I respect your opinion. But given the low success rate of the 3 pointer (38% of shots taken this season by all teams were 3's and only 36% of those were successful) these guys don't defend the arc like you think--why would they? With the way guys kick out and get cheap 3 free throws or 4 point plays...why would they. Sure the might guard the best 3 point shooters, but in the history of the 3 point shot, only 5 players have shot over .500. There's a bunch of guys with over 400 attempts who have made less 1/3 of them. Why step up on them? Fair better value play is get in the lane for the defensive rebound. And this is what you see--as I showed above, offensive rebounds are up and defensive rebs up. This is all easily seen watching the game. The 3 point shot has relaxed, not increased defensive requirements. Indy could have simply watched the Thunder chuck up another 30 3's and still won, given how badly they were missing. Alos, Free Throw attempts have dropped by almost 27% since the mid 80's----it's not the refs are "just letting them play", it's that there's much less tough D in the paint. Guy drive to the hoop unmolested. I understand everyone wants to draw a straight line from "kids play more, training is better", etc. to "the league has more talent top to bottom today". But the data (and observation) don't support this conclusion.

Welp, here we go. I've made no bones about being hawkish relative to Iran for many years now. Similarly I've not been shy in my dislike of Trump in general With that being said, I don't know what combination of those two things made me laugh out loud in his capitalization of "BOMBS" , but it did. I take no comfort in people losing their lives, but damned if that didn't make me blow Utica Club out of my nose.

I can’t stand Draymond. i was a warriors fan, but he didn’t get along with my boy Barnes. I can’t stand that he cost Barnes another title by hitting LeBron in the nuts. Draymond does some of the dumbest things. I just don’t let my feelings taint my view of him. He’s was such integral piece of that teams success, he has to make it. His accomplishments altered basketball history by way of adding another dynasty to nba history

This clown had 8 games last year of 40 yards or fewer; he's a declining diva looking for attention. I wonder if McDaniel has the guts to tell him to shut up with comments like this. Probably not. That team's a mess and good for us.

A bit of grey area between “not enamored with” and being a “bad person”

The US getting involved in another war in the Middle East? This never would have happened if Donald Trump was President. https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/114724035571020048

Excellent thread. Thank you.

Ho-hum.............. Yesterday, while taking questions from the press in New Jersey, a reporter asked President Trump what intel he had that Iran was building a nuclear weapon, given that DNI Tulsi Gabbard had said there was no evidence of such. The President simply replied, 'She's wrong' before moving on to the next question. What the reporter did not mention was that the comments from Gabbard were made in March at a congressional hearing. He also conveniently failed to mention that during the same hearing, practically in the next sentence, she reported that Iran continued to enrich Uranium and possessed more than would ever be needed for a nuclear energy program. When we say you can't hate the media enough, this is what we mean. The disingenuous question has nothing to do with acquiring information. The reporter is using an out-of-context comment that is three months old to create a wedge issue between the President and his National Intelligence Director. Tulsi Gabbard was having none of it, posting the entirety of her comments from the March hearing. But sheep like Ned and Frank just lap it up.

I could also make up numbers and say the total I gave was too high and it’s only 10k. I guess trump didn’t chicken out

My 50th reunion is the week after the 4th of July. The organizer of the reunion has said that out of a class of 365, she knows of at least 65 that have passed away. We had a tour of the school from the principal at our 40th. He is now the district principal. He said then "Do you want to fee old? I was 1 when you guys graduated." We are having a tour again. The school itself is now 65. It is the HS next to the Galleria.

Or “two weeks” was more misdirection. Ya think?

Maybe. I also think he hit the brakes and gave the two weeks because he was told that’s the amount of time it will take to clear US citizens out of the region. Welp. Scratch my previous post.

We bombed them:

That's not the criteria for Hall of Fame tho buddy I watched Jim Kelly with my own eyes for years and he certainly is a Hall of Fame player but modern statistics leaves him at the bottom... he doesn't have an MVP... He's a one-time All-Pro Warren Moon never All prod once... and he is in the Hall of Fame and he is worthy I'd be willing to bet as much money as you're willing to wager that Josh Allen will wind up in the Hall of Fame

Also would add Spencer Brown when he gets rolling on a running play. Good luck to a LBer in his path.

I don’t agree because ultimately Lamar is a 2 time MVP and a 3 time All Pro. Josh is a 1 time MVP. Who is better is not the question.

why do you think that is so unlikely?

feelings…

I think I make the smartest posts, actually. Sorry that I'm not enamored of a malignant narcissist that got kicked out of his first college for stealing his roommate's laptop.

Spider 2 Y Banana on two.

Josh Allen has more passing touchdowns.. more Rushing touchdowns , more passing yards,more playoff wins, and better playoff stats then Lamar Jackson and he also has an MVP I don't care if opinion voters voted him MVP more than Josh because Josh could be a three-time MVP right now Josh Allen scores more points than Lamar Jackson and is a better postseason quarterback.. if you think Lamar is in Josh Allen is in Josh also went to a much worse franchise than the Baltimore Ravens and turned them around.. Lamar Jackson went to one of the most steadfast franchises of the last 25 years Yeah Josh Allen is ahead of Lamar Jackson regardless of AP awards

Josh Allen hasn’t played that many though. Lamar is in if he retired tomorrow. I don’t think Josh is.

Because if Josh Allen played the same amount of years as Matt Ryan he would smoke his touchdown total lol If you think Lamar is in Josh is squarly in I don't need their bogus metrics.. Josh Allen could and should have as many all pros as Lamar Jackson He has better stats and performs better in the postseason too.
