I don't find many things amusing about this election but I do find people voting for Biden because he's a "good guy." The *entire* Biden family chases money as hard as the Clintons do, and the sole reason Hunter Biden didn't deep-six his dad's presidential hopes is because the DNC and its financial muscle would rather take their chances Joe handling his out of control son than having to contend with a Bernie Sanders nomination.

Allen doesn't trust throwing passes to the TEs. Most fans can understand why. That suggests to me that's a unit that could use an upgrade if it presents itself.

The team didn't show up for this game and the defense seemed to running a script of plays that was focused on stopping Derrick Henry. Think the Bills need to give Edmunds a break as the playcaller on defense and give that responsibility to someone else. It's not working this year and he's playing tentative. The defense certainly misses the Lorax leadership.

The Democrats will not pack the Supreme Court. The party is led by stupid people but there is a floor to even that level of stupidity. It's mutually assured destruction because they assume that the tactic will be warmly received by the American public (it won't) and that the Republicans will never win the White House or Senate ever again where they will write the rules. (they will). The DNC is a fractured party. The Biden/Obama/Clinton "legacy" Democrats will be playing a game of desperate keep away in a Biden administration from not only the Harris camp, which has their own plans - but also the fringe of the party, which is a danger to both camps.

Will President Biden be any healthier? The OP doesn't explore the other side of the coin here - a President Biden is older and not accustomed to the rigors of the office. We also don't know his medical history. If he's elected, America is asking a nearly 80-year old man to work 12 hours a day at least 6 days a week. He can't do this job from the basement of the White House. Assuming there's no vaccine, he's in just as much danger as Trump is, no matter how much you wear a mask or socially distance. I'm concerned the man will be exhausted two months into office and get ill, simply because the demands of the job are that extreme. The job takes a toll on the people who do it. I recall how youthful Obama looked when he became President and how much he aged when he completed his term.

I don't think he will refuse to leave. He stands to make tens of millions of dollars from the post Presidency Money Bonanza as all Presidents do. He can make millions from the TV and book deals and from being the face of a PAC. He can design a ridiculously gaudy Presidential library. He can finance Don Jr. or Ivanka for President. He can tweet and opine with absolute abandon. No more handlers. He can run for mayor of NYC or Governor of Florida. Worry about Trump on many things but him not leaving the White House is low on the radar IMO. From my perspective, he has more reasons to leave than to stay.

I don't know if he was reviled. He just wasn't an effective President. Great human being. Many of the more effective Presidents in history were not great human beings. I think historians whitewash the imperfections because the end justified the means.

James Polk There's no 50-state United States without him and he kept his promise to serve just one term. One of the most impactful Presidents we've had. I think his accomplishments don't get the attention they deserve because he was a slave owner and he was just an average guy, born into no real wealth or colorful history, that just got ***** done.

A Biden presidency will be quieter, media wise and I don't foresee an Administration that will do much. A lot of people are not voting for Trump but that is not the same as a vote for Biden's plan. I don't expect a Biden Administration to do anything, good or bad, because all of Biden's campaigns, including this one, are just as chaotic and poorly run as Trump's. You'll see bizarre hires and bizarre things being said by an elderly President. Many horses will continue to drown in the middle of the "policy" river. You're asking a career Senator, who's done nothing else in his 50 year career, to be this great President and fix problems. There's no prescedent that suggests he will be anything but average. Both Biden and Harris have Trump's learning curve in how to lead, and you see how well that's gone. Being senators isn't a leadership position like a governor, and Biden doesn't have a Pence to fall back on. There will be a frenzy of policy ideas shotgunned in year one, but precious few will ever see a finish line. I also don't think Biden has any sort of Obama-era mandate other than.... he's not Trump.

He really should have stayed at Penn State. He did good things with that program when it was in trouble post Paterno. I think he could be a pretty good to great college coach and I hope he takes a year before running into another job. That never works.

The draft intelligence said Josh Allen was coachable and Darnold not as much. Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes were also rated high for coachability. Josh Rosen, low coachability rating. That's a key detail. I think with Darnold, what you see is what you will get. Rosen was always destined to have a rough go of it. Coaching, talent and the willingness to be coached are the three legs of the stool.

I think the excessive copying and pasting of Twitter feeds could be managed better. Some posters get so wound up trying to defend a point that they wallpaper a thread with long or multiple Twitter excerpts from all over the world. The thread then becomes pages of Twitter posts and lesser amounts of authentic poster commentary.

I agree. That team misses the Reich/DiFillippio combo. It also misses Nick Foles. Wentz is a more talented athlete but Foles was the better fit to guide the team during its championship window.

He was a loser coach in Miami that all the players allegedly hated. He's never been head coach material. None of that information was industry secret. Some people make better coordinators than they do coaches. He's a weird guy. I was at the Eagles/Jets game last year in front of their bench, and he barely interacted with the players or other coaches during the game.

That Eagles punt in OT is going to define their entire season. I never thought Doug Pederson would make that call.

Hope the LB unit is back up to full speed because the Rams abused Philadelphia's slow linebackers today.

I'd say subsequent decisions by several SCs have chipped away at it but no court went out of its way to overturn it. I'd say Roe v. Wade has been chipped away at similarly, or at least attempted. However, I think there are folks who have a singular objective/dream of a future Supreme Court *overturning* Roe v. Wade in its entirety and that's what I believe would be a red line for the SC.

Two Items I have opinions on relative to the Supreme Court: 1. Judges should retire at 70. Nobody is going to convince me RBG was a judge of sound mind at 87 *and* battling cancer. 2. No Supreme Court should overturn a previous Supreme Court's decision. That's a Pandora's box.

His brother is the far better writer between the two. (Interstellar, Person of Interest) Tenet was ok. I think too much emphasis was put on being clever. I thought the casting was a bit pedestrian, especially casting Kenneth Branaugh. Had to go with someone new there. I like Christopher Nolan. I'd put him 4th on my "directors who can deliver interesting films" list behind Mann, Tarantino and McTiernan. A lot of people forget how good John McTiernan was.

Reagan's foreign policy doctrine was "fair"? To whom? I'm interested in your use of the word fair. Honest question. IMO, from many perspectives, the Reagan foreign policy was a complete mess, sometimes complete disaster. You remove the "beating the Soviets" part, and explore what the Reagan-years US was doing in the rest of the world, you'd wonder how he was ever re-elected and/or escaped impeachment.

The MLB should be thinking about contracting the league, not expanding it. Unless you're creating teams with owners willing to spend their own money outbidding the Yankees, Dodgers and Red Sox for free agents annually, all the league is doing is creating at best more mediocrity, at worst more Bob Nuttings in Pittsburgh.

Agreed. I think from a practical POV, the feds and states could start with the areas they can get to. A little something is better than the doing nothing, IMO. I think the infernos today show the result of letting the wood stack up. It's no different from a hoarder's house with magazines and newspapers piled to the roof. I'm not saying the forests have to be clear-cut in a timber frenzy but they have to start knocking down the firewood inventory. It'd make a difference in short order. The whole conversation needs a reboot. Controlled burn is a lot easier on the environment than the apocalyptic inferno that kills tens - perhaps hundreds of thousands of insects, animals and plants. We tend to fixate on our costs in lives and property but these massive blazes kill and displace a lot of woodland life.

I am very sorry to hear of the dangerous situation you're doing your best to get through. Please stay safe. I know a lot of news articles say "climate change" for the wildfires, but in my opinion, it's the western states decades of refusal for controlled burn that lets these fires grow to monster infernos. That's the fix to this problem. You're not going to stop people from moving into the woods and there's no stopping the pine beetle. With the drought and beetle infestations, there's so much dry dead wood that should be burnt off in controlled fire to remove the hazard.

If you think the violence is going to magically stop in a Biden presidency in some hallelujah moment, you're going to be very disappointed. It doesn't matter which of these elderly gentlemen you have as President. The violence is going to spread all over America and continue escalating until whomever is in that office *wants* to put a stop to it.

Agreed. Was stunned the regime stuck around. He fired Mike Smith for a lot less (he had a 66-46 record!), and the Falcons window is very small. Matt Ryan is 35. Smith was also the superior drafting "influence" to Dimitroff. Most of the big Q/D picks are already off the Falcons.
