    Do You Trust John Schneider?

    I think JS is above average but has higher variance. It's basically feast or famine - Really good players or complete head scratchers.

    Is it arrogance?

    Because we aren't binary creatures. I am invested enough to want to talk about the how and why and when of the Hawks. But I'm not so invested that I'm really put out by lack of SBs. I usually count my blessings in the offseason and rattle off curses during the season. ;) I think you are...

    Is it arrogance?

    Because none of us have actual agency in whether they make it to the SB or not? I mean, honestly, we're all interested fans here but I wouldn't work myself up over something I have no hand in over the course of years and years.

    Is it arrogance?

    Personally, I'm riding high on the future, so I'll defer until after the draft to sandbag the team ;)

    Is it arrogance?

    I wouldn't say this is specifically arrogance. Arrogance is trading for a player and then using him in 'your way' despite everything good about him only being on display if you don't use him 'your way'. Why is this arrogance? The assumption that you face no opportunity cost in rejiggering a...

    Of course. Just of course.

    Antonio Brown to the Raiders

    Man, AB is being outlandish. I generally think players are righteous in whatever they do with regards to pursuing money and not playing but like, know your value AB. Sheesh!

    I'm getting season tix sight unseen. Key Arena is just a short ride or nice walk down the hill from me and in person hockey is the best in person spectator sport IMHO.

    I was referring to the old NASL which predated me by quite a few years.

    Russell Wilson to Giants? - NBC Sports comentary

    And here's a nuanced point - Hawks may have not even drafted that poorly. Average even. High variance with booms and busts even. The margins might be 1 or 2 high level players missed in 2015's draft that could have been part of better 2016-2018 campaigns. It's seriously hard to know for certain...

    Russell Wilson to Giants? - NBC Sports comentary

    Sing it high, sing it low! This is exactly the conversation about team building that QB contracts excuses. No matter how much you pay your QB, high or low, and no matter how integral a QB is to aggregate team success, you can't bork the draft repeatedly and expect a QB to cover for it over and...

    And the last sentence has to be actualized in thought - we can't point to one exception, voluntarily taking less than he COULD, to buttress an instructive point about what the Hawks and RW should do. Singularly unique exceptions lead to incoherent arguments.

    What were some of the downfalls of the NASL? Curious what lessons can be learned there.

    Russell Wilson to Giants? - NBC Sports comentary

    Also to flesh out success a bit more, we all want to see the Hawks enjoy success (unless we have some ulterior desire that requires failure to facilitate deferred success). But I am reminded of how god awful the actual guts of games were in 2017. So absent ultimate success, absent incremental...

    Well the cap inflation is predicated on revenue increases. It's not like a central bank printing off currency to spur inflation and reduce the value of debt among other things. The owners don't sit in a room and go "Ya know, we all could use an extra 10 MM before the 2020 season" There is always...

    Incremental improvement over last season's effort until it puts you in a place to net occasional trophy. There's a reason I was ridiculously optimistic even after the 2012 playoff bounce and it was the delta from where they started and where they finished with new parts in the machine. And...

    The end of football will look like this.

    Don't make me throw myself off this football shaped ledge, man!

    Flesh out why it is stupid and not merely a situation for NFL teams to deal with ;)

    The end of football will look like this.

    Two ways to possibly react to this idea: 1. Get mad at football for changing and find nothing satisfactory to fill that football shaped hole in your soul 2. Learn to enjoy the game of Rugby more in supplement to watching football.
