I actually like this idea from Kempski.

https://www.phillyvoice.com/mailbag-would-russell-wilson-even-want-to-play-for-eagles-trade-rumors/

Question from PF: You have been clear that Jalen Reagor will be back next year. But wouldn't a bust-for-bust "change of scenery" trade make sense? Who are some busts around the league you think make sense to target in such a trade?

Looking at the 2020 NFL Draft, the player that I think might make some sense for that kind of deal would be K'Lavon Chaisson, who has 2 sacks in 2 years with the Jaguars. 

1. He fits an Eagles need at edge rusher, and it's possible that the Jags could take an edge rusher (like Aidan Hutchinson, for example) with the No. 1 overall pick. 
2. He was drafted by Dave Caldwell, who now works for the Eagles. The Eagles have traded for two other Caldwell picks in Gardner Minshew and Josiah Scott.
3. The Jags need help at wide receiver, and Jacksonville is a town when Reagor would face a lot less pressure to perform.

I'd take anything for Reagor but wouldn't Chaisson be too small in this scheme to be an edge rusher? He could play the Avery role I suppose.

That'd be my guess. Talented player coming out but would be a shot in the dark at this point. But at this point getting rid of Reagor is addition by substraction so why not.

Doug is dumb, but I have a hard to time believing he's dumb enough to want that stiff on his team.  

Maybe if we sweeten the deal with JJAW….

That's a hold in the NFL.  Should be a hold in college too.  Hand grabbing the back of his jersey and tackling him to the ground to prevent a free run at the QB.  

What NFL games have you been watching?

Did you see how close he was to catching a TD this season?  Dude is progressing.  

If we choose to sign rather than draft a S in FA like we have done the last few vacancies, I would like this.

According to the flow chart isn't Tweet a Dougy P pick?

JJAW doesn’t catch much in any game.

Tweet?  Is that a new name for Reachor?  He would be a Doug pick now.  Unless he has a good season, then it would be a Lowie pick.  

Good season... that's seems pretty far fetched.  Tweet Reachor + Dougy P forever. 

I guess if Tweet does improve in JAX - then it becomes Siri's fault for not tapping into the potential.

Perhaps the insurance industry has made you cynical.  I don't think anyone faults him for not jumping after her but he showed a real lack of empathy by just turning and walking away.  She a sports photographer.  My guess is that she's not going to sue anyone that could give her business. 

In NC, she would have no claim because we are one of the few pure contributory negligence states left.  I hope she has health insurance and short-term disability.  It's possible she could carry her own WC coverage but that seems unlikely. I'm guessing even if she was hired to cover the event she's probably an independent contractor and not anyone's employee. Of course, that cuts both ways because she may very well be able to sue the entity that hired her for the fall to the extent she can prove they were negligent vs. a more limited workers' comp recovery. 

I will admit that I am a bit cynical as to when cases might be pursued.  We can’t really see what Stafford could see but it is obvious as the shot pans out that there are a lot of people on the ground. I don’t read lips well enough to tell if he was asking for help.  The short clip can be read a lot of ways.  

The idea of worker’s compensation was kind of socialist in 1912 when it swept across the US.  Back then, an employee had to sue their employer for negligence (and the law pretty much was contributory negligence barred recovery.) Even if they had a good case, the injured employees were obligated to pay for their care and didn’t get paid while they waited for the suit to resolve.  Heck liability insurance really didn’t exist much back then.   Employers, in return for paying for Worker’s Compensation, gained immunity (sometimes limited) from suits by employees.  Since the majority of injuries are self caused (most common by far are lifting back injuries), this was great for employees.  They got their medical covered and some replacement wages while off work. To this day, employers grumble about worker’s compensation premiums (and as we both know, sometimes cheat.)

I really don’t like contributory negligence. (Most insurers don’t but for different reasons than mine.  Less risk, less need for insurance and less premiums.) It really doesn’t fit my idea of fairness.  It seems grossly unfair if you are 1% responsible for the incident and others are 99%  responsible, that you can’t collect in MD, NC and AL. Contribution amongst defendants skews things the other way in those states, especially in AL but both are archaic remnants of contributory negligence laws.  I dislike joint and several for the same reason I dislike contributory negligence.  It is absurd that because you can pay, even though you liability is slim (say 10% or less) that you have to pay for all the damages.  Makes "deep pockets” a target.   I wonder if that is why Remington just paid to settle that suit.  Sandy Hook took place before the state abolished joint and several so sue the shooter and the gun company and the gun company faces 100% of the damages. 

Now CA slants way towards the unfair against defendants, not just with pure comparative.  Hospital bills $100,000, in CA you can claim that even though you health insurer paid $10,000 and the hospital accepted that.  Defendant can’t mention that.  That’s unfair.  Pure comparative seems absurd.  If you are 90% responsible for an incident, it is crazy you can even sue.  I like greater than like PA.  If I am more than 50% responsible, I can’t sue.  That’s fair. 
 

Lol Stafford is such an a-hole

I'm sure NFL players will be happy to honor contracts as long as teams are prevented from cutting players before a contract expires.  

There is nothing in the CBA that says contracts can’t be fully guaranteed. The teams are following the rules of the signed contract.

Kirk Cousins’ initial Vikings deal was fully guaranteed.

Well if the "stage" had no railing I could see her winning some cash. At the end of the day though my hopes are that she's okay

When was the last time you saw a railing on a stage.  I am trying to think back through 65 years of movies, plays, concerts, lectures, comedians, musicals (the wife is worth those), ballet, dance recitals, assemblies, presentations and magic acts and I can’t think of one time seeing a railing on a stage.  So given that the standard is what would a reasonable and prudent person do in stage assembly, did the builder not meet that standard?  

I hope she is okay too.  Spinal fracture can be a compression fracture (Wentz has had that twice) or a traverse process fracture, like Romo had, so it is not necessarily a serious injury.

Do they really need men and women's curling teams? Still haven't watched any Olympics, guess it is still going.

I would say they don't "need them" but why can't they have them if they want to?
