Steelers are due for a rebuild. That team is old and creaky. They'd be foolish spending a lot capital to rent a Russell Wilson who is also close to the end too.

This story is a nothing burger for me but the Ray Epps angle, however, interests me. The feds have imprisoned A LOT of people that walked into the Capitol that day but THIS guy, who's on camera front and center, seems to be ignored deliberately by the same federal government. It'd be "something" if the Gov. Gretchen Whitmer "plot" and the January 6th whateveryouwanttocallit were ginned up by federal agents and individuals protected by the federal government. To what end is the question. Wouldn't be the first time - other events like Waco and Ruby Ridge had a lot of inconvenient federal involvement too that got a lot of people killed unnecessarily.

A movie that absolutely deserved a sequel. An underrated Bruce Willis movie when he cared about acting.

Yet...Fauci prevails. (In your best John Hurt voice.) Both Trump and Biden are responsible for putting hack academics and pharmaceutical CEOs in charge of whatever "response" this continues to be.

McDermott delivered one of the biggest wins of his career. Team was ready and on point today.

They have to figure out what's going on with Jackson healthwise and what that future trajectory looks like. The "strange illness" that wasn't disclosed, the bouts of Covid. He's missed one game because of injury, but he often seems ailing to me.

I'd fire John Harbaugh. You have the best kicker in the whole league. The man kicks field goals from the moon. That's a second game Harbaugh has lost out of some misplaced sense of confidence or ego.

I'm impressed with her.

New Coke.

I wonder how many of you who voted "yes" think Ray Lewis is a stand up guy.

Weed is the next big government revenue cash engine across the United States. It just makes too much money to ignore in a time period of pensions and pretty much every state government flat broke and desperate for cash. With so many states either losing taxpayers or no longer generating replacement taxpayers, it's an attractive revenue source. After that, it'll be legalized prostitution. Sounds wild, but it'll find its way into conversation. Think about the billions you'd make from a casino that offers booze, gambling, weed, and prostitution for however much money you've got. You'll pave a lot roads with that revenue.

All fine and dandy but with four games left, they better come up with some run plays that work using the guys they have. This team rides and dies on essentially the run and shoot offense without any of the run. It's bold! That's squarely on the shoulders of Daboll. IMO, the lack of a cogent running plan that works by the end of the season is a fire-able offense.

He's ok. I've always thought that being responsible for calling the plays overwhelms him and diverts too much of his focus, and they should give that responsibility to someone else. He was a different player when Lorax was on the job. If the Bills would re-sign him, that'd be a change I'd make. Just let him play football, and let the strategy part come from someone else.

They *have* to win out. The now is here in the now or never.

This team is soft.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court "threw out" Governor Wolf's school mask mandate today. They essentially upheld the lower court's decision. The state lacks the authority to impose such a mandate, and the order is unenforceable. https://www.pennlive.com/coronavirus/2021/12/order-requiring-pa-school-students-to-wear-face-face-masks-is-invalid-state-supreme-court-says.html

He was a pretty good politician and a quality person. He was at the wrong place and the wrong time when he finally got the nod to run for President. That 1995-1996 economy was hair on fire, and all Clinton had to do was not get in the way. I remember the media made a huge deal about how old he was. Ahh ,the warm hands of irony on America's shoulders.

What is the history of the train horn? Why is it indeed a train horn? What year did they start using it?

Unless people restrict the power, the powerful will enjoy flexing it. She's batshit crazy. If she's elected, NY gets what it deserves.

There's a part of me that felt sad for her because she doesn't have an appreciation for how sad it makes her look. 2016 was six years ago! I have a question though - who cares if Trump and/or Clinton are wealthy, mentally ill elderly people besides CNN and Fox News? They aren't in office. We should be collectively concerned about the one who may just very well be - the one in office. I have a sneaking suspicion we're in for an awful Trump v. Clinton redux if the parties have it their way. I'd rather both of them just keep to their softball interviews.

Just a note about your oil comment - Gazprom is the dominant supplier of natural gas into Europe. They also have the largest refinery in OPEC that has the availability capacity to refine gasoline for the European market in Omsk, deep in Siberia. That Omsk refinery is perhaps the world's most important refinery - it has so many carbon crackers that they refine every derivative fuel you can get from the crude oil. The Russians have excess refining capacity where many of the world's countries do not.

The fundamental question is whether Brian Daboll is to the passing game as Greg Roman is to the running game. Brilliant in one aspect of a strategy, struggles to develop a well-designed comprehensive game plan, and when stressed, doubles down on what got them there. The Eagles don't have great running backs, an offensive line that is chronically injured and a QB that won't throw for 300 yards, yet they have been able to run the ball with purpose since changing their strategy.

It's what isn't mentioned. CIA. Weapons. Air power. Missiles. Battlefield intel (from satellites and the air) IMO, Russians don't care about sanctions from the West because Europe is desperate for Russian energy, Russia is in OPEC, and the country makes its money off its energy and weapons sales.

Don't stop at Antonio Williams. I'd be shaking the trees for new legs at RB because you know what you've got and it's not doing much. Tryouts are lottery scratch offs.

I'd normally agree with you but given the current issues against the run, this would be a player I'd want. You need a run stopper like this guy, not only for his physical skill, but that corporate knowledge that could improve the defense.
