So last year was the year of wrist injury. First Boas and now this...is this the year of the calf injury?

Forgot that he injured his back. Honestly, back injuries were pretty quick recoveries for me when I was his age…. Now though…. Just give me the old yeller treatment and put me out of my misery. Though to be fair, at this point of my life I have to wrap up my joints like Kareem in 88’ just to mow the lawn.

More celebration Friday, June 13 6:45 p.m. – Army Day with the Washington Nationals Nationals vs. Marlins game featuring appearances by the Army Parachute Team, Drill Team and Army Chorus. .

Trump Speaks at Fort Bragg, and the Press Loses Its Mind David Manney This is what it always comes back to with these people: Trump says something bold, the media howls “dictator,” and the rest of us are left scratching our heads, wondering how we got from a speech to a constitutional crisis. Take Fort Bragg. President Trump stood in front of American soldiers and delivered a hard-hitting, no-apologies speech. He talked about law and order. He criticized liberal-run cities. He called out the dysfunction we all see every day. But because he did it in front of our military, MSNBC melted into a puddle of Cold War-era paranoia. “Civil war,” they cried. “Militarizing politics.” You’d think he rode in on a tank. Trump didn’t threaten anyone. He didn’t give orders. What he provided was an honest assessment of the mess that Democratic leaders have created and how their failures hit hardest on working Americans and service members alike. He called out crime, border chaos, and the soft, focus-group language that passes for leadership in D.C. He reminded the troops they serve a country worth fighting for, not just one worth apologizing for. That used to be standard fare. Now it’s fascism, apparently. Funny how the goalposts move. Meanwhile, Joe Biden Defied the Court and Laughs About It Remember the student loan saga? The Supreme Court ruled against Biden’s sweeping forgiveness plan, saying it flat-out violated the law. Six justices said no. End of story. Except it wasn’t. Biden didn’t pause or pivot quietly. He took a victory lap. “The Supreme Court blocked it. But that didn’t stop me,” he said with a smile. That wasn’t a slip. That was the sales pitch. He defied a legal decision on camera and got applauded for it by the very people now clutching their pearls over Trump giving a speech. Let that sink in. {snip} So, let’s not pretend MSNBC is worried about democracy. They’re afraid their team might lose power. That’s what this is about. The Numbers Don’t Lie Let’s count it up. Trump: Tariffs and immigration enforcement, blocked by courts. Faced multiple legal losses. Never told the public, “They can’t stop me.” Biden: Student loan bailout blocked. He bragged he’d do it anyway. Title IX rule changes flagged by judges kept going. Vaccine mandates were ruled unlawful, but enforcement dragged on. Both have clashed with courts. Only one turned it into a punchline. This Isn’t About the Speech. It’s About the Setting What really set MSNBC off wasn’t what Trump said. It was where he said it. Fort Bragg. Military backdrop. Patriotic crowd. That’s what made their alarms start blaring. Because when Trump speaks in that kind of setting, he connects. He reminds people, especially those in uniform, that someone still notices them. Still sees their sacrifice. Still believes in the country they serve. And that terrifies the ruling class. They want the military to serve as a neutral backdrop for a photo opportunity. Not a crowd that cheers when a president points out the rot at the top. The Left Doesn’t Want Unity. They Want Submission Biden can bend the Constitution like taffy and get praised for “trying.” Trump talks tough and gets accused of marching us toward martial law. This is narrative warfare. Always has been. They’re not scared of Trump using troops. They’re afraid of troops agreeing with him. They don’t fear tanks. They fear applause. And so they write these tortured screeds about how “democracy is in danger” when what’s actually in danger is their grip on the narrative.

since this pivoted to Shakir; i am not sure Shakir could handle being a 100+ reception guy. i think he has 3 maybe 4 more years at this level as a maximum. the less we feed him the ball the better he will be and we can only do that by giving other targets to Josh

I know you don't call them what they are because you've swallowed your masters' narrative whole. I describe them using words that describe their presence here accurately. They broke the law entering the country, and they are thus here illegally. Now if we're talking actual immigrants, or those who entered this country according to the law, then I fully support those people being here. For me and most of the country the number of acceptable crimes committed by illegal aliens in the USA is zero. Since you want to make ridiculous comparisons to known risks people take every day that have nothing to do with THE LAW I'll ask you this: What's the number of acceptable murders, rapes, robberies etc. committed by illegal aliens in the USA for you? Or does it only matter when it hits close to home? Since this paper is about crime among immigrants I'm only left to assume that they are talking about the legal kind. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if lawful immigrants, who have been vetted and have gone through the legal immigration process, commit less crime. Now do illegal rate among the unvetted who entered the country by the millions over the last four years.

Brady did a pretty solid job pressuring the boundary with Cook and Johnson, particularly against Detroit. That’s too much scheme and effort to be perpetually sustained though. Hopefully that Palmer, Coleman and Moore can make enough boundary plays early in the year to create space inside.

Yeah, that’s right, its stupid, 🤣

In fact I was just yesterday in the bushes over Lahaina Town. Good time.

It's right there in the injury report. He injured his back against the Rams in December. Missed two games, played the week after, limited snaps week 18 when we were resting folks. I dunno about you, but when I've injured my back, 4 weeks out is when it starts to improve from screaming at me constantly no matter what I do, to allowing me to sit politely in certain positions and stand politely, and only screaming at me when I go from one to the other. By 6 weeks out I can walk OK if I'm smooth and careful and the screaming my back does has improved to a sharp yelp or 3. Football players are a different breed, but I don't think you need a magnifying glass to connect the dots there.

How are people gonna jump to unconfirmed conclusions when you go and present facts and context, what a killjoy…, 🤣

So has the Thigh Doctor weighed in yet and put this speculation to bed?

As you say you are someone that supports LGBTQ and abortion stuff, this certainly seems an interesting position to take

Going back and reading what I wrote, I see how it lends itself to your interpretation. I thought I'd been clearer that I thought he was washed by the end of last season. (I also thought that the Bills defense as a whole had a Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day, as shown by the 416 yds of offense the Bills gave up. That weren't all on Douglas.....). Anyway, we agree, Douglas was not playing well by the end of last season. But what were the options? Would you rather have seen Elam in the Ravens playoff game? My point was he went out there hurt back and all, took some angles that let him make tackles and did that clean field that won the game, so I, at least, put a bit of respect on him for that.

The more you know…

LOL! His exaggeration is amazing? There won’t be any more elections in the US? Trump will use the military to, what, shoot people for no reason?

Map and List of Cities Hosting 'No Kings' Protest Against Trump on June 14 by Khalida Rahman "No Kings" rallies will be held in cities across the country to protest President Donald Trump and his policies on his birthday, June 14. The 50501 Movement (50 protests, 50 states, one movement) and other groups are protesting a military parade scheduled to take place in the nation's capital on June 14, coinciding with Trump's 79th birthday, the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary, and Flag Day. Multiple protests are being held in various cities in each state, but no events are being planned for Washington, D.C. Organizers say that a major march and rally will take place in Philadelphia https://www.newsweek.com/map-list-cities-protests-trump-june-14-2081284

Rasul definitely hit a wall if there wasn’t some unreleased injury. Plus, I think a lot of folks here are focusing on Dane Jackson’s performance away from the team more than his performance in McDermott’s scheme. He’s a serviceable backup on this squad. Tre I’m not so sure about. I’m honestly surprised they brought him back, but if he can be a coach on the field for these rookies during camp and the preseason there’s some hidden value.

Yes, the WSJ is doing the best reporting on this now. On the opinion side of that same newspaper, this also strikes me as accurate: https://www.wsj.com/opinion/china-trade-talks-donald-trump-tariffs-f730f437?mod=hp_opin_pos_1 Developing an alternative supply will take years and require cooperation with allies because the U.S. can’t produce and process all the rare earths it needs. Japan has pitched a rare-earths alliance as part of tariff negotiations, and the Administration would be wise to expand such a partnership with other allies. This gets to the larger problem with Mr. Trump’s tariff strategy—that is, he doesn’t have one. His latest walk-back shows he can’t bully China as he tried to do in his first term. China has leverage of its own. A smarter trade strategy would be to work with allies as a united front to counter China’s predatory trade practices. Instead, Mr. Trump has used tariffs as an economic scatter-gun against friends as well as foes. This increases China’s leverage, and, like this week’s trade truce, that’s nothing to cheer about.

You can pen it in. And I wasn’t saying the right was going to kill anyone. I didn’t say the left would. But tensions are so high, some moron, on some side, will start something and violence will ensue. We’re sitting on a tinder box right now. And Drumpf saying he will arrest protesters (without that caveat of them being violent protesters; ya know, going against that pesky 1st amendment) isn’t helping. But there will be violence by either protesters or counter-protesters because people can’t ***** behave themselves. It’s a 💩 show. The whole thing.

I don't call them illegal alien foreign invaders because that's not what I call them. You can call them whatever you want. I take it from your response they haven't directly impacted you either? I can also post a story about a shark attack or a plane crash. Should we no longer swim in the ocean or fly? It's statistically proven immigrants commit crimes at lower rates than US born citiczens. https://www.nber.org/papers/w31440 I'm not debating they should be here. I'm laughing at you over your outrage for something that you will never feel.

I didnt know that he must be graduating early... not something a lot of 16 year olds can do... impressive!

Yea that is the point in the boundary thing. It's not an issue until it is. You can beat 75% of this league within minimal boundary threat. But when it comes to it against the best teams and the best coaches they are going to force you to beat them outside if they don't think you can. It's classic Belichick. I'm going to take away what you do well and make you beat me another way and if you do, fair play to you.
