I have made a few posts in which I commented on the situation with Ultra Processed foods, how they are killing us (or shortening our lives) and how essentially about 8 mega food companies supply/control over 50% of what we eat. I even said that it'll come to be the tabacco story of the future with food execs knowing exactly what they were doing and sought profit and growth at the expense of human health.

It'll be interesting to see if this issue becomes political like, for example, the environment.

San Francisco files landmark lawsuit, comparing ultra-processed food companies to 'big tobacco'
The city argues ultra-processed foods have led to a health care crisis.

Unfortunately, there is no one magic formula that always works. What worked one time might not work the next time. You have to try to work with what's available and constantly adapt to changing circumstances. Sometimes what's available isn't good enough. Sometimes athletes get hurt by the constant mashing each other. There's not some set in stone checklist one can follow to guarantee everything works out perfectly every time.

Not every team can have an MVP caliber QB. 32 of those guys don't all exist in their prime at the same time. Without one, it's an uphill battle.

It's hard to evolve or adjust when your QBs struggle with the basics and your OL is not quite held together by duct tape.

If there’s a QB we like when we pick we have to take him. We can’t mess around with this. I just hope that we don’t have to use our other number 1 to move up. Obviously where we end up will be very important.

It definitely plays a huge factor in why they're so dangerous.

That is all I hope for.

Once the draft order is known. That is when I am going to do a deep dive into film study on the top five guys.

I feel pretty good about Moore, Mendoza and Simpson. All three show good qualities.

I do not see the Browns moving on from Berry and Stefanski after this season. Mainly due to the Watson deal. With the cap issues the Browns job will not be very attractive right now for any GM or Head Coach. Berry, Stefanski, and Haslam all know this. I do think the Browns are planning on taking cap hits in 2026 for Njoku, Teller, and Bitinio this year since much of that will be covered by Watson's insurance policy. Then in 2027 the remainder of the Watson deal will get applied to the cap. Either in dead cap if he is cut after June 1 next year of him remaining on the team in 2027 until his deal expires. After that point the Browns would become a much more desirable job for a new GM and Coach if Berry or Stefanski have not turned the titanic around yet. Another reason they will more than likely go all in on a QB in next year's draft. Solving the QB situation is there only hope with a young roster and about to get younger yet in 2026 with 10 scheduled draft picks and more than likely a couple more undrafted free agents playing key roles next year.

Tomlin would be a great get for the Browns as a franchise if for nothing else to create the culture needed to be consistent winners. Let's face it year in year out winning records even with first round playoff loses would get you a statue built outside the new stadium. I think if the Browns were to move on from anyone it would be Stefanski since they have Jim Schwartz in house and he would be the likely next coach of the Browns at this point.

When Trump calls Somalis “garbage,” I respond: how many Somalis are in the Epstein files?

People who never go to the grocery store and never write their own checks because accountants do it for them, have no idea of what every day costs are. And when they surround themselves with a bunch of kiss azzes who agree with everything they say it's almost impossible to convince them of the reality that exists outside of their little bubble. Being an extreme narcissist doesn't help matters either.

WASHINGTON—Calling it “maybe the greatest honor in the world, quite frankly,” Donald J. Trump said on Wednesday that the International Criminal Court in The Hague has invited him to receive an award.

“They said it was in response to things I’ve done as president,” Trump told reporters. “It will probably be some kind of medal or maybe a gleaming gold trophy.”

Trump revealed that he will not be The Hague’s sole honoree, noting, “They also invited Pete. They said he deserves special recognition.”

Calling The Hague invitation “much better than a stupid Nobel,” Trump quipped, “They never invited Obama!”

I will add I probably keep Bitonio as a legacy player

Oh yeah….and Biden……pffft

Money, money, moonney. Follow it and we will be enlightened.

Really another DPOTY for MG coming up!

I've been following Kangaroo Black for a few years now. I'm not a bama fan, but he is one entertaining guy who isn't afraid tell it like it is. As you can tell, he also hates Xichigan.

Cavs have gone the way of the Browns. Soft, no heart.

Their leader takes games off so he doesn't get tired later in the season. They act like every game doesn't matter. Then later in the season he gets tired and hurt and will miss the most important games of a series as if it's no big deal. Sitting on the sidelines in street clothes acting like a cheerleader. There's a reason Shaq has never been a Mitchell fan. Other players know. People in the know, know. And this team takes on the unserious personality of their leader.

That and believing Mobley was ever going to be the best player on this team are the two biggest problems with the Cavs.

They lost to a depleted Celtics team tonight. Gave up over 40 points to Pritchard. That's not a typo. Really disheartening.

I want a refund on my league pass.

I totally understand.

In November 2025, a Senate resolution (S.Res. 486) specifically reaffirming that "criticism of the President is not only lawful but essential to democracy" was blocked by a Republican senator using a procedural objection.

The resolution was introduced by Senator Edward Markey (D-Mass.) after President Trump suggested on social media that commentary criticizing him was "probably illegal".

Details of the Event:

The Resolution: S.Res. 486 aimed to condemn the President's suggestion and reaffirm the fundamental importance of free speech under the Constitution.

The Action: Senator Markey sought unanimous consent to pass the resolution quickly in the Senate. Unanimous consent is a procedural move that allows a measure to pass so long as no senator objects.

The Objection: Senator Rick Scott (R-Fla.) objected to the unanimous consent request, thereby blocking the immediate passage of the resolution. No argument was reportedly made against the resolution itself, but the objection prevented a quick, broadly supported vote.

Context: This incident is part of a larger ongoing political debate regarding the limits of free speech and political dissent, especially in response to comments made by the President and the subsequent threats faced by the lawmakers involved. Other Republicans, such as Senator Rand Paul, have publicly criticized the President's rhetoric as "reckless, inappropriate, irresponsible".

This specific incident involved a procedural maneuver that prevented a vote on the resolution, rather than a recorded vote against the substance of the bill by the entire Republican caucus.

Murica! Freedumb!

I hope all you turkeys had a Great Thanksgiving.

The truth escapes you.
