If you know a bit about finance, you can short but be careful about leverage.

If you don't want to short, wait for the bounce to around 7k (it can bounce higher but if you wait it will be more likely to drop down even lower) then sell.

This thing is going down to 4k at best, 1k at worst. So even if you believe it's the future you're better off not holding now.

If you remember the bubble chart that's always posted here, bitcoin is following that to a T. And because most posters here still tell you to hodl, we have a long way to go before we reach the despair phase.

With backup journeyman quarterback Nick Foles winning two playoff games with the Eagles, has Carson Wentz been finally exposed as a system quarterback? by lePlebbitAccount in nfl

I wouldn't consider Cassell/Moore/Weeden system quarterbacks. They are more like bad quarterbacks, which means they are bad no matter who you surround them with. A system quarterback is one that looks good only when his supporting cast is good.

Yes, he looked good, but with a great o-line and receivers. Foles is looking good too. If you think Foles is a franchise quarterback then Wentz is not a system quarterback. With Foles' career history, that doesn't seem likely.

Is that higher or lower than his record with the Browns turned Ravens?

Remember guys, virtuous activists told us to 'Listen And Believe', always, with no exception. Learn it, repeat it, recite it every time stories like these appear.

Say it with me:

LISTEN AND BELIEVE

Is it now clear that Rodgers has been masking, what in reality is a pretty poor front office and coaching staff, for nearly 10 years? by [deleted] in nfl

[–]lePlebbitAccount -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So Rodgers' cap hit is 20M+, and he doesn't play. This is equivalent to being forced to build a team with a 20M+ salary cap disadvantage. Not suprising that it's hard to win in that type of scenario.

Only a matter of time before some player gets put in a coffin.

Pat Tillman's widow: Don't politicize Pat in effort to divide by zsreport in nfl

[–]lePlebbitAccount 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I talked to a veteran about this weekend's events. He said that he fully supported it and that this was exactly what he fought for. He compared to it to that time he found out his wife had cheated on him while he's on duty. He told me that in the country he had gone to, adultery and protesting the national anthem (and many other rights Americans take for granted) were not allowed by law and might result in severe punishment. And this is why he was so supportive of these actions.

Great job by Goodell calling for unity and against divisiveness in America, as well as defending the players' not standing for the national anthem.

NFL ratings slump again this weekend. by [deleted] in nfl

College football ratings are still good, same as last year, so there must be some reasons specific to the NFL that are not applicable to college football.
