The problem is guys can get really, really wealthy off one really good idea. Cuban fleeced Yahoo for broadcast . com and became a billionaire. Which, good for him. But guys who get rich off one good idea become convinced *every* idea they have is good and won't be told otherwise.

I have been saying this for something like 15 years and I am so tired, folks: the tactics. Of the right. Don't work. For the left. Because their politics are divisive and anti-community. Ours aren't. They win when politics is toxic and vicious. We win by building solidarity.

Very possible we get a shutout of Grambling next week, endless "Matt Patricia redemption!" stories... ...and then Parker Navarro rolls into the Shoe and puts up 450 yards of offense in Week 3.

I don't even know what Angeli was trying to do there.
Brad? (@bradquestionmark.bsky.social) reply parent
Going to be really funny...they'll probably shut out Grambling next week. We will get flooded with "Matt Patricia redemption!" stories. ...and then in Week 3 Parker Navarro will put up like 450 yards of offense on them.

Young young young team. I need them to be a lot better by the end of the year and keep most of the important guys from transferring. That's it. *Next* year....they have to win.

I get playing Samuel. I do. But the growing pains are going to be rough to watch. Man, he is getting *cooked* out there.
Brad? (@bradquestionmark.bsky.social) reply parent
See, I think the opposite...the Saints are the one team Arch *doesn't* want to play for.

It wouldn't even really penalize you for three losses...but those losses can't be to Kentucky.

At least one of the win conditions needs to be a DC funding fix. Whatever else you think about Schumer avoiding the shutdown last time...doing so without making the House do the DC funding fix first was unforgivable.

Also, discovering Split Zone Duo has been a godsend this summer as I listened during my stupid second job because teachers don't make anything...now subscribed. The show is fantastic.

For sure. But Kent lost to a sub .500 NEC team last year that is so resource-strapped they are now dropping to D3. ...and 2025 Kent State might be *worse* than 2024.

Question: just listened to the FCS Upset Draft episode, which was fantastic. ...how did no one pick Merrimack? 2025 Kent State might be the very worst FBS team in years.

Annnnnnnd I was right. Dr. Monarez won't rubber stamp RFK Jr's "research" that declares everything wrong in the world is a vaccine's fault so he's trying to replace her with someone who will.
Brad? (@bradquestionmark.bsky.social)
Let me guess: RFK is getting ready to announce "autism is all because of vaccines" and she isn't willing to go along with it.

I love the idea of "Vermontification" This is a great point. I'm a country boy who would love to live a rural life again. ...but I ain't raising my kids in MAGA land. So here we are. It's the right choice, even though every red light gives me hives.

It *seems* like she was more upset because she thought there was some closure and instead the actual offender here has not been caught. But who knows. It's possible she's convinced this is the guy who did it when he very clearly wasn't.

Zack Davidson somehow having a 62-yard punt *and* getting Shilo Sanders thrown out in one half is just a legendary performance for a 4th-string TE.
Brad? (@bradquestionmark.bsky.social) reply parent
The only argument for Curtis Samuel is that his contract is guaranteed. And that matters. But still. I think Moore and Shavers both make the team.
Brad? (@bradquestionmark.bsky.social) reply parent
Shavers *has* to make the 53. He's earned it. (And I know we always say this...but he'd get claimed if we try to sneak him back on the PS.)
Brad? (@bradquestionmark.bsky.social)
Davidson was a very legit college punter - in fact was recruited as a punter only! He didn't really play TE at all until his third year in college.
Brad? (@bradquestionmark.bsky.social) reply parent
Absolutely true. Won't happen unless the IOC's hand gets forced by boycotts.
Brad? (@bradquestionmark.bsky.social) reply parent
The only way it would happen would be multiple European heavy hitters + Brazil & Argentina boycotting. No chance. Now, if the World Cup is a clusterfuck or idiot ICE agents kill a visitor or something...I can see the Olympics getting boycotted.

I know the modern media is absolutely incapable of asking a follow-up question but a great one here would have been, "Really. Well has the President read what Jesus said about rich men getting into heaven? Specifically that a camel has a better chance of fitting through the eye of a needle?"

I'm actually looking forward to Hard Knocks. Wonder how much they'll show of the aftermath of this mess. Going to be some tough conversations.

The crazies will be convinced Andreessen can't play after tonight. (To be fair...he hasn't been good.)

Joe Andreessen just absolutely refuses to get enough depth on pass plays.

There's no justification to keep him off the 53. That's an NFL WR. He can play all three spots. He can play teams. Put him on the damn roster.

This leaves out the worst part: Lewandowski is still *right now* jetting around with Noem as her "advisor". They've been on a taxpayer-funded adultery tour for MONTHS.
Brad? (@bradquestionmark.bsky.social) reply parent
True. But if they can do *anything* positive they will climb out of the bottom 10 pretty quickly. It's real ugly down there. (I watched both Dean and Hilbert play last year....yikes.)
Brad? (@bradquestionmark.bsky.social) reply parent
Ah. Gotcha. So an even longer hiatus.
Brad? (@bradquestionmark.bsky.social)
Not to kill the vibe *too* much, but these two are really only at the bottom because it's Maritime's first year back after a hiatus and New England's first year period. I would be a little surprised if these were the actual two worst teams in the country.
Brad? (@bradquestionmark.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah I believe I heard they just threw up their hands and started just charging people with misdemeanors instead because they couldn't get *any* felonies past the grand jury. Amazing.
Brad? (@bradquestionmark.bsky.social) reply parent
So many Texans just do not vote.
Brad? (@bradquestionmark.bsky.social) reply parent
I mean, I'm going to assume that you were a competent prosecutor who brought actual evidence in good faith. Also going to assume it's become clear to these grand juries that the opposite is happening now.
Brad? (@bradquestionmark.bsky.social)
You can at least make a case Schumer did the right thing by voting for the CR. Doing so *before* forcing the House to pass the DC budget fix was ABSOLUTELY FUCKING UNFORGIVABLE.

For the record I shared your outrage about the Vikings/Texans thing. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills listening to Vikings discourse this offseason.
Brad? (@bradquestionmark.bsky.social) reply parent
The whole point is to no doubt just stick around long enough so they can put out some fake numbers about how much crime dropped. (And make sure Trump's eyes aren't sullied by any homeless people while he is out and about in D.C.)

DO NOT ABANDON THE VULNERABLE. DO NOT NEGOTIATE AWAY THEIR RIGHTS OR PROTECTIONS. If you feed stragglers to the wolves they’ll be back for the rest of the flock next week

I know Stancil catches plenty of shit but yeah, this whole thread nails it. Stand up and fight. For everyone. MAGA *IS* eventually coming for every single person who isn't a straight White Christian. There's no compromising here. Every group you sell out is simply one less group left to fight.

I still think we're getting a lockout - the owners are going to the mat for a salary cap this time - but projecting any baseball franchise as an unbeatable dynasty is just silly. Remember when the Braves were set up for a decade of dominance like two years ago?

Shavers can play all three WR spots and can play special teams...think he has enough value to use a spot for an "extra" WR spot. Especially since Samuel isn't healthy.
Brad? (@bradquestionmark.bsky.social) reply parent
And I don't think they would give up on Moore or Samuel yet. But we'll see.
Brad? (@bradquestionmark.bsky.social) reply parent
They have kept 10 OL in the past...I think they would be fine with 9. I think in their minds they'd rather only keep 5 WRs but Shavers' ability to play multiple WR spots and play special teams makes him valuable enough to keep.
Brad? (@bradquestionmark.bsky.social) reply parent
Nah. Think you just keep six WRs.
Brad? (@bradquestionmark.bsky.social) reply parent
Shavers is good, man. He's gotta be on the 53.
Brad? (@bradquestionmark.bsky.social) reply parent
Yup. Keep 6 WRs. I don't care. Shavers needs a spot.

As a teacher, it drives me absolutely insane. School should be learning *how* to learn and develop their own interests, while giving them enough reading, writing, and math skills to function. They don't need to spend tons of time getting "skills" for jobs and technology that won't exist in 10 years!
