Excuse me whilst I get back to my Krakauer reading list.

And with 15 draft picks, plus the yet to be announced KC trade picks for Alex, the 49ers are building for the long term! Just look at what they are getting for PSL's and the new stadium!

Thanks. That seems weird to me that you can get there for free via google but not from their own site. Oversight/loophole or intentional or....

That's too bad. If you don't drink, when you wake up in the morning, that's as good as your going to feel the rest of the day.

Edit: OK.....how is it I got to that article via a google search for free but posting the link to it takes you to a statement saying you need a subscription?
Edit Edit: Thanks georgetg. Link fixed.
There's some very interesting dyamics shaping up in Europe and Asia relative to who has a lot of gold and who doesn't, coupled with who is collapsing harder than the others. For example, Italy has a lot of gold relative to the size of their economy, and they don't want to part with it. But they owe more than can ever be repayed and have no interest in fiscal responsibiity and expect other nations to pay for their internal insanity. Germany also has a lot of gold and an isolated balance sheet that is among the best in the region...but are on the hook to bail out debt addict nations like..Italy. China and Russia are also going nuts buying gold. We think of China as this big bad super power that owns everyone, but they are a massive debtor as well and their sell collapsing stimulus far exceeds ours, which is saying something.

Well that was potentially interesting. Maybe?

Also, when (not if) JB votes in ALPA late in the 4th quarter with no time outs remaining just to get the internal merger policy, even that stratedgy might not be on the table.
How do you figure? Jeremiah Weed Holding Company takes over JB operations... DALPA and DAL (via constructive engagement) determine an SLI and course of action... and viola... take it or leave it. Turn it down, and you'd better update your resume.

I am not advocating this, nor would DALPA really undertake this kind of shenanigans.. I am just saying that the blueprint exists.

You might be right about the ALPA vote-in however. THAT would be verry interesting......
