    As much as I want them to get Flagg, the worst seed never seems gets #1. Jazz have a 47% chance of getting the 5th seed with the worst record. Dallas will probably get it.

    The biggest concern with tanking is the allowance of bad habits a tank affords. To a large extent I am fine with passing turnovers and missed shots, as young guys are figuring it out, but the consistent missed rotations on D drive me crazy.

    Agreed. The first step would be an analysis of actual savings and where the mandatory programs would be sent to and who would oversee them. All I have heard is pie in the sky.

    Because the programs will still need to be operated (loans, etc.) I doubt there will be a lot in savings other than some admin costs, but that could still be 5% or more. I have no issue closing departments if they can still be run properly through other departments.

    Cheesesteak topping

    Mezzetta also has awesome spicy cherry peppers. I add some to their Giardiniera and put it on homemade meatball subs. Great on cold italian meat subs too. For cheesesteaks I prefer straight jalapenos over the giardiniera mix.

    True, but a lot of awful turnovers. Super high usage.

    Sexton has looked like ****. After the emergence of Collier, even with his need for a lot of improvement, it is hard to watch Collins hog the ball and freeze the offense while basically neutralizing Collier at the same time. If Hardy won't let Collier run things when Sexton is on the court then...

    Two soliders were in a tank. They drowned.

    There is a variety, but yeah, a lot of the same. A friend of mine owns Takorean, I know they went brick and mortar but I think they still do the truck. DC and Portland are two cities I lived in that I miss the food, but am glad I don't have to raise my kids in either one.

    I lived there for a few years. Nice thing with the Metro is it is easy to get to different spots. Lots of spots open at night. Adams Morgan and U Street have a lot going on. Downtown gets quiet but there is still a lot to do. Some museums reopen with night hours, or at least they used to.

    I have called it a Ponzi scheme too for what you discuss. The scheme is giving benefit to people for years but not charging them enough to cover their future benefit (or using the fund for more than retirement). The scheme is we (current taxpayers) will be paying much more in ten years or less...

    He reminds me of many players that have the tools but never get "it". Don't make the effort to play defense, don't get back on D gums up the offense. I really like him, I think he could be a Joe Johnson type on offense with his ability to score at his pace, but he needs to get it together...

    Larry Bird once played a full game shooting left handed. The Jazz should try this tonight.

    The *OFFICIAL* Russia Is About To Invade Ukraine Thread

    The problem is we need our allies to step up. We spend close to double what all of our NATO allies spend combined. And all we've asked is they get to the 2% minimum when we are close to 4% and a good chunk of them refuse to do that. The cap really should be raised to 3% and spending be a...

    The *OFFICIAL* Russia Is About To Invade Ukraine Thread

    Right, we contribute to conditions that cause mass death, destruction and our notion of peace is to let Russia keep a bunch of Ukrainian territory. Sounds about right.

    The *OFFICIAL* Russia Is About To Invade Ukraine Thread

    Correct. I noted that we broke our deal and made more countries and Russia did nothing in response. I believe Finland, Estonia and Latvia (last two are very small) border Russia. Finland just recently joined. Ukraine has a large border with Russia and Russia has fewer military support in that...
