Re: Browns Season Record Prediction Thread FATE 09/14/26 06:55 PM
I don't see the benefit of throwing that wrench into these gears. He's a multi-season project, just in correcting his mechanics. If we want to design a set for him and insert him into games from time to time, I'm cool with that.


If this plays out on my timeline, he may start a couple games near the end of the season.

I see Watson either injured or booed out of the stadium in about 3.4 weeks.

I see Sanders showing he still throws a pretty deep ball but mostly resembles a box of rocks upstairs through the meat of the schedule.

I see Sanders either benched or traded once it is evident this is still Mission Impossible, while his cult protests outside Berea that this was all a set-up.

I see Gabriel starting a game or two and us saying "yep, that's my QB2".

And then, maybe Green, after at least 12 weeks of understanding what it takes to even be in an NFL QB room and showing a grasp of the offense.

It was basically an Andrew Yang pledge back in 2020. "Freedom dividends" were a big part of his campaign.

Yes, Trump is trying to "buy" votes in close to its barest and most straightforward form. But it's not really anything new. Yes, I find it awful, and a big part of that is because its him and I want nothing to do with him continuing to be in office. Yet, free college/loan forgiveness is ultimately more or less the same thing, as is campaigning on tax cuts, so acting like offering people things if they win an election hasn't been "standard operating procedure" is a bit disingenuous. Trump is just not even trying to make it sound better. Unfortunately, he's not offering the cash up front for the vote which would be illegal. Since the "pledge" is to every American regardless of whom they voted for it is most likely "legal."

Can he actually do it? Maybe. Would it probably cause bad inflation if he could? Probably. Would Trump do more damaging things if he has control of both houses? Almost definitely.

Still I find the trying to whitewash how the system has worked aggravating.

I see what you're saying. You make a compelling argument and I almost agree with your overall point. I don't because it's taking thinly-veiled corruption and fully embracing it. The last hinderances are being removed (or at least the attempt is being made). That, to me, is the main difference.

Re: Republican Right Wing Nuts - Part ???? PitDAWG 09/14/26 02:41 PM
Once again what you have shown is when and where there is voter fraud it is being found, addressed and adjudicated by state and local means. That there is no need for federal government interference or any need for them to gather information from states to deal with it. There seems to already be a solution to the problem that's working. And as mgh pointed out, you claimed guilt on cases still being adjudicated. You used example of single individuals and it took a 20 year span of time to find those examples. And the topic all along has been mass voter fraud which you, as so many before you, have not shown to be the case.

When Watson fails... they can put in SS and fully close the book on Watson.

That will leave SS to prove that he is or is not a starting/winning QB in the NFL

If SS fails... we are drafting high and taking a QB.

Garrett is out. Now, it's time for Watson to fall in line.

9/11 goes back to a time where we didn't get instantly alerted to breaking news. I was in college. Had a 2 hour lecture that morning. I didn't know anything had happened until 10:30 when I went down to the lab and saw everyone huddled around a TV.

Wow. What an incredible connection to Brian’s spirit, eh?

For eleven years, we watched him handle unimaginable hardship without a single complaint or 'woe is me' attitude. Outwardly, his body went through so much, but inwardly, his light only grew brighter. His mantra that 'every day is a good day' was proof that he was looking past that pain toward something much bigger. Pain is temporary... but his legacy, and his peace, are eternal.

Thanks for sharing.

Blanche refuses to pledge DOJ will always act independently of White House PitDAWG 09/11/26 06:20 PM
Attorney General Todd Blanche on Sunday did not commit to acting independently of President Trump, but he claimed the president has not and will not ask him to prosecute specific individuals.

Trump publicly pressured AG Bondi to take action against Democratic Senator Adam Schiff, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and former FBI Director James Comey. Trump directed the DOJ and FBI to investigate Democrats tied to Jeffrey Epstein, including former President Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, and Reid Hoffman. Trump, in an executive order signed Thursday, directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate allegations that Republicans have raised that ActBlue allows illegal campaign donations.


“There’s a big difference between saying we will always do our job and investigate any case and act independently of the White House. No, I’m not going to pledge that. And no attorney general should ever pledge that,” Blanche told host Kristen Welker on NBC News’s “Meet the Press.”

He later said, “If I were to pledge, I will be independent of the White House, what that means is that if President Trump says, ‘I want the Department of Justice to go after every violent criminal in this country’ — which is what he has said — what you’re saying to me is I should say, ‘No, sir, I’m not going to do it.’”

That would simply be him asking you to do your job. Not go after his political enemies or make purely political decisions and prosecutions based on politics alone.

Blanche also said he would “of course” take the president’s view into consideration before taking action, noting he hoped “every attorney general in history would not answer that question differently.”

Since taking over at the Justice Department in an acting capacity, Blanche has overseen the department’s prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey — who was fired by Trump during his first term — over an alleged threat to the president.

Comey, a frequent critic of Trump, denied threatening the president via his Instagram post of a photo depicting “86 47” written out in seashells on a beach.

Blanche also signed off on the creation of a $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund as part of the president’s settlement agreement with the IRS.

Under that agreement, Blanche ordered the IRS to never again probe the taxes of Trump, his family members or his businesses — despite the tax agency falling under the Treasury Department. A federal judge has since reopened the president’s lawsuit against the IRS.

The Justice Department scrapped the fund amid bipartisan backlash on Capitol Hill, with Blanche officially rescinding his initial order earlier this month in exchange for Republican Sens. John Cornyn (Texas) and Thom Tillis (N.C.) supporting his confirmation.

The Senate confirmed Blanche via a 50-49 vote last weekend, and Trump’s former personal attorney was sworn in as the full-time attorney general on Aug. 10.

When Welker asked Blanche what he would do if the president asked him to cross an “ethical or legal line,” the attorney general dismissed the possibility.

“The president will never ask me to do something unethical or illegal. He never has. He never will,” Blanche said Sunday.

The attorney general later remarked, “The president does not expect any of his leaders, including me, to just say yes to him no matter what he says. And so of course, there’s vigorous back and forth with every Cabinet member of the president of the United States, which is exactly what President Trump expects.”

“Again, there is this extraordinarily false narrative that the president wakes up in the morning and calls me and says, ‘Todd, go prosecute X or Y.’ He does not do that. He has never done that. He will never do that,” he added.

Once again......

Trump directed the DOJ and FBI to investigate Democrats tied to Jeffrey Epstein, including former President Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, and Reid Hoffman.

The president previously urged Blanche’s predecessor, former Attorney General Pam Bondi, to speed up the prosecutions of multiple of his perceived enemies last year.

In August, had an historical event in Colorado Springs. The National museum of World War 2 Aviation hosted 3 SB2C Helldivers. The only 3 in the world that fly. They did a sunrise flight along with a B-25, then a second flight around noon. Seeing 4 WW2 planes startup, taxi and sit in line waiting for takeoff was quite a sight.

Under the proposals it would be a criminal offence for a member of the Senedd, or a candidate for election to the Senedd, to wilfully, or with intent to mislead, make or publish a statement that is known to be false or deceptive. Proceedings would have to be brought within six months from the date on which the statement was made.

It would be considered a defence if it could be “reasonably inferred” to be a statement of opinion, or if it were retracted with an apology within 14 days. Being prosecuted for such a law would disqualify a person from being a Senedd member.


Lmao… politicians would have to pass this. Find one on either side that never lies.

Re Hines-Allen specifically how much are his numbers about him being good vs the OTs he faced being "bad" and vice versa? How much were Ersery and Dan Moore Jr being "bad" about Hines-Allen (and the Texans DEs) being good? I can't say I watched much any of the Jaguars. Only thing that stands out in my recollection is the kicker booting bombs.

Personally, I think the biggest matchup for the Browns is probably Watson vs himself. Whether he can win that one when it counts now remains to be seen.

Re: Quarterbacks PitDAWG 09/07/26 04:45 PM
I get what you're saying but often times teams that are mismatched do give QB's opportunities they do not get against better opponents. It's much easier for a QB to do the things you speak of when they are comfortable, not pressured and have more time in the pocket. When you're not being pressured your game will flow in your own comfort zone. Not saying that's the case here because I didn't watch the game.

If you play a much weaker team your WR's aren't facing top end defenders. It makes it much easier for your WR's to get open than they may be against much better opponents. Your OL isn't facing top tier DL and LB's which also makes their jobs easier to protect the QB.

Top CB's, DL, OL and every position on the field whose aspiration and talent makes their goal playing in the NFL go to schools where they get the most attention and the most exposure. Many of those who don't go to the top schools do so because they aren't sure they could win the starting position so it's easier for them to be starters and get more exposure at a smaller school than sitting on the bench at a better school.

It does make it easier to see what they can and will do when they're in their comfort zone. What their natural tendencies are when you have the luxury of playing against inferior players. It doesn't tell you what they will do when their teams talent has to face similar talent and they're thrown out of their comfort zones. How a QB will react or what he may revert to when his WR's don't get open on a regular basis and he has to throw into traffic more often. How his mechanics may change when regularly pressured. How he reacts when he has to lead his team on late, game winning drives. The judge of a great QB is how they react when the heat is on. You don't win it all in the NFL based on playing inferior teams.

And yes you can bring up Josh Allan. On rare occasions even QB's who play on lower tier teams can develop into more. It's just not a very common occurrence.
