their headquarters in San Francisco and help revitalize the mid-Market and Tenderloin neighborhoods.
SEIU officials said the tax break cost the city around $55 million last year for Twitter alone, and argued the lost tax revenues had a negative impact on the funds available for city employee healthcare benefits and essential city services.
"As the city claims a deficit, corporations continue to get a free pass while services are being affected and unjustified healthcare costs are passed on to public and family budgets," said Larry Bradshaw, vice president for SEIU Local 1021.
Avalos and Campos were among those who voted against the payroll tax break in 2011.
Avalos today decried a city government that he said is "all too often is giving away the store to major corporations" while local service providers are forced to leave the area due to rising rents.
Campos led the crowd in a chant, asking "Whose city? Our city!"
"I'm not here to vilify Twitter," Campos said, arguing that city policies should prioritize workers and the middle class. "We want Twitter to pay its fair share."
Few Twitter employees were around during the protest but more than two-dozen police officers were on hand, reflecting the current high level of tension surrounding tech companies and issues of gentrification in San Francisco.
The protest ended peacefully, however, the crowd dissipating rapidly as the lunch hour ended.

This speech is in relation to an inquiry into greyhound racing in South Australia. The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK indicates she is not supporting the motion put forward by the Hon. T.A. Franks regarding the inquiry.
(h) any other relevant matters.
4. That standing order 396 be suspended to enable strangers to be admitted when the select committee is examining witnesses, unless the committee otherwise resolves, but they shall be excluded when the committee is deliberating.
The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK ( 16:11 ): I rise to make some comments in relation to this particular motion and to let anybody who is interested in this issue know at the outset that we will not be supporting the inquiry. I would now like to outline some comments as to why and also to thank members of the public, the RSPCA and the GRSA for their contact. I have had some emails from members of the public urging me to support the inquiry, I have had correspondence with the RSPCA and a meeting with the GRSA.
I would also like to indicate that my colleague, the Hon. Terry Stephens, will be making some comments on this bill as well, as someone who I understand is quite familiar with the greyhound racing industry. I think it is a shame in some ways that this matter is not being debated in the House of Assembly because we have a number of country MPs who have a range of facilities and meets within their areas and I am sure they would like to make a contribution on this matter.
To quickly recap on the issue of greyhound racing which has led us to this matter today that we are debating: in February 2015, I think all Australians were shocked at the exposure of live baiting issues through the Four Corners program, which obtained footage from a number of facilities in the Eastern States. I have referred to these matters before in discussing my private member's bill, including that the CEO of GRSA, Mr Matt Corby, described himself as quite shocked by those matters.
We have had two bills brought to the parliament. There was our private member's bill, which was proposing to licence bullrings. We also had a government package, which included a bill to increase penalties for animal cruelty. That also referred to new arrangements between GRSA and the RSPCA, which I will refer to a little bit later. The New South Wales government, of course, is banning the greyhound industry in that state from 1 July next year.
The continuous message we have had from the South Australian government in relation to greyhound racing in South Australia is that it is a pretty clean industry. When the Four Corners exposure took place, there was no evidence at the time that there were systemic instances of live baiting taking place. Indeed, I think the RSPCA also made the comment that they did not have any evidence of that at the time.
I would like to acknowledge the people who have contacted me post that matter—indeed, it was a whistleblower who led to the drafting of our private member's bill—and other people have spoken to me since. I would have to say that it has not led to anything that has been verifiable or anything that we could take as a matter of breaking of the law, so I have kept an open mind on this matter. However, if there are issues that people say are taking place, we need to be able to take those to the relevant authorities.
I said at the time I moved the bill last year that my sympathies go to the many good and decent people who work in this industry who have unfortunately been tarred with the same brush as those who have undertaken malicious practices. Knowing a few people who are dog breeders, not in this area but in other areas, I understand that they are quite fanatical about the standard of care they apply to their dogs. I understand that there are a number of people who take great care of their dogs who would have been equally horrified about the live baiting practices that they saw on TV.
I said at the time, which was in February last year, that it is time to restore confidence in the industry for the sake of all the honest and decent people who work in it. I still believe that is true, and that is why I think this inquiry is somewhat premature. We have had legislation passed in this place. We will be, and I will personally be, very interested to watch the euthanasia rates closely. I am pleased that the GRSA has today come out with those figures. I think they should have done that earlier. I actually urged them to publish their figures because, as I said to them, the fact that there were figures floating around in the order of 13,000 to 17,000 nationally gave me no comfort at all.
It has been my firm view for some time that the community standards in relation to animal welfare have changed significantly. I could not give you a period over when, perhaps the last five or 10 years, but certainly people view animal welfare as a much more significant issue than they ever used to. I think people find the unnecessary deaths of animals unacceptable, and therefore I am pleased that they are working towards zero euthanasia. They cannot reach it fast enough, as far as I am concerned, but they tell us that will be by 2018.
Indeed, the unnecessary euthanasia of animals is why this parliament has passed the Dog and Cat Management Bill so that not only are puppy farms banned but also to reduce the number of unwanted animals in the community. I am distracting myself, which is not a good thing. We will be watching these euthanasia rates very closely. As I said, they cannot reach zero soon enough as far as I am concerned, and I would urge them to continue all efforts in that regard.
As an aside in relation to the government's legislation which passed last year, I remember saying at the time—and I am pretty sure that the minister agreed with me—that one of the things which was critical in the package of reforms that the government came up with in light of the shocking practices of live baiting that were exposed is that the relationship between the GRSA and the RSPCA is absolutely critical to ensure that, if there are any practices of live baiting, or any other instances of animal cruelty occurring, there be protocols in place and that they be working effectively.
I think one of the disappointing things—and I am not going to point fingers at either of the organisations. I hope that they can sort out their differences because I think, in the interests of animal welfare, it would be most useful if they could work cooperatively to ensure that any animal welfare breaches are brought to court and that those people be removed from the industry and the relevant penalties, and gaol terms, if that is what is required, are brought to bear. While we have this stand‑off between the two it is not assisting confidence, and these matters will continue to be brought to parliament's attention for sorting out.
I urge both organisations to do what they need to do. They both claim to support good animal welfare practices, and I understand that they both do, so I therefore urge them to try to do what they can to mend their relationship so that we can all have confidence that the best practices are being undertaken in South Australia. With those comments, I indicate once again that the Liberal Party will not be supporting the referral to a select committee.


I got my passport in 2002 because I wanted to be on Survivor. As one of the requirements of being selected you had to have a passport in hand. I even sent in a lame audition tape that I made myself. And no I don't have a copy of it to post …. thank God. I was not selected. I never even heard back from them. I'm pretty sure it was because I wasn't weird enough. Or hot enough. Or manipulating enough. I'm good with that.
What I am not good with is the fact that I had that dang passport for ten years and never got one stamp in it. I understand that now most countries don't even actually stamp them unless you request it. Oh, I would be requesting it.
So for ten years it sat in a drawer … waiting … to expire.
I renewed it a couple of months ago. $110. I don't have any trips planned but I like the hopefulness of knowing that if I wanted to, I could be on a plane to somewhere wild and amazing at the drop of a hat. Just in case Survivor pulls my long lost audition tape out of a pile of studio rubble somewhere and someone says, "My God, how did we overlook this. We have to have her on our next show!" I'm ready.
Of course now I would have to politely decline. I'm over Survivor.
But I do like Italian food if anyone is going that way.

Whitby's remaining railway connection heads north, winding its way through the Esk Valley towards Middlesbrough where the line terminates. This is fine for a leisurely trip through some of Yorkshire's finest scenery, and it serves the local schools well too, but it's not great for rail journeys in other directions.
Whitby did have an alternate railway line, linking it with Robin Hood's Bay and then heading further south to Scarborough which was unforunately closed a few decades ago. However, a rail-enthusiast's loss is a walker's (or cyclist's) gain as the line is now a well maintained bridleway running all the way from Whitby to Scarborough.
From 1885 until its closure in 1965 the old railway line from Scarborough to Whitby took goods and passengers up and down the North Yorkshire coast. Now it's an off-road route through the North York Moors National Park for walkers, horse riders and cyclists.
In an act of great foresight, Scarborough Borough Council bought the line shortly after it closed. Because the track ballast was made from cinders rather than crushed stone, many locals call it the Cinder Track. It now forms 21 miles (34.4 kms) of Route 1 of the National Cycle Network.
You might decide to make a slight detour and visit one of the quiet bays such as Robin Hood's Bay, Crook Ness, Cloughton Wyke, Hayburn Wyke, Stoupe Beck Sands or Maw Wyke Hole. Or you could make a circular walk of it by taking in part of the Cleveland Way which follows a similar route along the cliff tops.
The route is well used by walkers, cyclists and horse riders alike and it's easy to see why. Why not stop for a pint at the Hayburn Wyke Hotel or for afternoon tea at the old station in Cloughton or the cafe in Ravenscar. Or you could hire a bike from Trailways at Hawsker and see more of the coastline than you might by foot alone.
You can explore our early industrial heritage at the Peak Alum Works - the birthplace of the British chemical industry - where locally mined rock was combined with human urine, brought up by barge from London, to make Alum which helps fix dye to cloth for the emerging UK textile industry.
You'll be confounded by the town that never quite was at Ravenscar. You can stop to wonder at the 13 spans of the 120 feet (36.5 metre) high Larpool Viaduct over the River Esk in Whitby. Or you may simply want to take a bit of time to enjoy the numerous sights and pleasures of Whitby, Scarborough or Robin Hoods Bay.

Suspension of Opening Day Will Be a Blessing for the Boston Red Sox
By: Cameron Beall | March 16, 2020
MLB Suspends Opening Day
Among the chaos of the Boston Red Sox offseason, there has been yet another wrench thrown in the mix; not only affecting the Red Sox but the entire sports universe. The coronavirus has put the world on pause, and has left nearly every professional sport in a state of limbo. Although fans may be upset they could be waiting as much as a month longer for first pitch, delaying the regular season is a blessing in disguise for Boston.
The Boston Red Sox have a snowball's chance in hell at winning the AL East this season. Making a run at one of the wild card spots, however, isn't completely out of the picture. A few things need to happen for this to be possible though. The pitching staff needs to get a lot stronger, and the offense will need to replace at least some of the production that got shipped off to the Los Angeles Dodgers back in February.
More Rest for Chris Sale
Chris Sale faced live hitters for the first time since August earlier this month and quickly had another setback. He suffered a strain in his throwing elbow and sought multiple opinions. The strain set him back at least another two weeks — although it seems like it's lingering already. It hasn't been indicated that Sale will be shut down before the season to have Tommy John Surgery, so at this point it certainly looks like the lefty is going to try to pitch in 2020.
Major League Baseball has suspended the season at least two weeks at this point but still intends to play all 162 games. Contrary to their initial ruling, however, according to Ken Rosenthal and Evan Drellich of the Athletic, Rob Manfred and the players association don't seem confident that we will see baseball anytime in April. It seems more likely at this point that baseball could be suspended at least a month — which bodes well for Sale.
If baseball doesn't start until May there's a far greater chance that Sale takes the hill on opening day. On paper, this could do wonders for a team with one of the weakest rotations when the ace is absent. Where the issue remains is if he will stay healthy for the whole season; a department where he hasn't exactly been the model of consistency.
Let's play along though and say that Sale only needed the extra two weeks that were reported. If he is gifted an extra month of rest, he could be much more fresh come the later months. Considering the team extended him for five more seasons prior to 2019, conceding to the Tommy John Surgery might make sense in the big picture, but strictly for 2020, the suspended season could help bolster Boston's starting rotation.
Alex Verdugo Adding Roster Flexibility
Alex Verdugo is another player who hasn't seen action since late last summer. The outfielder is already playing at a disadvantage being traded for a former MVP in Mookie Betts. Verdugo has had a stress fracture in his back going back to last season. He hadn't begun to participate in baseball activities until shortly before players were sent home from camp. His timetable falls in line with the expected start of the season, the beginning of May. Having Verdugo's bat in the lineup early in the season could have greater implications than meet the eye.
Verdugo hit .298 in his first full season with Los Angeles in 2019. The outfielder also had been regarded as one of the best hitting prospects in baseball before debuting. The upside of having him in the lineup for opening day is obvious. He would give the team a lot of flexibility moving into the middle of the season if he's able to stay healthy though.
Jackie Bradley Jr. as a Trade Chip
While Boston's outfield had a reputation of being one of baseball's finest, Jackie Bradley Jr. hasn't necessarily been the reason. The defensive guru is consistently one of the worst hitters in baseball; Bradley Jr. ranked 130th in batting average last season out of 135 qualified hitters.
Verdugo's health and production early in the condensed season could lead to JBJ packing his bags midway through the year. The Boston Red Sox signed Kevin Pillar who could replace Bradley Jr. if the team moved on from the Gold-Glover. Although the return would be minimal, Boston could use any help they can get for their bullpen. Bradley Jr. may be the piece that has to be unloaded for that to happen.
If Red Sox Nation has any hope of the team finally trading one of baseball's worst batters Alex Verdugo's health will be the avenue fans have been waiting for to make this happen.

Sirens by Joseph Knox
Aiden Waits is a youngish detective constable who is an absurd mess. He's no hero. Too much of his past is catching up with him. Too much drink. Too much speed. Too many bad decisions. On his last legs professionally, he is sent undercover into London's bloody underbelly to infiltrate a criminal enterprise headed up by Zain Carver, the prime suspect in a ten-year old unsolved murder of a young woman, a major drug dealer, and a notorious sex trafficker. In the process of his infiltrating, Aiden is also charged with rescuing the daughter of a politician named Isabelle Rossiter, a teenage runaway lured into Zain's shadowy underworld, and Aiden must also find out which dirty cops are on Zain's payroll. Aiden is completely expendable to the police force, which means he has nothing to lose, and may be the only person who can actually solve these crimes, save Isabelle, and restore some order to the police force. Friendless and alone when Isabelle turns up dead, Aiden is accused of rape and murder and is picked up by bad cops. If he can survive, he must vindicate himself of these crimes. But how?
Sirens is a bleak, powerful, visceral, gritty, engrossing, urban, debut novel. The characters are compelling. The prose if propelling. The scenery drags you down to the dark side.

Cup Victory for Young Spireites
Chesterfield's youth team came back from 1-0 down at the break to beat Walsall 3-1 in the first round of the FA Youth Cup at the Proact.
Charlie Wakefield, Owen Darwent and Joe Rowley (pen) scored for the young Spireites.
Walsall had the better of the first half, but Chesterfield produced a much improved second-half display and deserved to progress in the competition.
When Tobias Hayles-Docherty delivered a low cross from the right-hand byline which was met by Cameron Peters at the near post, Spireites keeper Dylan Parkin got down smartly to smother the effort.
Walsall took the lead four minutes before the break when Will Shorrock broke into the area and squared to Ethan Freemantle who scored with ease.
The Spireites equalised in the opening minute of the second half when Wakefield found some space in the left-hand side of the area and produced a good, angled finish.
After Rowley had an effort cleared off the line, Darwent (54) scored with a rasping drive following a corner.
Freemantle tried a low shot from distance which lacked the power to test Parkin.
Chesterfield were awarded a penalty in the 68th minute when Ricky German was brought down by keeper Brandon Ganley and Rowley duly despatched his effort from the spot.
Walsall threatened to pull a goal back with Parkin saving a shot from Peters and Joe Cairns heading wide, but the young Spireites held firm to advance to the next round.
Spireites: Parkin, Ofoegbu, Wakefield, Taylor, Smith, Fowler, Lynam (Sennett-Neilson 85), Rowley, German (Tipping 82), Darwent (McKenna 82), Hand.
Unused subs: Jones, Phillips.

In "All That We Had Is Lost," the starry-eyed Swedes in Postiljonen pay a timely homage to Whitney Houston, borrowing elements from one of her biggest hits. The video was directed by repeat collaborator Ty Olson, who captures a tale of love and loneliness, starting with tender snuggles and hinted sexuality and ending with heartbreak and soccer and sailing. (Just watch.) Postiljonen's Skyer LP is......read more


I stayed at Forever Resorts and I'm totally dissatisfied with service. Staff is arrogant and not helpful at all, I had problems with some room equipment and there was no one to help me out. Instead of having nice stay I was complaining all the time because I was sad that room didn't match my expectations.

Week 13 predictions
Posted: November 27, 2019 in Football, New entries, NFL
Bears at Lions. Bears. David Blough, 3rd string QB will be starting at QB for the Lions.
Bills at Cowboys Bills. The Cowboys can't beat a good defense. Even at home. Their wins have come only against teams that have bad defenses (Dolphins, Giants, Eagles, Redskins).
Saints at Falcons Falcons. Everyone else on planet earth is picking the Saints. The Saints are an overall better team, with a great coach. I don't see how they fixed whatever happened from last game when they lost to Atlanta. Additionally, this game will be in Atlanta. Saints left tackle Terron Armstead will be out for this game.
Browns at Steelers Browns. The Browns have turned a corner, they are playing better football than they were. Devlin Hodges will be more competitive than Rudolph, it should be a close game.
Packers at Giants Packers
Eagles at Dolphins Eagles
Buccaneers at Jaguars Jaguars. Nick Foles should have no trouble trading scores with Winston against the Bucs very generous defense. Jacksonville can still capably run the ball against elite run defenses as we saw in their win against the Jets. The Jacksonville defense will be eager to create some turnovers against an interception friendly Winston. Jacksonville wins a close one at home. Tampa Bay puts up a lot of points but they turn the all over so much and can't play any defense. Jags HC Doug Marrone's going to really have to mess it up to lose here.
Titans at Colts Titans. I really like Frank Reich and want to pick the Colts here. I like Reich better than Vrabel as a playcaller. Their last game in Tennessee Indy won by two points. Since that time, the Titans got Ryan Tannehill at quarterback who is performing at a surprisingly efficient level (much more so than Mariota). The Titans also got Jeffrey Simmons at defensive tackle who was on injured/reserve for that game who is playing at a high level since coming into the NFL.
Jets at Bengals Jets. Andy Dalton is back in at QB to try and get a win for Cincinnati. The Jets are on a three game win streak and have to beat the worst team in football.
Redskins at Panthers Panthers.
49ers at Ravens Ravens. I am a 49ers fan and want the 9ers to win. 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh seems to struggle most against dual threat QBs (loss to Russell Wilson and close wins to Kyler Murray). The path to victory for San Francisco is grinding out the run (Kansas City and Cleveland both dominated Baltimore in the ground game in the Ravens two losses). San Francisco still has a competitive front four even with Dee Ford out, so they CAN win this game, Baltimore is playing prettier football right now.
Rams at Cardinals Rams
Chargers at Broncos Chargers. Derwin James is back. Rivers is still a top shelf passer, Brandon Allen has a limited toolkit to compete with defensive talent like Joey Bosa and the Chargers secondary.
Raiders at Chiefs Chiefs. Pat Mahomes can still dice up the Raiders defense.
Patriots at Texans Patriots. Belichick has never lost to Bill O'Brien. The Texans don't have a secondary and still have an underperforming offensive line.
Vikings at Seahawks Seahawks. Russell Wilson is having the best season of his career.
The inevitable Minshew/Foles divorce and more
I was already wrong about one of my week 12 predictions. Houston did a great job defending T.Y. Hilton and the Frank Reich passing game in general. I thought the Texans secondary wouldn't be able to hold up against Indy, but it was Indy's secondary that got repeatedly burned by DeAndre Hopkins and Houston Football Magician DeShaun Watson. I criticize O'Brien a lot but he's been a consistent football coach.
It's tough to see a player win SIX rookie of the week awards and then still get benched when his replacement starter comes back healthy. I like Foles as a QB just fine. And yes, Minshew turned the ball over four times against an important division rival in Houston, which I can appreciate matters a lot to both fans and the Jaguars coaching staff. If Jacksonville sticks with Foles beyond 2019, his QB contract will continue to look like more and more of a bargain so retaining him is a defensible move as Foles will still be seen as the 'safer' move as he's won a superbowl with Philly. Whichever Quarterback Jacksonville chooses to start in 2020, the other Quarterback will likely want out, and Jags GM Dave Caldwell can likely flip that other QB to an NFC team for at LEAST a second round pick, which would invariably provide Jacksonville with more value than a really good backup QB. Conventional football wisdom says to go with the less expensive QB (assuming talent is about equal) so I would expect Jacksonville to move on from Foles if they can get the compensation they are looking for in the offseason.
Wide receiver Brandin Cooks is, when healthy, one of the NFL's most dangerous deep threats. They could try and pay everyone and keep him on staff. The Rams abundant need at offensive line and their use of Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp mean Cooks becomes a tradeable asset, especially when factoring in his $16 million a year contract. Cooks may come back healthy in 2020, and have another phenomenal season. The Rams lack of draft picks and need to pay newcomer Jalen Ramsey, AND find new offensive linemen may push general manager Les Snead to find a trade partner to send Cooks somewhere for draft picks.
There are more teams that need starting quarterbacks than there are high caliber starting quarterback prospects in this class. Which means either Case Keenum is going to start somewhere or some poor GM who feels backed into a corner is going to draft Justin Herbert in the top ten.
Tampa Bay OC Byron Leftwich will be interviewing for head coaching jobs in the offseason. Tampa Bay has a top ten offense even they they have very few pieces operating in their favor (unstable QB, inconsistent offensive line, ineffective ground game). Leftwich may want to stay in Tampa with Bruce Arians who has been faithful to him from their time in Arizona, but Leftwich will have opportunities for Washington, maybe Cleveland or the New York teams.
Colts at Texans – Colts. Indianapolis lost to Miami, but that was with Brian Hoyer throwing three interceptions (Brissett should be back for week 12). The Colts have one of the best offensive minds in Frank Reich, a top running attack with that offensive line, and one of the league's better run defenses. Houston's Deshaun Watson is a better QB than Brissett, but he will be held back by the Texans middling offensive line and Bill O'Brien's stuck-in-the-past play-calling. The presence of Watson, Hopkins, and Stills means the Texans should never really be "out" of this game, but I buy on the strength of the Colts defense and the discipline of the offense to beat Houston in Houston.
Broncos at Bills – Bills. These are two very good defenses. Josh Allen is more reliable than Denver's Brandon Allen, and Buffalo is running the ball better than Denver. The 7-3 Bills are one of the AFC's biggest surprises, their strong defense and grinding running style have been successful for them this season.
Giants at Bears – Bears. I want to believe in Barkley and that young receiving corps. Darius Slayton and Golden Tate looked terrific in week 10. Chicago's defense is still executing at a high level despite their offense not doing them much favors. Chase Daniels will give the offense as much chance to win as Trubisky, if not more. The path to victory for the Giants would be Daniel Jones repeatedly gashing Chicago running with the ball in his hands and Eddy Pineiro missing on three key field goals resulting in a New York win. I don't believe Jones will be able to pass against Chicago's secondary, and Jones is turnover prone which this defense thrives on.
Steelers at Bengals – Steelers. Pittsburgh's defense has seen T.J. Watt and Minkah Fitzpatrick really steal the show this season. I think the only game Cincinnati has a realistic chance of being favored to win this season is week 17 if Cleveland has been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs and chooses to rest their starters. Ryan Finley will be quarterbacking for the foreseeable future.
Dolphins at Browns – Browns. Miami has shown competitive spirit winning two of their last three games (Jets, Colts). Cleveland needs only to run the ball against the league's second worst run defense and they should command the outcome of the game. Kitchens and Baker will be able to call the plays they want as Miami has limited offensive capability. Should be a confidence booster for Cleveland and Baker.
Buccaneers at Falcons – Falcons. Atlanta seems to be a new team under Jeff Ulbrich's (and Raheem Morrsis's) defensive play-calling. Recent wins over New Orleans and Carolina speak to the success of their defensive changes. I will continue to pick Atlanta until I am proven wrong (Atlanta has allowed 12 points TOTAL in the last 2 games). Jameis is guaranteed to throw a couple interceptions in this game. Matt Ryan is still a great quarterback and still has Jones, Ridley and Hooper to throw to against an AWFUL defense in Tampa.
Panthers at Saints – Saints. Kyle Allen will struggle against a surprisingly talented Saints defense. The Panthers have their own group of talent on defense (Mario Addison, Luke Kuechly, Gerald McCoy), but Sean Payton and Drew Brees have an elite quick pass game to play against that group well.
Seahawks at Eagles – Seahawks. This should be a good game. Both these head coaches have been there, done that. Both QBs are elite QBs. The Eagles have been really banged up. The Seahawks have a slight edge with Chris Carson very quietly dominating, Russell having the best season of any QB, Jadeveon Clowney coming on as of late.
Lions at Redskins – Lions. Detroit's been a nice surprise with Jeff Driskel accounting for three touchdowns against Dallas (2 air, 1 ground). Haskins showed signs of life against the Jets but will have a tough time against Patricia leading that defense.
Raiders at Jets – Raiders. The Jets are actually quite sturdy against the run (#1 run defense in the league), making this a winnable game for New York. While the Raiders like to run with Josh Jacobs, though Derek Carr is having one of his best years in recent memory throwing to Darren Waller, Tyrell Williams, and now Hunter Renfrow. The strength of the Raiders offensive line and the Raiders success on the quick passing game should give Oakland another ugly win.
Jaguars at Titans – Titans. I like Nick Foles better than Ryan Tannehill as a quarterback. The Titans defense is outperforming the Jaguars defense this season. Tennessee is using Tannehill well, the offense hasn't turned the ball over or been any worse than when Mariota was starting.
Cowboys at Patriots – Patriots. The Cowboys could actually win this game. They are not a consistent team. But when they go off they are tough to defend. Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup are a top five wide receiver duo and Elliot is still a top running back. The Patriots still have the league's best scoring defense, even after being thrashed by Baltimore. They dominate the turnover battle. This should be a fun game to watch.
Packers at 49ers – 49ers. I don't want to pick this game. Green Bay's performed well against a tougher schedule than San Francisco's faced. I am buying Rodgers holding on to the ball long enough for San Francisco's front four to repeatedly force bad throws or sack the veteran QB. The 49ers secondary should more than be able to handle Green Bay's receiving corps.
Ravens at Rams – Ravens. The highest scoring offense in the league gave up a mid round pick for the best version of Marcus Peters. Baltimore's average time of possession is 34:35 per game. GEEZ. The Rams offensive line and defensive core are not what they were in 2018. The Ravens just dismantled a respectable Texans team and beat up on the SuperBowl winning Patriots the week before.
Jets at Redskins – Jets. The Redskins could win this game with Case Keenum. Haskins is being asked to learn the pro game when he should be on the bench. The Jets have a surprisingly sturdy run defense so Callahan's run first strategy will have a rough time against Quinnen Williams, Steve McLendon and the rest of the Jets front seven. The Redskins have a path to victory maybe, if their defense really stands up and they just kick a ton of field goals. The Jets win this matchup seven out of ten times. The Jets aren't a stellar team, but Sam is on average throwing better than Haskins, and the Jets secondary is more reliable than the Redskins.
Saints at Buccaneers – Saints. I can see a path to victory for Tampa, they're on average scoring more points than New Orleans and the Saints recently tripped over themselves in a shocking loss to a bottom ten Atlanta team. One thing Atlanta did well in that game is consistently pressure Brees. While Shaq Barrett is having a breakout season, he nor any of the other Buccaneers sacked Teddy Bridgewater in the earlier tilt the Saints/Bucs played in New Orleans. New Orleans has strong contributors on defense, former first round pick Marcus Davenport has started to contribute in a meaningful way and former Jets/Browns linebacker Demario Davis who's never been a blue chip player is having a stellar year in New Orleans. The Bucs allow the most points per game, and I expect Brees, Thomas, Kamara, and Jared Cook to be able to move the ball against Tampa Bay's defense. If Todd Bowles can find a way to pressure Brees, the Buccaneers can maybe win this game.
Broncos at Vikings – Vikings. Denver QB Brandon Allen threw two touchdowns in win over Cleveland. Denver actually has a really good defense. All of this being considered, their offensive line and QB play will keep them from competing against Minnesota. The Vikings offensive line, long recognized as one of the league's worst, has actually performed sort of well this year. Kirk Cousins has been productive in the last five weeks, and Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison have both had plenty of room to run behind that offensive line. Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen is out, but Laquon Treadwell has been competitive with the opportunities he's had this year. This Denver team would be really exciting with a competitive quarterback and better overall offensive line play. Watching Courtland Sutton catch his three beautiful passes per game stuck in a desert wasteland of an offense makes me sad.
Bills at Dolphins – Bills. Miami has back to back wins all of a sudden. Buffalo is unstable enough that they could realistically lose this game, after seeing their loss to Cleveland. Miami will not have one of the worst QB performances like 3 INT Brian Hoyer or highly inconsistent Sam Darnold to capitalize on. Buffalo should be able to command the pace of the game with the run, Buffalo's secondary will keep Fitzpatrick from moving the ball downfield on a regular basis. Miami's starting to find standout performers who can contribute meaningfully in 2020 (Nik Needham, Devante Parker, John Jenkins) but aren't competitive every game in '19. Buffalo would have to commit a TON of turnovers to lose this game.
Jaguars at Colts – Jaguars. Indianapolis has been very competitive with Jacoby Brissett at the helm. I'm gambling that the return of Nick Foles will be more than the Colts will be able to handle on defense. Gardner performed very well for a late round pick and had his worst game right before Nick Foles returned from injury, but Foles has an emerged D.J. Chark and the best(?) version of Leonard Fournette to rely on. Plus, I see this game coming down to an Adam Vinatieri field goal. Vinatieri is in the Joe Montana/Chiefs stage in his career. He's a H.O.F. kicker but he's not consistent in 2019.
Cowboys at Lions – Cowboys. With Matthew Stafford, this would be a game. Jeff Driskel doesn't commit a ton of turnovers, the Lions won't be able to reliably score against Dallas with Driskel at QB.
Falcons at Panthers – Falcons. The Panthers have a lot of talent on defense. There are reasons to believe in this roster. The Falcons front seven terrorized Drew Brees and one of the best offensive lines IN NEW ORLEANS. Kyle Allen is a beatable Quarterback. The Panthers path to victory goes through Christian McCaffrey. If Matt Ryan can develop a rhythm with Jones and Ridley the Falcons should outduel Carolina. McCaffrey's an elite performer, but he can only play running back. Jeff Ulbrich, (former 49ers linebacker) has taken over play-calling responsibilities for Atlanta's defense, this happened before the Falcons/Saints game.
Texans at Ravens – Ravens. This is a tough call. I really like Watson. I ultimately trust Harbaugh as a play caller more and Tucker for those late game field goals. Both of these teams are functioning in a very similar way. Bill O'Brien is a questionable play caller late in the game. I actually think Deshaun watson is a better QB than Lamar, but Baltimore is using Lamar in a very tough way to defend, and Marcus Peters has been playing like a man possessed since coming to Baltimore.
Cardinals at 49ers – 49ers. This could be a trap game for Shanahan and Saleh. The 49ers barely scraped by against Arizona a few weeks ago. At home, they should be able to keep Kyler Murray in check and Chase McLaughlin performed well under pressure against Seattle. I would expect this to be another close game.
Patriots at Eagles – Patriots. Philadelphia is too unreliable to safely pick them at home. They can perform like the best of the best week to week. The Patriots defense should be able to keep Carson Wentz largely in check. The Eagles offensive line is not as dominant as its been, and the secondary has been repeatedly exposed. This should be a close game.
Bengals at Raiders – Raiders. The Raiders have been competitive this year. They will face Ryan Finley in this game.
Bears at Rams – Rams. The Bears have a great defense. They have no reliable offense whatsoever. Sean McVay doesn't lose to Mitchell Trubisky two years in a row. Trubisky is not performing at the same level this year as he was in 18.
Chiefs at Chargers – Chiefs. The Chiefs defense has problems. Mahomes isn't playing at the same level as in 2018. The Chiefs are more stable than the Chargers.
2 Pac 12 guys and Thursday night football prediction (short)
WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT. UTAH HAS A DRAFTABLE QUARTERBACK FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE SHREK 2 CAME OUT.
Utah doesn't run a pro style offense, so their QBs typically aren't set up for success in the NFL. On top of that, Utah's nightlife is lacking, so top QB talent will be more attracted to D1 blueblood programs like Ohio State and Alabama. Utes QB Tyler Huntley hasn't been passing the ball a ton (this is by design)this year. But when he has, he's been EXCEPTIONALLY efficient. The 6'1″ Huntley is 5th in the country in QBR (89.5), completing 73.8% of his passes and a gaudy 10.8 yards per attempt. Utah's run heavy offense has Huntley with 11 passing TDs and 1 INT. Huntley is not a first or second round selection. As a late round prospect, Huntley would be best suited to an organization like LA Chargers or Green Bay where he can learn in an established system behind an NFL QB.
With the success of Gardner Minshew II, Washington State's senior QB Anthony Gordon has thrived under Leach's offense. Gordon, like Minshew and Rudolph (both WSU alumni) hasn't demonstrated a great deep ball but has played to his ceiling of potential in Washington State's quick pass offense. Gordon, like Huntley, has late round appeal because of what he's doing well in the College ranks and could go to a roster that doesn't NEED him to start immediately.
Thursday night prediction
Cleveland vs Pittsburgh
This is coming out at the start of the game (procrastination). I am picking Cleveland to win at home. The Browns can run the ball efficiently and Baker can't play poorly forever. Pittsburgh can win if their defense keeps them in it, but Baker is play-for-play a better Quarterback than Rudolph, even if the stats this season tell a different story. The Browns defense has a core of strong talent in the front seven and should be able to limit Rudolph and the run game of Pitt. These are the types of games Cleveland wins, scrappy, physical AFC North division games. Put your money on Pittsburgh, because I'm betting Cleveland wins tonight.
Future Freezing Cold Takes
Posted: November 2, 2019 in Football, New entries, NFL
Who did Jalen Hurts piss off?
Hurts is trending to beat Kyler Murray and Baker Mayfield's stat production in their final seasons at Oklahoma. He's dominating in completion percentage (73.9), QBR (94.6), YPA (13.7). LSU's Burrow and Alabama's Tagovailoa have earned their stripes and deserve to be mentioned as top QB prospects. Hurts' resume is AT LEAST as impressive as Kyler Murray's (More starts, taller, just as athletic, one elite season at OU) and Murray was the top draft pick and top actual QB of the '19 class. I've been wrong plenty of times before, so I'll gladly call myself an idiot if Hurts doesn't become a franchise caliber passer, but he seems to have all the credentials for the job. I don't see why Hurts isn't showing up in NFL mock drafts as a potential first rounder, I can't see how he's any worse than the third best QB in the draft.
The Eagles are trying to prove the NFC East sucks by winning it with an 8-8 record
That's it. That's the whole take.
Dak's just a businessman doing business, man.
If the Cowboys don't pony up the cash for Dak Prescott, some team like the Buccaneers or the Bears will pay him ALL THE MONEY he wants. I can appreciate not signing Elliott to a big contract will frustrate fans and selling tickets is a big part of running a business, but if Dallas doesn't find a way to somehow pay Dak they better be real confident they can draft the heir apparent QB in '20.
Jacksonville needs to live it up, go all in on the Minshew Train
Gardner Minshew may not end up being as successful as Nick Foles. But Minshew is clicking well in that offense, and he's being paid pennies on the dollar compared to most other starting quarterbacks. Generally speaking, teams that won a Superbowl in the last 20 years either had Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, or a QB on a rookie deal (Wilson, Roethlisberger, Flacco, Wentz). The Jaguars are not that far away from competing in a GAPING WIDE OPEN AFC South. Free agent names like Chris Harris from Denver or Andrew Whitworth from LA could help Jacksonville compete right away in 2020, especially if Dave Caldwell finds a trade partner for Nick Foles and his contract. Jacksonville's receiving corps with DJ Chark and Chris Conley are really standing out with Minshew throwing the ball. Fournette is averaging five yards a carry this year (after a career worst season in '18). This team has core pieces in place to compete in the playoffs for years to come.
USC should FIRE CLAY HELTON
That's all I got. I read in Ian O'Connor's Belichick that Bill Parcells had Lawrence Taylor have a "practice fight" with another giants offensive lineman to get ready for their Superbowl against Buffalo. So maybe just have practice fights with people to get yourself in the mood before a job interview, date, whatever your 'Dragon' is. I think that's what I'm supposed to take away from that. I mean, it worked for Lawrence Taylor (?)
This Captain Sinbad guy is GOLD
