President Trump expressed condolences for the slain American troops and predicted there would be more causalities in the coming days. “Sadly, there will likely be more before it ends,” he said. “That’s the way it is. Likely be more.”

It's the Combine.

They are throwing to guys they don't play with.

I look more at them throwing the ball. Their footwork. Release. Hip turn. Weight transfer. Trajectory of the throw. When they release.

The mechanics of their movement.

Just watching them without uniforms and helmets.

There is so much that goes into the position. It is impossible to have it all figured out. That is why there are so many who do not make it.

Then when they get to the NFL it takes more time. Some guys it takes years and moving around before the lights come on.

Shedeur flashed. He made some big time plays. He also stunk and made some horrible plays. Can he be consistent with the good stuff?

Nobody coming from college is a sure thing. Make your best educated guess and hope you take the right guy.

it occured to me today, that always being one of the smartest guys in the room is more a handicap than blessing… not because smart is bad; because most stupid people don’t know they are stupid. I give you Trump and Company as examples… any idiot but trump czn see this is going bad, veery bad… Trumpdoubles down on stupid.

That’s funny. I still don’t think a few on here will understand.

Year…(I think) 5 of kicking the stupid can. In other words, if we keep kicking it… someday I will be right

Caddyshack gif = “well, we’re waiting”

Every now and then I go to pay for something and think damn.

Going to Five Guys for a double cheeseburger and a milk shake. Good lord over $20.

Healthcare is unreal.

I have Medicare Advantage with UHC. I went and had some epidurals in my back. Over $30k. I didn't pay that but still.

I guess when you get old it is always the same. My father would turn in his grave if he knew what people pay for "bottled water."

When I was a teen and made $3.00 an hour I thought it was good money.

Back in the day if you made $30k a year and you were 30 years old. You were doing well.

Pentagon to cut ties with Columbia, Yale, Brown and others Hegseth accuses of 'wokeness'

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon will forbid members of the military from attending Columbia, Yale, Brown and other universities starting next school year amid a campaign to cut ties with institutions that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called “factories of anti-American resentment.”

Hegseth announced the policy in a video posted to social media on Friday, three weeks after he said the military was cutting ties with Harvard University. Without citing evidence, Hegseth said the universities have become “breeding grounds of toxic indoctrination” that undermine military values.

“For decades, the Ivy League and similar institutions have gorged themselves on a trust fund of American taxpayer dollars, only to become factories of anti-American resentment and military disdain,” he said. “They’ve replaced the study of victory and pragmatic realism with the promotion of wokeness and weakness.”

Hegseth said the ban applies to Columbia, Princeton, Brown, Yale, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and “many others” without elaborating. He called for “complete and immediate cancellation of all Department of War attendance,” though it was not clear how broadly it would be applied.

A message seeking further details was not immediately answered by the Pentagon.

As of Friday, Columbia, Brown, MIT and Harvard were still listed as eligible institutions in a Pentagon database for its Tuition Assistance program, which covers the full cost of tuition for active-duty personnel. Harvard had 39 participants in 2023, according to the most recent data, while Columbia had nine and MIT had two.

The earlier action against Harvard aims to block members of the military from attending graduate-level professional military education, fellowships and certificate programs, according to a statement released at the time. There are still questions about whether it applies to programs such as Harvard’s Reserve Officers’ Training Corps program.

Harvard has offered a series of professional development programs and a small number of degree programs tailored to the Pentagon. Last year, it created a new master’s degree in public administration for active-duty military members and veterans. Hegseth earned a master’s degree from Harvard but symbolically returned his diploma in a 2022 Fox News segment.

The military offers its officers a variety of opportunities to get graduate-level education, both at war colleges run by the military as well as civilian institutions like Harvard.

Campuses across the Ivy League have been a favorite target of President Donald Trump, who accuses them of becoming overrun by “woke” ideology. His administration has cut billions of dollars in research funding and attempted a number of other sanctions against the universities, often as part of investigations into allegations that officials tolerated antisemitism on campus.

Hegseth’s announcement is a rebuke to universities that had appeared to have reached a truce with the administration in recent months. Columbia and Brown were among the earliest universities to sign deals with the White House, agreeing to a range of demands in order to have their federal funding restored.

Harvard is fighting back against such demands, alleging in lawsuits that the government is illegally retaliating against the university for rebuffing its ideological views. Last summer, Trump said he was days away from reaching a deal with Harvard, but negotiations appear to have fallen apart. Earlier this month, Trump said Harvard must pay $1 billion to the government as part of any deal, twice what he had previously demanded.

Murica! Freedumb!

These colleges and universities must be teaching black history.

"Died like a dog!"

The motto of the Kristi Noem fan club.

You should take your comedy act on the road.

I'm glad to see you agree.

I'll do you one better... the dumbest song lyrics by the band with the absolute dumbest name...

Big Head Todd and the Monsters ~ Technology Song

Keepin' our wheels turning around
Instead of believing in one thing
We're busy dreaming up dumb things
For taking up time in the world
These are the years, this is the sound
Of living in times of trouble
Of turning the world into rubble
This isn't the easy way out

I am naked and my garment is green now
I am naked and my garment is green now
I am naked and my garment is green, what am I
Alone in the world
Alone in the world
Alone in the world

It may be too late to turn it around
The children will pay for the struggle
By life in a plastic bubble
And sex on a DVD
They'll never see a hippie around
To sell them a song for a lover
There's nothing left to discover
When you refuse to see

I am naked and my garment is green now
I am naked and my garment is green now
I am naked and my garment is green, what am I
Alone in the world
Alone in the world
Alone in the world

Where will I be when your lights go out?
There's only one thing for certain
My hand won't be closing the curtain
Take in and feel what you see
There's nothing left to keep the wind out
No stopping the rain from falling
Or keeping the sun from revolving
Or keeping the truth from the free

I am naked and my garment is green now
I am naked and my garment is green now
I am naked and my garment is green, what am I
Alone in the world
Alone in the world
Alone in the world

It's simply a comparison on how players grade their teams across the league. It's not some frontal attack on the Browns. It's quite simple. If you want a better grade do a better job.

But don't worry. The NFL shares you feelings. That's why they filed a grievance to stop the players union form sharing these report cards with the public. You know how much their reputation means to them. "Protect the shield"

Something about the way Leon sang it, I just like it better.

That's why both Republicans and Democrats in congress voted to release them. Because nothing is there?............................

DOJ hasn't released some Epstein files related to a woman who made an allegation against Trump

The files don't include records from three FBI interviews with a woman who said Jeffrey Epstein abused her and who also made sexual abuse allegations against President Trump, according to an NBC News analysis.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/ju...d-woman-made-allegation-trump-rcna260672

A significant portions of the files, documents, and transcripts related to Jeffrey Epstein, his associates, and the investigations into his conduct were under court-ordered seal for years.

Unsealing the documents and started very slowly in 2019 accelerating in 2024, U.S. District Judge Loretta A. Preska ordered the unsealing of thousands of pages of documents, stating that much of the information was already public or lacked a compelling reason to remain hidden.

Following the "Epstein Files Transparency Act" signed into law in late 2025, federal judges in Florida and New York ordered the unsealing of previously secret grand jury transcripts and investigative materials from the 2005, 2007, and 2019 investigations, overriding previous secrecy rules.

I know you believe " Biden had these files" because everywhere you look Republicans keep saying that. But they were under seal until it was ordered they be released and for the most part not until 2025.

The price of gold has gone up - it's price varies. It is not a yardstick you can measure a currency or buying power against. Just my 2 cents

And the MAGA fanboys will cheer and shout and wave their pom poms .... because.... they have been told to.

Meanwhile any person with an ounce of common sense would see this for what it is.

One thing I learned by this latest attack on Iran is that "totally obliterated" doesn't carry the same weight it used to if you have to "re-obliterate" it eight months later.

I mean they had to do something and they had to do it NOW am I right?

This is a really ugly story. Lewis allegedly abused, assaulted and raped this woman over a period of time at Michigan. She finally went to Sheronne Moore to report what had happened,l and Moore did nothing and began sending her texts wanting her to perform gross sexual acts. A reporter actually posted these texts from Moore and Lewis showing just how sick they are. Moore then got Lewis a better job as a DC at Toledo. Lewis will be yet another coach/staff hired by Jim Harbaugh that has been arrested. I believe that makes 11. That's what happens when slaps on the wrist are given to an organization with no institutional control and is willing to turn their head from heinous crimes to win games. Serious perverts here.....Moore, Lewis, Weiss and his hacking of thousands of female athlete's computers, the staffer who was caught red-handed trying to pick up an underage girl at Walmart. 4 separate coaches i believe getting DUI's. Not to mention the cheating and recruiting scandals. Harbaugh went scorched earth at Michigan and is hailed as a champion. Go Blue, lol.

Trump wants a do over.....

I don't disagree with this at all. Are you talking using the #6 on Lemon? He won't be available to us at #24. Lemon is also valuable as a returner.

The only thing I will add is, Jerry Jeudy is a very productive slot receiver who gets pushed outside way more than he should have because of need. We didn't have anyone else that they trusted, so he played out of position a lot. This diminished his output in my opinion and if we are really going to revamp the WR room, I think the first thing Monken is going to say is we need to get a true X receiver in here so we can use Jeudy in the slot 75% of the time.

Tate can be both X and Slot... which would give you more opportunities to conceal plays and routes. We could utilize a lot more motion as well, imho.
I think Lemon is pigeonholed as a slot...But again, he is extremely effective in that role as well as the extra benefit of his return skill set.

At the end of the day, I would be good with either. I would also be good with either Tyson or Boston...

I just want the best receiver and O-lineman combo they can come up with in this first round.

There is really nothing to read into.

I am actually surprised he was not fired.

My hope is he gets better. The five years he now has hopefully helps.

On top of the DW failure and other misses. In his position he is witness to others success and failures.

Monken might be able to help Berry in finding a franchise QB. I don't know that I am only hope.

Somehow I'm not surprised by any of that.

Cavaliers' Harden questionable with fracture in right thumb

Once again you show your ignorance and hatred.

- Civil marriage has absolutely zero to do with any religion - even the one in your head that rushes to judgement and hate as a fake pseudo Christian.

- The pope has approved same sex marriage - https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023...ame-sex-couples-under-certain-conditions - so according to (by far) largest Christian denomination in the world whose leader is infallible ... you are wrong.

- Being gay is not a choice. Same sex behavior has been documented in over 1500 different animal species.

But - you carry on hating and being a fake Christian. No skin off my nose.

U.S. Attorney's Office drops effort to indict 6 Democratic lawmakers who posted video on illegal orders, sources say

Washington — The top federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C. has decided to table efforts to try to indict six Democratic lawmakers for posting a video urging military members not to follow orders they believe are illegal, sources told CBS News on Tuesday.

The decision by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro to end the case comes after a grand jury in Washington, D.C. earlier this month refused to return an indictment, CBS News previously reported.

It was not yet clear whether the Justice Department could still explore pursuing other venues for the case, one of the sources cautioned. It was unlikely, another source said.

A spokesman for Pirro declined to comment. The decision to table the case in Washington, D.C., was reported earlier by NBC News.

The grand jury's rejection of the charges is historically rare, but is becoming more commonplace in Washington and other federal districts as grand jurors are seemingly becoming more concerned about whether some of the cases are politicized and designed to exact retribution against President Trump's enemies.

Several politically-hired attorneys who work with Pirro were assigned to the case against the lawmakers, sources told CBS News, and they tried to indict the six under a criminal statute known as 18 U.S.C. § 2387.

That law threatens a 10-year maximum prison sentence for anybody who "advises, counsels, urges, or in any manner causes or attempts to cause insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny, or refusal of duty by any member of the military."

After presenting the case to the grand jury, several sources told CBS that the grand jurors unanimously rejected the indictment, which is even more unusual.

All six Democrats later publicly condemned the move and applauded the grand jury.

After the rejection of the case became public, Abbe Lowell, an attorney for Democratic Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado, wrote a letter to Pirro telling her that he was putting her and her office "on notice of the legal ramification" if they continue to pursue charges.

It seems as if the witch hunt is over. At least this one.

Rumor has it that Jeanine Pirro is currently considering bringing charges against the cast and crew of A Few Good Men. 😁
