Ah, yes.

IIRC, it was never likely he would ever play out his original contract without a restructure. Regardless is he played like he did, or was everything he was supposed to be on the field, his contract would've made it difficult to field a competitive team, much less pay Garrett and Ward and others.

Oof. That sucks. Hopefully we get some guys back and at least the D can get some positive momentum going. The lingering injuries on the D are scary right now.

Sorry, Todd. It is a factor. You’ll find out.

I can't wait. I mean, I have to, obviously. I'm a very emotional person. When my daughter and son in law told my parents, one of the questions my mom had was "what did your dad say?" Daughter said "he cried" And my mom said "Well, he's always been the most emotional of our kids."

But keeping it silent, until daughter and son in law had told everyone they wanted to, on their schedule, was tough.

This is all like a bad dream.

They cannot get out of their own way.

Five years of DW drama.

How is it "entirely different"? Do you think people from Manhattan are suddenly going to flock to the ghetto to do their grocery shopping to save a little money?

I find it hilarious that people are throwing such a fit because people in poor neighborhoods are being provided with grocery stores that the free market wasn't providing them. If the free market was providing these grocery stores New York wouldn't have to. It's not like New York is building grocery stores right next to Publix and Whole Foods and running them out of business. But I get it. For some people business is more important than people.

Old School, When i was a kid I remember ABC Wide World Of Sports Superstars. Greg Pruitt was always on there lifting weights and competing in all the events. Cant ever forget the Master of the Tear Away Jersey. Loved Greg Pruitt.

I am willing to risk it. Most of us would sit the bench for half the money! Loletc.

yeah I think football guys can lose it very quickly just because of the nature of the game. Guys like Amari Cooper can go from dominance to nothing within a year

Yeah, this one gets it's own thread.

Not really an accurate statement as of right now.


Lowest approval ever recorded Harry Truman 22% (Feb. 1952)
2nd-lowest approval Richard Nixon 24% (1974)
Highest disapproval recorded George W. Bush 71% disapprove (Oct. 2008)
Lowest average approval over a completed presidency Donald Trump, first term 41.1%
2nd-lowest average Joe Biden 42.2%

Nothing has really ever changed for me, either at home or work.

Sorry to hear about the job Purp - hoping you end up on the better side of that one, which I'm sure will happen


Maybe we can plan something for the 21st reunion

And to further muddy the waters Kushner said the talks with Iran that trump said they are not having were ongoing and "robust".

Kushner: US having robust talks with the Iranians, but they’re not ready to make deal we want

18 August 2026, 12:29 am

US special envoy Jared Kushner says conversations between the US and different areas of the Iranian government have probably been more robust than ever, but the two sides have not yet reached an understanding.

So let's try to keep up here shall we?

First they claimed there were back channel talks which were then claimed by trump not to have happened which Kushner said were robust?

I'm going to have to invest in a new lie counter. My last one broke from overuse.

BATTLE 2

I think he is hospice at home and the next thing we will hear is about his passing.

I suppose one could say that. I was raised that by omitting the truth made it a lie. But that's when I lived in America and not trumplandia. I have no idea what the new rules are.

So you claim the entire population of Gaza celebrated the acts of Hamas in October? Or was it a select minority of the citizens of Gaza you saw? You try to use an election held in 2006 as your excuse? You do realize that Hamas has not allowed an election since then, right? And you do realize that children don't have the right to vote. That means that anyone who was under the age of 18 in 2006 hasn't ever been able to vote.

It's strange that any Christian would try so hard to find excuses to kill innocent people. What part of the Bible did you get that from?

You fail to see innocent people because you refuse to look and don't want to see them.

Supreme Court rejects final Trump appeal of $5 million E. Jean Carroll verdict

Carroll has received the money in the 2023 case, her representatives said.

The Supreme Court on Monday declined a request from President Donald Trump to reconsider its rejection of his appeal in the 2023 E. Jean Carroll case.

The decision means it's the end of the line for Trump's bid to overturn a $5 million jury award to Carroll, which the writer's representatives said was paid in July.

The Court did not explain its decision and there were no noted dissents. No request for a rehearing has been granted since the 1960s.

A jury determined in 2023 that Trump was liable for sexually abusing Carroll, a former Elle magazine columnist, in the dressing room of a Manhattan department store in the 1990s, and that he defamed her in a 2022 social media post by calling her allegations "a Hoax and a lie" and saying "This woman is not my type!"

In 2024, following a separate trial, Trump was ordered to pay $83.3 million in damages to Carroll for defaming her in 2019 when he denied her allegations of sexual abuse.

Trump, who denies any wrongdoing, is continuing to appeal that judgment with a petition to the justices currently pending. They are expected to decide later this year whether or not to take up the case.

In his appeal, Trump alleges that his 2019 comments about Carroll -- which were later found to be defamatory -- were "official" statements as president and therefore immune from use in a legal case against him.

So in Trumplandia making derogatory statements about a woman involved in a personal lawsuit with you are "official" statements as president?

And the beat goes on......

His career is one of pure craftsmanship.

Augustus McCrae was his favorite character.

He was amazing in The Great Santini, Tender Mercies, The Apostle, The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, Mash, To Kill a Mockingbird.

No matter what he was in he brought craftmanship.
