Dawg 66 is the winner of week 4 with a total of 10 wins! Conrats Dawg! Now on to week 5.

I've always said it's those at the top verses everyone else. My dad brought that point home to me when I was very young and it's worse today than it's ever been in my lifetime.

As long as those at the top can keep those below them divided there's no chance for true change. As long as they can keep the common man believing that other common men are their enemy they will always be in control.

I am in 100% agreement with you about things for common people going backwards. After decades of fighting for workers rights, the break up of monopolies and spreading power to the people, we have been moving backwards. I am in agreement that we have had leaders in the past who have pushed for and accomplished making the lives of those with less better. It doesn't seem like that's a top priority for government anymore. As much as some place a negative label on it, the very purpose of government is to "represent its people" and make the lives of its people better. Not set up rules and laws to represent the top 1% have even more of an advantage.

And it seems anyone fighting for a more even playing field for all is labeled as a communist. Since the Citizens United ruling there's even more room for corporations to influence elections and control the power structure.

Sadly in the early 30's it took a total collapse of our economy for the average American to fight back through the power of their votes. That's the extreme it took for people to see what was going on around them. As a result we found out that a strong middle class made for a strong economy.

We are starting to see that same energy among voters. We are starting to see a push back to once again reform a broken system being manipulated by a select few. That's what always happens when the pendulum swings too far in one direction. And it most certainly has.

I just hope that we don't have to go through the same fate the generation of the 30's had to go through before people wake up and realize what's happening in large enough numbers to change it before hand.

My problem with it was the fact that it's on a freaking (supposedly) "News Show" - and no it's not overtly MAGA to see Jesus. It seems more so when he's spouting stuff about Jesus being angry and like a mustang and because this was Fox News.

If 20% of people who experience near death report seeing jesus (or whichever deity they believe in I assume) -- then Gabe isn't exactly news is he? I heard a good analogy that applies - if a dog bites a man, it's not news. Its an every day occurance. Man bites dog would be newsworthy.... so 200,000 + near death experiences each year in just America - 20% of them see jesus or some other deity. It's not really news. Maybe I just suspect or expect an agenda in portraying jesus as a fiery angry dude, maybe I expect Fox or it's viewers to then suggest Jesus is angry because of these damned sinful and Un-American communists in the country, and all those Trans people...

I would suggest this may be longer with injuries; before the end of the year, the number of QB's injured and the severity of each injury will determine who is playable/out and for how long. Some clubs are having headaches with their declared starters, much less than the second, third, or other alternate starters. DW has proven to be a surprise. Small favor, that, but the alternative is not brilliant. That market for a quality starter in a picked over market for QB could be challenging, especially with playoffs' imperatives.

After four games who is DW?

I think a good part of that question lies with Monken.

This is a new coaching staff learning on the job what their players can do best.

DW mobility is a big factor. He has shown he can escape and create. The passing TDs have come off those types of plays.

Another factor is developing chemistry with young receivers. DW is finding Boston and KC. He has confidence in them. So far Fannin, Boston and KC have become go to guys for Watson.

The OL has not been perfect but they have performed way better than the trash of last year.

The offense is young and learning together. For the Browns to be 3-1 during this process is damn near a miracle.

DW is playing better than anyone expected. He deserves credit. Given all that has transpired doing what he is doing now is no simple task.

well, down 0-2 with the next two games on the road is a tough task. Bummer to give up the lead last night

NFL suspends officials Jeff Seeman, Adrian Hill for conduct toward players

The NFL has suspended line judge Jeff Seeman for two games and referee Adrian Hill for one game as punishment for instances of unprofessional conduct toward a player.

NFL Vice President of Officiating Ramon George issued the suspensions.

Seeman was caught on camera apparently cursing at Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride during Sunday's 36-24 loss to the New York Giants.

McBride felt he was interfered with by Giants cornerback Dru Phillips on a third-and-8 pass from quarterback Jacoby Brissett that fell incomplete. McBride got hit and complained to Seeman, who appeared to yell a profanity at McBride, according to video of the incident.

After the McBride incident, NFLPA Executive Director J.C. Tretter posted a statement on X that called for the same scrutiny of officials as for players.

"This kind of behavior from an official towards a player is unacceptable. Players are consistently held accountable when roles are reversed. We expect the NFL to hold officials to the same standard," Tretter wrote.

Hill's incident involved Minnesota Vikings linebacker Eric Wilson in their 15-10 win over the visiting Miami Dolphins.

Wilson was pushed into Hill by Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II midway through the first quarter after a third-and-10 play was whistled dead because of a Minnesota penalty. Gordon drove Wilson away from quarterback Malik Willis and right into Hill, who was knocked down. As Wilson tried to help him up, Hill jumped up while pointing and yelling at Wilson to get away.

Wilson said he laughed off the incident with Hill.

"That was funny, honestly," Wilson told reporters in the Vikings' locker room. "I ended up apologizing to him and explained the situation. He was cool about it. He understood what was going on. He just said he didn't want us fighting, me and [Gordon]. He said he was just trying to break us up."

Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said he didn't get a great view of the play, but did defend Hill as an official in the league.

"I think Adrian's a really good official and does a really good job," O'Connell said Monday. "And I think that was just kind of a fast moment that happened and we can put it behind us hopefully."

If it doesnt fit you dont have to argue it!

...on this site. (Though I'd complete that thought for you...lol). Actually, posting on here could be a full time job, perhaps unpaid though.

I like Rockabilly. Two of my favs, the great Johnny Cash and Marty Stewart.

hoping the injury isn't as serious as first thought. That would be a break

Thats a fact

Love that dude. From last week...

So trump's FCC goes after talk shows over equal time of political parties and then trump says this........

Trump says ‘MAGA and REAL Patriots’ will never like Fox News over hosting Democrats

President Trump on Wednesday went after Fox News over hosting Democrats on its network, with the president saying “MAGA, and REAL Patriots will never like Fox!”

“Why does FoxNews always put Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Jessica Tarlov, and every Democrat on, saying bad things about the Republican Party and, of course, me?” the president said in a Wednesday afternoon Truth Social post.

“I actually think they get more airtime than Pro Republicans. This is why MAGA, and REAL Patriots, will never like Fox! They repeat a completely negative narrative, on and on it goes, and then we get a quick retort. It’s truly amazing that I won all three Elections,” he added, repeating his false claim that he won the 2020 presidential election.

Trump has a long history of attacking the media and press outlets, but Fox News has a history of being praised by the president, and he has also hired former Fox News personalities for his administration.

Last month, Trump went after “Fox News Sunday” anchor Shannon Bream because of on-air guests, charts and polls he claimed did not show off successful actions by his administration.

“In any event, Shannon’s ‘show’ is beyond redemption. Fortunately, MAGA, which is close to 100% of the Republican Party, understands that, and watch her ‘Ratings’ start to fall,” Trump said on Truth Social at the time.

“Chris Wallace was bad, but Shannon is even worse,” he added, referring to her predecessor.

Fox News is also one of the major TV networks that rotate covering the president for wider media distribution and recently said it would not do so after Trump barred three media outlets from the White House earlier this month.

So Trump's own FCC launches punitive threats against what they claim to be the left wing news media for not giving equal time to Republicans on one hand. Then trump himself lambastes a conservative network tor giving Democrats equal time. Yet from people who support trump they act like this is no big deal and never mention it.

They're saying her marriage had gone to Schmitt after she went to the theater. Bryon Noem, her estranged husband said he is just thankful she didn't kill the family dog..... yet.

My prayers and support to you OCD. My poor wife went through this so I've unfortunately seen it firsthand. Stay positive and keep fighting!!

Somebody certainly Schmitt the bed on that one!

RIP GM.
