The Frankish Reich

At least not after he gained possession. I think this one is coming back.

That helps.

I don't like this. Mile High. Most NFL kickers can hit from 60. Browns get the ball at the 25 and only need 35 or so yards (4 downs at a time) to get it.

I never like the guy at FSU or Tampa or even NO. Now I find myself rooting for him. I loved that clip where he's over the moon about playing in Cleveland in the snow. Just seems like a guy who knows he's been given one more chance and he's gonna enjoy it.

Sometimes you don't realize how good a player is until you have to play without him: Broncos CB Riley Moss.

Over/Under was 42 ...

Right. They really have no excuse for missing a false start like that. Rookie mistake. It finally happened.

The Josh Rosen of the 2024 draft?

Well, well, well. Would ya look at the latest Election Fraud Allegations Wither Under Court Scrutiny case. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/dinesh-dsouza-admits-2000-mules-documentary-false-data-1235188932/

I wanted to like the guy because he's a David amongst Goliaths, but ...

A name I never needed to hear again!

From a Colorado Guy: Don't believe them. The snow sucks. Go to Utah this year.

We haven't even seen Penix yet (we will) and as far as pure arm talent goes he was probably the best.

We saw the same thing with Flacco last year. There was only one thing holding this Browns team back, and now I think his career is finally over.

How did Jameis Winston vs. Bo Nix, two teams with excellent defenses battling it out in the trenches, turn into the best shoot-out of the year?

HO LEE FOOK!

Jayden Daniels started faster, Caleb Williams has had his moments, Drake Maye has shown promise, but right now? In a do-over draft, I think I'm going with Nix first.

I think Sean Payton may have found his Drew Brees.

Amazing how Deshaun Watson going down turned this team around. Broncos are solid and (though it pains me to say it) well coached. But it's still a rookie QB and I'd much prefer to see them in the playoffs as opposed to the other two.

Some of your fellow travelers have no doubt reversed the effects of the hideous mRNA vaccines with Kash's Special Formula. Did you know that a vaxxed fool's altered DNA can rub off on you, the skeptical, the loyal, the pure? YES! Yes it can, as the purified NC Bills Fan (a real vaccine scientist!) will attest. Featuring the rarest purest Gujarti turmeric, sourced from the employee lounge at a Motel 6 in New Jersey, NASA-grade magnesium, green tea that comes all the way from China, all whipped up into a proprietary blend. Get it now! Couple it with Kash Patel's brilliant children's book in which Trump the Gay King, with the assistance of Sir Sells-a-Lot, vanquishes the enemies of the Fair Kingdom. What little child - even the Hindu ones! - wouldn't thrill to the sight of this amazing adventure under tree?

The first part of your response is fine. But you start talking crap about Margaret, well, that's fightin words. Don't you mess with my Margaret. Apparently the great grand daughter of Herbert Hoover, which I find quite amazing, comparing them side to side ...

And there may be issues in your past that make you a security threat, subject to blackmail, etc. All reports say that the Trump transition team was pissed that Hegseth didn't disclose the police report naming him. Think about it: someone knows about that, the public doesn't, they use that information for leverage. Or other information that is similarly embarrassing/illegal. This is why we have the clearance process.

Kind of what I said - a mom's love for her son is surpassed only by love for her grandkids. The mom here didn't leak the email. Mom sent the email to Pete and to Pete's ex. It's not officially attributed to the ex, but we all know. Just messy and, shall we say, conduct unbecoming an officer. Lots of allegations of excessive drinking and other behavior that is only excusable as a "youthful indiscretion," which typically doesn't apply to those beyond college age.

Wonderful son-in-law father, whose illegal wheeling and dealing is described very nicely by the Trump's last Transition Team Chief. (How is it that he and the beguiling Margaret Hoover are of the same species? By the way, Margaret also thinks Hegseth is a loser) If Kushner Sr.'s criminal scheme were in a screenplay, it would be rejected as too implausible to pass the laugh test.

I read the New Yorker story (did anyone criticizing it do so?), and it strikes me as solid and fair reporting. I will point out that all of the Misadventures of Pete are the kinds of things that come up in a security clearance background investigation, and again, someone with this history would almost certainly not be granted a clearance if ordinary rules apply.
