Sorry, I’m still a bit shocked that we continue to let him “DRive” the country. If he’s driving, at this point in his career, we WILL get lost. Dementia doesn’t get better, it’s a progressive disease. Hoping this will pass is not going to happen. There’s NO covering up what I saw with my own two eyes. In fact I feel terribly for him, and shame on those closest to him seeking to keep this “hidden” rather than seek this man some HELP. If Anyone did him a favor, it was the investigator, he was as polite…too polite if you ask me, in delicately telling the man to sit down. But then, instead of staying silent, he just HAD to rebutt….and made a butt of himself.
again sorry. Just thinking about bigger things than football today. In any case, keep up the good posting.
and here I will give you another life lesson that many people never learn their entire lives.the president is simply a figure head. They are the mouth peace for the political party in power but likely call little shots without blessing of their party.this current president is senile, the previous would post on twitter like we post on this message board, W is the C student you wouldn’t mind grabbing beers with but what….dont let him run the group project, Clinton was definitely a good wing man but you’d be arguing dibs over the same recent college grad,and I wasn’t around but I’m pretty sure Ronald Reagan who won 49 of 50 states in his election was senile in his second term.so yes continue to vote and with the candidate who matches your values but don’t think they will have a major impact on your life. You control your outcome and work hard and you’ll become successful enough that it won’t matter what knucklehead figure head is in office
There's always plenty of stuff going on in the world bigger than sports. Sports is just entertainment. Go post that important stuff somewhere that's not here. Keep politics off this board.
With all due respect, this board has a long history of being JUST that kind of place. You “might” be able to limit that conversation from this thread…but if history serves, it ain’t ever going to be quarantined from THIS board.
The RED board was named for the passion & Wild West mentality - it wasn’t because it’s one of our team colors - it has a history of making you see RED!
Yes it was, and I posted my fair share of my opinions. They cleaned it up. You've been away apparently so you probably missed it. Personally, I'd like to see it stay that way. Politics is in our face every hour of every day. So how about having one place where we can put that aside for two seconds? That would be great.There's always plenty of stuff going on in the world bigger than sports. Sports is just entertainment. Go post that important stuff somewhere that's not here.

I summarize it so
At this point PARTISANSHIP TRUMPS*>>>>StatemanshIp, and even worse...Partisanship OUTWEIGHS CITIZANSHIP!!!!
Thats what I am seeing. At this rate, if they (the people in charge behind the seem) refuse to Mea Culpa- "we working on it- stay tuned" then IT MUST BE BURNT to the ground

It is inconvenient, it can be inflammatory, but there’s also a lot less traffic. Many who enjoyed this board didn’t actually post - but they lurked and chimed in when a topic became interesting.
the Hall of Fane Board is where the politics stopped - it was intended for Buccaneer/football oriented conversations.
Maybe people stopped needing that kind of traffic? Always wondered that myself - but it did allow venting, and supporting your ideas kept you sharp, and the reality of lurkers resulted in many often liking and participating, when the mood struck. Sometimes people learned something.
i think I stopped posting around the time a new editor/mod started the deletion of posts.
As I said, I still check in from time to time.
Is it still interesting?
I’ll have to let you know.

I stopped using the Hall of Fame when it stopped being a payed privilege, I mean, during the Dungy years I was young, I remember using money from my first job to pay for Pewter Report Magazines and Fab 5's, the Hall of fame board was where the football discussions occurred and the red board was like The Cove, but even now that is gone, we have no refuge left to voice "polarizing/potentially polarizing" ideas, thoughts and conjecture. I wonder if PR would be better served having some form of subscription access to a board, like a dollar a month or something, just to weed out/curb some "drop in" trolling.
I think Scott Reynolds tried a few iterations, but while it did attract poster’s with a specific post count, and was pay/to/play, I don’t think it drove enough revenue…It is inconvenient, it can be inflammatory, but there’s also a lot less traffic.

I generally follow guidelines, although I know etiquette, I don’t always make a beeline for the “rules” thread.
i respect it, understand that it’s not our site, we just post here.

Enough is enough. BTT. Is Baker Mayfield worth $40m/year?
Enough is enough. BTT. Is Baker Mayfield worth $40m/year?
in this hypothetical, I’d let him test the market and see what other vets become available.
the fact that he knows Tampa is the best for him, I’d be surprised if they couldn’t work something out in the 30M range in which I say he’s worth that
Enough is enough. BTT. Is Baker Mayfield worth $40m/year?
he is if it still allows them to accomplish everything else they want to do for 2024 and is not for too long, gives them outs.
I think it will be less but point is that contracts don’t exist in a vacuum and are not just about the amount
Enough is enough. BTT. Is Baker Mayfield worth $40m/year?
well, it depends. If you believe the contract gurus, and Geno’s $25 million/year AAV is now really $34 million/year today, then Baker’s contract should be somewhere north of $35 million at a minimum. And when you consider that Daniel Jones got $40 million/year AAV last year, and we all know that Baker is a better QB than jones, well, you can do the logic from there.
personally, I don’t think most QBs are worth more than $35 million, except for a handful of the obviously elite QBs, but I don’t make the rules.
think it’s all moot anyway; seems like the deal is basically done, and baker probably is taking significantly less than what he’s actually worth to stay in TB.
You're not sure if Ballerz is worth the money figures being thrown about in the media. You're curious about the fair market value for a quarterback, such as the mean or 16th highest salary. If it's around $40 million, then paying Ballerz the same amount as the 16th highest-paid QB would be fair.
