I encourage people to read this court ruling in the Tischer vs. Noem case - which speaks to a pattern of violations of the 1st and 4th amendment. The judge also does a great job going through (with quotations) what ICE "said happened" immediately after each incident, vs. what "video shows happened" in the same incidents. https://cases.justia.com/federal/district-courts/minnesota/mndce/0:2025cv04669/229758/85/0.pdf

I wish I was confident in the head coaching search.

I don't feel good about these young coordinators with the roster we have.

Schwartz seems like the safest pick. He has a boatload of experience that doesn't come easy.

Jim will be able to hire a staff quickly.

I think he knows who he wants as a OC.

JS is easier to trust than guys who have not had head coaching experience.

Stroud has the yips.

His body language and just the look on his face says it all.

His confidence is shot.

Strange that his rookie year when they beat us in the playoffs he looked like the new sheriff in town.

Now the Texans have got to get this guy some help.

IMO the rules need to change.

I am tired of 40 yard pass plays that get the PI call.

Call a fifteen yard penalty and first down. So many of the calls are judgement calls.

That game on one play they don't call it then they do call it on two plays.

The last play where the guy threw his helmet. He was right there was no PI.

I said the same thing, but now I want to play devil's advocate for a minute. What does SM have to hang his hat on regarding his time in Buffalo? They were a middling team and I believe they had a plus defense when he got there. They took Allen, saw a slight dip Allen's first year and then it's been steady improvement on the back of their QB (who has a strong claim to being the best player in the league regardless of position). One could argue that doesn't leave much room for coaching in terms of explaining the success.

And when you look at the reasons people are piling on Allen for the playoff record, the same thing can be said for SM. His team had a top defense, the best QB in the league, a top RB and strong Oline and the passcatchers were riddled with complementary players.


I feel like I'm missing something from the earlier part of his stint in Buffalo.

The Browns were 5th in offensive penalties committed, 6th in yards cost in offensive penalties. (9th in pre-snap)

They committed the 5th fewest defensive penalties, and 5th fewest defeensive penalty yards.

The New York Times reported Saturday that it had reviewed unaired footage from immediately after the interview took place.

As soon as Dokoupil wrapped up his 13-minute interview with Trump at a Ford plant in Dearborn, Michigan, press secretary Karoline Leavitt delivered a message to Dokoupil and his colleagues that she said came from the president: “Make sure you guys don’t cut the tape, make sure the interview is out in full,” Leavitt said, according to the Times.

Dokoupil agreed, but Leavitt doubled down.

“He said, ‘If it’s not out in full, we’ll sue your ass off,’” she said, the Times reported.

Some CBS staff on hand thought Leavitt was joking, the Times wrote, citing a person familiar with their thinking.

Leavitt, however, told the Times that “The American people deserve to watch President Trump’s full interviews, unedited, no cuts. And guess what? The interview ran in full.”

Blackmail has become as large and regular part of how this administration governs.

It's not lost on me that trump's middle name is John.

WASHINGTON—In a daring daytime mission on Monday, aircraft from the European members of NATO flew over the White House and sprayed its airspace with antipsychotic medication.

All NATO leaders signed off on the plan with the exception of the UK’s Keir Starmer, who proposed inviting Donald Trump to yet another state dinner.

Explaining the rationale behind the mission, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere said, “We saw his letter to me as a cry for help.”

On the decision to deploy antipsychotic meds, Stoere added, “We were uniquely qualified to do this because our drug prices are far lower than in the U.S.”

Stressing that the NATO members did not take their decision lightly, the Norwegian PM said, “We had been hoping that Congress would intervene, but we were left with no other choice.”

Actually the Pats turned it around in one year. During the regular season they went 4-13 in 2023, 4-13 in 2024 and went 14-3 in 2025.

and Taco Bell is cheaper than Miralax.

Oh you bet,.. I have friends in Canada.. they are simply put, sick of Trumps Crap. Trump is already making noise that Canada isn't doing enough to protect it's northern Region. As if to say, we may have to take over Canada to protect them.

This arse is going to get us in a WAR.. This time, it will be on our soil.... what a fricking idiot

If you’ve not seen any of Bob Weir and the Wolfpack from the Radio City Music Hall it’s really worth looking up. He kept the music alive and evolving right up until the end.

Yeah. Both Purdy and Brady. Both found an entire generation apart. That sounds like a plan.

Got it - fake bombings.

Daman - MG says your bombings are fake.

Maybe you two just continue this convo amongst yourselves?

Yesterday, when things got bogged down, I tried clearing cache. I'm no techie, it was just an impulse. Seemed to clear things up but could have just been coincidence. I'll keep an eye on this unless anyone knows it's a waste of time...

Former surgeons general warn US about RFK Jr.

Unfortunately way too often.

There is no competitive balance within the constraints of the pay structure. That couldn't be any more obvious.

What you have is a bunch of billionaires who appear not to want that balance or players fighting against that balance. Possibly both. I don't know enough about the situation to say.

There are examples like the NFL who have salary caps. That may not be totally fair to owners in smaller markets but it's as close as they have been able to come.

Either owners don't want that in MLB or the players union doesn't.

Anything for you, darling.

Patrick Mahomes is my all time favorite QB. Love watching him play. He does what most other QB's cannot do. At the same time I usually root for his team to lose... Figure that one out. lol

Same for me. As you know, I'm in one of those communities now, While I engage in very small-scale agriculture, I sell all of my stuff locally so these things don't affect me much, but I see it all around me. Even the local beef ranchers who also sell everything local are hit by it all because the input costs on everything are higher. Fertilizer, lime, diesel, seed... those things are the pillars of an operation, so even if you can sell everything locally, your cost-to-consumer is going to be higher because you still have a mortgage and tractor payments to make in addition to all those other inputs. Fertilizer for 100 acres can easily hit $15k-$20k depending on your soil type and the target crop.... then it takes a fair bit of diesel to run the tractor to till, seed, and spread that fertilizer. It's tough to make those costs back.

I’m shocked 😮 to hear this!!! Absolutely stunned 😳!!!!!
