Wow. . . . . . . . . . . . . . these democrats. Texas Democrats Are Holding a Sleepover Now John Sexton As expected, Texas Democrats returned home Monday, setting up the state to pass a redistricting plan that could result in several more GOP controlled seats after next year's election. Republicans promised to impose $7,000 in fines on each Democrat who fled ($500 per day) and also to bill them for the money spent trying to track them down. But Republicans also put in place one additional penalty. No Democrat would be allowed to leave the State House unless accompanied by a member of the Texas Department of Public Safety. The idea was to keep them from running away again. Most of the Democrats agreed and left with their assigned member of DPS but one Democrat decided it was time for another headline-grabbing stunt. State Rep. Nicole Collier of Fort Worth said in an interview Tuesday she would sleep on the House floor until Labor Day if she had to. Since Monday, Collier has entered a new existence, eating, sleeping and working from the locked chamber after refusing to acquiesce to Republican demands that Democrats agree to around-the-clock security escorts in order to be released from the building...

Dalton so skinny he gonna get his wish and wind gonna blow him in the air and he gonna float like a bird

Nice job of stating that peace talks are less important to you than scoring political points.

He was waived/injured. So it seems pretty likely he got injured and knew he was likely to be waived/injured. He'll likely go unclaimed and be brought back on IR, possibly get an injury settlement, but it's a huge barrier to him making a team this year

Social Security might be just fine if the parties can agree on this https://www.investopedia.com/two-senators-have-a-new-proposal-to-fix-social-security-11768951 I can understand your apprehension however, if you're paying in and they don't find a fix. This seems a good idea.

By its very nature, really bad safety play is gonna result in longer and longer plays. I think the difference between very good and bad safety play is not as important as many other defensive positions. But horrendous safety play will actually kill you

Alaska Meeting Was a Start, But Putin Still Up to His Old Tricks — and Trump Knows It Douglas Murray As the people of Ukraine know, neighborliness is not among Putin’s great qualities. Still, it was with a reference to the US and Russia being neighbors that Putin kicked off his conversation with President Trump in Alaska yesterday. On the red carpet at the airport he apparently said to Trump: “Good afternoon, dear neighbor. Very good to see you in good health and to see you alive.”' When relaying this at the joint press conference later on, the Russian president commented about his own earlier remarks: “I think that is very neighborly.” Of course the two leaders were only meeting because of Putin’s lack of neighborly qualities. https://nypost.com/2025/08/15/opinion/alaska-was-a-start-but-putin-is-still-up-to-his-old-tricks-and-trump-knows-it/

Josh pulling a Don Beebe on Buffalo Joe was funny

No mas, no mas By Bill Glahn On of the stories I’ve been following is the rise of right-wing (conservative, free-market, whatever you prefer) parties and governments across the world. From the U.K. Guardian, Bolivia’s presidential election will go to a runoff for the first time, with two rightwing candidates competing for the presidency – marking the end of nearly 20 years of dominance by the leftist Movimiento al Socialismo (Mas). The New York Times describes the leading candidate, Sen. Rodrigo Paz Pereira, 57, as a centrist. In any event, neither finalist is a leftist. Also contested in this election was the Bolivian legislature, both lower house and Senate, and the same anti-leftist trend held. The runoff election for president will be held on October 19. How big a deal was this? The Guardian reports, Luis Arce, the deeply unpopular Mas president, chose not to seek re-election and instead put forward his interior minister, 36-year-old Eduardo del Castillo, who won just 3.16% of the vote. Adding, Some analysts described the shift to the right as being part of a broader “rightward turn” across South America, after the victories of Javier Milei in Argentina and Daniel Noboa in Ecuador. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2025/08/no-mas-no-mas.php

James Cook… speaks?!

Enjoying this episode much more so far

Joe Brady: “this is the biggest week of the preseason!” hoo boy

This is another amazing comment from a Democrat, makes an insinuation and then pretends differently. AR-15 is QB, Daniel Jones has had a one good year in the NFL, Richardson has had one good game.

I complained a bunch when they re-signed Hamlin because I think he is terrible and I feel like McDermott likes to stay in a comfort zone with guys. I was fearful having that dude around would tempt coach to go with ole reliable and that’s where this is probably headed. Hopefully, Bishop or someone steps up. The Simmons thing has been a no brainer for 2 years now, perhaps he wants too much. I am guessing McDermott is trying to light a fire with his public comments but that stuff is cheesy. Get the Bishop coached up…the mistakes he is making are fixable.

Now that was a Shot Across the Bow I believe McDermott said it's the hardest position to learn in his defense (I would have thought that would be MLB, but whatdoIknow)? Hardest to learn not the same as "most important"

OBAMA’S ‘OBSCENE MONUMENT TO HIS EGO’ DRAMATICALLY BACKFIRES AS $850M VANITY PROJECT SPARKS OUTRAGE: President Barack Obama’s promise to build and revitalize blighted neighborhoods was a centerpiece of his first term in the White House. But now, nearly nine years after he left the Oval Office, he might be destroying one critical area in the city he called home, the Daily Mail can reveal. His $850 million presidential center in Chicago – due to open in April – has come under fire from residents, community leaders and even onetime supporters who now warn that the massive 19.3-acre facility in Jackson Park is gentrifying the neighborhood, increasing rent and forcing families out. Alderwoman Jeanette Taylor, who represents much of the area where the center is being built, told the Daily Mail she is a fan of Obama and believes in the project but has fought aspects of it to protect her constituents. Her efforts have had mixed results. ‘We’re going to see rents go higher and we’re going to see families displaced,’ she told the Daily Mail. ‘Every time large development comes to communities, they displace the very people they say they want to improve it for,’ the Democrat added. ‘This was no different, and we’re living what is actually happening. The city of Chicago should have done a Community Benefits Agreement before the first shovel went into the ground, but they didn’t.’ A CBA is a legally binding document that outlines what a developer will provide for a project such as affordable housing, local hiring and environmental protections. C’mon — it’s a moment to a guy who said that merely winning the Democrats’ nomination to be president was “the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.” Surely you can trust his environmental intentions! In 2019, Jon Gabriel described the library as looking like “A discarded Chinese take-out box. The backside of a Star Wars sand crawler. The Washington Monument with the interesting bits lopped off. That’s what sprung to mind when confronted with the initial design of the Obama Presidential Center.” Over the past century, it’s a truism that the vast majority of modern architecture never looks as good when built as it does in model format. And the Obama Presidential Center was looking stillborn while still only styrene: https://archive.is/0fRUW

Spoiler alert....2nd game gets worse!

Yeah i was proud of Sean. He senses that complacency and guys reading their press clippings of how good they are. Too bad they came out against Chicago and did the exact opposite of attack. But let’s see the starters in week 1.

Is Ryan Stonehouse better than Brad Robbins?

“Start being you”- I can dig it

No amount of money can change the facts.

Absolutely agree. Oh wow that speech was after the Giants game... Oh wow

Pretty good speech by mcd to open - definitely feels some guys being complacent

Luke Kuechly was the most important player in McDermott's Carolina defense. And no, there wasn't even a close 2nd there either.
