Damn, missed it.

You're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a prize, behind the others, nothing. You pick door No. 1 The game show host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens door No. 3, which of course has nothing behind it. He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice to door No.2? Explain why or why not.

But of the 5 that have reached "2nd contract" point it's 3/5 that have not made it.

This is so embarrassing. Right up there with your “I can’t believe how awful people are for dunking on me” post-election whining. It’s got nothing to do with “speech you disagree with”. The guy is an unfunny, insufferably smug douche. You may know someone personally that fits that description. Nobody outside of Schiff, Warren, and you will lament his departure.

I bet you’re fun at parties!

Now, the rovin' gambler, he was very bored Tryin' to create a next world war He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor He said, "I never engaged in this kind of thing before But yes, I think it can be very easily done" "We'll just put some bleachers out in the sun And have it on Highway 61"

Yet Faulk overshadows Thomas (as a pass catching back) because of his SB win with the Rams and then being on TV for over a decade

You guys are right that it isn't just Thurman. Lots of other great backs, like you mentioned, get overlooked/not talked about much too. I was a huge Earl Campbell fan as a kid. Didn't root for Marcus Allen as much because of the teams he played for, but loved watching him play. Dickerson definitely doesn't get talked about enough anymore. Billy Simms is a guy that I even forget about, but he was a stud (again, shortish career). And what could have been if Bo didn't get injured. The guy only played 38 games over four seasons and is still every bit the legend for those who watched him play (pure specimen). So, many great backs over the years, without even mentioning the normal guys brought up in GOAT conversations (Brown, Simpson, Sanders, Payton, Smith, etc.), or even the players from older generations. I guess to a certain extent, all glory eventually fades. And good point by skibum about Faulk, LT, and James coming right on the heels of Thurman, which probably took away a bit of his shine because they were great all-purpose backs too. So, maybe Thurm's skills didn't look quite as unique as they did earlier in his career (not that Thurm was the first either in that regard, with guys like Marcus Allen and even Roger Craig before him). And obviously the Super Bowl performances (lack of a SB win) weighs in too. Guess I was just a bit hyped watching old Thurman highlights and thinking about that great stretch that he had (averaging 1,919 scrimmage yards per season over a 5-year period). [And obviously the fact that he played for the Bills probably adds a little "thumb on the scale" increase/bias for me.]

Glad they took my advice

Good. It wasn't funny. As a Colbert Report fan I was sad to see it cancelled. I watched a couple of episodes of the new show figuring it would probably be good. It wasn't. Too much lefty politics and too little humor. Bring back The Colbert Report.

Don’t forget about Epstein!!!!

Douglas played the run and even screen games like an alpha at times, okay. But how was his coverage? You know, against WRs? Without looking, I feel reasonably confident Rasul Douglas played no better than the Levi Wallaces and Dane Jacksons before him. **tugs at collar remembering that Dane Jackson and Tre White are competing to be Douglas' veteran replacement.

He saw it coming. The NFL and NBA have been absolutely ruined by over whistling. Whistles for things that have nothing to with the ball, a score, a gain.. We’ve become too accustomed to it. It’s insane. Obviously, NBA is way worse. Wild West over there with their enforcement/non-enforcement of rules.

Congrats, Colonel!

Sanders' contract is 94.63% guaranteed. Yes. Coleman's contract is 95.69% guaranteed. Coleman was drafted 33rd overall... Sanders 41st.

Lamar is a playoff choker 100%

I side with the players, not the billionaires.. Congrats Mr. Sanders!!

I swear I’m not Insurrection Barbie When Barack Obama ascended to power in 2008, he promised to unite America. But behind the charisma and soaring rhetoric was a calculated project to move the Democratic Party sharply to the left, not only in policy, but in how truth, loyalty, and dissent were managed. With strategic minds like David Axelrod and Ben Rhodes, Obama’s inner circle weaponized media, cultural institutions, and emotion to create what Rhodes openly called an echo chamber, a self-reinforcing permission structure that conditioned what people believed was acceptable to think. This wasn't persuasion through logic. It was manipulation through emotion. Rhodes and Axelrod understood a core truth about human nature: emotion moves faster than logic……

Top 20 all time day on X.

Pointless unless you have no shame... Found one.

You saw the homeless guy play football???!!?!?

I met Coach Levy a couple of times. No mortal has the ability to look into and understand every corner of another person's soul... but there's zero doubt in my mind (or really, anyone else's) that Marv is a very fine person of great character.
