    Gameday PreGame Thread

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted · Edited by dubs

    I expect a pretty decisive win today, 7 points or more, but the talk I’ve heard on GR this morning about style points just doesn’t really seem appropriately timed. 
     

    it’s been a weird offseason and it’s week 1 against a division opponent in potentially ***** weather. Just get out with a win. 
     

    if the bills are going into week 5 at 2-2 or worse with no semblance of a dynamic offense, then I’ll worry. For now, get it done where it counts, in the W column.

    After the game tonight --- are pre-season games really necessary?

    Keep the Practice Squads as they are in 2020.  Great flexibility for all teams. 

    Teams will have 2 scrimmage games against NFL opponents.

    Play an 18 game schedule with NO Bye's.

    Quite charging season ticket holders for nonsense Pre-Season Games.


    it’s really simple, IMO. 
     

    if season ticket holders are forced to pay for any preseason games, then preseason should just be substituted for regular season. 
     

    would you rather pay for a meaningless game that coaches don’t prepare for in the same way, players don’t play the whole game, if someone gets hurt it was in a game with no meaning, and is often filled with guys who won’t even make the team

     

    OR

     

    a sloppier early season real game

    Marx has nothing on what these idiots propose

    As is now obvious to all, we are living through an era-defining ideological clash. We must decide whether to allow a regressive alt-right, ethno-religious, me-first, make-my-country-great-again ideology infect the body politic — a sure path to global catastrophe and World War III — or whether a big-ideas march toward a compassionate, all-inclusive new world order will emerge on the Left. This is the Meme War that will decide our fate. And to win this war, we must re-examine all assumptions, all rules, all habits of mind that have delivered us to this perilous moment.

     

    In short, we must rethink almost all economic, political, and cultural precepts we’ve taken for granted for generations. We must breathe fresh life into progressivism, revive its mojo, and return it to the visionary force for change it once was.

     

    Our strategy is to zero in on a new grand narrative, a once-in-a-millennium mind shift, a set of big ideas — metamemes — so fundamental, so systemic, so profound that a sane and sustainable future is unthinkable without them. This means shining a light on the hidden coordinates of our shared reality and unleashing a Metamemetic Insurrection on seven critical fronts:

     

    1. PSYCHOLOGICAL

    5e2a38dfbe4a7433cc1e6cbf_donor_letter_ps

    We forge a Digital Bill of Rights, a document which articulates undeniable, common-sense demands to wrest back power from Big Tech.

     

    2. ECOLOGICAL

    5e2a390dbe4a7449c11e6d15_donor_letter_ec

    We unleash the #TrueCost metameme — the idea that we can deliver ourselves from the climate crisis by moving resolutely toward a global true-cost market regime in which the price of every product tells the ecological truth.

     

    3. CORPORATE

    5e2a39413fa1326fafe2939a_donor_letter_co

    We launch the mother of all boycotts, with the aim of wiping ExxonMobil off the face of the earth. Once the mightiest falls, the rest will follow — and we will witness the birth of a Corporate Charter Revocation Movement.

     

    4. FINANCIAL

    5e2a3975b3437b688402de89_donor_letter_fi

    We slow the ravages of fast money by proposing an elegant idea: that you must hold a stock for 24 hours after its purchase before selling it. If instituted, this would kill off flash trading and fundamentally change the way stock markets operate and money flows.

     

    5. ECONOMIC

    5e2a39a4ca7814792b2aa942_donor_letter_ec

    We spark student mutinies in the economics departments of universities around the world by disrupting classes, plastering posters in the corridors, and nailing manifestoes to professors’ doors. 2020 could be the year in which campus uprisings provoke a revolution in economic thinking — a paradigm shift in the science of economics.

     

    6. POLITICAL

    5e2a39cdbe4a746e201e6fc4_donor_letter_po

    We propose a constitutional amendment for global adoption, calling for a national referendum requiring at least 50 percent of voters to formally assent to any war before it can begin.

     

    7. AESTHETIC

    5e2a39e5be4a7422dc1e7086_donor_letter_ae

    We call on the artists, designers, and creatives of the world to transform the ambient tone of the world . . . the way it feels to walk around our cities . . . the mood of watching television . . . the knack and smack of navigating the net . . . the emotional valence of money and status . . . the way it feels to be alive today.

     

    This may all seem idealistic, even far-fetched. But so did Occupy Wall Street when it was just a glimmer in our eye. The future is not yet written. And the planetary endgame currently unfolding demands nothing less than the full measure of systemic, *****-it-all audacity and visionary boldness.

     

    This year, we crack the global mind.
