    Seems like a really boneheaded investment. Jewelry, from a guy named Vahid Moradi, 8.2 million dollar diamond rings. No appraisals done. What could go wrong?

    I bet Mrs. Brees doesn't have any regrets, anyway. All she had to do was convince her husband it was an investment.

    I wonder seriously if Brees has CTE.

    Over the last 50 years, there are few investments as risk free with such a big return as diamonds, gold, and Rolex watches.

    Now dealing with "a friend", can always be "risky", just ask Ty Dettmer

    He was invited and turned it down. Guess Jerry and company will have to create a show with no crotch grabbing.

    I predict this will be an unmitigated disaster.

    Prodigal,

    Jerry Jones was a big proponent of this. It gives everyone extra time to go to his concession stands during the games to purchase his overpriced, under-quality food. Probably will also reduce the number of games each day by one because of the delays.

    I realize I live a sheltered life, but I had never really given any thought to multiple Ivy League schools participating in one of these camps.

    Although it was a Princeton guy, who on T-day 1994, got his first NFL start at age 28 and led the Cowboys to the most points they had ever scored in a half (36), and closed the game on a 39-14 run to defeat Brett Favre, Reggie White and the Packers 42-31.

    Prior to the game he did get a pep talk from his wife, also a Princeton grad, "run that play where Irvin and Harper run way down field and throw the ball to them". He did. And they caught them.

    His name was Jason Garrett.

    Since 1974, McDonald's stock (with stock splits and dividend reinvestment), has had a 2,167% ROI.

    I don’t have the numbers but Apple stock performance has been impressive since I bought in 2006. Wish I could have grabbed a lot more ... hindsight though
