Just think of the traditional Northeast Republicans (an extinct breed, like the Dodo). 

Think there are more of us Dodos around than you think.

Never could get into wrestling with people hitting others with chairs, jumping off ladders and other zaniness.  Olympic wrestling yes, TV wrestling no.  

What we really should be talking about is Ian Poulter’s fart at the Travelers.

All of the dems, name a dem that is close to true center.

Traditional Left policies would be in my view FDR great new deal, right would be reaganomics.

The left are closer to reaganomics than they are FDR and the right are reaganomics on steroids.

Marx had some good ideas as well. Mao dont know much about him, im assuming communist dictator???

Communism has its merits as well.

I think you're conflating certain policies.  Reaganomics, if it is really a political economic philosphy, had more to do with changing tax policies and de-regulation than anything else.  I don't think FDR's policies really had an overlap with Reaganomics.  In some sense, Reagan's policies were a push back on environmental and other regulatory policies that were really a part of Congressional regulatory efforts stemming from the 1960s.  The taxation policy Reagan was pushing back on were really taxation structures that dated back to WW2 and the 1950s or Eisenhower.  FDR's passage of Social Security and Medicare was something that was not really at issue for Reagan although there is definitely a right wing sided resistance to both of these programs.  

I do think centrist Democrats and Republicans are fairly close in terms of taxation policy.  I think right and left plays out very differently on the local, state and federal levels.  

You should read about Mao.  He was the face of Chinese communism.  His policies led to the death of millions of Chinese people.

WWF was awesome back in the day IMO

Garner and Westbrook were completely different.

Garner was a great slasher, hit the hole and he was gone. Average receiver but dangerous with space to run b/c of his acceleration

Westbrook was one of the great receiving backs of all time, WR hands and could run WR routes and catch balls over his shoulder. Good but not great runner, low center of gravity but small. What made him special was change of speeds, he'd force tacklers to slow down then burst past them, made him really effective on screens.

Watters said the wrong things but he was a big back who was a finesse runner, which didn't fit the Philly fan mold, but perfect for the WCO b/c he was an excellent receiver. Could squeeze through cracks and get positive yardage, didn't look like he ran hard but always seem to fall forward.

McCoy was a runner first, quickness and vision, good but not great receiver. Wasn't explosive like Garner but more polished as a runner.

Duce was the ultimate Philly RB, like Watters was built for the WCO, but was tough as nails, I think lead the league in YAC, but his style also shortened his career, though the LIz Franc was more of a fluke, if he stays healthy Andy might have gotten his ring in Philly.

Great breakdown. Westbrook in his prime was, in my opinion, the best of the bunch. Christian McCaffrey with more power.

i loved Herschel Walker as an Eagle. He was way past his prime but he could do it all as a runner receiver and returner. Too bad he spent all those years in minnesota wasting away and in dallas being the only weapon and wasting his time in usfl.

I always appreciated what he did for the eagles voted team MVP two years in a row on some crappy eagles teams one led by bubby brister oof.

WWF of the 80s was so great.  Then things got weird and then in 2000 things took off again with The Rock coming on.  I was a huge fan of Kane and the Undertaker.  I loved Kane as this mysterious creature who couldn't speak.  He was a monster.  Just loved everything about him.  The intro walk, the music, flames and of course the mask.  They eventually ruined him when they gave him a voice and took the mystery away from him.  I could be wrong but I think he is a mayor in Tennessee now.

Wrestling was great when I was a kid. As an adult, I just don’t get the fascination.

FSN every Wednesday has throwbacks to ppv from like 80s to mid 2000s. The older ones are definitely more entertaining. Right around 2004-05 it really begins to just drop off. The End of stone cold, rock era was really where it fell off the cliff for most people.

I stopped watching sometime before they changed the name. Didn’t watch when Cena started.

Part of the problem is what % of the population will be taking the 75% effective vaccine

I don't see how anyone on here would know 100% but it is more than likely everything just rolls over

Even if only half the population takes the vaccine at 75%, that's still 37% that would be ideally immune.  That's not exactly ideal, but it would eliminate over 100 million potential carriers, which would lower the risks for everyone else in that 200 million plus crowd.    The real goal is to get the transmission rate down under 1... under 0.5 would be better.  Well, if 1/3 of the population couldn't contract it, that cuts down significantly on the transmission rate.  And if 2/3 of the population took it at 75% effectiveness, that's half the population being covered successfully.  At least, that's how my math goes, though I'm not sure how it would really work.   

Most rookies still haven’t been signed. Training camp is a month away.

Wrestling goes through stages where it gets hot and when it just flounders. Kinda like daytime soap operas.

Wrestling is EXACTLY a daytime soap opera.  But, its done in leotards, etc.

It would help, for sure. I'm just going off what Fauci said the other day, and was rather blunt about. If 2/3 took the vaccine (which seems over optimistic to me) we wouldn't reach herd immunity.

Some very notable free agents as well.  It's crazy to think guys like Clowney, Ryan, Warford, Griffen, Dareus etc are still out there.
