Yeah that was what I saw at Florida State. We've discussed it before. If you've played or just watched a lot of hoops you see it. It's not all bad. One of the reasons he's so great with YAC is because that close proximity and his feel for the contact prevents DB's from being able to break down to tackle him. That definitely, naturally plays better from the slot. By contrast, Davante Adams mixes up his game by threatening DB's using close proximity for those embarrassing back shoulder and late hands catches........the fear of those allows him to set them up and create separation on others. Coleman was a long way away from doing anything like that at the end of the season though. There is a horrible offensive series in second quarter of the AFCCG where Allen throws a tick behind Kincaid and he can't make the semi-contested catch, then Allen throws an ankle ball to a wide open Samuel who is less than 10 air yards away.............and then on 3rd and long Coleman runs a just terrible, brain-dead go route down the sideline right into McDuffie and the drive is over. All the Bills problems in the passing game exposed in one sequence. That was probably my lowest point in the Coleman experience last year. My hope is he comes back a greatly changed player. A full, healthy offseason to focus on football leaves little excuse for him to not make huge strides.

The irony? MAGA’s still coming to terms with the fact that they’ve become exactly what they feared - the deep state.

Yeah, they lost Joe Burrow for the season in early November 2023. Injuries and a slow start derailed them early. They were one of the hottest teams in the league down the stretch. One of only a couple that I truly feared us playing. In large part bc of their Offensive firepower.

While Cook's leverage may not be as good as next season, the motivation to hold out is because his numbers won't be better. The Bills plan is to use Cook the same as last season, and the same RB room is back intact. TDs are kind of a fluke, and Cook may not get as many as last year. For those who play FF you would not expect much, if any, increase in points. So the fear for me is if you believe the above ,what is the reason for playing this year? The "hold-in" for 11 games and get the money you would based on last years numbers - should get you over $12m/yr and a big pile of guaranteed money (around $20M). Sacrafice most of the $5M now (and risk of injury) for the payday next year.

Law prof Steve Vladeck (read his Substack! He's great. Written for lawyers but understandable by informed non-lawyers) provides a little sanity here: There are a lot of misunderstandings and misinformation out there about what Trump has and hasn’t done, and given that I’ve covered these topics before, it seemed worth a quick explainer on why this move is a big deal—but why it also is not as drastic an escalation (or abuse) as many had feared, at least not yet. The TL;DR here is that Trump has not (yet) invoked the Insurrection Act, which means that the 2000 additional troops that will soon be brought to bear will not be allowed to engage in ordinary law enforcement activities without violating a different law—the Posse Comitatus Act. All that these troops will be able to do is provide a form of force protection and other logistical support for ICE personnel. Whether that, in turn, leads to further escalation is the bigger issue (and, indeed, may be the very purpose of their deployment). But at least as I’m writing this, we’re not there yet. That's a critical point. Right now, the National Guard troops cannot engage in law enforcement activities. They are limited to a support role. Use of the Insurrection Act would bring us into a whole new era. Let's hope we don't get there. https://www.stevevladeck.com/p/156-federalizing-the-california-national

Trump is following the authoritarian playbook very well. He's successfully created an "enemy" in all people of Hispanic or Latin American origin. He's pushed them with his ICE gestapo to fight back. It works because old people and rurals are terrified of change. They fear anything different. Now, he's got a route to start crushing protests with the military. This will lead to more protests, which Trump can then use more troops on. Eventually, he's going to have a route to use the Insurrection Act and really crack down. How funny that the party of "small government" cheers it on! It will be rough. But liberalism will win. It always does.

How adorable that the side of small government now supports using the military against its own people. That ship has long sailed. You are what Reagan feared.

Happy Birthday!!! I fear the complete lack of visibility now is not a good signal relative to her recovery. So sad that life can be cruel sometimes. Prayers for her.

What the Media Won’t Dare Show You About the Anti-ICE Riots Sarah Arnold Here’s the truth, and the truth you won’t get from watching mainstream media about the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles: Democrat leaders have completely abandoned law enforcement while emboldening criminal illegal immigrants and demonizing the Trump administration and federal authorities trying to keep American communities safe. While streets turned violent and federal officers were under attack on Saturday, Democrat politicians stayed silent, or worse, blamed the chaos on those trying to uphold the law. However, don’t expect CNN or The New York Times to report that. With local and state officials refusing to do their jobs, President Donald Trump was once again forced to step in and take matters into his own hands by calling in the National Guard to fight back against the violent protestors. In one incident posted on social media, anti-ICE protestors can be seen attempting to pull federal agents from their vehicles while throwing objects at them. {snip} However, this is what the leftist media, such as MSNBC, will report on. During Saturday's live coverage, MSNBC's Jacob Soboroff accused ICE of "striking fear into the heart of people all throughout this community." He said people are "very" upset that President Donald Trump is following through on his promises by removing criminal illegal immigrants from American communities. According to him, Trump’s deportation efforts are met with intolerance on the streets of Los Angeles, where ICE raids are seen as unnecessary tactics to create chaos and fear. He claimed the raids target "ordinary" people, spreading a "massive" sense of fear. (Sounds like what Roundy and Thurmal are parroting, no ?) https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharnold/2025/06/07/what-the-media-wont-show-you-regarding-the-anti-ice-riots-n2658374

I did read it, and several others as well None of them actually seem to name the role or specifically define the scope other than some hand wringing about him have a leadership role and "overseeing" something. I'm not arguing that it's a good idea, but rather that it's probably not quite what it seems and is more fear mongering.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/los-angeles-ice-raids-spark-protests-fear-outrage-our-community-is-under-attack/ar-AA1GfpRF This doesn't look like America. It looks like fascism.

Curious why domestic abuse isn’t listed on the charges unless it’s because the fearful wife withdrew the claim or statute has passed? Either way, I’m considering just jumping ship and registering independent (well I’m in CA, so NPP). Can’t take the fake outrage over this piece of trash and a laundry list of other things.

I found the language barrier to be intimidating before going to Europe the first time, but my first trip was on a small cruise ship. The cruise aspect with the side excursions booked made me feel more comfortable. I quickly realized my fears were greatly overblown. As one of my sisters said, “You know what I see most of in Europe? Other tourists.” The places we traveled are generally geared to serving us in exchange for our euros. My SIL used to take college kids on trips to Europe for Penn State. She worked with a French lady who splits her time between Paris and NYC and got all the agendas worked out. This lady knows the ropes and we had an amazing trip. I don’t know how much extra that’s cost was on the Paris/Italy trip, but I’d say it was well worth it.

Ok guess I’m in the minority, but I believe if they’re able to protect him I that he can definitely compete for a wildcard. Rodgers numbers last year were decent, especially considering the organization he did it with. Steelers aren’t striking fear into the AFC contenders with this signing, but they could definitely cause some issues within their own division if they can protect.

My fear is too often when these guys sit out, then they finally show and get hurt real quick. So how much will he help if he's hurt and then leaves in the off season anyway.

There should be but logistically it would be really hard to pull off as undocumented immigrant workers would fear being deported. Yup. The illegal immigrants by and large do the jobs that we don't want to and many employers take advantage of paying them under the table (42% of undocumented workers in NYS make below minimum wage). We also wouldn't have enough workers to fill those spots if every illegal alien was suddenly deported. It really should be a multifaceted approach of beefing up border security, increasing punishment on employers that exploit illegal immigrants, and somehow do what @Roundyboutsuggested. It's not going to happen though.

My biggest this if he's not in TC is that he may be in great shape...but won't be in football shape when the season starts. Just from memory I can think of a lot of guys that held out all or a portion of the off-season workouts and TCs theat end up playing with soft tissue injuries during the season. Yes we need him, but we need him healthy and ready to roll. Otherwise, I fear we see his name on the injury report all season long and see a less physical version of him in games.

I suppose that's fair. I just feel like simply stating "Dalvin held out the Offseason" doesn't tell the whole story. For as much vitriol and/or fear of a serious holdout people have towards James's situation and comparisons being made to his brother, implicating a bad influence - Dalvin never held out so much as a single Training Camp practice. Even when he was openly saying he was going to hold out, which James hasn't.

ACTUALLY, I PROBABLY WILL: You Won’t Believe the Media’s Excuse for Trump’s Good Economic Poll Numbers Matt Margolis On Monday, CNN poll analyst Harry Enten delivered a reality check to the Democratic Party. Despite months of nonstop attacks on Donald Trump’s economic policies, the latest polling shows Republicans still hold a clear edge on the issue that matters most to voters, particularly the economy. Enten pointed out that back in November 2023, Republicans led Democrats by 11 points on which party voters trusted more on economic issues. Fast forward to now, and even after Biden loyalists spent a year trying to rewrite the narrative, the GOP still leads by eight points. And it’s not just one poll. In fact, Reuters/Ipsos shows the Republican lead on having the better economic plan has grown from nine points last year to twelve points today. “How is that possible, Democrats?” Enten asked, exasperated. He ran down the list — recession fears, the stock market, tariffs, inflation — and still came up short. The answer, of course, is simple: The American people aren’t buying the left’s economic spin anymore. Remember when they tried to blame Trump for high egg prices — even though those prices started plummeting as soon as he returned to office? Or when they claimed Trump’s tariffs would drive inflation — and inflation dropped instead? The Democrats are losing this argument because real-world results are blowing up their talking points. Enten’s most devastating point, though, wasn’t about polling margins. It was about identity. “They have traditionally been the party of the middle class. No more,” he said bluntly. That’s the real bombshell. Democrats have lost the one thing that used to anchor their brand: the perception that they were the champions of working Americans. That mantle now belongs to Trump and the GOP. Naturally, the Democrats' allies in the media can’t handle this. https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/06/03/you-wont-believe-the-medias-excuse-for-trumps-good-poll-numbers-n4940391

Oh rest assured, 100% of the fear distribution is with the mousy prey. You have entered a lion’s den that is the history of political philosophy. This is well within my PURRRview. I FEEL I KNow a very significant amount on this topic. And my legendary posting stamina can render you CATatonic. I don’t KNEAD to massage your ego, either, as your predictable fate was of your own volition. So now hear ME OUt: 1. This is the consensus opinion of credible academic historians, based on all sorts of well-researched evidence. You’re overruling them?? 2. There are many versions of socialism, but all with one common denominator: workers owning the means of production. I reject your rejection. 3. Yes, branding, which is quite distinct from ACTUALLY BEING. 4. No, that was a reference to the fact that the Nazis quickly moved to crush all political opposition soon after taking control. Hitler offered no approach to socialism (see: point #2). He governed in accordance with fascism. I’m sure some of his early supporters who wanted socialism also liked his ultranationalism, calls for a strong centralized government, and hatred of Jews. None of that, however, are necessary features of socialism. Again…I know plenty of actual card-carrying DSA members. They all seem to be anti-nationalists, federalists, and humanists of some type. << Narrator: Kay carefully licks the backs of her hands, saunters over to a corner of her bedroom, curls up in a curious ball, and proceeds to sleep for the next eighteen hours. >>

Not really "follies" more like Biden administration corruption. Another Huge Biden Scandal Is About to Blow Up Matt Margolis Another Biden scandal is blowing up—this time in East Palestine, Ohio. Newly uncovered emails reveal that the Biden administration knew cancer-causing toxins may have been released into the community following a catastrophic train derailment, even as officials publicly claimed everything was under control. The disaster began on Feb. 3, 2023, when a Norfolk Southern freight train carrying hazardous materials derailed and burst into flames near the small Ohio town. Among the wreckage were five railcars filled with vinyl chloride—a highly flammable, cancer-causing chemical. Fearing an explosion, authorities ordered evacuations and carried out a so-called “controlled release,” sending a toxic plume into the air and blanketing the area in chemicals the Biden administration knew would pose serious long-term health risks, but the Biden White House nevertheless assured residents they were safe, downplaying the risks and stonewalling concerns in what now looks like a blatant cover-up. “The occurrence of a cancer-cluster in EP [East Palestine] is not zero,” FEMA recovery leader James McPherson wrote in a March 29, 2024 email to other public health officials—more than a year after the toxic train derailment rocked the community. “As you all are aware, the first 48 hours of the fire created a really toxic plume.” The Biden administration infamously refused to provide federal assistance for the environmental disaster… until after President Trump announced his plan to visit East Palestine. A week after the disaster, FEMA’s website did not list it as a disaster and Joe Biden had made no declaration either. In fact, a local TikToker accused the Biden administration of coving up the horrors of the train derailment. “It is so much worse than what the media is telling any of us,” she said. “I’m getting reports from people that are down there right now, that they’re literally seeing schools of fish floating down streams, rivers, f—ing dead.” The Biden administration may have hoped the people of East Palestine would quietly suffer and eventually forget—but they won’t, and neither will the Trump administration. This scandal, like so many others from the Biden years, is not going to be buried under a pile of bureaucratic emails and government spin. The truth will come out. From the toxic chemical plume to the deliberate public deception, every bit of it will be exposed. The American people deserve answers, and under Trump’s leadership, they’re going to get them. Accountability is coming. https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/06/01/another-huge-biden-scandal-is-blowing-up-n4940344

Aww, look a retired nurse crying on a message board about Pride Month. They can’t handle the chaos drowning them, so they cling to tired distractions like a security blanket. Acting like being gay is some new threat, while ignoring Trump and Epstein’s well-documented crimes or Trump rolling out the red carpet for the Tate brothers. Truth is their kryptonite. They blame the border, but Trump is letting pedophiles and notorious drug cartels cross unchecked. They refuse to face reality. Pride Month isn’t the problem ignorance and fear are.

Ah yes, the adults are back - the ones who brought us record deficits, reality show politics, and policy via tweet. Spare us the fantasy novel about Guatemalan antelopes and ‘God-fearing patriots.’ What you’re describing isn’t leadership, it’s a culture war tantrum dressed up as governance. If this is what ‘adults’ look like, it’s no wonder the country’s exhausted.
