Until some years ago... It was. Now I think my English is better than my Basque.
Your English is good. Don’t let anyone tell you different. It’s a living language that changes like any other living language. Understanding is all that matters.
Off topic alert, but one of the most interesting classes l ever took at school was the history of the English language.
Way back when, like BC, England was run by the Celts. Then the Romans came and kicked their asses and took over. Then the Germanic tribes came and kicked the Romans’ asses and took over. Then the French Normans came over and kicked asses snd took over. And then the Anglo Saxons kicked their asses and took over.
I might have the order mixed up, and may have left some conquests out, but basically England was occupied by people of varying cultural backgrounds for hundred plus year stretches at a time within the last 2000 years, and modern day English has become a bastardization of Latin, German, French and Greek, plus over 1000 years of tweaking since then.
Once you conquer a country, there’s nothing left to do other that live and breed, so intermingling of people and languages happens.
That’s why the smart kids in the spelling bee ask the origin of the word. Because it matters in spelling and pronunciation.
Whereas Spanish is basically a direct descendent of Latin. Easier to learn. Vowels for the most part consistently sound the same way.
Also, l like Saleh. He’s my dude. Team Saleh!

Thanks a lot. I wrote "corncern" and then corrected it and I decided to make a joke with it.

Wrong. If you're going to go back in the British history as far as BC, I'll do the same with Spain.
We had Celts in the north and other tribes in the south, we had Basques for example which to this day no one knows where do they come from. Later we had a mix of tribes until Rome conquered it, but we had some influx by Phoenicia and Cartago (descendant of phoenicians) too.
Spain has always had a lot of trading in the Mediterranean, which until Portuguese explorers opened paths to Eastern Asia and Spain to America was the place where most goods, culture, knowledge and guess what, languages where traded.
The peninsula was invaded by the Visigoths (german tribe) , ruled for some hundred years to later be invaded by the Muslims, with a whole other language and culture.
I would even dare to say that Spain's language is richer, as it has influx of german, latin, and arabic languages.
Easier to learn. Vowels for the most part consistently sound the same way.
True that. If you want to speak, we have only 5 vowels, you speak what you write (no muted consonants, an I is an I and always sounds the same).
Easier? I wouldn't say so. English is said to be the easiest language to learn, and for some obvious reason: Grammar. It is very simple and you almost don't need to conjugate verbs. I prefer struggling with pronounciation and spelling than with being comprehensible. I wouldn't like to be in the skin of someone who has to go from "am/is/are/was/were" to "soy, eres, es, somos, sois, son." And I only conjugated the Present Tense. We have 15 more tenses. Enjoy trying to speak proper Spanish, lol.

That's where I'd get totally lost now Nero- future perfect tense and all that stuff......
So, you are saying, essentially, that you said "Asta La Vista Baby" to your Spanish?
By the way.....some of the "exiled Celtic/Britons" from the Saxon invasion also made their way to Spain....to Galicia
Not on purpose Gipper, just wasn't anyone around to converse with..... And I didn't deliberately go around trying to dig up Spanish literature. And I do remember a little more than Hasta la vista and buenos dias.

I've been hearing a lot about how good Stefanski would be for our team. He makes a lot of sense the more I learn about him. For instance, I just heard that Baker had a QB rating over 100 on play-action passes, and under 70 on everything else. Guess who else does really well with play-action passes? Kirk Cousins, and ever since Stefanski got to be OC, the offense has been cooking.

My take: Jimmuh stated that he wanted someone with HC experience ( I think he did, right?).
I think he's wanted The Visor (McDaniels) for a long time. He wants some of that Patriot magic. McDaniels has been part of that magic. DePodesta could stand on a stack of bibles and analytic reports, jump up and down and say Stefanski all he wants (or anyone else for that matter)......won't matter.
...of course I was quite wrong when I was sure that the Giants were going to give McDaniels anything he wanted to coach in NY.....so.......

I'm sorry, but IS THIS STILL 'MERICA?
We speak one language round these parts, and it is 'MERICAN.
You sissy boys talkin' about other people and cultures like there's any other places in the world worth a shit like 'MERICA. There ain't.
'MERICA, FUCK YEAH!

That could make for a good offensive coordinator.
But we need to stop being so myopic regarding what we want in a head coach.
We need someone who can properly run an entire team, not one who can design plays.

I suppose that anal-ytics will allow us to come up with something for anyone to make them look good. I am not disparaging your stats, I am just saying that we could drown ourselves in this kind of analysis if we wanted to.
Of course, maybe, just maybe, this is the sort of thing that Depodesta relies on and acts on.

Why didnt Kubiak get an interview? Is he not interested in a head coaching position because he is obviously the best coach out there.
With that said Schwartz is easily my 2nd favorite candidate. I really dont care for the list of guys we brought in for interviews
If your lucky enough to be given a heartbeat? Being Blessed is what you make of it... moving on
Why didnt Kubiak get an interview? Is he not interested in a head coaching position because he is obviously the best coach out there.
If any team knows Kubiak's future plans? It should be Our Odd Squad hiring crew... IF* they ask the right questions? Coaching staff Candidates? The Squad should have Kubiak surrounded?
1)We were the only team to interview Saleh..Kub gave him his first real chance at Houston..
2) Stefanski works with the guy side by side.. this from camp https://vikings.com/news/kubiak-enjoying-different-role-with-vikings-impressed-by-stefanski-cousins
A) Gary's health conditions was Migraines missing time at coaching in Denver.. imho, Gary & Family are just as happy with Gary, coaching with his Son, who is a asst. OL coach at Vikings..
I got to hope somewhere in 2 seperate interviews, Kubiak's name was tossed around.. per link, Even Kub speaks highly of Stefanski ...

Well that could be a genuine point. If that's the case, we might be taking a pretty serious look at Schwartz, who is known as an analytics guy and no-nonsense.

Keven Stefanski confirmed as interviewed today in Minnesota..Updated post #2 as 7th candidate interviewed..Listening to a Vikings play by play Radio guy from today. It sounded like the Vikings final prep was done by 1PM today, for a fly to Bay on Friday... Only leaves #8. Josh McDaniels as a Friday interview. MKC source, confirms he's coming. No More interviewee's Scheduled... Good Luck to all involved ?

And that's part of the problem Dutch. Too many Americans think their shit don't stink.
It all goes in cycles- Rome, British Empire... Nah- that would never happen to America.

McDaniels interviews tomorrow. He brings a winning tradition & a knowledge of how a successful franchise is run...IF he pushes the issue & IF the Haslams would listen, learn, & change accordingly, that could be a great thing.
To this point, my favorite is Saleh.....we'll see what happens.
No matter how things end up, I'm still (as always) a Browns' Fan.

Schwartz is a little more 'old school'. - experienced
Dabol is supposedly a yeller. He'll give you the ol' yell at. - Experienced coordinator
Stefanski, supposedly not the yeller type. - not so experienced
Saleh - not so experienced
Bienemy - not so experienced
Roman - Experienced coordinator
McDaniels - experienced - been part of the Patriots magic - traded up to draft Tim Tebow in round 1 (that's gotta be one of the dumbest things I've ever seen done - would fit right in with our 21st century Browns)
---------------- Roman, perhaps?
