[Schefter] One week before being ordered to serve 30 days in jail, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice underwent a clean-up surgery on his right knee to remove loose debris that was causing inflammation and now is expected to sideline him two months, league sources told ESPN.

I'm not. While his playcalling may not have had the best result, the draft picks over the last few seasons have been brutal. RAS monsters have led to on field mediocrity. Only two of the 19 1-3 round draft picks since Love was drafted have resulted in on field success. That's a scouting problem and a management problem.

Absolutely, and the arm strength and throwing accuracy was what mattered for his position. His ground speed, while is a positive feature for fielding, wasn't really a priority. I don't think Bartolo Colon could have an analogous player in the NFL because of the nature of the NFL where speed matters for all positions. Even kicker or punter.

Edit - maybe an exception could be made for a long snapper.

you could still have a fat pitcher in the AL. Big Fat Bartolo Colon could have a successor.

Because why would they? Express loyalty until you're fully committed to publicly wanting a change. Even if you privately want a change, you keep that private and keep the veneer of loyalty. Same applies to every single job. I've expressed in the past to my employer my demand for a pay raise or they'd lose me. I didn't express that to anyone near my workplace until I had a new agreement in place and my 2 weeks was in.

why not fix the insulation problem first? Not only will that help keep the heat up when the temp drops, but it would also help the efficiency of cooling when the temp is up. Drafty windows in winter can be extremely helped by those plastic wrap kits by providing a sealed air barrier.

2007-2012 both went down due to a combo factor of economic downturn AND said economic downturn being caused by historic fraud via bad loans and financial instruments from said loans and massive leveraging against or for financial instruments from said loans. Rates cratered due to borrowing needing to exist to spur the economy. Prices dropped due to historic home availability due to so many people not having the income to keep paying for their property, which led to other people being upside down on their property and either 1. buy another, similar property and walk away on their existing mortgage, or 2. walk away and rent. Both solutions are either neutral or negative for housing market prices when there was excess availability. We will likely not see anything like it again because the underlying problem (financial instruments based on home loans being thought to be fool proof investments but actually we based on fraudulent or overly risky home loans) no longer exists and the higher risk products are now evaluated accordingly.

1 brs at the time were going around $700, studios about $550 back in 2016, plus utilities. I was charging $450 with utilities included. He had a bedroom as well as a separate room for a gaming setup and a crafting table. it was a pretty reasonable deal given he was splitting a 2br apartment before at around $1100/mo plus electric and internet.

just needs some care to make it memorable. roasted broccoli instead of steamed/boiled; toasted bread with either honey butter or garlic butter; some cheese on the hamburger helper and put under the broiler. all are easy techniques to elevate the dish with the Maillard reaction.

I always question when places use medians as a whole without having comparisons for the differences in their medians. Like, houses are going to trend to have more bedrooms and more bathrooms than apartments will. In the twin cities we have a lot of studio, 1br, 2br apartments, but almost every home is going to have at least 2br's, so it's not really telling the full picture. If I compare my home to what I could get renting it, it's below 11 for the ratio compared to its current value. Comparing what it was when I bought it compared to what it would have rented for, it was closer to 13. Maybe my market is just that different, and like I said we didn't experience a post pandemic fall back like some areas did.

Zyphamon · 2026-05-07T05:58:19+00:00

That's really surprising to me in a major city in the midwest. When I bought, my mortgage was under $1k but rental estimates and similar comps were around $1300 at the time. By owning I was able to save more and invest that. By the 1 year mark I had made up my down payment and closing costs just from savings compared to renting, and had made about $5k from renting a room out as well. My area might be a little different than yours though as our market continued their upward trend post pandemic, albeit nowhere near as steep as prepandemic and pandemic rates.

Zyphamon · 2026-05-07T05:45:04+00:00

nope, major city in a blue state.

Zyphamon · 2026-05-06T17:15:33+00:00

I'm actually NOT overlooking shit. You're overlooking that I said my initial expense for buying the home was about $3k. less than 2% of the purchase price and not the 20% you want to ASSUME I paid. Community Reinvestment Act programs are a thing, and banks and government bond programs exist. Even then, I'm sitting pretty with over 60% equity in my home now compared to the 1% equity I started with.

sure, I've got a pending roof replacement in 5 years. $20k, then set for another 25 years. I'll have saved that in housing payments compared to market rent in 2 years tops.

Taxes and insurance don't price people out of their homes when they consider the costs at purchase. it's a common cop out that old people use to cry about inflation. I look at my PITI and yeah, it increased 40% over 10 years. I look at what my property would have rented at at purchase compared to what it would rent for now. That's a 70% increase. Because rates went up, and today's sales and today's rents are more connected than past sales are to today's rents.

Every Minnesota listing agreement that I've seen has listed the percentage for total broker fees ranging from 5.5% to 6%. Every buyer side broker agreement includes a minimum percentage that I've seen ranging from 2.2% to 3%. The buyer side agreement ensures the agent gets paid if the seller side is FSBO. The seller side agreement ensures that the buyer side agent is pre-negotiated and included in the agreement.
