@ProFootballTalk Aren't you someone who covers the NFL and is a lawyer? Maybe if you covered, or atleast acknowledge the lawsuits that have been going on the last few years this wouldn't be surprising.
I am currently formulating a decent argument that had the name not changed from Redskins, at least some reduced scope of the Post sports department would still exist.
Nuking the name and logo was always going to have second and third order knock-on effects. This is now effectively a bad expansion team, whose own history and legacy “shall not be spoken of!”
NFL franchises drive sports radio in every single market, and much the same for all media. When this franchise was stripped naked by the hysteria of the moment, it was instantly and gravely wounded.
Of course these are all things that the “what does the name matter” crowd just don’t understand, and never will.
The continued disrespect of Redskins greats by the Pro Football Hall of Fame's voting process is ridiculous. @JoeJacoby66HOG, @BMITCHLIVE30 and @LFletcher59 all should have gotten inducted into the HOF years ago.
To follow up on my post about interest rates and inflation…here is a little broader explanation. Bernanke held the federal funds rate at 0% for 7-years…M2 Stable…No Inflation. Powell held the funds rate at 0% for 2-years…M2 surged…Inflation. M2 caused the inflation, not low rates and raising rates does not bring down inflation. It’s all a head fake by the Fed. QE and “abundant reserve” monetary policy have severed the connection between money growth and interest rates. This does not mean that rates should be 0%. They should be about 1.5% above inflation, which today would put the federal funds rate at about 4%, not 4.5%. The Fed should cut by 50 bps immediately. Also, the money supply is now picking up again…growing at a 6.9% annualized rate in the past three months. That is too fast. But the key point is that rates are now set by the Fed itself…whatever it wants to do…whether it makes sense or not. We should have never held rates at 0% for nine years…but the Fed wanted to make it cheaper for the government to issue debt and spend, spend, spend.

Now? M2 is flat. 👉 That’s why inflation is cooling faster than expected.

Supposedly imports are really good for us, so good that the Trump tariffs are said to be bad. Now that imports have surged, and that is counted as a negative in GDP, the very same people who think imports are good are trying to say they are bad because they took GDP down. Weird!
If more than 75% of the stocks on the NYSE are higher today (and looking pretty likely as of now) a rare Zweig Breadth Thrust (ZBT) will trigger today.
Since WWII, the S&P 500 has never been lower 6- and 12-months later.
I am fascinated by the analysis of one-day stock market moves. Evidently, editorial writers and analysts know exactly why they happened. Somehow, the moves exactly match their preconceived bias. Trump makes move, markets go down, must be Trump. Today, the markets are up…will they write that this is good news about policy, or will they call this technical? Stocks were over-valued and overdue for a correction. So far, it is very orderly. But, if you can use it to scare people I guess you will.
Over the last 10 years, US Federal Government Tax Revenue has increased 60% to nearly $5 Trillion while Government Spending has increased 95% to over $7 Trillion.
The result: a doubling in the US National Debt from $18 trillion to $36 trillion.

Why did we forecast 5,200 for the S&P 500 this year? Why have we been bearish for 18 months? Because our Cap Profits Model told us to do it. Where do we stand now? See for yourself. Tell me what the 10-year yield will be and how much profits will grow, and fair value appears.
So…wait…did tariffs cause the Great Depression? I thought it was speculation? I mean the entire apparatus of government regulation and redistribution was dreamed up by the left to fix Capitalism in the 1930s. Now it’s tariffs. So let’s cut government.
The government HAS NO CAPS ON CHOLESTEROL..for ten years now.
So why didn’t they tell you? 🤔
The U.S. government quietly dropped its cholesterol cap in 2015 (the American Heart Association did the same in 2013), yet most people still think dietary cholesterol is something to fear.
Why? Maybe because our government is too afraid to publicly correct its mistake.
There was no information campaign, no big announcement—mostly just silence.
Here’s the truth: cholesterol isn’t the enemy.
The government even funded many large-scale, randomized clinical trials to test the link between #cholesterol and heart disease.
What did they find? 👇
No proof that eating meat, butter, and cheese leads to heart disease.
Some studies even showed the opposite: the more people lowered their cholesterol, the more likely they were to die from heart disease.
So what happened to those studies?
Buried. Suppressed. Ignored.
One sat in the basement of the NIH for years, never published. Another delayed publication for 16 years.
And while the government dropped its cholesterol caps, it still says that healthy diets are "lower in cholesterol"
It's time to ask: why are we still being misled?
Over the last 10 years, US Federal Government Tax Revenue has increased 60% while Government Spending has increased 98%. The result: a doubling in the US National Debt from $18 trillion to $36 trillion.
Budget deficits of $2 trillion per year, with the unemployment rate below 4%, had the US on a path to no longer being “exceptional.” Anyone who says ending that means we won’t be exceptional anymore is suspect. We will no longer be exceptionally and fiscally irrresponsible.
