Hehe. Okay.

It takes two to trade.

Someone can "demand" anything they want. But they "get" what they demand only if someone agrees to give it to them.

The complaint of this cartoon character (I can never remember who is Calvin and who is Hobbes) is like the guy who complains of getting the clap from a cut-rate prostitute. He needs to look in the mirror.

How's that?

(of course it'll probably get DakotaT all riled up.) [grin1]

Calvin is the boy. Hobbes the cat.
Obviously there are a great many flaws in Calvin's logic. Thus the cartoon. This is not meant to be a Harvard Business dissertation. (Not even Kellogg Business either.)

Edit- Sometimes I love my job.

I effin' hate Doonesbury. Read it regularly and you might as well just visit the Trepanning Institute. [grin1]

While others may not know of Kellogg with a google search, or think of a breakfast cereal, I knew that you would know better.

Doonesbury side note-
One of my favorites was when Roland Hedley was trying to get the inside scoop of what was going on at the Walden Pond commune. One day he was sitting with Mike by the pond. Roland said that while talking to Zonker, Zonker let it slip that the members of commune were having casual sex. (Later revealed as a fabrication for Roland's benefit.) Roland then asked Mike what Zonker meant. Mike said, "Blue jeans optional." I still laugh at that line.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
