Clearly real men slap other grown men on awards shows.  There was nothing manly about what Will Smith did when he hiked up his skirt to go on stage and slap Chris Rock.  If he had an issue with it he should have taken it up with him after.  If he's so concerned about people commenting on him and his family perhaps he and his wife could stop oversharing every little detail about their marriage and their kids with the public.

As Russian's invasion of Ukraine has unfolded I keep thinking of Operation Odessa that I watched a year or two ago.  No doubt it was embellished but at the same time there's certain aspects of it that no one denied or disagreed with.  When the Soviet Union fell anyone with enough money could buy tanks, other weapons and apparently even a Soviet submarine if they got in touch with the right person, usually a general or someone higher up in the military.  Anyways I've always just assumed even now that the Russian military is ridiculously corrupt and it wouldn't surprise me if high ranking members have made themselves wealthy at the expense of their army.  Also wouldn't surprise me if they thought they had things locked away for years or even decades that were sold off a long time ago.

I definitely won't miss Hill in the AFC West but KC got a ridiculous return for a WR.  Like you said I'm sure as a fan of the team it sucks but he wanted top receiver money while he's 28 and known for his speed more than anything and that's usually the first thing that starts to go.  He's still in his prime don't get me wrong but he's not built like the type of top receiver who usually has success in his early 30's.  He has his ring and wanted to get paid while his best option for that was somewhere else as KC's window with Mahomes could be the next decade plus and they need to take that into account with other players they sign, trade or let walk ala NE during Brady's tenure.  As a Broncos fan I'd much rather see KC paying Hill ~25M a year into his early 30's while the smart business move was moving him especially considering what they got. 

I don't disagree with anything you've said about him.  Unfortunately though it seems like his administration really had few solutions for anything going on before he was elected and to make matters worse he's now dealing with Russia invading Ukraine and inflation that's hitting 40 year highs and looks to be headed even higher.  As you said there's no magic bullet for some issues but his administration definitely hasn't done anything that instills much confidence.  I'm glad we got out of Afghanistan but logistically that was a massive failure.  This is what we get when people just wanted the other person out of office.  Hopefully for the 2024 presidential election the main candidates aren't bat shit insane, completely full of crap or too far right/left but we'll probably end up with Newsom vs. DeSantis as we continue to circle the drain politically.

I'm in the same boat as Don.  I was going to say real life is the biggest reason my interest has decreased over the years but I still make time for the NFL even when my team isn't competitive.  2002-2009 as an Angels fan we were definitely spoiled while they've made the playoffs once since 2010.  Following a team that has more or less been out of the playoff hunt when the last month or so of the regular season rolls around has made me less interested over the years.  It's been like Groundhog Day where the Angels miss out on SP in the off season, some fans say wait until the trade deadline then when the Angels miss out there they say the cost was too high wait until FA or the off season for trades, rinse and repeat.  More power to you for being optimistic but ownership/management doing the same thing repeatedly after trying to say the right things doesn't give me much faith.  Add to that a 162 game regular season that lasts half a year, a sport that to me is boring on TV and the current lock out and I'm closer and closer to MLB being like the NBA for me which I have no interest in for other reasons.  Hopefully that changes but if not I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it.

Don't worry Edison and PG&E have been hard at work figuring out how to get more money out of people who use solar panels https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/story/2022-02-03/california-utilities-commission-wont-vote-on-controversial-rooftop-solar-bill-until-further-notice

Spoke to someone who is originally from Poland it was cool to hear what businesses and individuals in Poland are doing to help those who are fleeing Ukraine.  He said he's never seen anything like it as far as people coming together and the lengths they're going to trying to help.  Kudos to Russia for being the asshole the world needed to bring people together.

Yeah then you definitely get it.  If the 2020 Redskins had a legit QB to go with their defense which allowed the 4th fewest points per game then they likely have a higher seeding and make some noise in the playoffs.  Lack of a QB always makes me think of the Bears graphic they like to show during packers/bears games showing the list of QB's the bears have had vs. Favre/Rodgers in GB.

Rodgers signs 4 year $200M extension with GB https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/aaron-rodgers-packers-agree-to-four-year-deal-as-qb-becomes-highest-paid-player-in-nfl-history/
Russell Wilson supposedly traded to Denver https://www.nfl.com/news/broncos-acquiring-seahawks-qb-russell-wilson-in-trade-for-multiple-first-round-p
As a Broncos fan I thought the Rodgers talk of him possibly ending up in Denver was setting them up for disappointment and another year of something like Bridgewater/Lock at QB or trading up for a QB in the draft who is a project.  If they landed Wilson that's huge and I don't mind them giving up first/second round picks for a few years especially if he signs an extension. 
 

Acquiring a legit QB in his prime is never cheap and rarely done in FA.  Manning signing with the Broncos was an anomaly and not the norm.  Denver hasn't had a legit QB since Manning retired and even in that last year his arm was toast.  I'll take the overpay and chance at being competitive instead of throwing darts via rookie QB's and cheap 1 year FA signings.
