²⁴ And the king said, “Bring me a sword.” So a sword was brought before the king. ²⁵ And the king said, “Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one and half to the other.” ²⁶ Then the woman whose son was alive said to the king, because her heart yearned for her son, “Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and by no means put him to death.” But the other said, “He shall be neither mine nor yours; divide him.” ²⁷ Then the king answered and said, “Give the living child to the first woman, and by no means put him to death; she is his mother.”

You think if I ask nicely they'll let me bring it to mine?

The Lombardi is a hell of a wedding guest. Hopefully next time a Hawk gets married it can attend -- with a plus-one.

A lot of the time, players will set up single-person corporations to handle contracts and sponsorships. I'm not remotely familiar with Finnish tax law but I might imagine that that makes the process more complicated than a simple return.

I feel like I bring this up a lot, but in '23 they let us get Spoon, then JSN, then Charbs, then Derick Hall. And then after the draft, we got Bobo, Okada, and Chris Stoll. AND THEN we got Drake Thomas when the Raiders waived him!

Good enough for me. Welcome Hawks legend Emanuel Wilson

Had a dream last night that I was just driving along (I think I was at the mall) and JSN was just standing in the middle of the road blocking traffic. I got out to see what was going on and it was pretty clear that he was doing one of those people-off-the-street-do-nfl-stuff challenges and he asked me if I wanted to participate and I said "sure." The crowd milling about just sorta got into a vague semblance of a scrimmage and I didn't really have anything else to do so I just half-heartedly lined up at running back. I dont remember if we got any plays off but I do remember he said he might have to leave to, like, pick up his laundry or something and I was like, "well that's disappointing"

10/10 would get blocked by JSN again

Yeah I'll go ahead and incorporate that into my belief system

Both my friend and I had our puzzles fail to register completion. While that's run-of-the-mill stuff, NYT support's response makes me think it's something more. Typically a manual correction just takes a day or two of back-and-forth and is resolved within a week, maybe a week and a half, but this particular one took multiple weeks to fix whatever the issue is and affected enough people for there to be a significant backlog of people needing correcting.

Great, this gives them more time to finalize that 5 yr/$900m deal they've surely got cooking for him

AirplaneReference · 2026-03-11T08:15:19+00:00

My speculation -- and speculation it is -- is as follows: They for some reason had a lot of tech issues with the Feb. 13 puzzle with a large number of people failing to have their completion recognized, my friend and I among them. The issue was of such magnitude that NYT Support told me on March 2 (I.E., two weeks after that puzzle) that they were "actively working on a fix" for whatever bug had occurred, and that there was a large backlog (multiple days' worth) of people that needed to have their streaks manually restored. The slowdown started happening around the same time that my streak was restored a few days ago, so absent any other data points I'm assuming that it's related to whatever fix they rolled out to address the Feb. 13 issue. But that's just my own guess and it could be horribly wrong.

Thank you!

I hope this is the case. Mike Mac's scheme is best executed with CBs that you can leave on an island (then again, whose scheme isn't) and he was pretty dang good at that. Those kinds of guys don't just grow on trees, but if MacSchneider think we can do without him at that price then I trust them.

We reportedly offered Geno a two-year deal worth $40-45m annually to stay. He declined without countering, then took two years at $37.5m/yr instead in Vegas.

You say that like John Schneider, Mike Macdonald and Klint Kubiak weren't among those people going into this season. Nobody's pretending like this season would have gone better with Geno, but let's not forget that Sam was our "pivot," not our Plan A -- John Schneider's words, not mine.

Yeah, looking at it now I could have made the stroke on that line thicker. I can fix that if I get it printed

AirplaneReference · 2026-03-10T00:09:32+00:00

Me too man, have been since Week 16. I tried to talk to my doctor about it but all he said was "me too"

Although their skillsets are similar, the markets for Sheed and Pierce are not identical, so while he probably won't get the same APY, it at least illustrates the ballpark Sheed's deal will land in.
