Living in Ireland.... sooo jealous! Are you originally from there or an expat? How is it?

Most of them aren't based on initial polling. The ones here are part of The Cult. As Trump himself says, MAGA means what I say it means. I know best. Don't ask questions. Follow me to the Golden Age.

It would end up being an absurdly small reduction in price. Something like 359 for a one team and 379 for the entire ticket.

As I’ve explained to you 1,000 times, this is due to stigma and isolation stemming from being transgender and not accepted by society. The paper even acknowledges this: “Transgender individuals have a higher prevalence of depression across several age groups, often due to life experiences that include discrimination, harassment, violence, misgendering, and enacted stigma that may generate poor mental health outcomes and harmful behaviors [4,7,8]. It is widely accepted that depression puts an individual at higher risk for suicidal ideation and suicide attempts” The paper even says that banning gender-affirming surgery isn’t the solution, it’s providing more care after the surgery. “Their results reveal an improvement in patient well-being, with high satisfaction levels, reduced dysphoria, and persistent mental health benefits even decades after surgery.” You keep using this paper as some kind of gotcha when it’s obvious you haven’t read it.

The law of unintended consequences? Good luck with that. The vast majority of Americans are perfectly comfortable with “might makes right” imperialism. We’re simply too ignorant and arrogant to learn lessons from the past 80 years of failed interventionism. Most contemporary Americans can’t even distinguish between democratic socialism and authoritarian socialism, so it’s a safe bet that most Americans alive today would have supported the 1953 coup in Iran. It would have been efficaciously sold to us under the guise of ethical existentialism, as opposed to the blatant machinations of American and British fossil fuel oligarchs. Imperialism and Zionism go hand in hand, of course, so no surprise that this majority Christian nation can’t see Israel for the rogue pariah state it has become. Americans find comfort in a black-and-white view of the world because it assuages our delicate egos and our infantile preconceptions. We need to see “good guys” fighting “bad guys,” and we need to be the “good guys.” This is why we obstinately maintain so much trust in a nation actively committing genocide, stealing more Arab land, and refusing to sign the NPT. This is why we are unable to examine our own country’s mistakes in diplomacy from the perspective of Iran, which quite rationally desires the status of a North Korea over that of a present-day Libya. Still waiting for ANY evidence that Iran’s nuclear program posed an IMMINENT threat to Israel and the United States… OH MY GOD, Tibsy…you’ve been reading Ezra Klein’s “Abundance,” haven’t you?? I want to remain mindful of not hijacking the thread, so I’ll just make these two quick points: 1. Some regulations are bad, and some are good. Regulations that prevent ecosystem degradation and promote collective bargaining are most often among the latter category. 2. Be wary of anyone not willing to frame political arguments as the American people in opposition to corporate oligarchs. More specifically, be skeptical of anyone who is not vocally against Citizens United v. FEC (2010). << Kay throws her green MAFA** hat at Tibsy’s face >> ** - MAFA = Make America Forested Again (it’s a custom designed hat!)

Can you imagine if Obama or Biden did this?

As someone who was a season ticket holder during the Bills vs Browns 6 - 3 "hockey classic" in 2011, I think this is an idea whose time has come. https://www.espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/291011002/browns-bills I like that the fact that some teams are admitting they'll miss the playoffs before the season begins. Wager accordingly!

I read that the two mutually agreed he should choose football. There are a lot more Keon Colemans from a size and athletic standpoint in division 1 basketball than there are in division 1 football. Football was definitely a brighter future for him.

Ah yes, ‘leadership means the Constitution’ unless we're talking about denying people mail-in ballots, sabotaging public health, or cheering when red states ignored science and racked up the highest COVID mortality rates. Blue states had tighter rules and better survival. That’s called results, not authoritarianism. And about those BLM protests: people marched for racial justice, often masked, outside. Meanwhile, MAGA was throwing tantrums indoors at Costco over wearing a mask. You want to talk about Easter 2020? Trump floated ‘opening by Easter’ while bodies were still piling up in NYC. That wasn’t leadership that was magical thinking. And as for your ‘Chinese ballots’ fever dream? Maybe sit this one out until you’ve got receipts and not talking points.

He asked him to commit full time to basketball. Coleman picked football. That was the point. Izzo saw the talent and had Coleman make the choice to concentrate on football or basketball. Mo Allie Cox played basketball at VCU not football. UDFA without football experience.

There is no reason, thats not financial, that would incentivize the team to do this. Are they re-selling the tickets for more themselves LOL? Or partnering with stubhub to pass it off to them, where they'll mark it up and kick the Jets a percentage of the overage LOL Slimy feline behavior lol

Canadians, unlike the MAGA crowd, still believe in facts, decency, and basic humanity - wild, I know. And the irony? As if there aren’t LGBTQ people or family members within MAGA households who are struggling or even suicidal. But hey, keep pretending cruelty is strength.

Agreed Mr WEO, but I only live an hour from Dublin, so I'm very familiar with the place. I do treasure my 1pm Sunday kickoffs (6pm for me) and we don't have too many this year. But hopefully I'll get to watch it with a pint of Guinness somewhere after the Steelers game. Albeit i might miss the first quarter.

I’d prefer if you could buy just a ONE team package. I couldn’t care less who the Seahawks are playing.

Moe Alie-Cox is one. Specialization is player choice nowadays. It's pretty simple--if Izzo thought he could use Coleman, he would have developed him and encouraged him.

Yeah you still don’t get it. Those guys who are riding the bench aren’t good enough relative to their NBA peers, but they’re much more skilled basketball players than Moss ever was. Could Moss have focused on basketball and reinvented his game to be a perimeter player? There’s nothing that suggests he couldn’t have - other than his admission to being discouraged playing amongst legit high school basketball players - but Moss at his skill level coming out of high school wasn’t a future NBA prospect. You know this.

I find it interesting that neither Reggie McKenzie or Joe D are on the all time O Line roster.

Then we can have another congressional hearing where Sosa can't speak english and they ask for signatures

Purely marketing. First two sport athlete in the NFL and NASCAR. Pops Sanders is a genius!

Fair enough--not a starter, but could ride the bench for the Jazz or the Pelicans. The examples I gave show this. Supreme athlete who could play--there's a lot of guys down the bench in the NBA who never play simply because they aren't good enough. They are there to mop up in garbage time and run in practice. No teams are asking any of them to break guys down off the dribble, splash 3's or run the point. You know this.

I can go on about this subject... I do think the recent rules are an improvement: Clock, ghost runner (regular season only), bigger bases, Minimum batters for reliever, limiting pickoff moves, etc. I do like pitchers hitting, but I understand why that has been legislated out. I also wish we could go back to locked-in starting rotations with pitchers who regularly finish games, but I get the evolution. I HATE steroid ball. I stopped paying attention throughout the steroid era. I would much rather watch a crisp 2:40 game that ends in a 3-2 score. I think there is plenty of star-power in MLB without the roids (or at least detected): Ohtani, Tatis, Guerrero, Judge, Betts, Soto, Acuna, De La Cruz, etc. To me, baseball has cut off its legs a bit. All MiLB have capitulated into a purely developmental/scrimmage leagues. Furthermore, MLB has culled dozens of professional baseball teams out of communities across the United States. I think that is a big, long-term mistake. People across the country become baseball fans watching their local team compete. I remember "big" Bisons games and some intense moments, including huge brawls. Now, it looks like the players are practicing and don't want to be there. I used to be able to travel short distances with my dad and attend professional baseball games in Welland, Niagara Falls, St Catharines, Jamestown, Elmira, Batavia, and Geneva. Each ballp[ark had their regulars and actually decent crowds consuming baseball. All wiped out. I believe the economics of baseball are also getting to a breaking point. There has always been a history of the Cardinals and Yankees of the world spending, and the A's, Senators, Phillies (long ago), White Sox) developing and selling/losing players to the big spenders. But with a society who struggles with attention spans, you have like 75% of the markets who cannot retain their biggest stars into their prime. This is not good, and will be poison to future nostalgia for fans in many regions. IMO, the greatest thing that can happen, (I realize many things would need to be reset in the way of finances, contracts, CBA, etc), would be a full-on, 4 to 6 tier Promotion/Relegation system. Restore competitive baseball that means something to all corners of North America. Force teams to compete or be relegated. Allow a wealthy mogul in a market like Charlotte, Nashville, Indianapolis, or even Buffalo to make a splash and try to build to be promoted to the highest level.

That's how I felt about Jay Riemersma. He didn't have as long of a career as Metzelaars did, but he came on right as I was getting old enough to understand more of the game, and he seemed like he caught EVERYTHING. Years later, I looked up his stats & was shocked how "normal" they looked. In my young mind, he must've been a monster that averaged 800+ receiving yards each year, yet he only topped 500 yards once 😅

How about the Jets' exhibition game against the Crimson Tide? That's non-negotiable! (Take Alabama +3)
