You are all those things, 🤣

Can we apply all this to any and all criticisms of Israel?

They also know when the tests are going to be if they have not previously tested positive and what the banned substances are. It can be managed so as not to get suspended which is what they do. Sometimes, they get something they were not expecting which leads to a positive result.

I didn’t realize CEOs suddenly became “stupid” the moment Trump started playing 4D chess with the global economy. The spike after COVID made sense: trillions in stimulus, 0% interest rates, and a one-way ticket to the asset bubble amusement park. But now? CEOs are watching a guy who thinks tariffs are a magic wand threaten to nuke supply chains, kneecap exports, and start trade wars with literally everyone. Confidence didn’t plunge because they forgot how inflation works. It plunged because they remember what happens when economic policy is driven by vibes, nationalism, and “I alone can fix it” narcissists.

Correct and the standard for free speech is that you're not charged with a crime and thrown in jail because your speech is being held against you. Freedom of speech does not mean "freedom from consequences". It is well within the sovereign rights of a country or a business owner to act upon what is being said.

I love how these drive by posters show up out of nowhere, contribute nothing, and suddenly feel entitled to critique everyone else because their little feelings got hurt.

This is true, and he's probably a pretty big guy standing beside someone that's average. Seeing him on TV playing football he seemed tiny though.

I feel a need to be reassured by the board. I get a creeping fear - which can only be based on some weird, deep-seated prejudice -- that Cole Bishop may well lack the toughness to be an NFL strong safety. Maybe he looks a little bit too much like a choirboy. Maybe he is too handsome and I am secretly jealous. I am 100% rooting for him. I know he has the height, weight and speed. But I look at him and think "likely to be scheme sound." No, please! I want to look at him and say "geez, I would sure hate to be a running back and see that animal flying downhill at me. Snot flying, drool dripping, that dude is going to wreck someone." I want to think - wide receiver over the middle? Not worried about it, Bishop will get there and lay the MoFo out. They may complete one, but it will be VERY expensive for them. Tell me I am stupid, a hater or just off base. I really liked the pick when they made it, I am hoping he grows into a silent assassin on the back-end. Even if he is scheme sound too (and I know he wasn't always that last year either). Let's go Cole - cheering for you, and want to feel stupid for doubting you. I may have to buy a Bishop jersey just to exorcise my doubts. Thoughts?

The Caps announce that next year is Ovi's last. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nhl/washington-capitals-announce-alex-ovechkin-to-play-final-nhl-season-in-2025-26/ar-AA1FIZBU?ocid=entnewsntp&pc=U531&cvid=939b07a0958a4c9fa17c90de0d58bddf&ei=14

Canadian Hockey Gods had been wanting to smite Buffalo for their blocking of a franchise in Hamilton. The McDavid lottery presented that opportunity. As great as he is, I cannot root for him.

Free Safety

Yeah, pretty much. It’s a standard Pigovian tax that should stay within the purview of local and state government. It has cleared all reasonable environmental reviews. Early quality control reports in Manhattan are promising (though there are admittedly some parking logistical issues still to be sorted out just north of the congestion pricing district). Favorability poll numbers in the metro area are climbing. Similarly implemented programs in London and Singapore have been successful for quite a long time. Oh yeah…and the Biden administration already approved it! So on what grounds is the Trump administration planning to overturn it?? Working-class people from Jersey and Strong Island can use public transportation…just as the Pigovian tax intended! Residents still complaining should finally make do on their hollow threats and move to a red state. Everyone else will focus on pushing local government to do something useful with all this additional MTA revenue. On that to-do list, I recommend upgrading the public transportation infrastructure and planting more urban trees. Also: please vote Zohran Mamdani on Tuesday, June 24 (while leaving Andrew Cuomo completely off your top-5 ballot list). Dunno…you tell us. I suspect another opportunity to “own the libs” and nothing more.

This is an opinion based on no evidence, though. Just assumptions. Based on what evidence are they not strict about it? Players get suspended if they test positive.

Gotta live for these glimmer moments in the sea of modern No Good, Terrible, Bad News times. 👍

I'm thinking this story would also fit in the Favorite "Rocker Chick" thread.

great point. Crazy how good he has been for them.

I thought it was stupid and arbitrary back then as well. I also felt it was bad to track that kind of thing because its just not helpful, the absolute negativity of buffalo sports media. I don't mind calling out when players play well or poorly, but it is a practice session - The QB is not in danger. This is hugely influential in the "controlled" element of practice that makes a guy like peterman look great.

Flacco is an accomplished QB in the NFL. LEGENDARY Sanders hasn't done a think yet in the league, but I agree, and fervently hope that he gets throws into the starting lineup because that will be the most hilarious, therefore most likely, outcome. Mel Kiper having a Grade III meltdown on sportcenter because Sanders can't get triple digit yards in a game and keeps throwing pick 6s because those behind the LoS passes are a lot easier in college than pro is going to be the icing on the cake.

The NFL is completely lax on testing for HGH because they know if they were strict about it and players stopped taking it, a very large number of players on every team would be listed as "out/doubtful" every week. HGH quickly heals soft muscle tears, which players at this level get ALL of the time given how fast, big, and violent the people lining up against them are.

free speech is free speech

Aren't you big on sovereign borders? The EU clearly has its reasons, neither you or I are privy to its intelligence briefing on these people. We currently have all sorts of entry standards and some of those area clearly a direct reflection of the politics of the executive branch of our government. Are you saying that we should have the right of denial but other EU countries should not?

The fact this number spiked right after Covid should tell you one of two things - maybe both. 1. The survey is flawed 2. We have some pretty freaking stupid CEOs Guess they knew they’d be shrinking everything and the Government would be pumping in trillions to boost AD - completely oblivious to how inflation works.

Really?

Certainly true towards the back half of that duo’s tenure here, but I believe in the beginning, Poyer played more center field. Maybe not 50-50. by 2023, with all the injuries, Poyer was basically playing hybrid big nickel.
