No doubt. Let’s get rid of Sinclair and NPR.They are both extremists with an agenda

I'm not downplaying it. It's just that racism is pretty much Boston's brand. They are often regarded as the most racist city in America. It's probably fair to factor that into a decision whether to move there or not.

I've spent time in Boston and it earns its reputation as a cold east coast city. I don't know why, but people seem uptight and unfriendly there.
Baltimore is extremely welcoming. People say "hey" to you on the street here.
If I were trying to choose between JHU and Harvard I would talk to some people at both universities. How happy they are will say more to what you can expect at each place than what a bunch of reddit weirdos like me have to offer. The answer will almost certainly depend on the culture of the program at each.

I don't believe I said that. And, if you're honest about it, neither do you.

Yeah I mean I love the guy as a player but he seems pretty dumb. Even tucker is putting out royal farms commercials.

How does this let them push their agenda any more or less than before?

It’s not about Sinclair choosing, it’s about them pushing their agenda

Reply to comment by jabbadarth in Ravens designate QB Lamar Jackson with non-exclusive franchise tag by Cody_in_Baltimore
I believe the reason he’s so adamant about a fully guaranteed contract is because he has almost no endorsements. Yes mahomes and Rodgers are making $45million per, but they’re making almost as much in State Farm and subway commercials. It’s another reason why he’s so stupid for not having an agent. There’s no way he can properly be an nfl qb, negotiate a massive contract, and secure endowment deals all at the same time and it’s probably cost him tens of millions of dollars

Difference is when your $50million QB goes down vs your $10million running back or $15million DE. The cap implications are massive not to mention most positions you can slide in a decent replacement or sign one off the street. QBs, especially one with such a unique skill set as Lamar, are irreplaceable

I’m an outpatient nurse at JH and I do not get overtime. If I stay late, I just let my supervisor know I’m leaving early the next day to make up for it.

Thanks for the shout out! The Tumblr also lists events for the entire month if you want to plan ahead. If you are curious about venue details you can use the venue page on there too.

He was offered $133 million guaranteed but the total was $250 million. That total was more than any other player and the guaranteed put him at the third highest guarantee ever given.
Hard to look at this and not see greed, IMO.
I'm all for players fighting to get good deals but when you put a whole team and city in limbo over it it leaves a bad taste in a lot of fans mouths, myself included. I'd love for Lamar to play here since he is one of the most exciting players in the league but I don't want it to cost the team any chance at getting other players and I'm already annoyed it hasn't worked out for 2 years.

First, you have to consider the info about negotiations have only come from the Raven's side and of course paints it as they have done everything to give Lamar the best deal possible and he's not budging. Not hard to imagine but one thing to consider. Once Lamar saw last year that DeShaun Watson signed a $230M guaranteed deal, Russell Wilson a $165M guaranteed deal and Matt Stafford a $130M guaranteed deal, he ofcourse would/should get a similar deal. Carr signed recently to $100M guarantee and Daniel Jones to $82M guarantee and those are worst qb's.

Ahh I strongly dislike pretentious people. I’ve heard Boston is like that, and I’m definitely not into it. Thanks for the info!

I am not intending to live on campus. I’m not a huge fan of the suburbs, and both schools seem to be in them.

We were visiting Philly a few years ago, and immediately tied into this fantastic little cafe called Function in South Philly. When they found out we were visiting from Baltimore, they were sure to mention that all their baristas had trained at Ceremony.

You’re half right. Don’t think I’ve ever seen anything extreme, or even notably biased, from NPR.
