Commanders bringing back their Super Bowl era throwbacks
Gregg replied to Gregg's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yes, I do but the Commanders made this announcement not me. The jerseys and pants are from the Redskins days. They should bring back the logo, but we know why they won't. -

Do you see how that makes zero sense? -
We can all kid but it’s really interesting to see the route taken to assemble this O Line. For example, both of our starting Tackles came out of small schools and Dawkins was listed as a Guard. (Something I’d forgotten.)

Agreed. I'm not seeing it. Looks like false advertising to me. Might even fall under the category of Bait-and-switch. -

The Redskins look without the logo on the helmet. -

Could you imagine how many DUI's cops could get if they waited outside the stadium after a football game. Think of all the fans leaving a Bills game. They may not be completely bombed but legally there are probably thousands that are over the limit when they leave the stadium -

Just go back to the old name and logo. -
Who Are Your Sleepers For This Year??
corta765 replied to Victory Formation's topic in The Stadium Wall
Agreed. I still think his contract is too high for the production given, but he is very integral to the offense. -

So much for the National Weather Service

He lowered IQ and physical standards. He made hiring based on DEI a priority: Let us begin plainly. Chief Joel Baker was not hired because he was the best firefighter. He was hired because Austin, reeling from a fire department engulfed in scandal, needed a symbol. In the year prior to his 2018 appointment, the Austin Fire Department was under state, local, and federal investigation for alleged violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, including claims of both racial and sexual discrimination and harassment. Multiple lawsuits and sharp criticism from across the political spectrum made one thing clear: the city needed an identity hire to stem the bleeding. Baker, a black man with leadership experience, fit the profile. Since taking the post in December 2018, Baker has made it his mission to recruit based on race, sex, and sexual identity. He has said so proudly and publicly. Programs like "Pass the Torch," which deliberately prioritize nonwhite, nonmale, and nonheterosexual applicants, are the centerpiece of his administration. The result? A fire department that is more diverse, but less competent. The traditional qualifications for a firefighter, strength, stamina, intelligence, rapid decision-making under pressure, have not changed. But the standards have. In response to the predictable failure of his preferred demographics to meet existing thresholds, Baker simply changed the thresholds. He launched investigations into why minority applicants were underperforming. The answer was as predictable as the question: the tests were too hard. So Baker made them easier. Lowered the IQ bar. Softened physical expectations. All to ensure that more boxes could be checked on quarterly DEI reports. The irony is brutal. The very teams Chief Baker refused to deploy, the Swift Water rescue units, are disproportionately composed of white men. They represent the last meritocratic redoubt within the Austin Fire Department. Many have years of experience and have saved hundreds of lives. But Baker did not build them. He has not promoted them. In fact, he has worked to marginalize them in favor of his DEI vision. So when Governor Abbott issued the request for pre-deployment on July 2nd and 3rd, before the floodwaters peaked, Baker balked. But the story is larger than one man’s failure. It is about the machinery that elevated him in the first place, a bureaucracy more concerned with appearances than outcomes. DEI, diversity, equity, inclusion, sounds benign. In practice, it has become a license to discriminate against the competent and elevate the compliant. Consider the broader pattern. In 2021, local media reported that nearly 75% of cadet interest cards came from "diversity targets," a term that flattens human individuality into demographic quotas. African American interest increased 10%, Hispanic interest 21%, while traditional candidate pools shrank. Recruitment staff, under Baker’s orders, reoriented outreach toward these demographics, often to the exclusion of others. Qualified white male applicants were not merely overlooked; they were openly discouraged. Promotion boards began emphasizing identity over service record. -

Thank you for considering my feelings but you are misreading the situation. I think we can attribute that to your recent emotional state. Since you seem confused here’s what I was referring to - you told someone they are not smart and immediately followed it up with a grammatical error. An innocent mistake but fun and Tiberius-like nevertheless. -
Haha, your avatar checks out! Today is my wife's birthday and the anniversary of their last show ever...oh wow, 30 years right?!

Very cool and normal stuff, Elon!

Sorry I hurt your feelings. I googled the five things I’m supposed to do when I hurt someone’s tender feelings. I can do some of them if you want. Or maybe you’d like a comfort stuffy instead. Whatever works for you is cool with me. -
You’ve been a frequent user of “tranny/trannies”. I guess “bio male” shows some sort of growth on your part. Kudos.

Love this sort of post. It’s normally Tiberius that treats us to such. Good work on your part -
