Better take two bullets, just in case there is a Dan Carpenter moment.

+1. Consistently good takes.

Damn, I'm fifty-two. Guess I can only wear jeans one more year. Bummer.

Agree with your hope. This is spot on.

Not sure Kane has the discipline to dial it back. It would be great if he could be more prudent in his aggression.

Selectively petty and sensitive. You can still routinely paint the entire South as bigoted and get away with it. Christians are actually victims of genocide in the Middle East right now, but hardly anyone knows about it or says anything. The possibility that some drunk fans made a poor joke about Muslims, however, provokes outrage.

I think the fans should sing the national anthem whenever the 49ers have the ball. Kaep will have to keep taking a knee.

Well, I think it implicitly draws in the political context. It's asking a lot in an election year for the kind of abstract neutrality that is hypothetically posed. And I rather doubt it would be an issue if Rex had not aligned himself with Trump.

Well, move this one then if its so divisive. I haven't made any specific comments on politics. I've only noted that the OP is obviously meant to be centered around a political context.

Okay, so don't post a thread that is political. It's ridiculous to be offended when people respond in kind.

I think this is the main point. The Bills seem to like Rex. Showing up on victory Mondays or whatever they are called implies cohesion as a team and enthusiasm to excel. all the rest is silliness.

The OP is about a topic that is intrinsically tied to a political context. People are naturally going to comment in those terms. Either the thread should be moved to the forum you desire so that your feelings are kept safe or one should man up.

Unclear how fielding an unproductive offense enhances one's own future opportunities.

I hate fantasy football. I actually won a league years ago and felt compelled to stay another year so the other fellas would have a chance to beat me. Fortunately, I lost in the championship game and retired. It was no fun watching football with an eye on all the other games for individual performances. I just want to root for my team and against the enemy. Simple and much more rewarding. I almost feel there is something vaguely unethical in the way fantasy football destroys rooted loyalties.

This is almost completely wrong. Alexander will not get benched the way he is playing. Z. Brown will likely be extended before the end of the year if he keeps playing like he is. Lawson will be rotated in. Players will be fresh. With Brown's speed, you could use him as a third safety monster type. No one is going to let that kind of talent walk when he is showing he is one of the most productive players on the team. Ragland may end up replacing P. Brown eventually. Who knows, but luckily DW knows defense.

Nicely done.

I don't see Meyer leaving Ohio State. I think McDaniels might do better with his second team.

Don't see why Chan would make a lateral move from the Jets, but I like Patricia as a head coach candidate.

I dunno. Who is supposed to have initiated it, Whaley?

I feel the same way, but I am deeply disappointed that it seems the season is over two games in. Pegula better take his time and get it right. Also, so long as we are going to be bad, let's find a way to get Deshuan Watson. Don't want to see him in a Brown's uniform.

+1 .

Kudos for the Daniel Boone reference. I think this is an inside joke for the get off my lawn crowd, though. I almost think half the allure and hype of this player was the name. I think there's a much better chance Jerel Worthy turns out to be the player who has a renaissance with a second chance team.

But . . . but . . . the instant gratification society wants to know NOW.

1. Goodwin -- he will stay healthy and establish the deep threat that will allow Sammy to be moved to variable positions x,y, and z, as well as create more running room after the initial point of contact. 2. Caitlyn Jenner -- the glorification of the trangender movement, aside from any perhaps legitimate issues of gender dysphoria, is at base a radical rejection of natural norms. Nature is conceived as a neutral being lacking inherent value. What can be measured and weighed is "objective and real" following the lead of Galileo, Newton, and Descartes, whilst aesthetic and moral judgements are treated as purely subjective and therefore outside a criteria that can be "imposed" from the outside. Any form of heteronomy is understood to be a from of fascist coercion. This is partly a legacy of Kant, but it has been radicalized, popularized, and dumbed down so that any judgement of "aberration" is now bigoted and any form of eccentricity is now a heroic gesture towards freedom and self-expression, so long as overt violence towards others is avoided. The banal cultural truism that enjoins the Caitlyn Jenner effect is an intensified version of "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." One cannot call Andy Warhol a clever sophist for marketing kitsch consumerism or Marcel Duchamp's urinal a joke at the expense of intellectual pretension or the endless egoism of the selfie generation a narcissistic indulgence of the vulgarly shallow; one must celebrate it or be deemed a narrow and provincial moralist. 3. Chariots of Fire 4. Jack Kemp to Charley Ferguson with 28 seconds left to beat the Patriots in 1963. Old school helmets and last minute defeat of the Pats before the era of privileged, whiny cheating. 5. Conservatives on PBS?

Encouraged by Zimmer. Wonderful write up, per usual. You're a pre-season tradition. Thanks so much.
