Thanks for the input.

It seems that campaign reform from a spending standpoint and reigning in billionaires are pretty much the same. No doubt having several $billion allows more access and influence over say 10,000 people who don't have all that much money. I don't disagree with the thought except that the person with the gold has always set the rules. I am not saying that is how it should be, I just don't think that can be changed unless one takes the communist route and very few have a chance at accumulating money. I find it odd that Sanders harps about the oligarchy yet promotes a system that is nothing but oligarchy. It's nothing but friends of the state.

well, down 0-2 with the next two games on the road is a tough task. Bummer to give up the lead last night

Fox News ... the nations most followed "news network" - interviews a man claiming he met Jesus while in a coma for 18 days.

I'd say unbelievable but apparently this is big news in MAGA land.

On the other hand, people have personal bias, or lets say gut feelings.

I think that can be both good or bad. AI doesn't have any of that. That is why it takes some of both. I wouldn't want a computer picking all the players, but I wouldn't want a person picking all the players without AI. In other terms, I see AI as Mr. Spock, a living AI being, who dealt solely in logical terms, incapable of thinking in emotional terms. Very valuable traits, but he wasn't captain of the Enterprise for a reason.

NFL suspends officials Jeff Seeman, Adrian Hill for conduct toward players

The NFL has suspended line judge Jeff Seeman for two games and referee Adrian Hill for one game as punishment for instances of unprofessional conduct toward a player.

NFL Vice President of Officiating Ramon George issued the suspensions.

Seeman was caught on camera apparently cursing at Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride during Sunday's 36-24 loss to the New York Giants.

McBride felt he was interfered with by Giants cornerback Dru Phillips on a third-and-8 pass from quarterback Jacoby Brissett that fell incomplete. McBride got hit and complained to Seeman, who appeared to yell a profanity at McBride, according to video of the incident.

After the McBride incident, NFLPA Executive Director J.C. Tretter posted a statement on X that called for the same scrutiny of officials as for players.

"This kind of behavior from an official towards a player is unacceptable. Players are consistently held accountable when roles are reversed. We expect the NFL to hold officials to the same standard," Tretter wrote.

Hill's incident involved Minnesota Vikings linebacker Eric Wilson in their 15-10 win over the visiting Miami Dolphins.

Wilson was pushed into Hill by Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II midway through the first quarter after a third-and-10 play was whistled dead because of a Minnesota penalty. Gordon drove Wilson away from quarterback Malik Willis and right into Hill, who was knocked down. As Wilson tried to help him up, Hill jumped up while pointing and yelling at Wilson to get away.

Wilson said he laughed off the incident with Hill.

"That was funny, honestly," Wilson told reporters in the Vikings' locker room. "I ended up apologizing to him and explained the situation. He was cool about it. He understood what was going on. He just said he didn't want us fighting, me and [Gordon]. He said he was just trying to break us up."

Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said he didn't get a great view of the play, but did defend Hill as an official in the league.

"I think Adrian's a really good official and does a really good job," O'Connell said Monday. "And I think that was just kind of a fast moment that happened and we can put it behind us hopefully."

If it doesnt fit you dont have to argue it!

Thanks for the info Irish. It brings things into a proper perspective.

...on this site. (Though I'd complete that thought for you...lol). Actually, posting on here could be a full time job, perhaps unpaid though.

I like Rockabilly. Two of my favs, the great Johnny Cash and Marty Stewart.

hoping the injury isn't as serious as first thought. That would be a break

Thats a fact

Love that dude. From last week...

So trump's FCC goes after talk shows over equal time of political parties and then trump says this........

Trump says ‘MAGA and REAL Patriots’ will never like Fox News over hosting Democrats

President Trump on Wednesday went after Fox News over hosting Democrats on its network, with the president saying “MAGA, and REAL Patriots will never like Fox!”

“Why does FoxNews always put Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Jessica Tarlov, and every Democrat on, saying bad things about the Republican Party and, of course, me?” the president said in a Wednesday afternoon Truth Social post.

“I actually think they get more airtime than Pro Republicans. This is why MAGA, and REAL Patriots, will never like Fox! They repeat a completely negative narrative, on and on it goes, and then we get a quick retort. It’s truly amazing that I won all three Elections,” he added, repeating his false claim that he won the 2020 presidential election.

Trump has a long history of attacking the media and press outlets, but Fox News has a history of being praised by the president, and he has also hired former Fox News personalities for his administration.

Last month, Trump went after “Fox News Sunday” anchor Shannon Bream because of on-air guests, charts and polls he claimed did not show off successful actions by his administration.

“In any event, Shannon’s ‘show’ is beyond redemption. Fortunately, MAGA, which is close to 100% of the Republican Party, understands that, and watch her ‘Ratings’ start to fall,” Trump said on Truth Social at the time.

“Chris Wallace was bad, but Shannon is even worse,” he added, referring to her predecessor.

Fox News is also one of the major TV networks that rotate covering the president for wider media distribution and recently said it would not do so after Trump barred three media outlets from the White House earlier this month.

So Trump's own FCC launches punitive threats against what they claim to be the left wing news media for not giving equal time to Republicans on one hand. Then trump himself lambastes a conservative network tor giving Democrats equal time. Yet from people who support trump they act like this is no big deal and never mention it.

They're saying her marriage had gone to Schmitt after she went to the theater. Bryon Noem, her estranged husband said he is just thankful she didn't kill the family dog..... yet.

My prayers and support to you OCD. My poor wife went through this so I've unfortunately seen it firsthand. Stay positive and keep fighting!!

Somebody certainly Schmitt the bed on that one!

RIP GM.

Bro, the first three weeks are always murder for me. My attention is 100% on the Browns in the preseason. I spend the first three weeks saying "oh yeah, I forgot he plays there now". My win was 100% luck lol.

Anyway, you had the balls to pick some tough underdogs, including our Browns. Kudos.

Classic.

College, for many, has historically been something "you just go and do". You come out with a piece of paper and hopefully it works for you.


I think college, nowadays, should be viewed as an investment. There are good investments and bad investments, and bad investments will set you back. You really have to put some thought into your degree beyond how interesting it sounds. Will it help you land a higher-paying job and pay the bills? You have to think about that because you're going to have at least 1 big bill coming out of school. Obviously, scholarships can play a large role in college choices, but those can be tougher to come by and you're still likely to come out of it with loans to pay.

Anyone else annoyed with "The Athletic" crap that keeps popping up on NFL.com? They are trying to get you to subscribe. It sucks I do my best to avoid the "A" prefixes now

well done Nick

Definitely couldn't have dropped him, but I'm curious how much of the restructures to drag out the cap hit were necessary or if we were still trying to save the plan vs blow everything up.

i guess you could re sign with the same losing team for more money and then bolt to another SB contender for even more money. that could ease a lot of pain
