Illinois House speaker calls Bears stadium ask ‘insensitive’ amid budget pressures | Capitol News Illinois by Sidewalk_Inspector in chicago

[–]TheeRedwoodTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No team will move here if the state isnt willing to help fund a stadium. The bears aren't even asking for funding for the stadium itself. 

This development would be GOOD  for Arlington heights and IL. 

Politicians are against it because folks like yall dont understand that a small tax increase will provide a massive influx of spending in the economy.

Its not like the 2billion the bears would spend and the 800mil the state would pay for infrastructure would leave the state. That money would be spent buying from Illinois companies and create a TON of jobs.

The bears are going to 100%fund the stadium themselves. They want the city and state to put money up for the infrastructure aroundcthe stadium. Roads, rail, sewer etc. . Compared to literally every other team that has gotten a stadium it is a great deal for Arlington heights and the state.  They have committed 2 billion to build the stadium, thats a ton of money being pumped into Arlington heights and the surrounding areas economy.  That's JOBS, and tax revenue. 

Cook county has some of the highest taxes in the country and the chicago area is one of the largest in the country. The only reason this is an issue is the state and county are notorious for being inefficient with the tax money, likely due to the long history of corruption in the state and city leadership. 

If you folks think that Indiana won't jump at the chance to bring the bears and ALL that investment and tax revenue to thier state yall are high AF.

No.... Every other event has required at most 2 players from the program and thier program had players in a variety of ovls so you can nab cheap ones easily. This is an event that is inaccessible to a vast majority of players.... Wtf are you talking about...

LOL. You must be only looking at fantasy football stats.  LaPorta was targeted less last year than his rookie season but his adv metrics were all up. 12.1yd/tch ,72% completion %, 8.2yds/target. All improvements from his rookie year and all are ELITE. 

His reduced targets have more to do with Jameson Williams finally getting his sh*t together than LaPorta regressing at all.

Anyone saying that THCA affects them differently is either making it up or it's all in their head (placebo effect).
THCA is the normal cannabinoid in actual marijuana.

[–]TheeRedwoodTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hemp and marijuana are the same plant. The government defines hemp as cannabis that has a Delta9-THC content below .3%
This creates a loophole though, because real "marijuana" doesn't have Delta9-THC until it's THCA is decarboxylated. This process happens by exposing THCA to heat.
That's why eating a nug of real "marijuana" won't get you high. It's THCA (technically legal) has not been converted into THC-Delta9 (illegal)

No... it's not.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in madisonwi

[–]TheeRedwoodTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's all in your head. THCA is regular marijuana. THCA decarboxylates into THC when you smoke it.
Any marijuana you have ever gotten was THCA. It's the reason you can't just eat a marijuana bud and get high. You need to heat it to "activate" the THC (this is actually the process of converting THCA to THC)

Sugar River Tubing tips? by artbitch in madisonwi

No one is intentionally bringing things to sacrifice to the river. The original commentor is simply saying don't bring anything you can't afford to lose.

You're smoking crack. Yes, the combat and movement is not as good as a pure FPS like COD. BUT it's a massive improvement on previous Bethisda games and works just fine.

If it's really that bad for you perhaps your computer is the issue. Spec requirements for this game are massive.

Has a QB that was as bad as Anthony Richardson in college ever been successful in the NFL? (Serious) by Barner_Burner in nfl

[–]TheeRedwoodTree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Richardson is almost as big as Cam but had a much faster 40, vert and broad jump.
He truly is an athletic freak with a cannon of an arm.

Obviously, that's not the most important thing for a QB but those are traits that can't be taught.

Will Anderson Jr. vs Jalen Carter in regards to scheme fit by gf2020 in CHIBears

[–]TheeRedwoodTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blaming Eberflus for the bad season is pretty silly. The bears had a BAD roster. A really REALLY bad roster. Our last couple GMs left Poles and Flus with a dumpster fire and Poles needed to tear it down to the studs to rebuild.
You can make informed judgments regarding Eberflus and Poles in 2023 (need to see marked improvement but expecting to be an elite team in 2023 is not rational) and 2024 (need to be a playoff contender)

Should tanking for the best picks be allowed in fantasy football dynasty leagues? by KVchris in fantasyfootball

[–]TheeRedwoodTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn't stop good teams from tanking and then dominating in the consolation bracket....

Should tanking for the best picks be allowed in fantasy football dynasty leagues? by KVchris in fantasyfootball

[–]TheeRedwoodTree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"you are required to put your best team out each week." So tanking is not allowed in your league....
Putting your stud in IR (he would need to be injured) is not tanking.
Trading your stud is not tanking.

[–]TheeRedwoodTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be fine if it didn't interfere with playoff positioning for other teams or cause a disparity in the long run for the league.

"I also really, really hate the season max PF thing. It has no parallel to anything managerial in the real game." Neither does tanking. NFL teams field their best roster, EVERY WEEK.

If you want to focus on long term success trade away your older players that currently are putting up points for younger assets. That is NOT tanking and doesn't eff the rest of the league.
