Yep. Folks need to read the whole article. A bit lame how they stuck that rather important information at the very bottom.

Congrats Todd Bowles. Had a crappy Jets org to deal with for years. Gets his ring and his defense was the star of the show.

I am so freaking jealous of TB's linebackers.

LBs who cover Kelce.... brilliant. End the SB with a White INT.

I would counter that Tampa has taken away his quick reads and their d-line is that good.

Mahomes is playing like hot garbage tonight. He has chucked a bunch of balls that should have been INTs. KC has some great receivers that have been making adjustments all night to throws. Credit Mahomes for getting the ball in the right zip code with the heat he is under, but welcome to life for most QBs.

No where for Mahomes to step up. We need that impact NT on our line.

KC's defense looks small once you get past the line. Decent tacklers though...can come up and make a stop.

Well if you can pressure and stop the run mainly with your front 4, you can figure out how to take away Kelce and Hill. Then KC comes back down to Earth. Our front 4 are just that average right now, and Tampa's LB's can cover and tackle.

No pocket for Mahomes to step up into, and can stop the run with their front 4. Tampa has a solid d-line.

Mahomes looks pretty average when he gets pressured or sacked. Allen gets hit all the time.... just saying

Don't think I can watch this. Years of Brady ball-washing meets the ball-washing heir apparent in KC. Like choosing between slightly different flavors of barf.

Hopeless. Like rowing a boat with one oar. You never get anywhere with some folks.

It can only be conjecture at this point. The fact that members of Trump's campaign knew of Russia's hacking of DNC emails and were coordinating release via WikiLeaks is a matter of record. It is outlined in the Senate bi-partisan report on the matter and the reason Stone was incarcerated. "An unidentified "senior Trump campaign official was directed to contact Stone about any additional releases and what other damaging information [Wikileaks] had regarding the Clinton Campaign," the special counsel's office wrote in its indictment of Stone. "Stone thereafter told the Trump Campaign about potential future releases of damaging material by [Wikileaks]." The fact that Trump was aware, encouraged, and embraced the hacking effort, is also a matter of record and the attempts to dilute or pass it off with a nod & wink as a joke are weak. https://www.politico.com/story/2016/07/trump-putin-no-relationship-226282 Although Hilary won the popular vote by over two million she lost many swing states (and their electoral votes) by narrow margins. It is conceivable that the negative press around the emails was enough to sway the election, but still conjecture. The argument could also be made that the Hilary campaign and the DNC itself helped Trump to win. If the DNC did not have emails that documented coordinated efforts between them and the Hilary campaign to shaft Bernie in the primaries then there would have been no mud to sling. There were a lot of Bernie Backers that either didn't vote, or voted Trump in protest. This does not negate what Trump and his campaign did to encourage and coordinate release of the emails with a foreign adversary, just that there are more factors to consider when looking at Trump's win and assessing how that happened.

Every single flaw you ascribe to Biden, Trump has exponentially displayed. You are hopelessly lost in your unwavering desire to continue to worship that incredibly flawed man over facts and reason and the needs of sound government. Meanwhile Biden will serve out his term and I will just objectively look for the next less-flawed candidate who I think can do the job the best. I am not tethered to any politician by some kind of odd messianic umbilical need or rational. Trump should just turn his Mar a Lago golf resort to a commune so his followers can hand over all their worldly goods to Trump Org, live there in monastic poverty, and then he can leverage the financial and tax advantages of having his own religion. A leader's ability to assemble and retain a competent team to you know.....govern the nation is IMO likely the most important quality. The rest is gravy.

For the leadership qualities I look for in any leader be it a business leader or one holding public office. I am not into or overly enamored by firey rhetoric. It is just so much hot air. What I Iook for in a president, irregardless of party affiliation, is ability to assemble and retain competent expertise as staff. A fundamental necessity for that staff is that they can disagree with him (or her someday) and give their expert advice sans fear of reprisal. See my response to the wacky guy. I believe Trump is an effective showman, salesman, and rabble-rouser, but an ineffective, incompetent, and dangerous leader. As many have said, you all need to move on.

And you "genius" completely miss the point. Between two cognitively declining old guys, I'll take the one who can hire expertise, delegate work to them, let them do their job, and retain them over the angry delusional guy whose pervasive leadership quality is his demand for abject loyalty over competence in role. Example: Rudy the melting, farting, but ring-kissing gaffe-machine.

So the position of Trump supporters who have yet to be weaned off his shiveled **** since he lost is: ......that Biden is combative and lies. OMFG the irony 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

This again? Both dudes are old with likely cognitive decline. One is a complete dick, thinks he's a genius, and cannot hire expertise and delegate work without getting bent and firing them for having better ideas than his random and poorly thought out crap. The other recognizes that good leaders don't have to be so insecure that they have to compete with the expertise they hire and can delegate and let them do their job. Biden is a better leader. As for memory impairments, Trump has had his share. "Confusing people and generations memory loss is the symptom most closely associated with Alzheimer’s. While Trump famously forgets the names of people (as he did recently when he called Apple CEO Tim Cook “Tim Apple”) and places (as when he called Paradise, California, “Pleasure”), one could make allowances for such gaffes. More troubling, Michael Wolff reported in "Fire and Fury" that at the end of 2017, Trump failed to recognize "a succession of old friends" at Mar-a-Lago. Trump, at 72, seemed to hit a new inflection point when he said, “My father is German. Right? Was German. And born in a very wonderful place in Germany.” In fact, his father was born in the Bronx and it was his grandfather who was from Germany. Dementia Care International says a "person may start to mix up relationships and generations” in the second stage of dementia."

So many folks do not understand clinical trial protocol, but somehow think they should reference them to support positions. Just about any organization can register a clinical trial. Many do not even get off the ground to a phase 1, or acquire any participants and just get scrapped. That there is a clinical trial registered absolutely means squat in regards to progress, efficacy, or safety. This UK trial is limping along with little reason as a randomized trial has already been done testing hydroxychloroquine and other potential drugs and the results peer-reviewed. https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/global-research-on-novel-coronavirus-2019-ncov/solidarity-clinical-trial-for-covid-19-treatments The "Oxford" site and clinical results link take you to: Mahidol Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit (MORU), Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University, 3/F, 60th Anniversary Chalermprakiat Building, 420/6 Rajvithi Road, Bangkok 10400 Thailand A bit of a saga from there. First we cover incentive. The study received 20 million from various health charity organizations, but to collect they probably need to keep going. It was shut down for a few months, but was allowed to reopen with strict guidance on dosage. They talk up 1 patient registered...I think in Pakistan. There is still no evidence of efficacy towards infection prevention. Trump used it and caught Covid-19. I have my doubts and variants would make consistent results less likely. Their last blog notes say this: "Scientifically proving that hydroxychloroquine provides even a small health benefit could save thousands of lives before vaccines become widely available, and COVID-19 brought under control." Seems to be a walk back on wide-scale benefits. NOTE: The very first thing you see on the clinical.gov site is this notice: "The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Know the risks and potential benefits of clinical studies and talk to your health care provider before participating. Read our disclaimer for details."

..likely too the funds that were siphoned off his doomed election challenge fund-raising campaigns. https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-campaign-shifted-money-into-indebted-private-business-forbes-2021-2

I will definitely check it out. Just did...and they nailed it. All that manufactured privilege churn from an old dude wearing a jacket and recycled mittens.

Sounds like a revival of the CNN Crossfire show that Tucker Carlson used to co-host. Jon Steward skewered the show as a guest and it was canceled soon after...not sure Tucker ever got over that. The audio on this copy was crap, but plenty others out there. It is a good listen about polarization and partisan divide.

I generally feel that many politicians are attention-seeking divas, and Alexandria is near the top of that list. Still, most of her account checks out except for her over the top assertions regarding Cruz wanting to kill her... I think he is a spinless clown, but killer Cruz... please. Also, she makes the assumption that the bombs planted were planted by Trump supporters. While plausible considering the makeup of the riot, the investigation on who actually planted those is ongoing. https://www.politifact.com/article/2021/feb/04/ask-politifact-where-was-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-/ One of many fact check sites I reviewed and they all generally align on the facts. The Cannon building is actually part of the Capital Complex of buildings connected by walkways used by staff. Several buildings were surrounded, not just the dome. "As the Capitol complex was stormed and people were being killed, none of us knew in the moment what areas were compromised," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted on Thursday in response to criticism from Republican Rep. Nancy Mace. Mace, a South Carolina congresswoman, appeared to challenge Ocasio-Cortez's claims about what happened at the Cannon building. "I'm two doors down from @aoc and no insurrectionists stormed our hallway..." Ocasio-Cortez's response to Mace noted that Mace told a newspaper in January that she had barricaded herself in her office during the attack. Mace then responded: "*FACT CHECK* I have not once discounted your fear. We were ALL terrified that day. I'm stating the fact that insurrectionists were never in our hallway... because they weren't. I deal in facts. Unlike you, apparently." Mace's "FACT CHECK" is misleading. Ocasio-Cortez never said that insurrectionists were in their hallway. Rather, in Ocasio-Cortez's telling of the story on Instagram, she said she had been scared that day by a man in her office she had thought was a rioter but turned out to be a Capitol Police officer. She said the officer had not initially identified himself as a member of law enforcement, had been shouting, "Where is she?" and had looked at her "with a tremendous amount of anger and hostility." Mace might have been confused because some journalists' initial tweets about Ocasio-Cortez's Instagram story did not correctly convey what Ocasio-Cortez had said about the police officer she had thought was a rioter. But she never said an actual rioter. Regarding Ocasio-Cortez's accusations about the officer's behavior... kind of dumb. I know with some degree of certainty that officers responding to a riot are very wary, amped up, and also usually pissed off.

To me it looks like almost all our gap runs were to the strong side of the formation. Abandoned running up the middle as we did not have the guard to guard ability to pull that off, but I think more draw plays would have had some success. Their gap runs right focus is the theoretical way you would run strong side with 11 personnel. Using your TE to give you that extra blocker. Knox is nowhere near where he needs to be as a blocker though. Queue the Yoda voice: And that is why you fail...
