John has the right idea here.  The energy and spirit left at some point.  Predictably really as you go through changes in your life.

Cousins isn't worth 30 million a year, IMO. Denver and Jacksonville is where I'd want to go if I were him, but his price tag is going to be really high.

I think with the success of Philly literally using Alex Smith's personalized run-pass-option playbook (seriously, Smith helped create it and Peters took it to Philly) to thrash them and get to the SB, I think Gruden sees he can offer way more than Cousins could. They need a speedy WR like Christian Kirk to fill the Hill deep threat role he had in KC.

No, he's not worth that much but there are DESPERATE TEAMS out there that will pay that.  Jacksonvile is out on Cousins as they will keep Bortles as the starter next year. 

The rumor mill has already said that Denver is a frontrunner for Cousins.  Typical Redskins trade:  overpaying.  I was under the impression that KC had to dump Smith to get under the cap.  Well they got the Skins to fork over a good CB (Fuller) on a cheap rookie contract and managed to get a 3rd rounder out of it.

You can't seriously believe this.

I loved house of cards season 1-2 (felt it went a bit off after that) and love Spacey's acting work.

Agreed. Season 1 was great, Season 2 was great too, but I felt they rushed the situation, Underwood becoming Prez. Season 3 sorta dragged a bit for me, and while Robin Wright was great at her part, I felt her inclusion into her political position was a bit too forced. I liked her better as the charity head and Underwood as a Congressmen. I finally finished it but didn't bother with Season 4 or 5, a friend told me what happens (new President) and I laughed, can't imagine how the storyline went but I'm glad I didn't bother.

Yeah. I thought it was more effective and realistic having her be a powerful woman but working behind the scenes and in their sham charity to further his power - so they were a power couple. Like he was the face of it but they share the privilege and glory from it. But yeah - when she decides she wants to go into politics and then is both accepted at that by the public and able to out play him - yeah...lost credibility with me. To me season 2 was a natural end point really.

Hidden Text:

Yeah the first two seasons are the only good ones for me.  The entire season 3 plotline where Claire goes to Russia to advocate for the release of the journalist/humanitarian(I forget what he was exactly) was a giant snooze fest.  Season 4 was better  MAJOR SPOILER UPCOMING since
Frank Underwood got shot.  But then Joel Klimman is so boring as  Will, the Republican candidate for President.  I never finished S5, only got into a few episodes into it before I gave up

That dude's career is fucking over. Anyone see the press conference of that guy's mom? Holy shit... He has the Ridley Scott film coming out All The Money In The World. They have to reshoot and use another another actor. I can't see them releasing it.

Isn't he in makeup for most of the film?  The film got pulled from some film festival yesterday.

This isn't really news to me.  I assumed most people knew he was gay.  And I read about some of the stuff in sort of vague terms on various rumor sites over the years.

Republicans got DESTROYED in Virginia tonight.  Northam won by 8pts.  And Democrats won 14(!!) seats in the state house and probably take control of the legislature there. There are still some undeclared winners left out there.

They're getting murdered in the 2018 midterms if the trend keeps up and it more or less ends up being a referendum on  Trump.

What can be expected of Rishard Matthews this year? Will he still be the go to guy for Mariota? I have him in a few leagues and I'm reading some ominous things. How about Henry? Depend on Murray's health?

Matthews is probably the #2 WR behind the rookie Corey Davis.  He'll probably be either 3rd or 4th in targets on the team (Delanie Walker and Davis should get more targets, not sure about Decker's targets).

Henry will get probably 40% of the carries.  Henry's a really subpar pass blocker as a rb and that'll keep him off the field.  I still expect Murray to get the majority of the carries this year.

I'll be busy getting ready to go to opening night in Foxboro on Thursday. Go Pats!

Congrats have fun at the game.  They should beat KC since KC lost their top RB and NE's db/lb should be able to cover Travis Kelce.  I haven't watched much preseason at all, but how have NE S/T looked?  KC could have an advantage there.  KC defense is tough though and could be a low scoring game.
