Weird how people lie about easily verifiable information. Hey, but I guess it worked for years, right up through his nomination.

As we all know, the backlash against DEI has never truly been about competence - it's always been about race. Nominees like this make that fact unmistakably clear

Well, yeah, but that doesn't show what you think it does. Yeah, the Pats won 11 that year. And 16 the year before. Five less games under Cassel. Brady did get hurt. But the Pats also played a historically easy schedule that year under Cassel. Our division was up against the easiest slates ever, including our own division, as the Bills and Jets who were awful. So easy that the Fins, who had gone 1-15 the year before won 11 games that year and the next year went back down to 7-9. Yes, just a day or two ago.

What this post tells me is that Josh would be a top 10 QB with just his throwing abilities. Tua is top 10, when healthy, and Josh is his equal even if we lop off all of the Josh runs.

Suggestions for an 'image makeover': 1. In depth human interest interview with Maddy Glab. 2. Stop wearing shoes on the way to practice and games. 3. Try out for the Knicks. We haven't had a two sport star since Jordan or Jackson. (Don't you dare mention Tom Brady! 🤨)

I think it could be appealing to the NHL in that it is a sports town with no NBA competition locally. The arena was new but that was almost 20 years ago and I would think a new owner would want to/need to put some money into it. The district by the arena is cool. It all kind of rides on having an owner there though who wants to spend that kind of money on an NHL team. Cities don't buy teams and the NHL doesn't give them away.

Even though he was a D1 bench player and took Izzo’s advice to focus on football, he’s still an athletic specimen with basketball skills, so in a game where defense isn’t a thing and other players his size aren’t moving like him, it’s no surprise he scored 60 (or 70 as I’ve seen in another report).

With the way they support the Chiefs I figured hockey might do well there. It seems like a good sports town. It's definitely a great sports town when it comes to football.

That said, the ability to execute McD scheme being favored (heavily?) over athletic talent leads to upper echelon regular season defenses that break down as individual positions fail for being physically overmatched by playoff caliber opposition. Counter to that of course is Tremaine Edmunds. It's a fine line to walk but after SO many years of the defense getting walked every playoff most folks are receptive to taking a flyer on lower-floor higher-ceiling athletes being put in a position to let their talent make those plays they havent been making. Which sounds vaguely Eaglish.

Maybe not. Iran's chief customer is China. Disrupt oil supplies through the Gulf and you really screw one of your few allies. Further, screwing with the Strait of Hormuz has not worked well for them and guarantees US involvement immediately, which they clearly don't desire. There's plenty of supply, and Saudi Arabia and OPEC would be more than willing to boost production. As well, oil is Iran's near only money making export, so they'd be hurting themselves. The IRGC made a fortune smuggling oil during sanctions. On the underground stuff, I don't think Israel has the ability to destroy those from the air, but I expect that with the absolute shocking display on intel capability inside Iran on the ground, they may be able to have a significant impact via espionage. Different subject, but it is pure idiocy to suggest that the Sect. of Defense is in any way responsible for a towing mishap when the Truman executed an extremely aggressive turn while the process was underway, and the other one didn't "fall off," it was an arrested landing mishap, probably a wire failure from the ship, or a hook failure on the Hornet. You think they're stalling? My guess is they have no leadership left and don't even know who is dead yet.

Nah. That's silly. Objectivity has nothing to do with it. It's guesswork. And pessimistic guesswork at that. The statisticians and analysts have said that a great QB is worth roughly five games beyond replacement value, much higher than a great player at any other position.

I've been saying that we forget how well Americans live. 7-11 manager? Guy who transports bodies from nursing homes to the morgue? $520,000 home on 11 acres in exurban Mpls. I suspect the house of cards - marriage (guy with multiple failed careers), debt, no prospects - finally went over the edge.

When I lived in KC, I got absolutely zero impression they desired an NHL team or even cared about the sport. Yes it was a while ago, but I watched the '99 Finals at a popular sports bar on a tiny tv in the corner with no sound. There was not a single other patron in the bar observing the game.

Maybe being not so riled up in the AM will help. For me it's to bed at 12 or 12:30,up around 4-5 to pee (depending how much I had to drink (non alcoholic) the night before), and then up at 8-8:30 unless I have an early Dr. appointment. Take a nap on average twice a week. Usually nice restful sleep.

I'd take that depending upon how you see Palmer, Moore, and Samuel

I would say no. 'Bout the same. The fact we have different guesses shows what? Is evidence of what?

People laugh, but this is extremely sad. AB’s mental health is deteriorating in front of our very eyes in real time. It was only a matter of time before he completely destroyed his life. Thankfully he didn’t kill someone or even multiple people. Never a good look for the NFL anytime CTE hits the news, but is a very real topic of discussion. I seriously pray for this guy. It’s only going to get worse. I was expecting a Jovan Belcher situation.

Everything is fine.

Any MLB looks better if the players around him are assignment-sound

We disagree about this part but we'll see.

Decline is a choice.
