    Yeah and who's gonna pay for that stadium? Not raiders management

    A lot of money will come from tourist tax.  I read that a plan was to add an extra $1.50 hotel tax which was guess to come out to around 750million a year.

    Quinn was the one that got me as well.  He was probably my favorite character for the past few seasons, but there were many early on where you were hoping they'd just kill him off and be done with it.  He's started to get shades of his pre-poisoning self in the last few weeks and he's back to probably being one of the smartest people despite his disabilities.  It's always better when Quinn is an assassin.

    Yea, it was brutal watching who he was early in this season.  As a veteran I always enjoy seeing people who are trained in combat against amateurs, sadly I see him sacrificing himself at some point to save Cari

    Agreed.  It hasn't been the quickest buildup, but they've really transformed this show over the last 2 weeks.  Dar finally becoming the enemy was long awaited and I think they're doing it justice so far.

    I am even enjoying Peter's story, at first I was very disappointed in where they had him going, but it seems as if he has found purpose.  Overall this season will be a failure in my mind, but at least its watchable now.

    The Ravens need a major rethink of their strategic plan.  Expect the owner to make move(s) at the top before season starts.  Unfortunately, the Ravens have not recovered from the handling of the Ray Rice incident.  Suggest making a list of those things the Ravens do well (keep doing them) and a list of those things the Ravens do not do well (eliminate them) and then move personnel, accordingly.  Right now without radical changes in their strategy, the Ravens remain third tier.   

    There wont be significant changes made at the top before the season starts.  If there were, they would of already made the changes so everyone had time to adjust through the offseason.

    Extreme example is Tom Brady.  Obviously, knowing what we know now, he would be the #1 pick in any draft class.  But, taking him in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and to a less extent 5th rounds that year would have been bad value because you can get him later.

    Another example: the market rate for an employee is $50,000 and you can hire him for that.  It would be foolish to pay him $75,000, no matter how good you think he might be.

    Yea I gather all this.  Im having a hard time putting my thought into words

    I really like picking up Gordon, I think he could be a great player and if he messes up again then he's not our problem anymore. Low risk, high reward. If he can't stop violating the rules in a job that gets him millions of dollars a year for playing an awesome sport, he won't be able to stay on the team. Just an ounce of maturity could get us great talent at a low price.

    pretty sure he's got an ounce of other stuff already

    My only question is this.......... Why must we wait until we hear the coach and the owner admit that he needs to play better before it's considered credible information?  

    You guys love Flacco to a fault.  

    The man is seriously an average QB at best.

    He is the standard, if you're looking for mediocrity. 

    You must not know how to read, almost every single member here has said he needs to play better, Joe himself has said it.  If you continue to ignore what everyone says it just makes you look flat out stupid.  Its like going to McDonalds complaining that there isn't any big macs, while they are fully stocked....You just whine to whine and like the attention while you never make and solid points.

    One thing I don't get about the draft is when the word value is brought up.  Im going to try to explain this the best I can, lets use Charles Harris as an example.  

    I see a lot of people saying taking him at 16 is too early, but if we traded back to the 20s no big deal.  Now I know we would be getting an extra pick out of that, but how do you put a value of the production difference from slot 16 to say 25. 

    It would be like saying Suggs would have been a reach at 4 but at 10 it was a great pick.  Well, considering the career he had, I think most people would of been comfortable picking him at 4.  I don't know if im conveying my thoughts very well....work is crazy busy.

    With all due respect, what the hell does that even mean? I'll forgive poor spelling if you actually convey a thought (it doesn't even have to be an intelligent one) but I don't even think you managed to pull that off this time. 

    And I don't give a crap about yardage when his efficiency was garbage. Joe Flacco is about as efficient as a Hummer, but at least he's big and flashy with the big plays.

    What kind of hummer?

    The truth is, for the past season you've really only needed to watch about the last 5-10 min of the show to get the value.  That's cause the rest is pure, uncut filler...  Is filer uncut?  Anyway, you get the point.  I'm with you.  You're frustrated to the point that most of the things they do are stupid and it's also they've been rinsing and repeating this goddam formula for so long at this point.  I don't expect anything great from the next two episodes.  Maybe one wow moment, while left after the season finale wondering why I'm still going to come back for more...

    The only redemption for this season is to have everyone die and the series be over....and I don't know if that will even be enough to redeem it.

    I don't think Gilmore is refined much. He doesn't know how to beat double teams and some of his routes are a little rusty. He doesn't move all that well either but I think he's definitely got a spot here. 

    I think that guy has such raw talent, I was really looking forward to seeing him develop this last year.  He is a beast, but he might just be a bigger version of Camp

    Perfect explanation. 

    I die a little inside with each episode I watch.  About to start re-watching Always Sunny...

    I might hate this show so much that I unfairly judge it.  I just seem to look for things to be mad about, although the show makes it damn easy.

    You didn't watch long enough to watch the development of Norman's mental illness, too bad.

    And wow that is a lot of shows, when do you have time to sleep? :P So if you had to pick only one to recommend, what would it be? I like to sleep. :D

    Just depends on the genre you like.  The Newsroom is a great show and is only 2 and a half seasons.  Westworld is a sci-fi genre that is very mind blowing.  True Detective Season 1 is easily at the top of my list of favorite shows of all time. 

    I love sleep as well, until im binge watching.
