It always makes me laugh how scared of weapons the euros are when compared to Americans.

Teach safety, remove the forbidden fruit aspect, all good.

Also having difficulty with the A-Stan reference.

So teaching kids about weapons=they go off and "fight for an oil company" and lose "their legs or genitals".

Yeah, this guy is a douche.

its almost like sex ed. people are soo freaking scared to talk about these things with children and in the end teen pregnancy and STD's are rampant.

Im all for professionals teaching younger people how to take care of a gun. Knowledge on how to do things whether it be dangerous or not is better than ignorance.

Yeah, the us leads the world in the least amount of gun violence. Stupid europeeens

True, but not a fallacy of being able to own a gun properly. Other things about our society plays a role.

Look at Sweden (or Switz?) and you'll see it can be done. I personally believe things like columbine, the theatre shooting, VA tech could be avoided if Americans rose to learn how to defend themselves against criminals who couldn't care less about the laws. American society should embrace defending themselves. It won't happen until people feel more confident about the 'dirty' notion of owning a gun/

Sweden is an example of how it can be done. I am talking in a mere sense of 'if you're going to have it be legal in the first place...' sense rather than legal vs. illegal. But hard to imagine mass murders caring whether it is legal or not, and the resons behind these kinds of behaviors dwell in completeley different areas than whether a gun is legal or not.

So my main point if basically if you legalize it, and have a right for self-defense it will work much better when these things are embraced rather than shunned.

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
