Yeah, but that's pressures, not sacks. Only sacks count! ONLY SACKS COUNT!!!

Would you accept the Paul Skenes card offer?
LouisEly replied to Frisbee Slider's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Christie's and Sotheby's charge 15%. They also typically charge a buyer's premium of 10+%. -

LouisEly replied to Frisbee Slider's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Yep. If it goes for $1M, he'll get ~$500K after taxes and auction house fees. Stick half of that into a trust that he gets when he's 55 and he'll never have to save or invest another dollar for the rest of his life. -

It was a game in Livvy Dunne's box. She's dating Skenes, both went to LSU. Insert joke about an 11 year old not understanding the significance of Livvy Dunne's box... -
Good thing you didn't. Down 5% today.

The top models are the most profitable, and being able to operate on reduced capacity chips opens the door to competitors who may be able to produce reduced-capacity chips but cannot match NVDA's top of the line chips. Competitors may not have those chips now, but they are developing them and valuation is based on expected future earnings, not present earnings.
-
The AI announcement was the cause of the drop, and it does affect NVDA. Deep Seek is able to run on reduced-capacity chips, potentially affecting the demand for NVDA's top of the line chips.
-
NVDA correction has hit hard today. DOW actually up slightly, but NVDA weighting on NASDAQ and S&P 500 has both down significantly. CBOE 10-year note down over 2% already today.

Hopkins played 10 games this season. And he was acquired in a trade from TEN in week 7 and played 16 games this season. That's not missing "almost the entire season". You might want to read a little closer.

Rashee Rice is their best receiver who was out most of the year. And he's never been an All Pro or Pro Bowler.

How about this trump card: https://brewerfanatic.com/forums/topic/37466-packer-2021-team-discussion-20/page/22/#comment-1412484 "This 49ers over Packers hype is based on a game from 2 season ago where the Packers were substantially worse and the 49ers were substantially better. " Yes, people were saying that the 49ers were better. You even said so yourself. Or this trump card: https://brewerfanatic.com/forums/topic/37466-packer-2021-team-discussion-20/page/23/#comment-1412494 "They may be 10-7 but they are 9-3 after that 4-game skid. " They were better than 10-7. You even said so yourself.

Funny, I don't see any All Pro or Pro Bowl awards to his credit. I would hope that you understand the difference between being out a starter and being out an All Pro and a Pro Bowler.

You mean besides being sacked five times because they were without Bakh and Jenkins?
-
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.
