if you are $1 in the black, total, you own more than the economic bottom 50% o' the US population combined. half the adult US population is carrying more debt than assets. some o' this is understandable as home ownership, while decreasing, is still the most common way folks build capital. take out a mortgage on a house you and your wife cannot really afford, and then work for decades, likely buying increasing value homes as you age, in hopes that you will eventually be able to sell your finally unencumbered biggest asset after having reaped benefits o' all that accumulated equity. cross-fingers there ain't another 2008ish housing bubble burst at wrong time in your life. *shakes head sadly* regardless, the income disparity problem and debt issues is not sustainable. the ending is already known. how many future 60 year old americans is gonna have a "what have i done moment?" is a matter o' when, and not if. oh, and to make matters worse, being a simple "millionaire" ain't gonna be anywhere near enough by the time most o' the millenials retire. shooting for a goal far too low in spite o' fact it seems out of reach. madness indeed. HA! Good Fun!

for a goodly number o' years we indulged in commercial and residential real estate ventures. there were a common hurdle we faced with sellers, a singularly common hurdle. price at which a person would wish to sell property were as much a matter o' what the seller needed as it were dependent on what the property were worth. property is worth $5 million, but seller needs $5.5 million. solution? well, obviously the seller should invest a couple hundred thousand in improvements and advertising and then wait for the right seller in order to get price needed, yes? after making additional investments o' time and money, the seller would become even more wedded to needed sell price. such thinking is obvious idiotic, yes? *shrug* perhaps feargus needed deadfire to make X dollars? easiest way to cut costs o' pretty much any business is to fire folks. especial when the people working for you is well known and/or friends, cost cutting will be a painful endeavour and non-heartless bosses will go to extreme and sometimes stoopid lengths to avoid the obvious firings. "if deadfire makes X dollars, then i don't need to fire bob and jane and steve and..." am not making excuses for feargus. lord knows we wouldn't make excuses for feargus. am also having no idea what were feargus' actual thinkings regarding seeming curious development choices for deadfire. nevertheless, we has been in the situation where we needed X dollars to keep from firing bob and jane and steve. it is not an enviable position and am gonna admit we have gambled stoopid in the hope success would mean we wouldn't need make obvious needed labor cuts. turnover at even successful indie game developers is notorious common. being the boss at an indie game developer who genuine tries to keep good people employed for longer than the duration o' a single game development must needs be challenging. am not saying feargus pushed for vo, and ship-to-ship combat, and whatever other bad moves you wanna catalog 'cause he needed deadfire to be successful. we don't know. is an example o' a mere possibility. nevertheless, when otherwise intelligent people make obvious blunders, there is often a reason for such mistakes. perhaps the reasoning were foolish, but rare is obvious blunders as simple as they first appear. HA! Good Fun!

given expectations, deadfire sold poorly. expectations were all wrong. the fig campaign were successful; brought in loads o' money. while the pledges were considerably fewer in number, dollar total were higher for deadfire than poe. whatever sales expectations obsidian had for deadfire, the fig campaign shoulda' clarified the situation. poe disappointed many purchasers. no surprise. particular given the manner in which obsidian were advertising poe, many purchasers wanted poe to be bg3 ultra, combining all the stuff people liked bestest from the ie games. try and pinpoint what were the essential aspects o' bg2 and ie game success were elusive. nostalgia is emotional far more than rational, so trying to identify and balance essential features for everybody were a doomed proposition from the start. followers o' feedback for poe development no doubt observed how frequent the case people were not 'membering the ie games reality, but their recollections were illuminated and altered by the warm and highly personal nostalgia glow. even so, am suspecting obsidian did a pretty good job o' satisfying numerous poe purchasers. again, the robust fig pledges for deadfire revealed an enthusiastic core following, yes? obsidian failed to realize what they had and as such their expectations for deadfire sales were all wrong. invest more money to make deadfire were misguided. obsidian had built up considerable brand loyalty with a single game, but while fans o' poe were arguably more enthusiastic for deadfire than they were for poe, there were clear signs there would be fewer such fans. in spite o' such signs, obsidian indulged in extravagances such as full vo? ... given the fanbase created by poe, am suspecting (am no expert) obsidian coulda' made financial successful poe games in perpetuity just so long expectations and development costs were reasonable. in fact, am suspecting deadfire "failure" did not hurt poe brand loyalty. no doubt obsidian could still make successful poe games in the future 'cause the people who liked poe by and large liked deadfire and would probable buy a poe3. however, expectations need be reasonable. try and sell microsoft on the idea o' poe3 challenging bg3 sales would be fanciful. HA! Good Fun!

so we aren't talking something which would be .5 miles or more away from gd's home like the big turbines. would need be much closer? fumes. property value loss. cancer. east coast states have much different riparian rights laws than does the much drier west, so am honest uncertain what is gd's rights, but general rule is if you live on land with creek, river, stream, etc., you cannot reduce or disrupt downstream flow. therefore, any sorta dam needed to make a waterwheel or turbine functional is gonna be presumptive verboten. is why gd once mentioned a water turbine as his post apocalypse solution to energy independence. HA! Good Fun!
-
arguable biggest concern is the 75% property value drop which follow gd erecting a wind turbine on (or near) his homestead. HA! Good Fun!
-
and they only last ten years and then you need buy a new one from germany or china. don't forget about the "fumes." HA! Good Fun!

unfortunately the sound from wind turbines causes cancer. HA! Good Fun!

am confused. wasn't the espoused rationale for killing soleimani, while he were on iraq soil with knowledge and approval o' iraq govt., "deterring future Iranian attacks"? am not an expert on this stuff, but this don't feel much like future iranian attacks being deterred. only thing am certain 'bout is that no matter how bad things get, trump will declare it a victory. example: give iranians and isil a gift and pull troops out of iraq? well, that is just trump fulfilling promise to get out of the middle-east, right? no matter what happens, somehow it will all be according to the plans o' the stable genius o' trump... and +30% o' voters here in the US will believe such piffle unflinching and unquestioning. if the situation escalates, this isn't the kinda thing right-wing media may reimagine into a positive... but it will.

$13.5 million actually, and $6.75 in 2021, which is hardly team crippling and is far less baggage than the pats would need handle if brady gets his way and new england gives him a contract for at least the next three years at a rate he feels is commensurate with his talent. if brady doesn't provide a significant hometeam discount, then wash him off today to save tomorrow. 3rd best qb by year end in the afc east. should be end o' the discussion. HA! Good Fun!

gd could believe brady is deserving o' a starting position somewhere in the nfl while nevertheless recognizing how legacy will be diminished if brady goes out and underperforms. correction: if brady underperforms again. will brady 2020 be better than david blough and the aforementioned jameis winston? probable. would be worth it if brady is challenging trubisky for qbr numbers? brady is gonna want big money, 'cause is 'bout respect (*groan*) and if the pats don't pay him, we expect he goes elsewhere and maybe overperforms for a season before complete burning out in the ugly sorta way gd mentions. tom has already said the pats ain't getting a hometown discount. if brady signs with a playoff talented team, we wouldn't be surprised if his competitive nature ekes out another great season. can almost foresee jerry jones cutting bait with dak and signing brady. *chuckle* as loony as it sounds, and as financial improbable as it would be, we could imagine such being beneficial to both brady and the cowboys, but am not recognizing how such a marriage could last beyond maybe one miracle season. only other realistic option for success we see is the chargers. is enough talent for the chargers to win immediate if they have a qb such as brady or brees (irony) but does anybody see brees leaving the saints? so... colts might be a complete under-the-radar option. colts were looking like potential playoff contenders before luck retired. however, there isn't anybody to throw to in indy. regardless, we believe brady is good enough to start many places next year, and likely losing ugly. brady needs decide if playing in 2020 is worth the pain he is gonna need endure, pain which he may not fully comprehend until 20 years from today. brady is already guaranteed hof and in best evar arguments now and for many decades to come, but brady didn't look like best in nfl, conference or even best in division this last year. for the second half o' 2019, brady were arguable the third best qb in the afc east. gd observed a bunch o' best evar athletes who no doubt knew with absolute certainty that they could dominate for another season or two. the unshakable self confidence which made those guys great also prevents too many of 'em from recognizing when they should hang up their skates, sneakers, cleats or helmet. maybe a non-pitcher in baseball is an exception? is all kinda dh guys who prolong a career a bit. regardless, unlike gd, we hope brady arm-bars kraft into a big contract. am not a pats fan, so while we would feel sympathy for brady getting knocked around for a couple more seasons in spite of increasing futility, we would take admitted petty glee in seeing the pats, and their fans, needing endure a couple o' quick-start and slow-death seasons we predict as likely if brady remains as the quarterback of new england. so, bring back brady in 2020. heck, bring back brady through 2024. at the moment, this guy is the top rated prep qb for 2021, so perhaps the pats are thinking ahead. full disclosure: am not a fan o' brock in spite o' the hoopla. he is an arm thrower (needs to learn to use lower body) with odd mechanics and little economy o' release. HA! Good Fun!

am not an expert either, but am pretty sure even flying "trains" are better for the environment than is driving cross country in the rv. am knowing high speed rail is an energy hog usual dependent on nuke power in most locations, but economics o' mass transit nevertheless makes 'em more environmental conscientious than personal passenger powered by internal combustion. we do feel sympathy for the serious woke 2020 environmental conscious peoples as they need give up so much to avoid being hypocrites. meanwhile Gromnir, 'cause am having no children, could set flame to a half-dozen boxes o' hundred-count plastic straws is a coal-fire oven every day and know our carbon footprint will be smaller than almost anybody who produced offspring. HA! Good Fun!

we wouldn't be concerned 'bout a long-term deal. for example, give rivers a 4-year deal doesn't mean rivers is guaranteed on the roster for four years. pretty much any free agent qb can be cut which will limit cap hit. yeah, the contracts can be serious front-loaded and have all kinda promises on 'em, but one o' the things players is understandably unhappy 'bout is how there aren't long-term contracts to which the owners is bound. give a fa a multi-year contract doesn't necessitate more than a one-year hit. fromm is a second-round guy (latest actual has him slipping to possible third) but he hasn't declared for the draft. from our understanding, jordan love received a better projection from the nfl than did fromm, so is current five guys rated higher than fromm. worse is fact fromm's completion % were kinda suboptimal this year and nfl worthy accuracy concerns became a frequent question regarding the georgia qb-- is a truism that qbs do not become more accurate once they get to the nfl. today might be the day he actual announces stay-or-go, so gd should stay tuned. 'course am not seeing fromm (or similar) as a bigger risk than winston. get fromm with a relative cheap rookie contract and the tb organization buys themselves a free year as fans will accept a rough rookie season. tb needs a body at qb and there is potential upside with any o' the rookies available in the first few rounds. regardless, am anticipating a rough year for the bucs offense... unless they get the aforementioned rivers, at which point the season is a crapshoot. HA! Good Fun!

use 2018 as a benchmark for qb drafts is fair how? 2018 were being compared to 1983 by some overzealous prognosticators. four qb going top ten is not normal. have potential six going first round is not normal. please. and of course qbs are picked earlier than their talent alone would warrant. there is a reason quenton nelson were not an overall 1-2 pick in spite of being a consensus 1-2 talent in the draft. guard is considered a less important position than just 'bout everything other than punter and pk. converse, qb is considered more important. fact qbs tend to be picked earlier than they deserve to be is a constant, or at least a constant since the passing game became so important in the nfl. comparing murray and tagovailoa height is an apples and oranges situation. murray is an athletic and mobile qb. tua is a pure pocket passer. pretend as if murray's athleticism did not factor into the decision o' gms to overlook the height issue is myopic. act as if murray's height makes tua's irrelevant is hardly an honest equivalency. also, four months has nothing to do with our observations. hindsight is always perfect. we already opined how we personal believe tagovailoa is a top ten talent, so if he goes top ten am hardly gonna be surprised. however, today is january 7th, and at this time last year haskins were considered to be the top qb prospect available and a sure-fire top-ten pick... and not in a particular thin qb class neither. look at the top ten lists from experts in january and then compare to the actual draft; makes the experts look comic fallible. is amazing how fluid such lists are pre-combine and pre senior bowl and pre pro-days. as o' january 7, tagovailoa has too many question marks to be a guaranteed top ten guy. he is short (likely shorter than his measured height). he is product o' alabama. he is recovering from a gruesome injury and has suffered multiple serious concussions. maybe you are certain tua goes top seven, but such certainty is 'cause you are ignoring questions. yeah, perhaps such questions get answers which nfl gms find satisfying, but at the moment tagovailoa's projected pick spot is one o' the bigger uncertainties o' the first round, more so than were uncertainty surrounding haskins at same time last year. well, if winston can become a regular starter instead o' needing split time with his backup like in 2017 and 2018, then perhaps he can shorten the timeline o' ignominy. am personal thinking it will be tough to recapture the magic of a 30 int season, but am hopeful that with a little effort, consistent +20 int seasons is possible. please note thin-veiled sarcasm. am admitting our pre-draft concerns for winston were off-the-field issues. yeah, winston has hardly been a model citizen since he entered the nfl, but for all the winston related shenanigans, he has missed few games because o' his immaturity. converse, if you had told us winston would become a history challenging int machine in his 5th season and the bucs would nevertheless be ambivalent 'bout signing him to a 6th year, we would assume you were making a joke at our expense. a game ending pick six to reach 30/30? really? fa alternatives for 2020 include drew brees, tom brady, phillip rivers and teddy bridgewater, but does it make sense for tampa to pay big money to be a bit better for one or two years? can't believe we would recommend keeping mr. 30/30, but am just not seeing enough upside to looking for a replacement via fa. perhaps tb acquires phillip rivers and he manages a brilliant swan song season or two. maybe even reach first round of the playoffs. maybe. just prolonging the rebuild. so as crazy as it seems, stick with winston for one more year might be the smart move... unless tagovailoa drops to the bucs, which is indeed possible. as much as we like tua as a qb, am believing he has even more value as a high character guy, and am believing having such a player as a team leader would be a nice change for tampa bay. HA! Good Fun!
-
that were never the question. we mentioned the possibility tagovailoa could drop to 15 and the bucs. at this time last year the qb group were not considered particular thin which is why three guys were projected top ten. even after the combine there were prognostications o' three guys going top ten with murray and haskins pretty much guaranteed to be top ten. yeah, Gromnir and a few other folks were wary o' the qbs other than murray, but such were not the consensus from the experts as late as february/march 2019. murray sure as heck hasn't dispelled concerns 'bout height neither. pff grade for murray has him as 32 best prospect from last year's draft class and he is the kinda athletic talent tagovailoa certainly is not. anybody expecting tagovailoa to rush for +500 yds next year is fugnuts. btw, #32 makes murray the second best rated rookie qb from last year, behind gardner minshew. particular as we do not true know the extent o' tagovailoa's injury, and recognizing how he is a short 6'1" pocket passer who played at alabama with the best talent in the country on his team, we can see folks dropping him a few spots such that the bucs could get him. tagovailoa is a high character kid, which is almost the exception rather than the rule from an alabama player. he had a high completion percentage and he played big in big games. is considerable positives for the young man from hawaii. unfortunate, he is short and had a terrible hip injury. in addition, he has been serious concussed multiple times. am not seeing any way tagovailoa drops out of the 1st round unless it turns out his hip injury is worse than described, but we would similar less than shocked if tua were available when the bucs pick. HA! Good Fun! for fun retrospective https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-draft-2019-dwayne-haskins-ohio-state-qb-rankings-order/4u8nuwbwszfh1p1dnto96n9e1 https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Draft-Scouting-Reports/Scouting-Report-Dwayne-Haskins.asp is easy to forget, but it wasn't until february o' 2019 even a few folks were suggesting haskins could be overrated.
-
last year at this time more than a few folks woulda' been surprised if you told 'em haskins would drop to 15 and the redskins. haskins, in retrospect, were drafted far too early. 6 rounds too early? tua had a serious injury and is listed as 6'1". sure, at least one doc has given positive reports for tua, but is best to wait for more thorough feedback on his injury. the height thing will also get more play as we get closer to the draft. the combine has everybody fixated on measurables for a few weeks and "maybe 6'1"" is gonna be an issue. as minor as it appears, if tua measures closer to 6' than 6'1" at combine, then there is gonna be a few additional teams concerned, 'cause there has been very few drew brees kinda guys in the nfl. oh, and let's keep in mind that tua played at alabama. name the last decent qb from alabama to play in the nfl. more important, name last guy from alabama who would have deserved a first round pick as a qb? kenny stabler? heck, stabler were drafted round 2. for the past decade, alabama has had so much talent at every position it is difficult to imagine a qb not being successful in their program. is sometimes more difficult to evaluate the guys such as tagovailoa and haskins precise 'cause they is perennial surrounded by first round ol, rbs, wr and tight ends. am certain we mentioned last year how the wrs at ohio state were serious inflating haskins completion percentage. am not disagreeing tua looks like a top ten guy, but if you have 5 potential first round guys, then is best to be patient and expect some crazy from a few teams. again, think back to this time last year. with all the qb starved teams, were smart money which thought three qbs would go in the top ten picks. didn't happen. at this time last year, how many folks woulda' bet jones would be drafted before haskins? is way too early to make predictions with much certainty... save for burrow and young. those two guys is going 1-2, if not necessarily in that order. HA! Good Fun!
-
is two-to-three guys who are being lauded as top-ten qb picks. burrow is first or second pick overall and tagovailoa... top tenish. herbert and eason could also be 1st round guys depending on the arcane calculus o' draft rankings. with potential five guys being draftable in the first round, weird things happen. tagovailoa slipping outside o' ten or even top fifteen is possible especial as individual evaluators from teams will actual prefer eason or herbert for their teams. on the positive side, we can foresee an even more epic implosion from winston next year. tampa were actual punching above its weight most o' 2019 and am predicting regression next year if jameis remains qb. every tampa loss in 2020 puts 'em one step closer to drafting trevor lawrence. keep jameis for another year thus provides the proverbial silver-lining. HA! Good Fun!

if your rv is emotional, then you need to get rid of it yesterday. good move. is few things more aggravating than an emotional rv. balk at mountain travel. pouts when it gets hot or wet or cold. moody if doesn't have new tires and belts. and what does greta have to say 'bout all o' hurl's internal combustion aided travel? can't tell from the picture, but she asks "why is hurlshot not using trains for his cross country family trips?" greta then suggested a solar-powered and self-propelled yurt as replacement transportation. emotional rv and and a grumpy greta? not worth the headache. HA! Good Fun!

for us this is kinda a meh moment. had to keep reminding self castro were still technical in the race. felt a little disappointment when booker dropped out o' the race. buttigeg is kinda a watered-down and less experienced version o' booker but with the advantage o' not being a washington guy, which is increasing important these days. we preferred booker to biden or buttigeg. admitted, it were tough to figure out exact where booker stood on a few issues and he failed to have a signature policy driver such as yang's $1k handout. *insert eye-roll* am personal not a fan o' clinton era fiscal policy, and booker were kinda a more honest and less smarmy bill clinton, but am thinking he coulda' actual brought back a bit o' needed bipartisanship to washington on a number o' issues if he had been willing to stand up for... something. castro started poor in the debates and initial polls and never improved much. again, need remind self he were still in this. HA! Good Fun!

agree. we slight disagree with gd, but only slight. yeah, 20 year body o' work should complete negate any consideration o' relative value o' degree. however, for folks straight out o' uni, and particular for stuff such as engineering, where you get degree matters... a smidge. cal polys will be known to both hurl and gd and we mention 'cause they do a fantastic job o' not only teaching the maths to their engineering students, but is considerable practical lessons being taught at such schools. am honest not certain how some o' these online schools is providing stem degrees 'cause 'bout 1/3 our class time were lab stuff and we were physics for chrissakes. is our recollection the engineers school students spent even more time in labs. yeah, often the most recognizable schools do a terrible job preparing a student for anything other than grad school. however, particular for a few areas o' study in which practical skills is o' great significance, is gonna be a few universities which produce not necessarily better candidates, but at least better prepared candidates. engineering, architecture, etc. college/university providing degree does matter a bit in some limited instances, but for the most part, am agreeing with hurl 'bout long-term goals. also, 'cause it shouldn't need be stated, but the information learned at uni should, for many degrees, be the least important stuff learned during years o' study. where you learn the math is indeed relevant. is process which is most important. particular with advent o' stuff such as the internet, info is cheap and easy. takes nothing to find and repeat facts and parrot the opinions o' others. for example, can perfect learn rule o' law from every case ever and still fail every law school class. memorize rules is the easiest part. teach a student how to develop arguments and analyze questions happens too infrequent in high school. happens only a bit more often in university nowadays. am gonna grudgingly admit such process learning is more likely to happen in certain environments albeit rare related specific to school reputation. heck, the best teacher we ever had, at any level, were a community college history professor. nowhere school in a subject unrelated to our major and it were the class in which we learned most. am thinking we teach kids high school age kids complete wrong. yeah, math has a natural kinda progression, but teach literature and history as is typical (not always) done in US is just flawed. is too much concern with making sure students know more rather than making sure kids know how to learn and how to teach themselves. failure to teach kids important analytical skills in high school means they is unprepared for uni or do not proper take advantage o' the possibilities o' a uni education. HA! Good Fun! ps after having checked recent rankings, we change our mind. https://news.berkeley.edu/2019/10/24/usnewsglobalrankings2019/ http://www.shanghairanking.com/ARWU2019.html university is all-important. those who graduate from top universities should be catered to and worshipped by the less fortunate masses. you may kiss our class ring, if we so deign it.

well, in all fairness, bernie is proposing a 45% tax on estates valued 'tween $3.5 and $10 mil. am expecting if bernie is not in such a range, he is gonna be close... and getting closer every day as book royalties continue to build and investments increase. 'course all the wealth taxes from democrats is nutty from a practical standpoint, and highly inefficient. is good reasons why US has adopted a capital gains scheme for taxing the wealthy. we sound like a broken record on this issue, so will refrain from repeating. thats said, while am not a socialist by any stretch, we does advocate a significant increase in capital gains targeted at wealthy (exclude primary residence n' similar to avoid hurting middle-class) in spite o' fact such would affect us personal. as an aside, even after donating ~50% to charity, we are worth more than bernie. 'course am only 50 and retired so our money needs take us a bit further than does bernie's. even so, don't much feel like scrooge mcduck with piles o' treasure. keep the house at 62 F during winter to save on heat bill and still take navy showers. we don't clip coupons, but am frugal. extreme conservative and rough 4% rule has us living with income o' $120k per year, and a portion o' such going to charitable (but not necessarily tax exempt) causes. am seeing if we can pull off functional $80k per year. as such, we could not retire in hurl's neck o' the woods unless he allows us to pitch a tent in his yard. living in shady's neighborhood might also require comical degree o' belt tightening. 'bout half o' our wealth is in income generating real estate, but current is not so much generating income as it is building equity and is thus excluded from the 4% estimates. millions sounds like a whole bunch until you gotta actual consider realities o' retirement. am genuine feeling a bit o' sympathy for millenials. to get back to bernie, he mentioned in a recent debate that something along the lines that three Americans have more wealth than the economic bottom 50% o' people in this country. the thing is, Gromnir has more wealth than the bottom 50% combined, 'cause the bottom 50%, as a whole, has more debt than wealth. so yeah, bernie has a point regardless o' perceptions o' hypocrisy. income disparity is becoming untenable and arguable dangerous. there will be a breaking point... as is the case with US debt. HA! Good Fun!

or, faster than light travel is genuine prohibited by physics as we understand and the galaxy is a whole lot bigger than most o' us is capable o' comprehending. forget the universe... is no earth transmission ever gonna reach another galaxy in your lifetime, or even your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great kid's lifetime. if there were ten people on earth, total, would not be a shock if they never bumped into each other, yes? assume the ten is limited to travel on foot per day and no radio. wouldn't shock if the ten persons never saw signs o' other human life, yes? galaxy is a whole lot bigger than earth relative to entire galaxy in our drake equation example. ten solar systems in the galaxy? we, as a civilization, has been sending out radio messages for a relative short period o' time, and the likelihood o' those transmissions having reached another inhabited spacefaring civilization in our galaxy is kinda remote even if we is optimistic using the drake equation. have even a million space faring civilizations in the galaxy that cannot practical travel much beyond their own solar system? we act surprised we ain't never heard from one? surprise is 'cause we do not comprehend just how vast the galaxy is. tv and movie ftl travel messes up pov when it comes to plausibility o' there being many space faring civilizations we never manage to hear from... evar.

population o' nyc and surrounding boroughs, plus newark, compared to green bay and sheboygan is what again? however, will agree on the inherent funness o' sheboygan. walla walla and cucamonga also deserve consideration. HA! Good Fun!
-
sheboygan is only a bit over an hour drive from green bay, but is a minor quibble. am knowing you ain't complete serious, but the thing is, if it weren't for jerry jones, the cowboys would be a dream coaching opportunity. we observed at the start o' the season the impressive talent dallas had accumulated on both sides o' the ball such that dak were maybe the 10th best player on the roster. maybe. is a bit like when harbaugh took over the 49ers. at the time, sf were an extreme talented but underperforming team. most coaches are stuck with bare cupboards when they take over a team. talented teams ordinarily win more than they lose and coaches o' such teams is applauded and given contract extensions. who wouldn't wanna be the guy who has a "rebuilding" job with one o the more talented squads in the league? is disappointing, but am suspecting the cowboys turnaround will be quick unless new coach is a complete hack... and assuming jerry jones doesn't screw everything to sheboygan. on paper this looks like one o' the easiest nfl reclamation efforts in recent memory, with jerry jones being the wild card. HA! Good Fun!

real problem is jones ain't gonna fire himself. HA! Good Fun!
