  2. What in the word salad? Boomers complaining about the current state of affairs while also holding most of the weath in this country sure is rich.
  3. I am still curious to what he could have done in this offense with Josh and Brady
  4. Speaks volumes about the people in this organization. First class all the way
  5. Yep. DP LePew's no-longer-big-league ability and the joyless demeanor he brings with it runs contrary to the competitive, energized environment you want in the clubhouse during a marathon season. He doesn't deserve a roster spot based on ability and everyone knows it. From the top down. And that renders the competition aspect a sham. Even if it's largely an illusion, you have to make it seem like playing time is based on merit. He's been washed for 3 years now. Last year they literally fake-IR'd him in September because they knew they had to get their competitive edge back for the playoffs and it was hard to do with a worn out free loader on board. Every time they bring him back from the IL in May it's like replacing the gatorade with melatonin.
  6. yeah I don't watch TV as many Americans have better things to do with their time. Like me. I keep really busy. I think you are a good guy too but waaaay too MAGA bro.

Notre Dame Class of 1977 BS EE but brown Man BAD TCK
  7. You should start posting this word for word in other random threads and conclude each post with “Whoops - wrong thread!” Will cause pandemonium.
  8. I think they both have independent and honest versions in their minds of what happened, and they are not identical. This is tricky and messy stuff. I don’t think anyone thinks they are lying.
  9. The People’s Justice The leading intellectual on the Supreme Court, Justice Clarence Thomas, is also the people’s justice. Is that paradoxical? Not to me, it isn’t. We live under the rule of law, which means that we live under the rule of words. Words can, of course, be ambiguous, and applying them to a particular situation can be tricky. But any good-faith effort to apply the laws or the Constitution to a particular case must always begin with a common-sense understanding of the words in question: what they mean to a normal reader. When proponents of the Constitution argued for its adoption, as in the Federalist Papers, they did not say that delegates to state conventions should take it on faith; that it is too hard for a normal person to understand; that only a small priesthood of initiates could tell you what it really means. No: everyone assumed that the language of the Constitution was normal English, and it could be understood by ordinary persons of good intelligence. Again, that doesn’t mean that there could be no disagreement or room for debate, but rather that Americans of good intelligence could engage in those debates on an equal footing. Certainly no one at the time suggested that the words of the Constitution had some arcane meaning that would be “discovered,” and would take our government in a new direction, 100 or 200 years hence. I don’t suppose anyone would have voted to adopt the Constitution if it had been sold on that basis. This is why I have long thought that it would be a good idea to have one or two Supreme Court justices who are not lawyers. These days, most Supreme Court justices are members of a caste who likely have been aiming for a position on the Court since high school. Nothing wrong with that, perhaps, but it would be good to have one or two members of the Court whose experience is different–someone who spent his career in the business world, preferably. All of this is a preface to the following brief clip of Justice Thomas explaining his judicial philosophy as a “textualist.” My comment would be, as a judge, if you are not a textualist, what in the world are you? Thomas has of course expounded on his views many times in various forums, and this brief clip is only a glimpse into his thinking. But, in part because it is brief, I thought it was worth sharing with our readers: https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2025/07/the-peoples-justice.php
  10. it sure seems I'm under yours and his.. i think he's disingenuous. Prove me wrong. Show me the money!
  11. The problems started with LeMehieu and Stanton coming off IL. Totally wrecked the chemistry of the young team. Boone is too loyal to his OG players to see it.
  12. All the people bitching about Trump are the same ones that allowed their party to blatenly lie about everything and that lie ended up in kamala Harris. You essentially ***** yourselves for the next 7 ish years. You don't have a viable candidate who can realistically beat Vance. It's time to go look in the mirror and do some tough self evaluation. Cheers!
  13. The absolute state of the Democrat Party in 2025 In fairness, they can get the SSRI youth crowd with useless degrees to come out if they promise they can chant some form of “Death to Israel”
  14. It’s about as credible as an accusation can be without any concrete evidence. She did everything that could possibly have been done in the immediate aftermath, and she has continued to speak out about it for years since then. Doesn’t mean it happened, but this doesn’t sound like a money grab to me.
  15. hmmm. What is lost in all of this is why would owners care if large, guaranteed contracts are given out? They have a salary cap. If they fail like many do, it only hurts teams who signed them like the dumb Browns. Teams are free to do as they wish. With salary cap. It is in non-winning teams best interest that winning teams sign the big ticket "make a difference" players to huge, guaranteed contracts so it hampers their ability to put together a better roster.(and actually if they sign a bad player to a big guaranteed deal that is even better lol) Thereby giving the lesser teams a better chance to compete to acquire good players. (as a Bills fan i was rooting for Chiefs, Fish, Ravens, etc etc, to all sign their QB's to ridiculous large deals lol) I get in the short term when one of your players deserves the big raise big guaranteed deal, your team will now be in the same boat and have tough negotiations. But that's life. Then the lesser teams get the good players and the window for teams to be super bowl contenders will be shifted to other teams until your turn comes around again. Really how this should work so the same teams don't always win. edit: and i forgot that by giving out these huge, guaranteed deals it lowers the money available for veterans on that roster as the big, guaranteed contract takes up too much cap space. Teams then need to fill out roster with draftees, UDFA's, younger cheaper players thereby lowering veteran players income. NFL addressed this somewhat by exempting some of certain veterans' salaries against the cap.
  16. DeMaurice Smith was still running the NFLPA at that time. That guy was awful and did very little for the players. That’s what they get for leaving him in power.
