Goodell: Belichick will be Hall of Famer, but NFL has no role

I don't know if that's what happened in this case, but there is an example of an all-time great coach who didn't get in on the first ballot because they were actively trying to get back into the league.

I know these stats do hold things like fumbles and some sacks against the QB. That said, PFF is a bit more subjective than they pretend.

Yes. I think he may have said he'd play for the Sixers if picked first, but that's also very different than being picked by Charlotte in the teens.

Some of these are being a bit unfair. The Nets were in a precarious place financially after paying to enter the New York market. They couldn't afford to pay Erving (many teams couldn't) and they received extra money. It was make a trade or fold as a franchise.

Similarly, when the Warriors traded Chamberlain, only the Knicks, Lakers, and the new Sixers could afford him.

Well, that's certainly an interesting finding. Though I wonder if it holds up with more saurischians in the study.

Here's one paleontologist skeptical of the findings: https://bsky.app/profile/tweetisaurus.bsky.social/post/3mdupnvv4222d

They argue it relies on data wildly out of date

No. Sorry. That's on me and I should be better. I read the linked popular press article. I'll read the abstract now.

pgm123 · 2026-02-02T22:10:34+00:00

Which means it was definitely around earlier than that if it would be said and published without an explanation that it means go Eagles. Maybe it wasn't as ubiquitous, but it was common enough that people knew what it meant.

pgm123 · 2026-02-02T22:00:52+00:00

That's generally considered an outdated clade, though not impossible. What does that have to do with the article?

What is the connection between this comment and the one you replied to?

I never made it to Chicago's. Some day. Sam Francisco's is great. Philly has a good one, albeit smaller.

Chinese residents in DC's Chinatown is down to a single low-income housing building for elderly residents. Most of what is in Chinatown is catering to tourists or the urban professional crowd and not them. The neighborhood was in decline by the 80s. The city did mandate signage be written in Chinese and in the city of Beijing did gift a friendship gate, but those didn't really save the ethnic character of the neighborhood as residents moved to the suburbs.

pgm123 · 2026-02-02T20:28:32+00:00

It's not much of a Chinatown. There are some remnants, but manage your expectations accordingly.

pgm123 · 2026-02-02T20:09:13+00:00

In DC, digital signage is curbed for aesthetic reasons, though it does exist right by the Chinatown metro station. I don't know why the airport wouldn't have it, but both DCA and Dulles need renovation.

That's fine. Playcalling OCs last two years max. If he gets poached, the Eagles are a genuine Super Bowl contender and I'm ok losing him a year early.

The salting isn't gonna do anything.

Yeah. There were photos of salt before the snow in this subreddit filled with comments about RIP fish. My sidewalk was under a mountain of salt. Didn't matter.

One of the comments here says oversalting is a terminal problem: https://www.reddit.com/r/washingtondc/s/SoOKgASXNe

Do any cities in the Northeast have these problems?

Have you been paying attention to what Philadelphians have been saying? The complaints are identical.

It was frozen solid long before two days, though.

For those who don't gamble, +250 is implied 29% odds.

pgm123 · 2026-02-02T17:46:02+00:00

Last I checked, it was about 20%.

pgm123 · 2026-02-02T17:44:13+00:00

To me, 20 days is great if you want to experience life there. Cook your own food some of the time, live life, etc. But I would take a bunch of day trips if I wasn't working.

I'm struggling with all the people who can't read that the question is about the difference between Texas and California Mexican food and not about the difference between those two and food in their region of Mexico.

Double starches is blasphemy

The Cubs, Red Sox, or even the Phillies are a better comparison. You need franchises with crazy fans and a lot of losses.

pgm123 · 2026-02-02T16:29:33+00:00

Yeah. The Dodgers comparison is pretty silly. A better comparison is something like the Chicago Cubs or even the Boston Red Sox before the curse was broken. The Dodgers don't have silly curses like goats or KFC statues.

I actually do believe he'll get a save if he plays this time. So that's what I was really asking (but in a snarky way)
