Editor’s note — sorry for the late publish!

Live from Delaware, it’s Saturday Night! I, NAS204PSU, am here at BTSC to bring you this Saturday Night Open Thread (aka SNOT).

Nothing is certain but death, taxes…and 9-7? April 15 is the tax deadline in the US, and so make sure you’ve given Uncle Sam his due.

This 5 pack of questions is here to get the conversation going, so let us know what you’re eating/drinking!

1. Blkgldtom wants to know what Herbig is worth after Fox Sports suggested a rade with the 49ers. I’m defining a “TJ tax” as keeping TJ and his huge contract keeps Herbig off the field. Therefore, we’d be better off getting something for Herbig since his playing time will be limited. You OK trading a budding star in Herbig since we’ve already paid TJ to the max?

2. Jarrett Bailey asked who your fav non-HoF Steeler was. A few names seemed to repeat: LC Greenwood, Levon Kirkland, Hines Ward, James Harrison, etc. Let’s just say we could make LC Greenwood a HoFer (right the wrongs so to speak). Who is the next guy  after LC you’d want in the HoF?

3. The DOJ is investigating anti-trust allegations against the NFL TV deals. What would be the best outcome of this in your opinion?

4. What’s your best tax-tips, little known deductions, etc?  Or, for non-US, how do taxes work in your country?
