"FALSE. The Department of Homeland Security DID NOT target the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts & Culture. On July 8, HSI Chicago's Financial Crimes Task Force (FCTF) staged and held a quick briefing in the Museum's parking lot in advance of an enforcement action related to a narcotics investigation." https://abc7chicago.com/amp/post/ice-chicago-puerto-rican-museum-staff-says-homeland-security-surveyed-area-ahead-barrio-arts-fest-humboldt-park/17036923/ So, maybe not? Sounds like people are looking for the boogeyman.

Mahomes was never a body guy and looks like the same to me.

Talent and let's not forget the new coaching we brought in. To my amateur eye, it looks like McBeane identified they want more talent on D, more production from the D line, they may want to play more man-doed this mean more aggression, and brought in outside eyes with experience in these areas. I think it's an area they wanted to improve and the moves they made are logical to achieve that improvement

It’s just racism. No doubt in my mind.

The pushback is working. ICE morale is way down. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2025/07/trump-ice-morale-immigration/683477/ Keep it up. We need to ostracize these agents and shame them away from society.

Very fine people ICE is arresting. But the racism angle is wearing thin. Even with "brown" people that support removing criminal illegals. Why don't you meet up with these outstanding young men for margaritas in Omaha? https://nypost.com/2025/07/10/us-news/violent-ms-13-kingpin-wanted-for-five-murders-and-another-gang-member-arrested-by-ice-in-omaha/

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Incredible stuff.

Our Defense was pretty meh, at best, last year. I’m as frustrated as anyone that, regardless of roster, they become made of glass in the playoffs and get smoked by whatever iteration of the Chiefs Offense we have to see in the Playoffs year to year … but I won’t try to glean too much off what they did to get by last year. That same defense managed to get us by the best team in our conference with the Offense playing ball control in the Divisional Round. Now this year, with the new coaches they brought in, likely infusion of a 1st Round CB and second year 2nd Round Safety and Ryan Nielsen working with a far more talented DL group, I expect to see a different caliber of Defense.. one that causes havoc and manages to get off the field without needing turnovers to do so, allowing them to play a bit differently.

Yes, I am hoping with the defensive influx of talent, that a more aggressive mix it up approach will be used. More line stunts, more disguised blitzes. Etc. playing nickel D so much, does limit what you can do - with so many DBs on the field though.

1984-1985 was rough. How could you have any interest in Joe Dufek and Vince Ferragamo? All this while Kelly was in Houston. Those were the two darkest years in franchise history.

I'll do my part... .....until it's deleted.

August 9th was actually the day ol' Jer left his body. Interestingly enough, he was born on August 1st, leading Deadheads to call the period from August 1st to August 9th "The Days Between" (after a Grateful Dead song) and celebrate his life the entire week. But to be honest...most Deadheads celebrate his life just about every day by listening to his music. I don't know that I can think of a single person who has impacted my life in such a singular and positive way, or who adds to it on a day-to-day basis as much as Jerry Garcia. The Grateful Dead is the soundtrack of my life, and in their thirty years of recorded live music (just about every show they EVER played is available to listen to in its entirety for free online!), they left an infinite treasure hunt of amazing improvised music and living spirit. No two shows the same, no song ever played the same way twice. As Jerry himself once said about The Dead: "'We're like licorice. Not everybody likes licorice, but the people who like licorice really like licorice". Yeah. That. I'll be in Golden Gate Park on August 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for three consecutive Dead and Company shows, celebrating 60 years of Grateful Dead. To answer your question, @Bad Things : The only place I see online to buy the Truckin Up to Buffalo CD is Ebay. They have it for about $30. You can buy the DVD on Amazon. I've listened to the show and watched the DVD. It's a good one! And since I'm here and have already typed too many words anyway...here's maybe my favorite picture of Jerry:

You have every right to have frustration because we have seen this burn us before.

Groot-9 Bosa-6 AJE-6 Solomon-2 Jackson-1.5 Total 24.5 I think ideally you want Groot at 10/11, Bosa to get 7-8 and Solomon or Jackson to have 3-4. I think Hoecht should also push 3-5.

I never lost interest, There were years I sadly accepted that they sucked. Fan since their inception. Even their horrible years they were a constant source of discussion with my family. Many years of disappointment but never lost interest.

I'll.have to re watch the game, because I just looked up the box score and they put up 28 in the second half. 7 in the third and 21 in the 4th Thanks I edited the halftime score in my OP. The audio between Goff and Johnson may have been at that point in the third then. Cause they showed the score right after that conversation if memory serves. I agree, they were the best team in the league at that point. We did win, and the results do say we played it right. Maybe it's a case of frustration, or arm chair coaching on my part. I get the idea, make them burn clock, hope our offense does the same and play it safe. If we look at the ravens game in the playoffs, that one got a lot closer than it should have as well. Maybe there is a happy medium here as the shell coverage has its place, but maybe a little more aggression could help us avoid any problematic comebacks. I think it's worth a discussion. Especially in the dog days of July

Just kidding man!

Still waiting for Rousseau to become elite. He has it in him, 3 sacks in the season opener but now would be a great time to show it not only regular season but the playoffs as well.

We were only up 21-14 at the half; the Bills didn't go up 35-14 til very late in the 3rd. The Lions didn't even score in the 2nd half until near the very end of the 3rd qrtr on a fluky tipped-ball 60+yrd TD on 3rd/20ish. From that point on they never got within one score of the Bills until the last play of the game because the Bills were forcing them to piece together 10-15 play drives for their points. They played it just right for a road win against what I think was the best team in the league at that point.

Based on the timeline, it doesn't look like going to class was one of those distractions. 😅

For many of the drought years I became disinterested by mid-season. I watched most, if not all, of the games, but there were definitely times late in the season when all hope was lost that I would run errands and just check in on the game via the radio in the car.

Oh Henry agrees.
