The Lions are 3-4 and Tate is a critical part of their team. They aren't looking to fire sale.

Just for accuracy's sake the Stewart comparison wasn't on policy or ideas but more so on consistency of ideas and principles.

I thought the Pats had a pretty respectable defense this year?

Haush money don't care

Great catch KB.

You underestimate this offense.

This offense sucks.

He has been playing really well. I didn't see him get hurt.

Honestly they need 2 turnovers this half to win or a turnover and a big special teams play. The offense is limited they are going to need some plays from the other 2 units.

KB having his best game as a Bill.

They were at their own 40 not the Pats 40. It is far more likely to be a pick 6 than an offensive TD. Any sane coach would make that call.

The context to which I am using the term "Partisan Hack" is referring to pundits that do not hold consistent principles they become more interested in making the party they support look good to their audience than actually focusing on policies and ideas that you genuinely support. For example a guy like Sean Hannity was railing on Obama for these huge deficits and claiming to be a pargon of virtue on fiscal responsibility but had no issue when George Bush was racking up debt to fund the wars and tax cuts he loved so much, now he has no issue with the debt when Trump is in charge. Hannity repeatedly attacked John Edwards for his extramarital affairs but defends Trump's affairs as not relevant. In my mind you become a Partisan Hack when you become more driven by how you can help the party you support look better than by actually supporting the policies and ideas. I think libertarian pundits actually tend to always want less government and more freedom so they actually push for those things consistently. Whereas conservative pundits tend to be more focused on Republican policy objectives (which aren't always in regard to responsibility, individual liberty, and fiscal conservatism.) I am sure you can point me to a few pundits on the conservative side that are more or less policy and principle based but I just am not familiar with any honestly. I can't name any mainstream liberal pundits who are honest and principle oriented (The closest I can come up with is Jon Stewart back on the Daily Show but he is no longer in the political sphere as much) but I do think there are a good amount on alternative media.

Yeah probably, I have seen this happen a lot, a one possession game going into the second half and then the Pats just grind down the defense and slowly build to a 3 possession lead by the time the 4th quarter begins.

Big miss there, Bills start the half with the ball and a little bit of momentum.

Need a sack here.

The defense needs a turnover here.

That's a playcall you make when you are down 3-0, but at 9-0 with a good kicker take a shot to get a first down.

Booger is right take a shot you are an underdog.

The Bills need a TD on this drive. They need to keep the faith of the defense and take advantage of being deep in the Pats territory. A field goal isn't the worst thing but it would squander an opportunity.

There are some libertarian guys like John Stossell, Penn Gillette, or Peter Schiff who are actual libertarians that are pretty consistent in how they absolutely hate getting the government involved in anything. As far as more traditional right wing pundits I haven't seen many that aren't partisans. As far as people on the left I think aren't partisan hacks I think YouTube commentator Kyle Kulinski is a pretty principled progressive (Agree or disagree with his policies I think he stays mostly consistent and policy oriented) there are some other more out there progressives like Jimmy Dore on Youtube that I think like libertarians stay pretty consistent and policy driven even if they aren't very smart on policy ideas. I think there aren't many mainstream people who aren't partisans because attaching your commentary to a political party is both easily digestible and plays into humans need for tribalism (our side good their side bad.) I also understand that you can pull up examples of anybody being hypocritical but its the effort to try and be consistent and avoid being the prisoner of the moment that makes a big difference in my mind.

Jeff Tuel was pretty dam bad but that was mostly due to injury. This QB situation is a completely self inflicted wound.

Hard to judge the play design when the blocking was pretty bad on that series. Overall though the creativity was there but it was mostly wasted motion as opposed to designed chaos that trick plays and oddball formations are supposed to create.

He looks solid, when the hole has been there he has hit it hard. He also made a nice catch.

That was a big catch by Shady, they need to keep the ball out of Brady's hands. Overall I like the creativity of the offense but they have to throw the ball to the QB is the are intent on not covering him out of the Wildcat. Still I hope they continue all these trick plays and wildcat formation.

Shapiro is not new to people who know alternative media the past 5-10 years. But in the past 2-3 years he has gotten much more mainstream exposure both due to being on cable and radio outlets and also more and more people tuning into alternative media. So to a lot of people who are more casual political observers are getting introduced to Shapiro. Where I take issue with Shapiro is that he isn't principled and he is far from his mantra "Facts over Feelings." I cited the example that he constantly wants his religious feelings put over secular law. Shapiro also doesn't have consistency in how he applies his principles. For example during the Obama years he had no qualms about calling the Obama administration fascists and making other extreme comparisons to Obama and his administration. Then under Trump he chastises the left for calling Trump a Nazi and a Facist saying that such comparisons are heinous and not in good taste. Then he called the organizers of the women's march Nazi's for something they did to Taylor Swift of all people. There are many examples of Shapiro being a partisan, now while I hate partisan hacks I think they are mostly harmless if people know what they are getting into when they tune into them. But Shapiro being new to a wider audience can often appear to be someone who isn't a partisan, so I think I am harder on a guy like Shaprio because he is mostly a partisan hack mascaraing as a principled intellectual.
