The Frankish Reich

Essex must be in need of a capable hawk.

2024 ending with a bang. Maybe we've finally reached Peak Stupid?

Kay Adams AND Mina Kimes? Together? This game just got more interesting. (And I like RG3 too, but in a different way)

When we drafted him I would have been happy if he gave us 80% of prime Dalvin. 100% and counting so far …

The report focuses on lack of trafficking evidence.

Yep.

FWIW, PFF has Elam at a perfectly respectable 68 rating. Handsy and caught doing it? Sure. But a penalty is often no worse than a catch allowed. And sometimes a whole lot better: a penalty in the end zone that prevents a score is a lot better than giving up a TD catch.

Musk is functioning as the de facto transition team chair, and after January 20 his DOGE will make him effective OMB chief and chief of staff. You tell me what Trump Cabinet member survived his first term.

I think the report is clear on that. No evidence that he knew the one girl was under 18. No evidence that he "trafficked" the girls across international or state boundaries. So not a good federal prosecution. You might ask why the DA for the county in which these drug/sex orgies were held didn't bring charges. The answer is probably found in an examination of the Gaetz family's political power.

So those of you who are octogenarians (or very close to it): which is worse? Needing help tying your shoes? Or having your belly block your view of your own weiner? You know, like that guy at the urinal who always undoes his belt and zipper and drops his pants down a foot ...

I agree. We are in a pardoning frenzy. I agree here with Mitch McConnell (!) - this is a perversion of the laws we enacted in a Democratic process. Given the current and future abuses of the pardon/commutation process, I would support a constitutional amendment eliminating it.

Elon is the personification of Peter Thiel's wet dream of Government by Intellectual Elite. He jumped in to support Trump knowing that deep down Trump doubts his own intellect and that he would be able to manipulate him in whatever direction he chooses. And it's working. It'll end when Trump gets tired of Elon taking credit for whatever "accomplishments" the new administration wants to tout. I give it till summer.

A groomer to you. The Nation's Top Law Enforcement Officer to Trump!

Oh, we know who's in charge. Pardoning, commuting, doing all those fun last-days of a presidency thing.

Rodgers' second half so far has actually been kinda good.

I doubt it.

Thank God they had the foresight to give up on Baker, trade 3 first rounders, and sign Deshaun to the worst contract in NFL history. In some alternative universe they are competing with us and the Chiefs for a first-round bye.

Are the sports books taking bets on Deion/Shadeur both going to the Giants?

Penix already looks like a keeper. Not showing any fear (but it is the Giants) and an arm way, way beyond what Cousins has.

Much as we hate to admit it: add Tom Brady.

Mahomes: acts like he's dying, comes back 6 days later with his best game of the season. Josh: breaks a hand in Game 1, acts like nothing's wrong, has his best season ever. Two different ways of getting to the same place, the AFC championship game. Only this year Josh has got it.

He was fun to watch. Imagine if Tebow had a rocket arm.

An, umm, well-seasoned fan's perspective: - 1970s: Roman Gabriel (peaked before my time, in the 60s), Bert Jones. Watch the tape! - 1980s - 90s: Elway, Randall Cunningham, Steve Young, Steve McNair, Favre - 2000s - now: Culpepper, Luck, Rodgers, Mahomes All big (or big enough), athletic running threats (Luck would surprise you), big arms, big cojones
