The Frankish Reich

Never try to sneak one past the Bills Rainman

I really do like Rubio, and I hope Trump lets him do his job rather than interposing friend Steve Witkoff in everything important. Rubio's Charlie Kirk speech got attention - it was clear, impassioned, faith-based without being offensive to those who are not Christian. I wish he could've made that speech about 9 years ago ...

I see this as the Sean Payton move. Goodbye Russell Wilson old model, hello Bo Nix/Jaxson Dart model.

Russell Wilson has probably started his last game. And the record: 120-80-1 His top PFR comps are Cam Newton (wasn't expecting that!), Joe Montana, Ken Anderson, Stafford, Steve Young. I do think he is a HOFer just because he (and his team) was really that dominant at his peak.

Yeah, it's probably time to hang it up. The Giants going to Wilson as a bridge was really a stupid idea. I mean, I could see Zach Wilson or someone you think may still be a late bloomer/have some upside. The kind of offense the Giants will want to install with Dart isn't the kind of offense Russell Wilson can run. Just look at the disconnect with Sean Payton in Denver. Russell is kind of a borderline HOFer. He really was that good in Seattle, and even his last gasp half a season in Pittsburgh last year was fun while it lasted. There isn't much use for his skill set in today's NFL offenses, particularly when that skill set is in decline.

I'm sold on Herbert, but I'm still not sold on the Chargers in general. But I do think they are now our #1 threat in the AFC. They improved in all key areas, Harbaugh's culture (like it or not, we can all agree that the Chargers needed a change in culture) is taking, and even the loss of Najee Harris may not be so bad as it allows them to shift more carries to a really good rookie back from a declining back. Our ace in the hole: their division is way better than ours.

That's it. You were never going to get Trump going out there and saying "there is enough reason for concern that it would be prudent to minimize use of Tylenol unless otherwise instructed by your doctor." No. It was always gonna be "we have solved the puzzle of autism" or something very close to that.

Yes, and those pregnant "people" who are dealing with pain/discomfort probably ought to just get abortions, since of course a child that never exists is preferable to an autistic child. Think about systemic effects.

So you've hit on the problem here. I imagine the recommendation that came to Trump/RFK probably was something like this: a warning label. Advice to seek guidance from your doctor if you are pregnant before taking Tylenol. You'd want someone to at least ballpark the relative risks of, say, letting a 102 degree fever resolve on its own vs. taking Tylenol to bring it down right away. But Trump: tough it out, ladies! Don't take Tylenol. Just don't take it.

Not sure what they taught nurses in the 1980s, but surely you do realize that there is a confounding variable here? Maybe, just maybe, the pregnant women who took more Tylenol had more health conditions during pregnancy, including, of course, fevers? That's what newer, better studies tried to control for.

I do believe that Barron is on the spectrum, and that is why Trump is obsessed with autism. No man wants to blame his old sperm. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7396152/

I will miss the nightly reruns of Celebrity Family Feud. How will I know what 100 Americans would want to poop on if they could fly like a bird? (actual question)

You do know that he has taken his talents to the burgeoning field of Medical Research Supply Sales and Maintenance?

Sinclair and Nexstar are preempting Kimmel because they're worried the FCC will find that carrying him means they're not operating local stations in the public interest. Meanwhile, the following shows operating in the public interest will continue to air: Celebrity Family Feud The Golden Bachelor The (30ish) Bachelor Monday Night Football, Jets @ Dolphins Survivor 73, Cheektowaga Big Brother 40, the one where everyone has sex with everyone, often at the same time and place

Bumping an Irv thread. Sad

/ / / / / / / / / / / Question: When is the last time - other than in a Supreme Court death penalty case - you've heard someone referred to as "ret@rded" or "severely ret@rded" or some such variant? Answer: Decades ago, because these same people are now called "nonverbal autistic."

Dear Kamala: Please go away.

Dyslexia/ADHD. I've been saying it for a long time. Mom popped acidtomifin all during her pregnancy?

That's a very pro-American decision by the very Canadian CEO of Sinclair!

Are you telling him to take some Ack-tem-fan and sleep it off? https://newrepublic.com/post/200772/donald-trump-tylenol-pregnancy-autism-rant Yeah, I know pharmaceutical names are tricky, but there is such a thing as practice ...

Sorry. Trump has had 2 chances to choose a Jewish VP. We know he thinks lots and lots of Jews are really great, including Steve Witkoff, Steve Mnuchin, Stev(phen) Miller, even some non-Steves like Howard Lutnick. And he went with born-again Christian Mike Pence and born-for-the-first-time-at-40 Catholic JD Vance.

Who said calling for a boycott was bad? I was merely predicting that it would be quite unlike Trump to just let it go ...
