- seriously? the nasdaq is up fractionally and the s + p is off 0.24%. even the dow is only -0.48% that's "shaking with rage"?...nm - x Jul 29, 12:11 3
  - hey, i never claimed my brother was immune to hyperbole when chatting with his big bro on the internets. -- nm - TFox Jul 29, 12:11 2
    - (and to be clear, he was talking about like "people he knows on Wall St", not "Wall St" as a unit.) -- nm - TFox Jul 29, 12:12 1
      - fair enough. personally i don't think the markets in general have shown a lot of worry overall about what's happening with the debt limit thus far... - x Jul 29, 12:16

    - I love this quote -- nm - crash davis Jul 29, 12:14
    - i mean, company isn't gunning for it.. it also means their investments lose value and their stock drops, but at least there's one positive... -- nm - colin Jul 29, 12:11 1
      - op, this wasn't under my post. sorry, not trying to hijack the conversation. -- nm - colin Jul 29, 12:16
    - i honestly think most people do want that. - tRuMaN Jul 29, 12:11 33
      - I may draw some fire for this but... - Mel Profit Jul 29, 12:25 6
        
        I think there's a nugget in here, but I think it's more like they think they're starting the new American Revolution that will change the country to - pmb Jul 29, 12:36 3
        
        Kevin Costner is not showing up. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 29, 12:41
        
        I think this probably applies here... -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Jul 29, 12:38 1
        
        I think that begins to describe the struggle between the democrats and republicans (obviously I disagree completely with what the article supports), - pmb Jul 29, 12:44
        
        true. plus - tRuMaN Jul 29, 12:27

      - aren't you just a little curious what might happen? - colin Jul 29, 12:14 23
        
        sure. there's also always people who write books about the dow going to 36,000 as well....nm - x Jul 29, 12:27 1
        
        well they're just being stupid ;) -- nm - colin Jul 29, 12:33
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        oh i do.. but it's really hard for me to find a good connection between what will happen and my own life.. - colin Jul 29, 12:31 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        is that really what i'm saying? - colin Jul 29, 12:40 1

        My mom still makes fun of my dad for owning "How To Profit from the Coming Economic Collapse"... written in the early 70's, I think. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 29, 12:25
        
        I think people have curiousity the way they do to seea tsunami. People went to the beach to watch and were washed away. It's something rare and an - pmb Jul 29, 12:22 1
        
        oh of course not.. it *is* a terrible thing.. - colin Jul 29, 12:23
        
        You say this as though it's never happened before. The experience of countries that have defaulted on their debt has not been a good one -- nm - Roger More Jul 29, 12:19 5
        
        i feel like the US is a bit more of a pillar, than say Greece... not to offend any Greeks :) -- nm - colin Jul 29, 12:21 4
        
        hey, the Greeks invented pillars! -- nm - crash davis Jul 29, 12:23 1
        
        and look what happened to them? overrun by the roman manacle -- nm - colin Jul 29, 12:25
        
        That makes it worse, not better. -- nm - Roger More Jul 29, 12:23 1
        
        i know, that was my point.. just because it's happened, doesn't mean it has happened as big as this. -- nm - colin Jul 29, 12:26
        
        I just got my home loan squared away for 30 yrs, not credit card debt - tRuMaN Jul 29, 12:17 6
        
        Wouldn't it be awesome if our government were half as responsible??? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 29, 12:26 4
        
        you do realize that my mortgage is like 2 times my annual salary, so in fact, the Government is more fiscally responsbile. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 29, 12:32 1

        Glad you think the way out of this is to cause a cataclysm that'll just fubar everything and still not actually fix anything. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 29, 12:27
        
        same here.. minimal debt that could be paid out of savings at any time, no house or car payment.. I'm set. - colin Jul 29, 12:20
      - "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste." -- nm - Strongbad Jul 29, 12:13 1

truman - just in case the draft happens when you're working elsewhere, remember Jim volunteered to help - crash davis Jul 29, 12:05 27
- I know, but its Jim, he would probably broncos fanboy up my team or something. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 29, 12:15 26
  - someone has to bite the bullet and draft Tebow, might as well be you -- nm - crash davis Jul 29, 12:17 25
    - sorry, i am keeping two qbs. - tRuMaN Jul 29, 12:17 24
      - How bad is the rest of your team that you're keeping 2 QB's? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 29, 12:19 23
        
        Here. - tRuMaN Jul 29, 12:23 21
        
        So you'd keep Freeman who will 100% be available to you by the time you draft (to sit on your bench but 1 week)....and forgo Benson's 175-250 pts? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 29, 12:25 2
        
        benson got 169pts last year, and what team has signed benson? -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 29, 12:29 1
        
        You think he won't get a job? C'mon. Then jump to the WR's. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 29, 12:31
        
        you're going to need a backup QB ideally for only one game - I think you'd get more value by keeping Gonzalez, Colston, or Floyd -- nm - crash davis Jul 29, 12:25 4
        
        Floyd would be my keeper there -- nm - Beaker Jul 29, 12:27 3
        
        I suggested Gonzalez first because by the time I get around to drafting TEs, there are only scraps left, so I envy people with TEs -- nm - crash davis Jul 29, 12:29 2
        
        I got 3 available for trade :) -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 29, 12:29 1
        
        I already gutted the middle of my draft for marginal upgrades. I'm thinking I'll stick with a DEF that is supposed to be good (so they won't be) -- nm - crash davis Jul 29, 12:32
        
        suggest away for keeper changes, I will consider them. - tRuMaN Jul 29, 12:24 12
        
        The entire goal of keepers is to keep points you can use. - Will Hunting Jul 29, 12:28 9
        
        isnt there some doubt about peyton right now? -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 29, 12:31 7
        
        Even if there is (some)....no one's saying he won't be playing...and even still..why keep a 2nd QB who as a keeper won't get you anything - Will Hunting Jul 29, 12:33 5
        
        really, you think I will find a top 10 qb in the 3rd round? - tRuMaN Jul 29, 12:35 3
        
        Sure. There could be Eli; Flacco; Cassel; Bradford, Cutler....there's like 6 Tier 1 guys, About 12 Tier 2 guys and then the puu-puu platter - Will Hunting Jul 29, 12:38
        
        you can almost bet he will still be there. I don't even draft a backup as why bother when you only need him for 1 week -- nm - Beaker Jul 29, 12:37
        
        but why do you need two top 10 qbs? I'd still be looking for RBs or WRs then -- nm - crash davis Jul 29, 12:37
        
        this. -- nm - Beaker Jul 29, 12:34
        
        yeah, but isn't that like doubting Superman? -- nm - crash davis Jul 29, 12:33
        
        he was a nice guy! -- nm - crash davis Jul 29, 12:29
        
        I have some WR for trade if interested... -- nm - Beaker Jul 29, 12:25 1
        
        I saw that, just not sure what I would be willing to give up. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 29, 12:41
