[quote]What’s the difference between a concentration and a major at NYU? Those all sound like thesis subjects.

Seems like a concentration there is something that doesn't have a defined major, but was your main area of study. Hearing these majors, I don't really know how that's possible....

Didn’t realize that our fleet is so young. We have a 2015 Firs Fusion with 135k miles and a 2020 Ram with 44k. Both have been paid off for some time. What’s truly nuts is that we bought the Ram for $45k new the same 2020 model is selling for close to that used. Prices have truly gone crazy....

Gabe "Señor Sack" Rivera.
Instead of the Steelers taking Dan Marino or one of the other Hall of Fame QB's, they took Rivera a DL.
He might have turned out to be good but shortly after the draft he was driving drunk and swerved into oncoming traffic and ended up paralyzed from the accident....

[quote]It's a takeaway, but a bad one
Defense adjusts to the offense and had a pretty good advantage last year, IIRC
This just wasn't a draft with elite D talent. No elite edges, no 2-way DIs, 2 good CBs who had some issues. No great coverage safeties.[/quote]
The statistics bear out that o...
