The Frankish Reich

Agreed. He has spoken the truth. He will soon be a former DOGEist. By the way, this is exactly what JD Vance was saying in Hillbilly Elegy.

It HAS to be more likely to hit a 57 yarder than for them to get a first down and then hit a 47 yarder ...

Sounds plausible

so preposterously inept. Is Nathaniel Hackett secretly coordinating the Bears offense?

Please break free for a TD, Bears. Mercy kill this one. Seattle doesn't deserve a playoff berth.

Holy crap, two guys made a play!

No more of this 5 days of NFL a week, please.

Yep, he got his guy to jump. Nice hard count.

Nice series again, Bears.

You won't even need to box it up. Just dump on the brain dead clerk at the nearest Whole Foods.

If I'm Woody Johnson, I'm thinking the best route is to hire a competent GM/coach/OC, and then keep Rodgers and everyone else important in place. The Shadeur + possibly Deion thing is a recipe for continued disaster. I actually think the Jets/Rodgers have a good chance to be competitive next year.

That's pretty astounding. If you're never getting intercepted, then you aren't really trying.

My mathematical mind (giving the Bills every benefit of the doubt) sez: - Probability of beating the Broncos in OP: 80% - Probability of beating the Ravens in OP: 55% - Probability of beating the Chiefs in Arrowhead: 45% (.8) x (.55) x (.45) = .198 20% chance of making it to the Super Bowl. Surprisingly, ESPN's latest (pre-Christmas) betting odds: Bills +450 to win the Super Bowl. That translates into an 18% chance. Lot of Bills support out there in the betting public. More than is really warranted in my opinion.

I'll admit it, I was wrong about the Jets. I said that with even mediocre QB play they'd be a solid team. Guess what? They've had mediocre QB play. Rodgers fits somewhere in the middle of the pack statistically for starting QBs. He's been much better after a terrible start. Aggregate Jets QB rating last season (mostly Zach Wilson, but others too): 70.5. That is so, so awful it is hard to find a season-long comparison. How about EJ Manuel's rookie season? 77.7. All-time draft bust JaMarcus Russell in his only (relatively) full starting season? 77.1. Taylor Heinicke (kind of the definition of the journeyman backup) career QB rating? 84.1 Hence my prediction that the Jets would be a competitor. Rodgers has a QB rating of 90.8 That's a huge improvement! They've scored almost 4 more points per game. Also huge. And somehow they're even worse. Maybe there is something about "team culture" after all.

Watch out, Bahamas!

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.
