The Frankish Reich

Agree. I knew he was good, but he’s an absolutely game changing player, week in, week out.

What is your life expectancy? The social security tables say I’ve got 23 years but I’m taking the under on that.

I will have to do a survey of: - the universe of boring white Democratic women senators and governors (no, not Hochul!) - the universe of black and hispanic Democratic senators and governors - and lest we forget: boring LGBTQ Democratic senators and governors - Jared Polis? My take: America wants boring!

I completely agree. If I'm a Jets fan (wow, that's a disturbing thought), I'm still happy we got Wilson. He has the athleticism/arm to make that leap.

I'm not sure I agree with the last part (about a minority candidate), but the likelihood that a white male other than Biden could make it through the primaries is pretty slim. I'm no DeSantis fan but he's smart, sane, young, and Machiavellian (Trump is only the last one), and probably would be able to actually govern in a reasonably effective manner.

I agree. But … Trump almost certainly doesn’t.

Trump planning to announce shortly after Election Day? Let the fun begin! He will have to systematically take down any and every other potential nominee. That’s the only way he knows to play this game. The ass-kissing Ted Cruz of post-Trump 2016 nomination days? Gone. Welcome back “your dad was in with Oswald and your wife is ugly too.” And there’s so many, many more. Bring on the 🍿

Right. There’s a difference between “none of your picks from that draft amounted to anything” and “I can’t believe they picked Sam Bowie ahead of Michael Jordan/Bradley Chubb ahead of Josh Allen.”

Is this an either/or? Or am I allowed to raise you a Boobie Dixon?

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll have to check that out!

And there’s your not-so-hidden agenda. It is important for you and your ilk to create alternative scenarios — even bizarre gay hooker pickup gone bad scenarios — to counteract the obvious fact that this guy was: (1) not all there mentally; AND (2) influenced by nutty QAnon conspiracy theories. I repeat: the gay hooker narrative seemed to emerge from a report that the attacker was in his underwear when the cops arrived. That’s it. (And I don’t know if that has been confirmed or refuted.) in some alternative universe there could be facts like “Pelosi was seen leaving a SF bar with a man fitting the description of the attacker and taking an Uber with him to Pelosi’s home.” OK, in that case, some speculation about the nature of the attack would be warranted. But we have nothing like that. Nothing. It’s an ass-covering story now by fringey MAGA/Q types who don’t want to admit that their wacko politics has a special appeal to the mentally ill. Because, you know, it’s effin crazy.

This gay lover gone bad thing doesn’t even deserve the name “conspiracy theory.” There’s simply no facts to support it. None. And if it really was a weird gay lover spat, would they be charging the guy with attempted murder? And giving him the chance to put on a defense? If he hangs himself in jail, well, I guess you then have a starting point. Right now it’s just somebody saying “sometimes these kind of late night assaults come from disputes between a gay hooker and his client.” But some people can never accept that sometimes life is random and that not everything is part of a big conspiracy.

Bump. D.U.M.B.S. causing earthquakes all over the place! Maybe a Bills Fan in NC can find a portal into the upside down to put an end to this. MY EARDRUMS ARE ABOUT TO BURST. sincerely, DRsLackey

Go ask him for his analysis. They tell me he’s on that other fan site. I’m sure you boys are still in touch.

I lived in the Bay Area. Yes, nothing surprises me about what’s been reported about this kook. Ask the mods if they can restore the archived “Q Analysis” 600-page thread! I’ll wage that long-standing respected commenter BillsFanNC left some fawning comments for his guru!

Next thing you’ll be telling me that Oswald acted alone. Or that JFK Jr hasn’t been in hiding for 20 years and is ready to emerge from the shadows as Trump’s 2024 running mate.

Page 11, on which our resident neophyte learns that yes, sometimes the government can be grossly incompetent. See Hanlon’s Razor.

Or at least Hines Ward. C’mon, Brandon, he’s available!

Absolutely. I’d love to have our decade or two with no real competition in the division just like NE had, but hey, I can handle the Pats being a perennial last place team just fine.

I’m no Dolphins fan either, but that doesn’t stop me from saying I really like what McDaniel and the GM are doing, and that watching this track meet offense is entertaining (at least when they’re not playing us). Will this be sustainable long term? Who knows, but it’s kind of a fascinating doubling down on what KC did with Tyreek and his game altering speed.

Well…yes. At least not with nearly the same frequency. I love the Bills and Bills fans, but I have to say I was a little disappointed in how SNF played up the old tired memes: tailgate table dives, bowling ball shots, etc. Yeah, it’s still a thing, but not the thing it was when the actual game on the field wasn’t very interesting.

You should just give up. I’ve had this argument a couple times now. We all agree that Tua is no Allen or Mahomes. But some people won’t even concede that he’s playing very well and he could easily take them as far as, say, Tannehill took the Titans. Which on a good day with the right breaks makes them dangerous. I think all that criticism comes from a place of fear …

Since I live in Colorado, I’ve seen an awful (and I mean “awful”) lot of the Broncos these last few years. Chubb is a very good player. Not so much an edge rusher as a guy who can bring pressure often enough, and also strong against the run. Not a game changer by any means, but he’ll be an upgrade over the guy whose snaps he takes. Kind of a more developed Boogie Basham. I don’t like to see that the Dolphins finally seem to know what they’re doing, but this one doesn’t really worry me.
