No... but if it happens it happens, apparently. We're supposed to convince ourselves that a country with a military that, pound for pound, nearly rivals the United States can NOT be expected to even attempt to avoid mass civilian casualties while prosecuting an ongoing war against a FAR inferior adversary. And then we have to perform the mental gymnastics necessary to cast Israel as some sort of victim.

When the team is practicing days before the first pre-season game and getting out of the huddle and executing the snap is still a challenge.

Not much else needs to be said. For crying out loud.

This is professional football. I don't blame Monken for ending practice and throwing his walkie talkie.

I wonder sometimes if the Browns are ever going to find a quarterback. Bernie has been gone a long time.

There was some hope with Baker. But he never clearly locked the job down in Cleveland.

Already most of us fans are looking at 2027. Which means we could go another three years and still don't know.

Everyone is banking on that we will find "the guy." That is a long way from knowing you have the guy.

I was scrolling back in to February and saw a questions asked of me that I didn't catch at the time. The Four Seasons were great. Bob Gaudio was a fine singer and supreme hit song writer. Frankie Valli, well, just about everybody knows of Frankie. I could have picked from a dozen or more songs but this oldie kind of sums up their distinctive sound.

Bro! Where's the avatar gif??

It has been 57 days (or about 8 weeks) since Senator Mitch McConnell was last seen in public, following his hospitalization and subsequent inpatient rehabilitation after a fall in mid-June 2026. While his office has released statements and photos, he has not made a physical public appearance.

Has anyone thought of placing his photo on milk cartons?

The degree to which you've lost an argument can be directly tied to how hard you try to pivot to another talking point.

This was a big one.

I think you're never going to get exactly "fair value" for the best defender in football, but I like the trade given his age and our return.

From what I've seen, Verse is a very high motor and tough guy. I think he fits Monken's personality too

yeah he looked good for what its worth

Trump says he’s ‘low-keying it’ on Iran: ‘It will work out’

President Trump said in a new interview he is “low-keying it” when it comes to the war with Iran as it nears its sixth month

“We are only semi-negotiating with them. We are just watching Iran with its huge inflation and the fact they have no money,” Trump told Axios on Sunday.

The president also said Tehran’s economy “is in very bad shape” and that the country cannot compensate its forces.

“It will work out. It always works out. It’s like a chess game,” Trump said of tension between the U.S. and Iran.

With the war against Iran approaching the half-year mark, the fighting is straining U.S. relations with historic allies, raising the price of oil and gas amid the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and polling recently as unpopular among Americans.

According to AAA, the average price of a gallon of regular gas in the U.S. was about $4.00 on Monday morning, with the average price being about $3.14 at this time last year.

Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, presented on Saturday his country’s key demands for the U.S. amid talks to reopen the strait. Iran and Oman have been taking part in discussions regarding the waterway.

Zolghadr in a message shared on state media pressed the U.S. to end its naval blockade in the strait, lift sanctions on Tehran and pay war reparations. He also demanded that the U.S. military withdraw from Iran and halt attacks on Tehran’s allies.

New day, new story. And it isn't even Tuesday yet. This excursion/conflict/war, Trump has repeatedly said from the very beginning would end “pretty quickly,” “very soon” and “pretty much, the very near future.” That has now, six months later, evolved into "low keying" it.

Theodore Roosevelt did get approval from Congress. Congress appropriated $65,000 for the construction of the temporary executive office building (known today as the West Wing) as part of a larger $500,000 renovation and modernization of the White House led by the architectural firm McKim, Mead & White in 1902.


On his inaugural day in March 1909, President William Howard Taft secured an appropriation of $40,000 from Congress to double the size of the West Wing and construct the first dedicated Oval Office.


None of these were structural changes to the building.

A federal appeals court ruled that a president must get congressional approval to make major structural changes to the White House grounds.On August 7, 2026, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit issued a 2-1 decision explicitly stating that the president lacks the unilateral authority to make drastic structural alterations to the property. The court clarified that existing constitutional and federal laws already require congressional authorization for such projects.

Well that may be - there are plenty of staunch old school Repoublicans who are aggressively anti-Trump. There are plenty of people who couldn't tell you what communism is vs facism that are aggressively anti-Trump.

That said - it's one more example of some idiot - in this case a high profile idiot - saying something dumb and then having "social media" present them as representing one side or the other. And then the muppets that get fed that in their echo chamber spamming the web with it. That's really the issue. But hey. All is fair in love and politics - Spread the S**t - that's what good fanboys do.

Stephen Vogt has severely regressed in his pitcher selections.

He keeps pulling bullpen pitchers with 2 outs and the lead and the next pitcher responds by giving up runs.

Don't forget that they're the party of family values. Unless that family is brown and from a different country. Then all bets are off.

What is?

This guy speaks with more common sense than almost anyone in politics. This is what I'm saying. This crap may fly in primaries, but you can't win elections when you buddy-up with a despicable commie. Piker celebrates 911 and calls for us to abolish property rights... Landlords? "Kill them. Murder those mother #$%^ in the street. Let the streets soak in their #$%^ red capitalist blood, dude."

There are parts of the series I have to fast forward.

I have seen more of the Holocaust than I want to see. I can't stomach it. What was done to Warsaw was heartbreaking.

The civilian casualties in WWII are staggering. It is interesting to see how the different countries involved treated their own civilian populations. Especially Russia, Germany, and Japan had completely different approaches.

The scale of the war and the logistics is unreal.

Every morning I check the headlines hoping it will all go away.

That somehow some way karma will find a way.

That the scales of justice will balance. Please just disappear.

That is really interesting.

I have never gotten into photography.

I have spent a lot of time outdoors. The best times of my life have come from my time outside.

The Merlin app opens up a new road. Time has slowed me down and this gives me a chance to do something at a pace that fits.

well deserved for Grant too. He's been solid for us

I'll take this opportunity to post probably the sickest plays I ever had the privilege to watch live. Even watching the replay felt like my mind playing tricks on me. 🔥

This particular story has already been discussed in this forum. Only 400 out of those 6600 actually voted. No New jersey election was decided by 400 votes. Actually none where closer than several thousand votes.

So him posting that in response to "Can you specifically name one rigged election result" is just pure BS. But then again that's to be expected.

One thing I am sure of is that the executive branch, mainly the president holds far to much power. How much power a president has is not the same as the time of the founding fathers. It has evolved and increased greatly over time. And that's not isolated to which party or who is president. As of today we see executive orders being written on an unprecedented level pushing the boundaries of the constitution and being overturned in our courts.

I'm certainly not going to say that I agree with everything they stand for. Yet I do understand when one side goes off the rails you will get a pushback that goes off the rails as well in reaction to that.

And that's where we are now. Extremism is taking over on both sides and we are all worse off for it. Surely you must have seen something like this coming in response.

Big money QBs make plays that win games or close-out games...big money DEs should do that as well...but realistically less-often.

My memory of MG will be much more of him jumping offside on 3rd/4th and short...and getting 2+ sacks in games that were essentially blowouts...rather than frequent plays that impacted the outcome of the game.
