  1. UCONN looks like the only strong #1 this year and that probably means they will have an early exit. Of the #1’s I think UCONN has the best chance to win it all. I think Purdue gets bounced early especially if they get in foul trouble. The Badgers coming back to life again maybe a good pick to make it to the sweet 16. Though if they play someone with a good big and that big doesn’t get in foul trouble they maybe in trouble. In the above bracket a Creighton matchup would be a real challenge for the Badgers. If Creighton is hot at 3 that could be an early exit for the Badgers.
  2. Maybe not but the Bears have the players in place for Williams to be successful in the NFL. Moore, Allen and Kmet is a pretty good start. Not to mention the Bears could get another good WR in this draft at #9. They could also get a decent RB in the 3rd or 5th round. They do need another OT and they could get a generational QB and OT at 1 and 9. The Bears also still have a ton of cap room to add more if they wanted to in FA. Back to the draft I wouldn’t be surprised if the Vikings get desperate and trade up to 9 and give up the 11th and 23rd picks to get a QB if there is a run on QB’s early. The Raiders, Broncos and Vikings will all be competing for the 6-9 picks. I think the Saints, Seahawks and Rams will also be vying for those picks to get a WR, OT or QB. I think the Saints could be a surprise team that takes a QB early.
  3. Caleb Williams should be fine as he will have Moore and Allen to throw to along with Kmet. The Bears are really close in competing for a playoff spot. They need some more help on the OL and DL but they should be able to address both in the draft now. They could also trade down from 9 and get more picks especially if there is a run on QB’s. I am not sure who thought the Bears could get a 1st or 2nd. At best I was thinking a 3rd and more likely a 4th which this trade could turn into. I think the best case scenario was a late 2nd round pick if there was a bidding war. There never was going to be a bidding war for Fields. He is just not accurate enough to be a NFL starting QB. I said this when he was drafted the accuracy is just not there and he is also extremely slow at reading defenses in the passing game. WR’s come open and he is 3-5 seconds late in seeing it. That is a long time as it is the difference between completing the pass or not.
  4. For me Izzo is a better coach than coach K was at Duke. K gets all the glory but to me Izzo was better and vastly underrated compared to how K was perceived at least by the media mainly ESPN.
  5. That is a players decision and not a team decision.
  6. Unlikely. The fed still sees inflation as more of a problem than employment.
  7. The fed is responsible for keeping inflation in check for the most part. The feds best tool is raising and cutting rates. Again inflation is still not where the fed wants it to be. I wouldn’t expect a rate cut to occur unless the economy starts to falter a bit. If the economy is fine and inflation is still too high for the fed expect another rate increase. A rate cut will only come if the fed believes the economy is in trouble of faltering a bit. I think we are still in a bit of a slightly flat economy so I think the fed will hold for now and may raise depending on the next quarters inflation numbers.
  8. I don’t believe there will be two rate cuts and if they do one it is because the economy would be sluggish. If you are truly a bull or optimistic about the economy then rate cuts wouldn’t be what you are expecting. The stock market isn’t really an indicator that I would use for rate cuts or increases. You would want to look into liquidity and the bond markets for that. The fed hasn’t really given much of an indication on what they are going to do. I expect a flat rate for a few quarters. Maybe a rate cut in Q3 if the economy is sluggish. I don’t expect the economy to turn sluggish but I think the Fed is going to keep watching inflation closely. I think it is more likely we see at least one rate increase than we are to see two rate cuts.
  9. I think Jones made more sense with the Bears than with the Vikings even with the Bears signing Swift.
  10. The Vikings are currently at the 11th pick. The Bears have the 9th pick and the 1st pick in the draft.
  11. I have been having a lot of fun with my friends playing Helldivers 2. Very frustrating and fun at the higher levels. Also a lot of laughs and funny moments running away from bugs and robots.
  12. To me Bauers and JD are the same player. So neither excite me at all.
  13. This team is like a fun house mirror.
  14. Just no.
  15. If a team acquires a player before OD they are allowed to offer the QO and receive compensation. The player has to be on the team from the start of the season to qualify for a team to receive compensation. The MLB season hasn't started yet so trades that happen now and before the start of the season qualify for compensation.
  16. Brewers announce the roster for the Spring Breakout game. https://www.mlb.com/news/brewers-spring-breakout-roster-2024
  17. Microsoft knows best and you can’t change that.
  18. I disagree the story was a bit off but was easy to follow at least for me but I have read the book. So maybe that is why I was able to follow it. Story wasn’t the greatest but I still loved the movie. Probably the best movie I have seen in awhile.
  19. Dune Part 2 is a great movie.
  20. Have been hearing some really good things about the 2nd Dune movie. Definitely going to see it this weekend.
  21. I think you would need some kind of tracker in the ball to take it away from the officials and even then there are plays that would be up to the officials to spot the ball. Would help with touchdowns and field goals kind of like the lamp for a goal in hockey. I am actually surprised the NFL hasn't adopted something like this for TD's, FG's and extra points. Actually I would like to have the kick and 2-pt tries eliminated.
  22. I don’t like the rating system at all and I will leave it at that.
