    Is there a reason you need portable? They typically have a max run time of 12 hours. My parents have a whole-home generator. They're more expensive ($5k), but they connect to your home's LP or natural gas source and thus can run as long as necessary.

    What in the world are you talking about? There is no "blanket mandate for EVs" in Chicago or Illinois. The nine states planning to adopt zero-emission mandates (not EVs specifically - just zero emission) are all coastal states. Most people in NY are in the NYC area which doesn't get that cold (I lived there for 1.5 years - the Atlantic currents keep the NYC area fairly moderate). Same with MA and Boston. Same w/WA and Seattle. VT, yes, but there aren't even 700k people in VT.

    According to the article from McCalvy that was linked in @Joseph Zarr's post, the new facility can house over 100 people. It has four fields so they can have a formal game w/another team on one field and other players working on fundamentals/simulated games on other fields allowing for a larger roster and more development time. They can keep more people there for an extra year to see if they can develop before having to make a decision on Arizona or bust.

    For the 3-4 days a year that this is actually an issue, yes. And yes, anyone who lives somewhere with a very cold winter climate should be aware that if they don't have an enclosed garage with a private charger and rely on outdoor public charging stations this can happen the 3-4 days a year that it gets that cold.

    I live in Chicago and it's primarily because those people are relying on public chargers that are outdoors instead of having a private charger in a garage which will be much warmer than outdoors. I say "primarily" because some people who own them don't have a garage or have a community garage (apartment or condo building) that may not have chargers or may be open-air and not fully enclosed. People who have private chargers in fully-enclosed garages (in which they can put a space heater if necessary) aren't having these issues. Cold weather can decrease the range and increase charging time, but it will not "kill" their batteries.

    Lost two of their best defenders in Javon Hargrave (11 sacks in 2022) and TJ Edwards (159 tackles in 2022) and Brandon Graham started showing his age (11 sacks in 2022, 3 in 2023). Eagles had 70 sacks in 2022 vs 43 in 2023. Hurts threw nine more INTs in 2023 than 2022 and only one more TD.

    Stephen A. Smith is priceless this morning on First Take. Hopefully you set the DVR. See if you can find a replay.

    Once Chourio makes the ML roster (and I don't think that opening day is a given despite the contract) I think Yelich will be the primary DH. A defensive outfield of Chourio, Frelick, and Mitchell will be like having four OFs. There will be plenty of ABs available for Yelich, Frelick, Mitchell, and Chourio with Wiemer at AAA. Perkins is nothing more than a backup.

    The Packers have more playoff wins at AT&T Stadium than the Cowboys do. (Not including a Super Bowl win.)

    Northwestern beat Purdue a month ago. Give Northwestern some credit - they're good enough to beat a top-5 team (ranked #1 going into this week).

    If Slaton would have kept his cool they would have been fine.

    It gave their opponents a better chance to get out of town safely instead of being stuck there.

    FBTC down 6% today. Bitcoin down 8%.

    Purdue lost to Nebraska. Kansas lost to UCF. Houston's the last remaining undefeated team and probably is going to be #1 next week. Wide open this year.

    And the thing that people aren't talking about - tampering, and having to continually recruit your own players. If there's one person who has the clout to get everyone on the same page and establish some regulations (without getting sued for anti-competitive practices), it might be him. Hopefully that's his next venture.

    What makes you believe that acquiring Sale - who hasn't pitched more than 103 innings in a season since 2019 and more than 160 innings in a season since 2017 - makes them bow out of acquiring Cease or Burnes? Add to Sale's injury history the fact that Smith-Shawver hasn't pitched 100 innings in a pro season yet, and the Braves still haven't acquired anyone who can reliably get them through October. Their problem isn't getting to October - it's getting through October.

    Oh, I agree - an elite, All-Pro caliber LT is worth 19, 41, and a 3rd... ... assuming they actually develop into that elite, AP-caliber LT. But you have to account for risk. Maybe they can't stick at LT (McGlinchey, Conklin, Scherff, Gallery), maybe they get injured (Becton, Derek Sherrod), maybe they develop a medical condition (concussions, heart issue), maybe they can't adapt to the pro game (Joeckel, Jason Smith) or get in legal trouble and are out of the league in 4-5 years. In the event that they don't become that elite LT, three high picks were used to get a player who isn't worth three high picks. Trading more than two high picks for a player often doesn't work out.

    By far the biggest offseason need is safety. The only guys under contract next year are Johnson and Zayne Anderson; everyone else is an unrestricted free agent. Given that they will be drafting no lower than #19, they're in a great spot to get either Cooper DeJean or Kamren Kinchens without reaching. Will probably have to move up from #41 to get Tyler Nubin, but with two picks in the 2nd and 3rd I think they are going to move up from #41 anyway. Moving up to get Alt or Fashanu will cost at least #19, #41, and a 3rd. Just too much. Quick, way-too-early guesses based just off of PFF rankings: #19: DeJean, Kinchens, McKinstry #41: Patrick Paul, Tyler Nubin, Byron Murphy #52: Powers-Johnson, Denzel Burke, Brenden Rice #83: Javon Bullard, Braden Fiske, Sedrick Van Pran #92: Khyree Jackson, Donovan Edwards, Jaden Hicks #120: Ray Davis, Kamal Hadden, Javon Foster Looks like Lazard getting benched at the end of the season might push his comp pick down to the 5th round,

    Wow, they restocked that LB room quickly. I know they wanted to rotate their LBs in/out a lot more than they did. Going to be some competition in the ILB room. Guessing; 1st string: Jaheim Thomas, Tackett Curtis 2nd string: two of Jake Chaney/Sebastian Cheeks/Christian Alliegro (Alliegro may move to OLB) 3rd string: Bryan Sanborn, Tyler Jansey OLB: 1st string: Darryl Peterson, Aaron Witt 2nd string: John Pius, Jeff Pietrowski (or Alliegro) 3rd string: Leon Lowery, Lafaele/Heiberger I could see Witt putting on 15 lbs now that he's healthy and moving to DE, given the shortage there.

    Washington had their chances. Penix missed several guys who were wide open for big gains. Looked like the Badgers defense forgetting to show up in the first quarter. The interception where the OL stepped on Penix's foot was bad luck and gave UM a short field. Gives credibility to Ohio State's claims of deserving to be in the playoffs, and hopefully helps dispel the notion that we should bow to the SEC for playoff selections.

    Moving forward, can we please put all minor league deals even if they include a ML camp invite in the minor league section so we can avoid this kind of reaction to a minor league signing?

    Doesn't matter, the Bears still suck.

    Mark Brunell had a pretty nice career. According to Pro Football Reference, Corey Linsley is ahead of Jones as well.

    Teams also hope that the free agents they sign live up to their past performance and hope that they don't get injured.
