A one-year extension of the ACA premium support credits would cost about $30 billion. Argentina is costing $20 billion. Well?

I know he's facing a backup QB...

But if Baker Mayfield wins without Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, *and* Emeka Egbuka, crown him.

Baker Mayfield: I've stayed myself, narrative changes when you play well

Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield has generated buzz as an MVP candidate through the first five weeks of the season, which is a far cry from where his career appeared to be headed before he joined...

Cincinnati and Cleveland are going to have to trade a lot more than one aging QB to make a single winning team. They should just merge their personnel, cut the fat, and move the united team to Toledo.
