An update on the Seward Highway widening project between O'Mally Road to Dimond Boulevard.

Construction on this project has been pushed to at least 2027.

This additional time will be used to reevaluate the scope of the project and:

• Update traffic projections
• Coordinate timing with the AMATS Academy/Vanguard project
• Reexamine the Diverging Diamond Interchange to determine if it is the best fit for the O'Malley interchange

I call them "Slutbots"

I don't slut-shame my bots. They're just living their best file.

Anagrammed that for you.

Love's season was a lot closer to Stroud's than people want to think. I guess that's a product of fans falling in love with the shiny new toy on the upstart underdog team. Stroud is that, Love is not. His second half of the year, and into the postseason, was better than Stroud's.

I think Love is a fringe Top 10 guy.

Mahomes is currently in a category of his own.

Allen, Jackson, Burrow, Stroud and Herbert are in the next tier. Rodgers might be here also but he's old and coming off a major injury.

Tua, Goff, Lawrence, Stafford, Prescott, Hurts and Purdy are guys I'd take over Love right now but he could easily surpass any or all of them.

Would not take Cousins or Murray over Love at all.

This aligns pretty well with my list, except I'm taking Love over Tua, Purdy, Lawrence, Stafford, and Dak as well. (Wouldn't trash Cousins like that, he belongs with the above guys, but I wouldn't take him over Love either.) That puts the following guys in front of him:

- Mahomes
- Allen
- Burrow
- Lamar
- Stroud
- Herbert
- Hurts
- Goff (total 50/50)

Love over Rodgers should be a no-brainer at this point. Love had a better year last season - by a lot - than Rodgers did with the same team in 2022. Since then Rodgers tore his achilles and has not completed a pass in what will be over a year and a half.

To clarify my position, this isn't about drafting a dynasty fantasy football team. I'm not saying "which is the better QB to build my team around", which is a much different conversation than "who is the best QB now". I don't think there's any way you can say Love is a better QB than Rodgers. If you're down six with 3:00 left in the 4th quarter, there's no way you'd rather have Love than Rodgers (assuming he's healthy).

I'm also still holding judgement on Love's future career. He is nowhere near Mahomes' level and I doubt he will ever be a top 10 QB in the league.

Love is a top 10 QB right now . . .

Looks like we're back to this, eh?  I can think of, off the top of my head, 15 QBs that are better.

Mahomes
Lamar
Allen
Burrow
Stroud
Herbert
Rodgers
Cousins
Hurts
Goff
Lawrence
Prescott
Murray
Purdy
Tua

Cousins stats make him top 7-8. Look at the dropoff the Vikings had last year when he went down with an injury.

Either way, you still listed 13 better QBs than Love. That makes Love basically an average QB in the NFL, which is all I was saying. Despite me being a Vikings fan, I can appreciate that Love isn't bad, and is actually far better than I thought he'd be. Still, with that being said, he's not a great QB. By your numbers alone, he's barely an above average NFL QB.

If you were certain Love would be as good as he is now, but at the time of being drafted, he was 24 years old and Rodgers had just signed a 4-year, $100 million guaranteed deal, picking Love would be equally as idiotic. It's a waste of finite resources.

Strange women who you don't know who start following you on Twitter.

Psst.  They aren't real...

No joke, I've picked up dozens of them as followers and I'm too lazy to go in and block them all.

I have a particular antipathy to lonelyhearts scams, so I don't just block them--I report them as they come in.  It's been quite a while since the last one.

These aren't "lonelyhearts" scams. They're pornbots.

If I were a Falcons fan, I'd be pissed. Thankfully I think my Vikes had a good night.

Kirk continues to get completely shafted. I hate it.

Kirk Cousins gets overrated because he's historically replaced really bad quarterbacks and seemed like a savior by comparison. There's a reason two other teams moved on from him.

The Falcons' mistake of giving him such a huge contract in the first place shouldn't have been compounded by passing on a very high-ceiling talent like Penix. I've maintained all along that he's the 2nd best QB in this draft.
