Remember a few weeks ago when Trump left the G7 in Canada unexpectedly, days early, and everyone assumed it was because of something related to Israel/Iran? Maybe. Maybe not:

Who paid?

Weird.

you sound ridiculous You don't see the magnitude It's about the timing of these calls that scares me

Too busy winning.

LOLOLOL..... "They ain’t find it last night, it's still out here, it could be out here in one of these bushes or something," he continued. "You know, a mountain lion, it be 'rawr.' They be crawling and... serious."

Right? The audacity of those Dutch commies - choosing history and public infrastructure over stroking a billionaire’s ego. Think of the missed opportunity. For just the price of a few million school lunches, a starving kid could’ve licked a yacht’s wake and dreamed big. Trickle-down magic in action.

He has cricket as a sport, I think that may be the answer (just kidding GB, I have colleagues that are big cricket fans)

I was so worried about seeing Allen on Wednesday I could hardly sleep on Tuesday, only because I kept thinking what if he’s closed off and cold to us, I didn’t want to ruin how much my family absolutely loves Josh. But afterwards as a family all we could do was talk about how awesome the whole experience was!! I’m so proud to be a Bills fan and have that guy as our QB1!!

Firstly, the Executive Director of any labor union should always publicly cite any wrongdoing or bad faith tactics by management. He does this by bringing the wrongdoing to light and making it a part of the public record so that it can be leveraged when necessary in litigation or as a bargaining chip. His job is to police and call out these transgressions, not sweep them under the rug. Not only did Lloyd Howell not do this but he also failed to represent the findings to his members in an accurate way. In this regard, he abdicated his two most fundamental duties. This does not mean that Howell should disturb labor peace. It does not mean he should overplay the issue. It does not mean that he should make a mountain out of molehill. But Howell was not doing his job and his non-actions violated his duty to the thousands of players he represents. On a different subject, the biggest unresolved issue in the current NFL CBA is guaranteed contracts. Ultimately like EVERY OTHER MAJOR NORTH AMERICAN PROFESSIONAL SPORTS LEAGUE, the NFL should have guaranteed contracts. Especially because these players have a much higher rate of catastrophic injuries and also shorter careers. They also have a higher incidence of post-career debilitating conditions. Their contracts should be fully guaranteed. To those saying that it can't be done, or that doing it would cause an untenable situation for owners, that's untrue. Already the percentage of guaranteed money in NFL contracts (for both veterans and rookies) has been increasing over the years. 1st round draft picks now have fully guaranteed contracts and I believe it won't be long until all rookie contracts are guaranteed. The current impasse with this year's 2nd round picks is because of this very issue. Ultimately I see all NFL contracts being fully guaranteed and this is being achieved incrementally, allowing the owners to moderate and mitigate the effects of those guarantees. The NFL owners are purposely dragging their feet (colluding) on this issue because any money saved now is more money later on via the maturation of their investments. It's the same reason that legacy industry leaders drag their feet on those new technologies which threaten their primacy... to delay the inevitable in the name of squeezing a few more million/billion dollars until they can no longer hold back the prevailing industry tide. When all guarantees are fully guaranteed there will be foreseen and unforeseen consequences such as smaller contracts, shorter contracts, less dumping of injured players (if you have to pay them, you might as well rehab them), less dead money, etc. I think ultimately players will have to decide whether they want to trade the potential for higher earnings in exchange for income certainty.. smaller but guaranteed sums of money. To that tradeoff I refer back to the saying, "one in the hand is worth two in the bush."

Not denying there’s some questionable things in that video, but plenty league darlings have seen a lot favored their way. The only one I have a problem with is the “Do Over” in the AFC Championship against the Bengals. They failed to covert the third down, got another crack and converted. In the bigger picture of things, it didn’t matter. They didn’t score on the same drive and the Bengals had two opportunities to break the deadlock of 20-20. Irrespective if it mattered on the actual outcome, the problem is we’ve seen clock malfunctions; unsynchronized clocks or play clocks not even being started and the game wasn’t paused or a down repeated several times in history. The fact it was in the biggest game at that period of the season for both teams is where it’s sour. Not just those teams but the conference championships are the second biggest game/s on the season schedule. Just me?

I sometimes think about how those communist bastards in the Netherlands wouldn’t demolish a historic bridge to allow Jeff Bezos’ yacht to pass through. I mean, how many free school lunches would it have cost to demolish the bridge and then rebuild it so a billionaire’s yacht could get through? I’m sure the benefits would have eventually trickled down. Maybe a poor hungry kid would have found a neat rock that used to be part of the bridge!

Spagnoulo telling Burrow he’s the second best qb in the league was interesting.

There are enough veterans that know this - let’s just say the fash takeover won’t be clean.

send it to npr. you might win their Don Pardo voice on your answering machine or some NPR branded wine.

Exactly - they don’t care about veterans because their golden boy never did. Deep down, they know he dodged his duty, and that guilt shows in how he - and they - treat those who actually served.

Joe Burrow is Christian Bale in "American Psycho" and kind of dig it lol. He has no emotion of any kind like a psychopath 😂

Spare me the false outrage. Like seriously, read the room. You cut services, you get less production. If you think accountability is politics, then you should volunteer at a homeless veterans shelter. Decisions were made.

Exactly. Can’t have bridges or schools when some billionaire’s third yacht is one gold-plated toilet short. Gotta slash services so they can gamble on DOGE and still squeeze out another offshore tax dodge.
