      - There is just a huge disconnect here. They think shaking things up is good enough. They don't perceive the difference in the way things - crash davis Mar 6, 12:38 13
        
        The disconnect is he isn't black. - Jovian Mar 6, 12:47 3
        
        It's actually not quite that simple. It's also that he's not a woman and that he's not a democrat. - pmb Mar 6, 12:56 1

NFL: Rams tag DB Lamarcus Joyner, letting WR Sammy Watkins hit the street as an unrestricted FA -- nm - Strongbad Mar 6, 10:38 16
- They thought about tagging a guy who played 15 games and caught 39 passes? - Will Hunting Mar 6, 10:58 15
  - or, said another way, Rams gave up a 2nd round pick & a marginal starting DB for a 1-year rental WR. -- nm* - Strongbad Mar 6, 11:01 14
    - Thankfully, they were smart enough to not pay him the average of the top 5 players at his position - Will Hunting Mar 6, 11:04 13
      - Let's see who they pick up in FA or the Draft then, because Woods isn't a #1 and Kupp is nothing more than a good/great slot WR. -- nm* - Strongbad Mar 6, 11:08 11
        
        The worst thing you can do in a fixed cap world is put too much money to guys who aren't worthy - Will Hunting Mar 6, 11:39 9
        
        If Kupp turns into a solid #1 WR, it's a good decision. - Strongbad Mar 6, 11:42 4
        
        You are paying a guy who caught less than 40 yards per game, top 5 money. There's not a single logic thread that makes that work. - Will Hunting Mar 6, 11:53
        
        Why do you see Watkins as employable, much less a top 20-25 guy? - David Mar 6, 11:44 2
        
        WR's that I would take Sammy Watkins over - Strongbad Mar 6, 12:05 1
        
        Every player listed had 25% more yards per game than Watkins in 2017; several had 50% more ypg than him. -- nm* - Will Hunting Mar 6, 12:11
        
        PFF had Watkins as the #41 receiver. Kupp was #20...as a rookie. -- nm - David Mar 6, 11:41 3
        
        and IIRC PFF had ranked Devonta Freeman as the worst RB in the NFL his rookie season. - Strongbad Mar 6, 11:56 1
        
        1) No. Steven Jackson was the starter that year. 2) You don't have to care about how scouts grade game film, but it's weird that you don't. - David Mar 6, 12:11
        
        And if they're not that high on him ... - Will Hunting Mar 6, 11:43
        
        Kupp is better right now at this second than Watkins has ever been in his career. - David Mar 6, 11:33
      - Speaking of stupid, Cousins is going to be stupid rich pretty soon, probably in Denver. -- nm - Shaun Mar 6, 11:07

- first of all, this suit is BS regardless of OR's age based discrimination statutes - secondly, either there is a bad Walmart manager or he is lying - crash davis Mar 6, 10:40 5
  - maybe he's a crisis actor? - Epiphany, I voted! Mar 6, 10:45 4
    - Or simply, he is from OR. I don't know if you've ever conversed with someone from there, but they are all a little off. -- nm - crash davis Mar 6, 10:56 3

- I really want them to sell the Wu Tang record that he owns so we can all hear it. - Krusty Mar 6, 10:21 17
  - I thought the understanding now was that it wasn't really a Wu Tang album anyway and that Martin got scammed. -- nm - Reagen Mar 6, 11:01 13
    - It's definitely a Wu Tang record. They all recorded tracks for it and almost all of them are upset - Krusty Mar 6, 11:07 12
      - yeah Ghostface is all over my FB and twitter being pissed about it. -- nm - Diva Mar 6, 11:17 3

        In some ways we have very different social media experiences. -- nm - Reagen Mar 6, 11:19 1
        
        ha! -- nm - Diva Mar 6, 12:08
      - There's no dispute that an album exists, just that pharma-bro bought it. The rumor is he got conned and owns, at best, a fake. -- nm - TWuG is getting a Tesla! Mar 6, 11:11 7
        
        I would love it if he was sold a fake but I'm almost positive it's the real album. IIRC, he bought it just before he became infamous. - Krusty Mar 6, 11:16 6

        It was before from what I just read. It was auctioned in spring 2015 and he raised the drug price in September 2015. -- nm* - Krusty Mar 6, 11:45
        
        Ha ha, looking at timelines - it was sold at auction in May 2015, + sale was finalised in August, the same month that Turing Pharma acquired Daraprim. - Roger More Mar 6, 11:34 2
        
        👍🏻 So no one knew who he was when he bought it but a few months later the world hated him. -- nm - Krusty Mar 6, 11:47 1
