The bolded part was initially shrunk down, so I thought "What's wrong with any of that?" But then I expanded the post and read the bolded part. Cripes. Still might be worth it for how good I assume Argentinian beef to be, though.

They gave up about nothing to get him. I was more surprised Arizona didn't think he was at least an ok backup to keep around.

I couldn't agree more, which is why I'll end up thinking about it for a long while yet. And not that I couldn't make friends elsewhere, but still friends are friends but family is family. Plus I could certainly try Wisconsin for a while first without making any big financial commitment to it or anything. RVing feels like the same thing in just being gone for good stretches of time. I could conceivably come back from wherever I am and stay with each sibling for a month or so. A cousin of mine is in Puerto Rico now but hates it and will be moving back home to Texas. He said Wisconsin would probably suit me better. And I'll bring it up at Thanksgiving, too. I've certainly got a lot of time and am certainly not at the point I'm racing out to learn Georgian yet.

What's been on my mind a lot lately and ultimately what I have to figure out before "What country" or even "What part of the US" is whether being close to a brother and a couple cousins is worth the downsides of weather I don't like and a low-middle-class standard of living. I feel it's the same even moving within the US since the separation is still there. And obviously nobody else could ever answer that but me. I asked my boss who is also moving away and he had no issue since he'd be regularly flying back to visit. And I'm sure I would, too. Iran or Russia doesn't concern me much at all with Georgia, though. Granted I wouldn't be doing any vacationing in its neighboring countries.

GM Meetings: "Brewers Open to Trades"
GAME05 replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
I have a hard time seeing Peralta traded with no Burnes and Woodruff on the team next year. Good luck trying to sell season tickets if you're trotting out Adrian Houser as your team's Ace. Even if we brought in some young SP to replace him, they would be someone BF would be excited for, but the average fan wants a known player and isn't keeping up with other teams' prospects. Of course I'd love to see what a huge value like Peralta could bring back, but filling the seats next year is no small consideration. -
So I've still been building my list of expat retirement destinations. Been liking Tblisi, Georgia lately. They have a great golf course I can afford plus joining condos. 1100 sq. ft. for $150k which is pricey for over there. A cousin who lived there said everyone is super nice and it's easy to make friends. Best wine in the world. Obviously there's a downside to any country, and to Georgia it's the 36-hour flight back home. The more I dream about expat life the more I wonder if the reality is that back to Wisconsin is the most practical. Three cousins and a brother I'd be close to in WI, which trumps ordinary friends I'd make in Georgia. The boss is likely moving to Colombia. Ecuador is apparently getting worse with crime that expats are moving away. Cyprus seems like it'd be too hot. Malta is getting dirtier and permanently under construction (noise).

Last week I set a new personal best 31 spam calls in a day. I set the default ring to silent and gave all my contacts a ringtone, so at least I don't really even know when they call.
-
Packers wouldn't take Maye even if he's available to us. Gute and MLF won't stick their necks out to admit defeat on their guy Love and the added job insecurity that comes with that. And maybe I'm wrong but it doesn't feel like those two are particularly close to being replaced just yet.
-
I don't think there has ever existed a man buried in more places than him.
-
Starting to see Fashanu mocked to the Packers in the next draft, which makes me happy. Him plus a FA RT would make for a good OL. I also think Dillon gets undo criticism and his numbers are only poor because of the line in front of him. I'd be happy to see him back next season, though if I were him I'd go to the Steelers or Titans or whatever team values more of a power RB.
-
Dobbs can at least help convince Vikings fans they're trying to win, so it makes sense. Sure you can tank but you have to pretend like you're not trying to. But what does Chicago get with Sweat now as opposed to just throwing money at him in FA in the off-season? Do they get draft compensation if he leaves or something?
-
It got talked about a lot during Shaq's FT troubles that the taller guys can't get as much of a down-angle on their shot as the shorter guys, leading to a worse %.
-
You can't really make too many conclusions about a QB when all the other working parts (OL, WR, Coaching) aren't good. We'd be saying Sam Darnold was a decent QB if he only wound up in better spots than NY and Carolina. Fashanu will go well before the Packers pick, so it's Joe Alt or bust for me. And I'm also in the camp that a G/C would be great in the second round, too.
-
Well, sure been a fun past couple months. SEC got destroyed in their court case and have announced that they won't be appealing the decision, making it certain-but-not-technically-certain for the ETFs to arrive but at an unknown time. Apparently BlackRock posted their ETF ticker yesterday and the SEC of course made them take it down. Tempted to take profits now, which would probably be the smart thing to do, but a $34k BTC still doesn't seem over-bought and I'm more tempted to just keep doubling down and hold until that ETF does indeed arrive, whenever that might be. Plus Ark and BlackRock will be buying up a lot of BTC in the meantime.
-
Purina is opening a factory near me and the entry-level folks are starting at $55k. It was pretty tempting. Plus I assume like the M&M factory it's ok to snack while you're working:)
-
That's the best advertising MLB could have ever gotten for itself. Though I can't help but think how disconcerting it would be to discover everything you were saying to your buddy was being recorded.
-
Carolina turned down two first-rounders from the Rams for Burnes, but I think they've realized they should have accepted it and gotten Young more help. If the Packers traded Watson, and I really don't see any reason they'd do so, I'm sure the return would come from whatever they'd get for Burnes. Not to say that Watson is a superstar or anything, but I think we're really overestimating our remaining guys to think we could get by fine without Watson. Really crossing my fingers for Joe Alt next year but I get the feeling he won't last until we pick.
-
Bucks offense last year was 28th after a TO, and their half-court offense looked more like four guys passing it to Giannis and getting a breather. Plus the team was 21st in free throw attempts. And an interesting statistic I saw is that the Bucks were 5th worst in the League at driving the lane. Lillard pretty significantly improves all the things the Bucks were bad at last year.

I had the same thought, that the economic ball was going to drop, so I moved my money into more recession-type accounts. About six months ago moved my 401k into a bond account, though how garbage my 401k mutual funds are, it really hasn't much under performed the other options. Even their "small cap fund" is 60% bonds. Took a big hit when Origin Materials had a bad report and lost 65% overnight. That one hurt. Otherwise moved things to Western Union which is doing a +12%, Cal-Maine Foods is a +5% but it pays an 11% dividend. Also holding onto Butterfield Bank which is an offshore tax haven bank at +16%. Origin Materials has me losing to the S&P YTD but otherwise I'm doing ok. May be the first time in a while I don't beat the market on the year. Butterfield was recently downgraded but I'm otherwise holding to what I have. Still not positive on the economy and happy with WU and CALM.

Sure a big risk to pass up #1 overall money to try not to get inured another year in order to make #1 overall money. Plus still a good chance the next #1 overall team is equally bad at developing QBs. Plus the Bears will be starting over with a brand new coaching staff specifically hired to develop YOU. If it's the Bears they take Williams and Fashanu. If it's the Cardinals they take Williams and that WR Harrison. Murray only has a $13M dead cap hit if he's traded, though I can't imagine they could land much in return. Murray is eligible to come off the PUP list, but the team hasn't bothered doing so. They're done with him and wouldn't want to interrupt from their tank season.
-
I assumed Nixon was only taking it out when he otherwise shouldn't have because we were down by a lot so soon and we were hoping for the big play. If we were tied that's one thing, but isn't it a more reasonable risk to take when you're down three scores? Is Dillon really that bad or is it more that he's strictly a N/S runner and he's stuck hoping Newman and Myers hold their blocks? I couldn't find any Jones vs. Dillon YPC average when running between tackles. Two years ago Dillon danced a lot and now he never does, so I wonder if he also suffers a lot from the coaching staff trying to change too much about him. I think he'll see more success as a RB eventually, just not on the Packers.

Jrue had posted a Tweet just hours before the trade happened that he loved Milwaukee and wanted to retire as a Buck :(
-
Imagine the energy Lillard is going to have now that he's not carrying an entire city on his back!
-
We must be in luxury tax hell right now.

Just heard. What????? Will miss Holiday's defense, but it's also reasonable to say he's slowing down a smidge. And Grayson wasn't seeing the court in crucial minutes because he can't play defense. And what's best is so much of the offensive load was being thrown on Giannis, but not any more. Good luck trying to triple team Giannis now!
