Thanks for the feedback, I thought you were speaking of SM but reading some other comments thought I missed it. SM is far too rigid, demanding and process-oriented to be beloved by 53 guys, plus anyone else who may have passed through the clubhouse. Hell his faith alone will make him a target for some people who see the world differently, think it's hokey or even bs. I think when you're the guy expected to lead a professional sports team defined by: guys with passion for the game playing at a high level, guys with the talent to be special walking through the motions, the ego(s) some of these insanely athletic guys must have after what probably is decades of being the best athlete around, the mix of well-heeled guys and hard scrabble guys from the streets, the perpetual threat of serious, catastrophic and career-ending injury virtually every time you suit up, the natural tension between management and the players/union...and toss in a whole boatload of $$$$, it's just bound to happen. It it just makes sense, really. And to sum it all up, one guy's truth is often another guy's lie. Almost forgot...Tyrod had every chance under the sun to lock down that spot, no questions asked, big money to follow and he simply did not do it. The fact that the coaching staff had to even consider benching of TT in favor of Peterman tells you all that you need to know. No hard feelings for me with TT, but he was just almost consistent/good enough to make it close, but not so good as to make it obvious. Onward.

Which means, sadly, they are profiteering off one of the hot button social issues of our time. Or, you know, leave it to George Soros and his crowd. Time will tell, but screw 'em either way.

This person strikes me as a narcissist, with an agenda carved in stone. To assume he/she is being truthful in what he/she thinks seems at odds with the part about being a coward. I think it could literally be anyone, of any political stripe, though it seems most likely to me that the NYT is readily complicit in an elaborate ruse to f with Trump.

Seriously, the death march angle, with the number of children aborted? These people are dumb as stumps, and have little sense of fashion. Orange is the new black I'm told.

And...he makes her look like a simpleton by telling her....its in the book. 15 seconds or less, and while this clip cuts her reply short, she seems to smirk, nod her head reflexively and set up her next WAUA. (Wild assed unfounded accusation)

When someone loves their country soooooo much that they will rat-%#€$ the President to shape the world in their unelected image, anonymously but not privately, all while attempting to send our electoral process into a nose dive during a SC hearing that the dems have chosen to treat like a bra/n/panties match at a WWE event, just prior to the midterms, using one of most obvious examples of left wing bias in the media, quite literally proving the point the President made before, during and after the election, well, that person is truly a patriot. I'm just thankful that this person has made it clear he's just really distasteful, and not crazy enough to blow up the world.

If you take the name out of this, and change the profession, this sounds an awful lot like a guy who thought the enterprise could not function without him, who thought management was ruining the business, who pined for the good old days and cursed progress (as viewed by the owners of the business anyway), and who had difficulty leaving his emotions at the door. In short, it's a story that plays out thousands of times, every day, across the country. I chose not not to read his columns because I didn't like his style. I thought it odd that he was offended he was asked to take a different role, but was willing to stay if Bucky stayed, but reached his limit when Bucky left. When all is said and done, man, it's sort of pathetic to me to hear a guy like this. You had choices, you were given an opportunity to stay in a new role, they offered you a buyout and you left. I'd bet a whole lot of people in America would kill for those options when their company moves in a different direction.

Damn that's funny.

Is part of the fun telling everyone that you don't have time for the fun unless you have time for it? In that case I have to pledge loyalty to the pretender king, because he cares enough to spend some time just having fun.

Now you're either misinformed or a liar. He said "I don't know everyone at that firm", asked at least 2x for context, and said something along the lines of "let me think, not as far as I can recall.". So since he said that, and you claim it would have satisfied the Tiberius litmus test as outlined above, why is that a dodge? I think Senator Harris was really unprepared, not knowing who she was asking about, when, why and where. To think she will be running for president looking like an angry lady fishing through her purse for change for the parking meter....yikes.

Kavanaugh took her to school. She is what she is in this role, rude, snarky, condescending, combative and passive aggressive. He made her look that way as he volleyed back a few times, asking for the date of an issue she brought up (leaving her scrambling with her team of 5 associates on something of supposed great importance to her questioning), answered the questions as he saw fit, adding context in spite of her interruptions demanding a simple answer to a complex question. Her supporters will cheer her, her detractors will forget when their guy dies the same thing, but at the end of the day, he looked like a very capable guy. It's a shame in the swamp that politicians will eviscerate a person, ruin them with innuendo as to racism or sexism or whatevrler.....then whine about how crazy trump is when he bypasses this freak show and just says "I think you're a dick". Buffalo Gal said something similar yesterday, and she was 100% correct.

Seems like it just sets the table for Repubs to follow similar action in the future, when a dem candidate has something really of interest in play, with a reference to CBs actions on 9/6/18.

I think what he meant was that if he suspected Obama of being a traitor. You'd have to incredibly self-absorbed to have missed the millions of people who thought, and think that Obama was a very bad man and used his authority illegally and immorally.

I'm not interested in investing all that much into a story told given the context of how it's delivered. Big studio production, big name star, huge budget with lines written up by professionals. I just want to watch a movie, and as I've gotten older, there are less and less people I'm willing to shell out money to see. I realize it's fantasy, heck even watching Chappaquiddick, hard to say anything was historically accurate other than party..girl dies..teddy flees...and that obxoxious neck donut he put on. This actually brings me back around to kaepernick, kneeling and the &$&$ing incessant desire to revisit it during a game. Snap the ball. Run the ball. Throw the ball. Kick the ball. It's football, not Face the Nation. Anyway. I wasn't aware of the kilt part. Thanks for ruining that for me, the_$&#%ing_dude. Btw, I loved the imagery of WW being disemboweled. All implied, no blood or guts, just a classic movie scene well done. Jesus...was he even disemboweled???

Plus, those aren't even the real guys. Actors. Actors in kilts. And probably not from Scotland. I love that movie. FREEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!

What a gutless approach by the Times to publish an anonymous letter of this magnitude, and while I generally disagree with the "enemy of the people" tag, the publishing of this supposed "opinion" piece comes pretty close. As for the author, well, just look for the person with the longest arms in the WH as he/she seems pretty fond of themself. I'm asked to believe the president is off his rocker, with a finger on the button, tilting the US toward a totalitarian regime, and this noble soul and other like-minded good guys go around just tidying up the room after he leaves? The world is at a crisis point and the best they can do is a heartfelt and anonymous letter to a left wing news outlet? Why wouldn't the army of formerly faithful soldiers walk out, en masse, with documents supporting their position? Why right as Kavanaugh is being considered, as the heat ratchets up on the DOJ, and with the approaching midterms just around the corner? Seems like a perfect time to save the country. Here's the deal. Trump called the media out, correctly so, and the media has all the time, funding and inclination to take him out. It's not unlike going against the mob, but while the Gambino's blast you in the face with a shotgun, the media employs the death by paper cuts approach. Thank God for Twitter.

The President nominates, silly boy, and former President Obama did just that. No outcry, no wailing at the Washington monument, and I agree with you 100% that the will of the people was served in that regard. I say that in spite of the fact that I was not a fan of then President Obama. It's unfortunate that in this case, the nomination was akin to winning the popular vote, which might provide some lasting sentimental memory, and may well go on the shelf next to the Best Smile-Right Fielder trophy from a winless little league season, but it means little in the grand scheme of things. But this boils down to understanding the rules for confirming a nominee, and it's vital for you to understand that's a crucial part of the process. I can't help you if you think nominee = confirmation. Read a book sometime. On the other hand I am ok with calling the Obama nominee "Special Nominated Honorary Justice Merrick Garland" if it would ease your pain.

100% correct, in context and no reply necessary.

You don't follow that the makeup of the Senate reflects the will of the American people? It's about the elections, silly. Lots of them, in fact.

You're confusing (deliberately or otherwise) the business of politics with the business of activism. When Merrick Garland was nominated, there were no screaming spectators, no unknown individuals aggressively approaching him in a circus-like atmosphere, nothing of the sort in fact. What happened is indisputable...the political party in control of the Senate followed the rules of the Senate and carried out the will of the American people during that snapshot in time. It happens, and it may be painful when your guy is the right guy at the wrong time, but sometimes we get what we want, sometimes we don't. Conservatives have struggled through it, liberals have been on the short end of the stick, but it is what it is. The good news for all Americans is that if all goes well with BK, it's mostly just political theater designed to rip apart the fabric of our society. Sinister, yes, but in this case, things should work out fine for us all. We do agree the dems put on a sh5tshow. We'll always have that, and that should be enough for today. There are things I like about Trump's approach, but I would prefer a more subtle leadership style. I have come to the conclusion that you are correct, and we needed this guy at this time, but there are times I still feel like I'm wearing my velcro underwear inside out.

The hearing made a mockery of the election, the process for choosing a SC justice, the respect for the family and children of the nominee, his commitment to public service and his courage for accepting the nomination. It was an absolute freakshow, with people screaming, unknown individuals with unfettered access to the nominee, and the words "Don't taze me bro" seem fitting here. It served as a reminder to me that for all the rhetoric that comes out of Trump's universe (verbal, tweeting, hot mic), much of which I find distasteful and divisive, its a tactic raised to the level of an art form by the left.

She wasn't playing Piper today. She was actually appearing as the great American Thesbian Paul Reubens, and living through his eyes as victim of the sexually repressive 80s, where a man in America could be jerk-shamed for what is likely a perfectly normal activity for many in an adult theater. She's living her truth, and that's always cool.

I just respect the hell out of ck going sans makeup here. Promotes a healthy body image for all the boys who look up to him. He's Colin Kaepardashian.

I guess that viewed it as pedestrian on nature, like a parking ticket or being added to a direct mail list. Someone once said "They think you're stupid."

Well it's clear now that Hillary and Bill were colluding with Don and Don jr. Since Obama was overseeing the unmasking of key Trump associates, thus working with Hillary, Obama was working with Hillary, Bill and Trump. Since Brennan and Clapper were working for Obama and Hillary, they were actually working with Don and Don Jr as well. Since Don and Don Jr were working with the Russians, Bill, Hillary, Barrack, Clapper, Brennan, Susan Rice et al were actually working with the Russians as well. The only person in DC we can definitely say did not work with the Russians was Seth Rich, and that's only because he was mostly dead after accdiently killing himself while carrying out a self-mugging.
