Re: NFLPA Grades mgh888 02/27/26 11:29 AM
That was a surprise to me.

As was Berry getting a C while KS was a C- ... Stefanski getting a C- really does say a lot in my opinion.

On the one hand players are closer to this than anyone - so their opinions are valid and perhaps shine a light on things we as fans can only normally speculate on. On the other hand, a bit like fans opinions, I am sure winning cures a lot of issues when it comes to Coach/GM/Ownership.

Then, some political group threw a tantrum and had what they called an "alternative halftime show" at a location where there was no football game. We both know you can't have a halftime show in a location where there is no game which to perform at halftime. That's called a concert, not a halftime show.


Which NIT do you want to pick next??

Now in a purely political move someone is trying to use the power of the government to punish and tarnish the halftime show they threw a tantrum about it the first place.

Not the same at all. One had performers I like, the other was not in English and you couldn't have paid me money to watch it. Neither was political for me or for many others.

As a reply you are trying to make it sound as if this makes them both the same? Really?

Are you really trying to make them sound different? (here have another NIT. )

I agree that the Democratic Party interfered and prevented Bernie from being the nominee. I've stated that elsewhere.

But when the conversation is about election fraud regarding the voting public - it is disingenuous to bring that to the table as a means to try to validate and present as reasonable a case to Nationalize state voting. The two issues are not in any way the same. Add to that - regarding voter fraud and security - it is observable fact that in cases proven in court [1] All the claims about the 2020 election have been dismissed and some claiming that it was a stolen election have faced MASSIVE fines [2] in individual cases around the country - it is proven that Republicans attempted/have been convicted at least as much, in reality more often, than Dem voters. . . And case in point - another Rep in Pit's post above sentenced.

If the conversation is about National Voter integrity - we need to stick to issues concerning the public voting. Not closed institutional voting. The issue with one have nothing to do with the other.

On the subject of National Voting integrity and fraud - and the inaccurate claims that the MAGA fanboys spew - Norhtlima posted the most relevant and factual information in his post above. His link is worth posting again and reading if you did not see it:

That's pretty simple coming from someone that has actual experience in the field. At that point I would have thought even you could man up and admit that ends the conversation. I suppose I should have known better. notallthere

That's great. Have him tell us when the last time was that he purchased all-you-can-eat artificial-intelligence.

You want me to "man-up" to what? To you coming out the fool again? That's literally every time I talk to you. You change the conversation eight-ways to Sunday and then act like you made a point. This thread is no different.

Starts with a big hissy fit about canceling a contract, ends with cherry-picking a post from someone in the know... whose very first sentence stated that I was correct.

Anthony Richardson has been given permission by the Colts to seek his own trade. We could probably get him for a late round pick. Does anyone think Monken could do anything with him? Myself I'm not sure but it could be worth a shot.

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.

Re: Live updates: Supreme Court rules against Trump's tariffs, limiting president's power to impose taxes PitDAWG 02/25/26 04:52 PM
"Illegal" refers to any action, agreement, or item forbidden by law, statute, or official regulations. It signifies a violation of criminal or civil law, often described as unlawful or illicit. While often used for criminal acts, it can also refer to breaches of administrative rules.

"Legal" refers to anything related to, based on, or permitted by the law. It describes actions, agreements, or items that conform to established legal systems and rules, as opposed to being illegal or unlawful. It also relates to the profession of law, including lawyers, courts, and legal rights.

At this point I'm just trying to be helpful since it seems you're having trouble grasping the concept as to the difference between the two.

Re: Tennessee House passes bill saying same-sex marriages do not have to be recognized mgh888 02/25/26 08:50 AM
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.

Re: Grand jury declines criminal charges against 6 Democrats who urged military to reject illegal orders PitDAWG 02/24/26 05:37 PM
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.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/pirro-...oa6OdSM6eExpM_aem_UVWEjLB6xfKZVxjpJ1XHyw

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. 😁

But, give credit where credit is due. They never gave up, even killed off 1:33 of 5 on 3. It was great to see our first men's hockey gold since the Miracle on Ice. Jack Hughes, who scored the game winner, had a couple teeth knocked out earlier in the game, came back in like nothing happened and cemented his name in hockey history. He would have been on IR in other sports.

That is why I have taken some issue with QB being called the most important position in sports. I think a goalie in hockey is about the same.

If you have a wall in front of the net, you are going to win a lot of games.

Yesterday the USA had a wall in front of the net.

Re: What The Trump Administrartion and CBS Didn't Want you to See PitDAWG 02/22/26 07:25 PM
For anyone still in denial that trump isn't trying to control the media there's this.............

As of February 2026, Netflix is engaged in a high-stakes, roughly $82.7 billion all-cash bid to acquire the studio and streaming assets of Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD). The deal, aimed at acquiring major franchises like DC Comics and Harry Potter, faces intense regulatory scrutiny, a rival offer from Paramount Skydance, and opposition from political figures

Key Details of the Potential Acquisition:

The Bid: Netflix has proposed an all-cash offer of approximately $82.7 billion ($27.75 per share) to acquire WBD’s film/TV studios and the HBO Max streaming service.

Rivalry: Paramount Skydance has submitted a higher competing bid of roughly $108 billion (including debt) for the entire company.

Board Support: Despite the higher offer, the WBD board has shown preference for the Netflix deal, though they have given Paramount a window to increase its bid.

Regulatory & Political Hurdles: The US Justice Department has opened an antitrust investigation into the Netflix/WBD deal to examine if it creates a monopoly or hinders competition. The deal has faced vocal opposition from political figures and industry professionals, including filmmaker James Cameron.

Deal Structure: The deal is intended to close after the separation of WBD’s TV networks (like CNN and TNT) into a separate entity.

And now comes trump applying the pressure in his usual petty way...............

Trump demands Netflix fire Susan Rice as DOJ probes Warner deal

KEY POINTS

President Donald Trump demanded that Netflix fire board member Susan Rice or "pay the consequences."

Rice argued during a podcast last week that "it is not going to end well" for corporations, news organizations, and law firms that "bent the knee" to Trump, and that their deference is unpopular.

Trump's comments come as Netflix is pursuing a takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery.

The Department of Justice is reviewing the proposed acquisition.

President Donald Trump late Saturday called on Netflix to fire board member Susan Rice or "pay the consequences," after she said Democrats would push for corporate accountability if they regain power in the November midterm elections.

In a Truth Social post on Saturday, Trump described Rice, who served as President Joe Biden's domestic policy chief and held top foreign policy posts under President Barack Obama, as "purely a political hack" with "no talent or skills."

https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2026/02/22...usan-rice-as-doj-probes-warner-deal.html

That sounds like the perfect description of most of his own cabinet.

League minimum for 3yrs or less accrued experience in 2025 - $1,100,000

While I didn't put a ton of time into it, this is what I was searching for the other day and kept running into the numbers of our specialists (kicker/punter/LS). So thank you for finding and posting that up.

Also, your post about penalties was illuminating. I did not realize we were on the one end of the ST penalty rankings. Thank you for posting that.


I can definitely see how those two things point to roster vs coaching regarding our ST woes. Now I'm wondering if that $400k difference in average pay was us not having that "ST ace" on the roster (ex. Cribbs, who was as good a gunner as he was a returner).

The defense is going to take a step backwards , because the Browns have struggled to get their talented groups to perform consistently year to year is what you just said.


Well if that is what happened under Stephanski and Schwarts then glad they are gone.

Who in the heck wants coaches who make the team struggle ?
