Jett Elad

Isn't this the same issue that the QB from Vanderbilt sued the NCAA over?
I believe that Jett is challenging the 5 year NCAA rule. He is basically saying his one year playing at the Community College level should not count against his NCAA eligibility { FWIW I agree }. He is basing his appeal on the exact same situation that was given to his UNLV QB. He got the waiver from the NCAA as should Jett.

A lot of countries around China have been alternatives for manufacturing…apparel textiles etc…

NKE will be hurt as I’ve mentioned above and there was a question about DECK, they won’t be immune either.

From the article:

Trump said he will put a 46% duty on imports from Vietnam as part of a new wave of global levies announced Wednesday. That could soon raise costs for major corporations in the apparel, furniture and toy space, and some of them may pass those increases to consumers in the form of price hikes. The tariffs on Vietnam take effect on April 9.

Vietnam was the second largest countryfor suppliers of Ugg and Hoka parent company Deckers Brands as of this month. The company has 68 supply chain partners in Vietnam, which is surpassed only by its 125 suppliers in China. Deckers shares dropped nearly 9% in extended trading. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.


Thankfully I haven't bought DECK or LULU yet, but I'm watching closely.

Looks like how Trump calculate it. It has nothing to do with tariffs and everything to do with deficit. A country can have no tariffs but still have a deficit.
Agreed. Dumb as dogshit. And it's not even how people (including Trump team members) have talked about trade deficits on CNBC and other outlets.

One other thing to consider. It's not only about absolute value of exports vs. imports. You need to take into account population. Trade with Mexico is about $500B imports vs. $330B exports. So we buy more from them. However, when you consider Mexico has 1/3 the population, they buy WAY more per capita from the US than we buy from them. This dynamic is even more pronounced with Canada.

Total opposite with China.

30 Ks in the last two games...YIKES
the bats dont help when you don't make contact.

And I am just kidding with you- the offensive start the Yankees have had has very little to do with the bats. I am going to bet that if you take the Yankee stats out of all the new bat stats for all players in the league- there would not be a huge difference.

Make tush push illegal?

The triple option is hardcore, traditional football but the cry babies wanted it killed just like they want the TP canceled.
There are a dozen other things morphing football into a con job and the TP isn't one of them.
The only take anyone should have on the tush push is that if it is now legal for an offensive player to push a player with the ball forward, then the play is legal and stfu.
Now, if someone is saying that they wish they didnt change the rule in 2005, ok- you are allowed to say so.

The real problem with the TP is momentum of the player. So often, progress is stopped but the play continues.

But, oh well- one team has perfected it and the others have not. How f-ing hard is it to get your team to be able to do the same thing.
