And who were they behind? The rest of the NFC North that year was 17-33. The rest of the NFC West was 30-21 (and one of those teams won a really important game). Sorry, but the Packers weren't really the best team in the NFC that year. They were propped up by a weak schedule, and everybody knew going into the game that they were in deep doo doo being without Bakh and Jenkins against Bosa and Armstead. Without Bakh and Jenkins, San Francisco was the better team and Rodgers was running for his life all game and was sacked five times.
-
What year was that? I recall them losing to a 10-7 San Francisco team in 2022. SF was a wild card team that year because the Rams finished 12-5 and the Cardinals 11-6. Oh, and Packers were also without Elgton Jenkins that game. Sorry, but if you are without an All-Pro LT and a Pro Bowl LG against one of the best DLs in the league... yeah, that's an excuse for losing. What All-Pro and Pro Bowl players have the Eagles been missing during their Super Bowl seasons?
-
I think that if a few years ago the Eagles lost Lane Johnson essentially for his career and Landon Dickerson for the playoffs, I don't think that they go to three Super Bowls.
-
So, the Eagles can take the ball away from a Packer who recovers a fumble and it gets awarded to the Eagles, but if a Washington Commander takes the ball away from an Eagle who recovers a fumble it gets awarded back to the Eagles. I think it's clear who the NFL wants to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl.

There's always inflation. If we don't have at least some inflation, that usually means there's a big problem on the horizon. It's just a matter of how much inflation and what the balance is among the entire PCE/CPI. Some things go up, some things go down, but it usually nets around 2-3%. The "current events" things are not anything new; they've been around for years and yet we are still under 3% inflation. Trump threatened tariffs in 2016; they didn't amount to any spike in inflation from 2017-2020. There's recency bias in the market right now. People are scared that the slightest little thing will lead to 8% inflation again, because we haven't had that type of inflation in over 40 years (and the inflation in the 70's and early 80's was higher than 8%). What people forget is that what drove most of that inflation in 2021-2023 was supply, not demand. The reality is that the Fed didn't start raising interest rates until inflation got to almost 8%; they're not going to raise rates if inflation crosses back over 3%. The Fed has said that current rates are "restrictive", and as I've learned the hard way, don't fight the Fed.

Lumber is a very, very small part of the cost of building a house. And new homes are a small percentage of the housing market. And the tariffs haven't been enacted yet.

How much is it really going to affect the CPI? https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2022/01/24/as-inflation-soars-a-look-at-whats-inside-the-consumer-price-index/ Shelter - 32% - no/minimal impact (small effect on home repairs for goods, but no effect on labor; houses aren't imported) Food - 14% - minimal impact, most food is domestically produced Energy - 7.5% - minimal impact, most energy is domestically produced Medical care services- 7% - minimal impact, products/devices may be affected but most is labor (doctors) which has no impact on Education/communication services - 6% - no/minimal impact Transportation services (or any other services) - 5% - impact on products/goods, but no impact on labor cost Transportation commodities - 8% - yes for new cars, but new cars are only purchased about every five years and 2.5x as many used cars are purchased as new cars and won't affect used car prices; if new car prices rise, people will shift to used cars So yes, tariffs may cause some prices to rise, but for a vast majority of the CPI it they will have no impact.

Another portal entry finds that the grass isn't greener elsewhere as redshirt FR DL Jamel Howard withdraws from the portal. They lost four to graduation/transfers, but got five back (six if you include Howard) and what was perhaps the thinnest position now has perhaps the most depth. How would any player want to go to UW after they way they've treated Xavier Lucas??

Labor Discussion - Salary Cap, Local TV Sharing
LouisEly replied to Austin Tatious's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Let's keep the general salary cap discussion to this thread. Was just spitballing a few things. What if... the winner of the World Series had a hard salary cap for the next three years. Only the winner. Go over the hard cap and you lose your entire draft bonus pool and all picks in the first 10 rounds. In theory, only at most three teams would have a hard salary cap. They don't have to get rid of players if they don't want to, they could just forfeit the draft picks. Salaries are guaranteed, so the players won't take a pay cut even if they get traded to another team. Kind of like the opposite of the draft lottery and how teams that receive revenue-sharing payouts can't receive a lottery pick for more than two years in a row and those that don't can't get a top-six choice in consecutive drafts. -
I wouldn't say that. They drove 70 yards twice in the snow and the second time got inside the 15 yard line only to have a rookie center miss a blocking assignment. They gained 140 yards on the Eagles defense in less than five minutes in the snow. I'd say that's the last thing from "couldn't do a thing".

Based on their profiles, they are content marketing. They are putting out content to try to get people to engage and view/consider their services, as based on their titles (recruiter, "campus to career pathway", keynote speaker, headhunter) they are likely paid by providing their services to people. Yes, people who own their own business who provide business and professional services do a lot of content marketing on LinkedIn. It's cheap advertising and all it costs is their time to put it together. It's a form of advertising; like all advertising, some is good and some is not. I would not call content marketing "toxic", even if it isn't good.

Curious as to why you think LinkedIn is a cancer. It made my job search a lot easier with being able to see if/who I know there, or if who someone who will vouch for me knows someone who may be the hiring manager or influential in the hiring process. Being able to see how many people have applied is helpful too as that can say if they're really hiring or if the job has been out there for a while (1,000 applicants) and they're not really hiring/hiring freeze/laid off the HR person who was responsible for taking it down. Seeing all of the jobs I applied for in one place and the status is very helpful. I have a little bit of experience with the job search thing and LinkedIn made it a lot easier than it could have been.

UW used a template that came from the Big Ten for Lucas's contract. I'm guessing that template is something new, and only available to Big Ten schools, thus why it hasn't happened before. And I'm guessing that the two year contract that Lucas signed is not very common either. I'm also guessing that most college students are smart enough to know that when they sign a contract, it's binding.
-
And within 20 minutes of UW releasing their statement, the Big Ten releases a statement in strong support of UW and also alleging tampering by Miami. In writing:

Funny thing is that the Packers looked the best (least worst?) of all of them.

He was probably the only celebrity who made their way into our living rooms, bedrooms, backyards, patios, and cars thousands of times. In that way, he was family.

Not only that, but they closed the original Chippewa Falls brewery this week. Shifted all of that production to Milwaukee. Not a good week to be a born and bred Wisconsinite.

I think you're confusing "price increase" with "inflation".. They're not the same thing. Price increase is a one-time thing, which tariffs may cause. Inflation is the rate of change over time, which tariffs don't affect because tariffs don't keep increasing over time.
-
That's not what I said. I said that tariffs don't cause inflation (sources cited), the administration will not deport millions of illegals due to the cost, and that the California wildfires specifically will not affect inflation any more than the recent hurricanes in Florida.
-
Gutey said in his press conference that there is an increased urgency now. So, I assume that means a shorter leash for coaches. Also, there were rumblings during the season that the DL didn't think like their coach's philosophy, so there may have been pressure from the players to replace him as well.
-
The 10-year is artificially inflated because of fears that tariffs, deporting millions of illegals, and increased insurance rates due to the California wildfires are going to cause inflation to spike back up, causing the Fed to raise rates. Just fears. The reality is that tariffs don't cause inflation and that deporting a million illegals might cost an estimated $80+ billion dollars, which is unlikely to happen with an administration focusing on government efficiency. And the California wildfires have affected a small fraction of the number of people affected by the recent hurricanes in Florida. The Fed didn't start raising interest rates until inflation got to almost 8%; they' re not going to start raising rates if inflation crosses over 3%. To your point though, it may take a year before the institutional investors realize this. The Fed has said that current rates are "restrictive", and as I've learned the hard way, don't fight the Fed.
