When it comes to Watson, it's all relative.

This is all also true. I'm not arguing that it WILL be that, just that it has the college football world very excited for the upcoming season.

History has told us that your post will be closer to reality, but I don't recall a year with so much potential in draft eligible prospects.

While I never wanted to trade Myles, I had a feeling it was coming. They are building a nice young roster, and a different culture is being presented by the young guys. Myles is the best player in the league, but he is not what I call a team leader. Him stating he wanted out last year, and made a big scene trying to make it happen. The guys in the locker room see that. Him working away from the team in a year when a new head coach and staff comes in, doesn't really show leadership to younger players. IMO, it shows entitlement. That being said, if anyone can miss all the off season stuff and come in and dominate, it is Myles. I'm just looking at it as a change in culture. Let these young players set the culture, oblivious to whatever culture prevailed previously. The camaraderie is built in the offseason, Myles would not have been part of that anyway. He wants a championship, and the front office is giving him a chance to get one. I laugh at all the posters who repeatedly claimed they were screwing a hall of fame career by keeping him, are now claiming it was a bad deal. Loved the guy, but he is a Ram now, so I could care less about him.

So you think European intelligence agencies have the same level of intel on Iran that Mossad and the CIA do? I doubt they even tell Trump all the details because he's a blabbermouth that would burn sources (and he'd get bored if they tried.)

In theory, yes, Iran or their proxies can deliver elsewhere. Yet, there's no indication that they intend to deliver anything anywhere other than Israel or the US. The people with the direct threat are more likely to take a situation more seriously than those only threatened indirectly, especially when the undertaking is expensive.


I think you're projecting again and should take your own advice. My eyes are open, and I'm not the one fighting myself.

Justice Department says it will stop work on $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization fund" after judge's ruling

Washington — The Justice Department said Monday that it will stop work on the $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund following a district judge's decision temporarily blocking the program.

The move comes after the plan earned intense pushback from Republicans in Congress, which threatened to imperil the GOP agenda on Capitol Hill.

The Justice Department said on X that it would abide by the judge's ruling that halted work on the fund, effectively shelving plans for it for now.

"The Department of Justice disagrees strongly with the decision on the Anti-Weaponization Fund put forth by the United States District Court Judge in the Eastern District of Virginia, wherein the Court stated that, under no circumstances, may the Department of Justice proceed with the Anti-Weaponization Fund recently established in order to make up for the tremendous abuse, harm, and hate unfairly shown to so many people," the department said on X.

It continued: "This Fund was open to anybody who was so weaponized, targeted, or persecuted, whether they were Democrat, Republican, Conservative, Independent, or otherwise. The Department will abide by the Court's ruling."

ICE officer wanted in the shooting of a man during the Minneapolis crackdown is arrested in Texas

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A federal immigration officer wanted in the shooting of a Venezuelan man during the Trump administration’s Minnesota crackdown was arrested Friday in Texas, authorities said.

Christian Castro, of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, was taken into custody 11 days after Minneapolis prosecutors charged him with assault and falsely reporting a crime in the Jan. 14 nonfatal shooting of Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis.

Hennepin County, Minnesota prosecutors said the state’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension located Castro, 52, in Texas, and the Texas Rangers said they assisted in the arrest in Cameron County, which borders Mexico in the southernmost part of the state.

The Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General said its agents were not involved in or present for Castro’s apprehension, denying the Hennepin County Attorney’s office’s claims in press statements about the arrest.

“Any characterization that DHS OIG agents participated in or led the arrest operation is inaccurate,” the Office of Inspector General said in a statement.

Messages seeking comment were also left with ICE and the Texas Rangers.

Online court records do not list an attorney for Castro, and it wasn’t immediately clear if he has one.

In a statement, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty heralded the arrest as “a critical step forward in our prosecution of Mr. Castro.”

Castro is the second federal agent to be charged over their conduct during the Minnesota crackdown, which was known as Operation Metro Surge. He is one of two agents that ICE Director Todd Lyons said lied about the circumstances of the incident.

According to prosecutors, Castro fired through a home’s front door and shot Sosa-Celis in the thigh after Castro and another officer chased a different man, Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna, to the Minneapolis apartment duplex where he and Sosa-Celis lived. Sosa-Celis and Aljorna were legally in the U.S., Moriarty said.

Federal authorities initially accused Sosa-Celis and Aljorna of beating an officer with a broom handle and a snow shovel. A federal judge later dismissed the charges, and ICE and the Justice Department opened an investigation into whether the officers lied about what happened.

In a statement after the charges were announced, ICE said the U.S. attorney’s office was investigating statements made by the officers, who could face disciplinary action including being fired and prosecuted. ICE called the Hennepin County attorney’s action “unlawful and nothing more than a political stunt.” DHS’s Inspector General’s Office, which Moriarty credited with assisting in the arrest, is separate from ICE and is meant to serve as a watchdog for DHS agencies, including ICE.

Minneapolis last month released video showing the moments before Sosa-Celis’s shooting, captured from a distance by a city-owned security camera.

The video appears to show a person standing with a snow shovel outside the house, near the street, then retreating toward the house and tossing the shovel into the yard. This happens as a person being chased by another person runs up from the street, falls on the sidewalk, gets up, and keeps heading toward the house.

The three appear to scuffle near the front steps for about 10 seconds. The exact moment when Sosa-Celis is shot isn’t clear. A car with flashing lights pulls up, and another person walks up.

The Trump administration sent thousands of officers to the Minneapolis and St. Paul area as part of President Donald Trump’s national deportation campaign and considered Operation Metro Surge a success.

But tensions mounted during the weekslong campaign, and the shooting deaths of U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal officers sparked mass unrest and raised questions about officers’ conduct.

Minnesota leaders and the Trump administration have clashed over who has the authority to investigate and prosecute federal officers for on-duty conduct.

Moriarty’s office last month charged immigration agent Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr. with assault for allegedly pointing his gun at people in a car on a highway. He turned himself in last week, and his lawyer disputes the charges.

The county is also investigating Good’s and Pretti’s killings and sued the Trump administration in March to gain access to evidence in those cases and the Sosa-Celis shooting.

It appears there are many "out of shape" in the military which are still in the military or there would have been no need for this memo to begin with. There are many tech jobs, engineering jobs and critical surveillance jobs just to name a few in the military which need the smartest and brightest among us, not the most cut and chiseled soldiers prepared to fight on the front lines.

But I suppose when you call something "The Department of War" instead of "The Department of Defense" you have to keep up unrealistic appearances to your base voters.

Lead prosecutor on former FBI Director Comey's 'seashells' case withdraws without explanation

The department did not include any explanation for the move.

The lead prosecutor tasked with overseeing former FBI Director James Comey's prosecution stemming from his post of seashells that the Justice Department claims amounted to a threat against President Donald Trump has withdrawn from the case, according to a court filing.

Matthew Petracca was the lone prosecutor from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of North Carolina assigned to the case when it was unsealed late last month.

On Friday evening, however, the Justice Department filed a notice with the court indicating that Petracca has been replaced by assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy Severo.

The department did not include any explanation for the move in the high-profile case.

Comey's attorneys are expected to make a vigorous push to have the case dismissed before it can go to trial through a variety of legal challenges.

A Justice Department spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment from ABC News.

Comey was charged with threatening to kill Trump by posting a photo on Instagram of seashells on a beach arranged in the numbers "86 47." Citing the slang meaning of "86" as to "nix" or "get rid" of something, allies of the president allege that the post was a veiled threat against Trump, who is the 47th president.

Following backlash over the post, Comey removed the photo from Instagram and said he was unaware that the post could be associated with violence.

Critics of Trump say the indictment is another effort by the administration to punish the president's perceived enemies after a judge last year threw out an indictment against Comey on unrelated charges.

At a press conference announcing the charges last month, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche argued that Comey's post crossed the line between First Amendment-protected speech and speech that warrants prosecution.

Comey's trial is scheduled to begin Oct. 21.

This entire thing seems contrived, botched, manufactured and mishandled in at least 8647 different ways.

The problem with adding states is that the ones on the list would likely be democratic in political preference.

Fair is a fairy tale. We like the idea of things being fair and mostly equal, but the reality doesn't play out that way, be it pretty much in anything.

Reports are circulating that after trump's latest medical examination at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, during his colonoscopy doctors discovered that just over half of congress was planted firmly up his ass. The earliest they said treatment may become available would be shortly after the mid term elections.

Depends. Can he shoot the trey? I like the idea. Cavs need some "bad assery."

Thank you everyone my dad

I like the Braves just fine.

In that case I wish you all the best moving forward with your consulting service. AI may help your business be much more profitable and efficient.

But you have to admit this is rather humorous in and embarrassing kind of way........

March of 2022 watson was signed by the Browns. They claimed they had their QB of the future and finally had a franchise QB.

March of 2025 Browns co-owner Jimmy Haslam said the team "took a big swing-and-miss" in acquiring QB Deshaun Watson.

May of 2026 watson is #1 on the QB depth chart.

It's as if this team has a bad case of being bipolar.

And the question could become, if Monkin doesn't develop some of that "1st round" talent will it be the fault of Monkin for not developing that talent or will it be the talking heads were wrong about their evaluations on some of those picks?

As I said earlier, simple is the name of the game, especially if you plan on doing most of it yourself. Leave the complicated to the people who can afford personal secretaries, a team of accountants, and lawyers. Complicated takes a mental toll if you plan to do it yourself.

I made an error which I am happy to accept and acknowledge - something most won't do on here. And if anyone was to keep a score of the lies and the misinformation that is spammed on these boards, then one group of posters win by a land slide and it isn't the guys who don't like Trump.

SoS is based on the previous year's results (which itself takes into account it's own SoS), but each team has turned over as much as 25-35% of its roster and 30% of all teams have new head coaches, staffs, and systems.

So, it sounds good, but there really isn't much you can reliably take away from it. It's predicting this year's corn crop based on last year's tomatoes.

I think this just reinforces that most draftniks & sites just really don't know and that reality is disguised by the ability to pick a lot of low-hanging "no-brainer" fruit in drafts.
That said, the same applies to all front offices as well, given how many misses there are each year.

They're making a guess on future performance in one system against higher quality talent based on past performances in other systems against decidedly lower talent.... sometimes you'll hit, sometimes you won't.
