Hey everyone. As most of you know, I just had my first son and am currently on paternity leave. We've gotten past the first couple weeks of figuring things out and I am in an okay spot to start making some nice improvements around here as outlined here: One of the things I was able to do is get a license to an NFL API (thank you to our great Patrons!) with everything from teams to rosters to schedules to stats to news and so on. I have already built most of the bones on the back-end including populating some database tables with all the goodies and scheduled updates. Soon we will have a live schedule, scoreboard, news ticker (since Elon messed up what we had), and a lot more. I also hope to bring back JTB's old salary cap stuff. Where I am at now is designing the front end to the application as it pertains the teams, rosters, statistics, player profiles, and the like. This is where I could use your help. I would like it to not be boring, so if you have seen any really great looking pages out there that cover these please let me know. For example, I like the player profile layout at https://www.playerprofiler.com/nfl/jahmyr-gibbs/bio/. I am already working on a pretty cool team page with filterable positions, but of course there is a lot more to do there. You can see a VERY EARLY preview here: x I know I can show statistics and results, but I am not completely sure about the legalities of team names, player photos, and some other stuff so I will have to figure that out and adjust things to stay out of trouble. Anyway, please shoot me any great examples you have seen and I will see if they can be used. This also opens up a lot of other great opportunities for some cool stuff like bringing back a better version of the knock-out tournament and stuff. I have a few weeks to do as much as I can before going back to work so I will do as much as I can.

still a classic! "...a beautiful dog "

Man.....a whole lot of Republicans are gonna be super pissed off if their favorite amendment leads to the dismissal of the lone felony charge against Hunter Biden.

And I'm afraid it wouldn't

I think this was a feature when we did the beat the spread tournament years ago. It was cool seeing the yearly records for predictions. We do something similar still but it’s on yahoo. Would be way better if it were a TR feature again!

I would love to see some sort of tool where people can go in and grade a specific player after a game, and then it would compile the scores everyone gives to give a community grade on how a player has performed for, say career, season, and last four games. An overall reputation count and more trophies, I think, could be a cool idea. I love the bet with fake money thing we did a few years ago, and the yearly survivor leagues have been pretty awesome. Perhaps some sort of page for those, even a separate forum for some of those. Perhaps some sort of tool where the rest of the community can see how the fantasy league and such are doing and current rankings, I think, could be pretty cool. These are just some ideas off the top of my head. Hope it helps.

I haven’t seen anything and I’m a current PSL holder.

I asked about 10 days ago and was tos by the Titans office they have not been released, The surveys that came out earlier this year were from third party consultant firm. All I know of is they opened up the wait list for PSLs for those who want them not currently owning now.

A feature that gives the team's current salary cap status, individual players contract info, present and future salary cap hit, maybe even on their bio page, but it may be more efficient to have a separate salary cap page. We don't want to add too much to your already full plate, though. We realize you have some other people that maybe be needing your expertise.

https://www.newsweek.com/hunter-biden-gets-boost-judge-rules-gun-charge-unconstitutional-1818871 The conviction of a man for possessing a firearm while an "unlawful user" of drugs has been quashed by an appeals court, in a case that could offer fresh hope to Hunter Biden, who has been charged with the same offense. In a ruling issued on Wednesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit overturned the conviction of Patrick Daniels, judging the initial decision of a lower court was a violation of his Second Amendment rights. Daniels had been convicted under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(3), which states that it is illegal for anyone "who is an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance" to possess a gun. Kaelan Deese, a Washington Examiner's Supreme Court reporter, described this as "the same statute Hunter Biden is charged under" on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter. However, the higher court judged American "history and tradition" does not "justify disarming a sober citizen based exclusively on his past drug usage" in its ruling overturning the conviction.

Have they officially released the PSL prices? I’m hearing as high as $75,000.

Practically every vid from Ukraine, aside from some scant tree line, armored vehicles are totally exposed. It really shows how pre-90s, all infantry / artillery this war is. A full scale NATO air campaign would completely decimate anything like this. You’d almost feel bad for them.

@TitansGuru I've always wanted to have a searchable "plays" interface. Part of what I was thinking about was how to minimize DB costs i.e. spider play by play files to disk and only pay for the search index rather than a DB plus a search engine plus etc. Which API did you license?

I want everyone who has put me on ignore to receive a push notification when I log in

the numbers are roughly 30% GOP 30% Independent 40% Democrat In 2016 the independents had no clue about Trump. In 2020 they broke for Biden because Trump fucked up Covid. But now, coming up on 2024, people know who Trump is. He’s the worst possible candidate for the Republicans but they are too obsessed to recognize that the dude is a loser.

Dang....poor Russia just can't catch a break. Obviously the past year and a half has been an exercise in national embarrassment for Russia after having their supposedly dominant military exposed and humiliated in Ukraine. Now the Russian space program's first moon landing in fifty years has ended in disaster and appears to be a total loss. https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/20/world/luna-25-spacecraft-moon-collision-intl/index.html It's been a really, REALLY bad year for Putin and his entire regime. You can't help but wonder how many more international embarrassments and multi-billion dollar fuck-ups the Russian people will be willing to accept before demanding a change in leadership.

That's what it's 100% about

Trump posts his bs to trick his fans into sending him more money

It's not even about "giving him a break"- They're actively disingenuous about the state of the economy and actively push back against and cover up and intentionally overlook the vast accomplishments of the Biden administration in the name of pandering to a populist audience.

But Hunter Biden and 5 million dollars! If it weren't so comical to laugh at the stupidity and cognitive dissonance of Republicans this stuff would piss me off...so I'm glad I can just laugh about it these days.

I made a joke about it being the PS6 back in the original thread last year guys, you're too late.

I'll see your record playing Xbox and raise you a Playstation

That stadium looks like a giant Xbox.

huh? Handicap parking fee collections has nothing to do with it. It’s about the property value that the parking lot occupies. A developer would much rather build something on that land vs using it for parking. Speaking of stadiums, here in DC it’s crazy how things have changed since Daniel Snyder sold the commanders. DC and MD are tripping over themselves to make a deal and they wouldn’t even talk to Snyder. I really hope the Commanders land at the old RFK spot
