    Dude was Rooney Ruled across the league. Zero teams had any legitimate interest in him apart from the dysfunctional Falcons.

    Hiring Raheem Morris was an absolute joke. He was hired because TF wanted someone who wouldn't vie for control. Morris wasn't getting a chance as a HC anywhere else so he'd agree to basically anything TF said. We basically hired him BECAUSE he's a bad HC.

    Second ('Third') Trump Presidency Thread

    Thethe, I'd like to gain a little perspective here. Can you tell me 5 things you don't like about Trump? It could be positions he's taken, people he's nominated, executive orders issued, or even stuff in his personal life. Just write a list of 5 things you don't like about him. If you can't...

    Movie Thread

    Different monologues hit differently. The Gladiator and Taken monologues are great revenge fantasy speeches. The Taken monologue was awesome when it came out and became a meme due to how it infiltrated the culture. I love the Jaws Indianapolis monologue. Jaws is a perfect movie and one of my...

    You can hit big at any point in the draft. I'm more referring to your standard second rounders. When you draft a guy in the second you're not expecting star, you're expecting solid starter. The dropoff from Carter to what you expect out of a second round DT is a lot bigger than Bijan to your...

    The scene where Maximus takes off his helmet and does the monologue to the emperor is one of my favorites. It's up there with Liam Neeson on the phone in Taken.

    Bijan has been great but the difference between him and a second round RB isn't all that big. The difference between Carter and a second round DT is massive. The character concerns for Carter were over blown. He did something stupid in street racing but if that's an epidemic now in college...

    Second ('Third') Trump Presidency Thread

    Have you gone to RFKs organization's site? It's absolutely bonkers. Take away the science (that completely refutes their positions), just the number of logical fallacies they tout as proof is stunning. Their chief argument against vaccines is that diagnoses of chronic illnesses in children have...

    Second ('Third') Trump Presidency Thread

    I fully expect the guy who runs an anti-vax organization to continue his campaign against vaccinations as head of the HHS. I doubt he's competent enough to be terribly successful but still. Ask yourself honestly, if Biden had nominated him for this post, how would you feel? Would you commend...

    So RFK Jr is going to run the HHS. This is awesome! The first step on our journey to back to a 30% infant mortality rate! Gotta get rid of all those vaccines keeping our kids from getting easily prevented childhood illnesses. Winning!

    Braves Aquire IF Nick Allen for Jared Johnson

    I don't get the point of this trade. Allen has been below replacement level over the past two years. Guys like him aren't hard to find even mid season.

    Second ('Third') Trump Presidency Thread

    I've never understood people getting excited and fanboying over a politician. I didn't get it with Obama, I didn't get it with people freaking out over Harris, and I don't get it with Trump. Politicians should be viewed with suspicious bordering on contempt. These people are asking you to give...

    The War to Settle the Score - Election Day 2024

    Judging by some stuff I'm reading, the lesson learned will be to double down and pull farther left. The lesson should be to center their campaign on issues that are important to people and take positions on them with wide appeal. If you're struggling to pay for groceries you're not really...

    The War to Settle the Score - Election Day 2024

    I've been reading post mortems of the election from liberals. There's a common thread I'm finding that the left will have to get away from to win consistently. Democratic candidates and pundits too often try to cast groups as single issue voters. White women? They're being called traitors...

    Brutal no calls on the two points conversion attempt by the Bengals. It's difficult to believe the refs just missed multiple obvious penalties on that play.

    The War to Settle the Score - Election Day 2024

    This is true. I'll add that the policy they did talk about didn't resonate with people. The Dems went heavy on abortion which, according to one poll, was the top issue of only 14% of people. The economy is virtually always the top issue and this year was no different. Inflation has eaten...
