This is unfair to the Big Red commercial actors, who were way more naturalistic than whatever the fuck is happening here.
Thus far, I'm not loving how the Willennium is going.

He's hosting far right lunatics on his podcast. Political expediency might be the only core value he has.
I'm not saying he should be. It just says something that so many guys used to be a captain and almost none of them are now.
Last year's captains included DJ Moore, Kmet, Edmunds, TJ Edwards, and Jaylon. All of whom were here before 2024.
Two of the four weren't here last year and the other two weren't here a year before that. That probably says something.
If that kid had a better grindset, he would have developed the physical strength to fight off that adult man. Crucial life lesson.
Ah yes, giving up my white male status so I can get the shit kicked out of me by douchebags in high school. A choice many are making.
The 37th installment in the Marvel franchise only makes half a billion dollars: "Oh no, Hollywood is dead!"
I wish a 78 year old retiring wasn't so shocking.
As a Bears fan this numerical abomination is the only thing giving me hope.
I'm not sure I've ever said anything that fawning to my wife, much less my boss. Gross.
Will pair nicely with my Dune popcorn bucket.
Would reaaaaally like the Bears to put in a claim.
Top 5 all time CFB nickname and I won't hear otherwise.
Even biased umpires call balls and strikes. They just pick and choose when it's a ball and when it's a strike.
D+ is pretty harsh for Caleb. Not a great performance, but he made some good reads and had some nice throws as he got settled.
The markets haven't been particularly efficient in quite some time.
Shutting down Auschwitz because it was built on an endangered turtle's habitat.
Because what really matters for Zelenskyy is saving face, not, you know, keeping his country intact. It's just impossible for these goons to imagine anyone having motives that aren't ego driven.
Pretty impressive how badly they mismanaged AR15's development from the jump. He may have never panned out anyway, but they did him zero favors. Ballard should probably put the house on the market now and get out in front of it.
I think spending so much time in a forum where you can interact with Nazis for long enough to see the good in them is probably not good for anyone's brain? I remember when those people had enough shame to keep their evil shitty opinions to themselves and that's the world I'd like to return to.
Later this season: "Joe Burrow goes 38/41 for 509 yards and 6 TDs as the Bengals lose to the Ravens 63-54"
I'm convinced these are designed to figure out who the stupid marks are, kind of like how the Nigerian Prince emails intentionally used typos.
Preseason doesn't matter except when it confirms my priors, then it's the truth and I won't hear otherwise. 🐻 ⬇️
RIGHT INTO MY VEINS, KEVIN
It's about that time of year when Chris Ballard texts Andrew Luck to see if he wants to come back.
Higgins is too, no? At least on the unofficial one on the Texans website.
This is the Josh Allen I wanted to see on Hard Knocks and instead we got neutered choir boy Josh Allen and I was so disappointed.
"If it bleeds, it leads." And in a city with millions of people, there is always some bleeding, even if you're statistically safer than people in much less dense areas. Plus there's a greater chance some brown person is involved, which really amps up the irrational fear for half of America.
Are Hoobastank good guys or bad guys? I could see it either way.
Based on the number of times my wife has accidentally scratched our kids with her normal ass ring, Cristiano's kids all gonna be looking like Rocky in the 10th round.
The good news is all the candidates are blue when I vote for whichever of their primary opponents isn't 106 years old and interested in maintaining "decorum." So I'm following their rule.
Can Roberts find one other justice to go along with the liberals in his annual bid to give the libs one W so we can go back to pretending this court isn't controlled by partisan sociopaths? I dunno, maybe. Wouldn't shock me if he failed though.
I know it's because I was a teenager in the late 90s and everyone says their teenage music was the best ever but 90s alternative is the goat and I happen to be objectively correct about that.
A 30-second MIDI of a Smashing Pumpkins song
Corruption aside, national Dems had an opportunity to do the right thing on cannabis for years and didn't. For no good reason. Just another own goal.
Robert DeNiro of "Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle" fame...
I don't know any of these people but I want the worst for all of them.
I feel like there's so much wishcasting on Bryce. Gimme the Geno side. I think it's just as likely he's a starting QB in the NFL in 3 years as Bryce.
I'm so curious to see how many of the people that flood your mentions completely miss the point. I'm putting the over/under at 40%.
Didn't think it was possible for me to hate someone as much for their cringe as for being a Nazi, but here we are.
He's lucky he's a good coach cause his press conference vibes are alarming.
Same with Thomas Davis and some of the others. All deserve to be in the Hall of Very Good. HOF is a high bar though.
0% chance Alex Smith is a HOFer. That would be lunacy.
Dementia or non-ball knower?
Milwaukee's great. Worth a trip in the summer.
There's one of the aliens who spends roughly 80% of the 1st movie alternating between crying and screaming and that at least feels resonant in the year 2025.
Surely no one is complaining about housing and cost of living outside NY. How could that possibly apply anywhere else?
Real Neville Chamberlain vibes.
Chumbawumba indoctrinated us to accept repeated abuse by telling us they "get up again" after getting "knocked down."
Please do still register as an organ donor! I know these stories are horrifying but they're still so, so rare relative to the chance that you can save a life someday.
Way back in the day (maybe mid 90s?) they asked a bunch of women what their favorite male physique was and the winner was Bruce Willis. Strong, but didn't look like he spent 8 hours a day in the gym.
I refuse to believe anyone THAT committed to avoiding the appearance of doing anything remotely "feminine" isn't deeply closeted. That's just an unfathomable level of insecurity.
Sports coverage is still a glaring weakness for Bluesky and it pisses me off so badly when stuff like this happens. It's gonna continue to be a deficit until people can be a little bit normal here.
The rare infinity ratio 5 hours later, very impressive.
Marlins fans shouting "there are dozens of us. Dozens!"
Look, just because technology and nutrition and training and analytics are dramatically better now, and just because MLB players don't have to work a shift at the meat packing plant during the day doesn't mean guys weren't hitting 60 ft longer home runs 80 years ago.
There are two types of people on the left now: those who still believe institutions in their current form are salvageable, and those who don't. Every new day further validates people who believe the latter.
Can't wait for the Times to develop object permanence and stop taking things the Trump administration says at face value. Hopefully we still have something resembling a democracy and rule of law by the time they figure it out.
Yeah I will accept the hate about our delusion about Fields. Nobody ever thought Flus was gonna take us to the promised land though.
They don't even talk about it as money you can spend on things anymore, which is hilarious to me. All the bitching about the dollar not being backed by gold anymore and they put all their money in something that is literally backed by nothing except collective delusion.
Alternatively, she resigned with nothing left to accomplish following MechaHitler rollout.
That's exactly why they're pushing through this policy. The people who would endorse a political candidate from the pulpit will be doing so almost exclusively for Republicans.
I can't remember who said it originally, but someone pointed out Democrats only do well when there's a fresh face who's young and energetic and represents the potential for a better future. And yet they're somehow hellbent on destroying those people every time they've popped up for the last decade.
Democrats winning elections means most of the really bad things stop, but very few good things happen. So it's 0 steps forward and then 3 steps back when Republicans win again.
Maybe bad football takes are the thing that can unite the country. Non-ball knowers of all political leanings can come together and talk about who has the "clutch gene."
"Time to put the beers down, you'll shorten your prime"
For better or worse, the quality of that discourse is about on par with Twitter. I guess that means we have the juice? Even if the juice is kinda sour and probably expired.
"Distract" is one verb they could use. "Embarrass" is probably a more accurate one.
Has there ever been a Sean Payton offense where the between-the-tackles RB was the only viable fantasy option? Not sure I can think of one.
I know you have to cut it off at some point, but it is not worth breaking out that top quintile into further segments? I assume people making $200k a year are not seeing $50k in benefits - that's reserved for that top 0.1%.
You can also just type a dash and then space after it and it should automatically turn into an em dash. I refuse to sit back and let the prince of punctuation catch all these strays.
Which of those five things you listed do Allen and Lamar not have? Because to me they have all of them. I also would have assumed "top 5 in the league" would put Hurts behind Mahomes, Allen, and Lamar, but it seems like you're arguing for Hurts as top 2?
I'm going to use this intentionally bad example to make a point, but Joe Flacco was also a Super Bowl champion and Super Bowl MVP. It doesn't necessarily make you a top 5 QB.
Kinda gives the game away. Children are something to have as a means of personal enrichment, rather than any intrinsic value. These people are true sociopaths.
Man they tried to make him a thing though. Some all-time fumbling of the bag by him and his pudding brain.
Do any of these people NOT get gigs as right wing pundits? This has to be the smoothest pipeline to moderate wealth in human history.
When I was 8 it was between those and Celeste Pizzas for One if I was getting my own pizza meal, and brother let me tell you, given the choice I would take those Bagel Bites every time.
And beyond that, the way he's getting rich is by stealing IP and optimizing a tool so that it can do the job of 75% of Americans. There's not enough wealth distribution by any means to undo that kind of damage.
France refused to invade Iraq with us and people tried to rename French Fries to freedom fries. Can't imagine what the reaction in the US would be if someone bombed us.
Appropriate that a very white Abe Lincoln is speaking up with that take.
Gaslighting might be the most consistent principle of the Republican Party at this point. No one died from Covid. January 6th was a peaceful protest. Medicaid will be strengthened by this bill. Scary brown people are invading your city to murder your kids.
I think we need to bring back a 1950s style top marginal tax rate of 90% for people netting $100k a year on gambling. Can't think of anyone contributing less to society.
The charitable explanation is that people have repressed those memories because of trauma but in reality I think the media and bad faith actors have done just about everything in their power to make people think it wasn't actually that bad.
Decades of Republicans working the refs has paved the way for this shit. They now have cover to do illegal, evil, unprecedented things because to paint them as illegal, evil, and unprecedented would be "biased."
I don't think there's an NFL franchise where a majority of the fans aren't chuds. It's just something we have to acknowledge and try to counterbalance as best we can.
Oy guv! I've been waiting for me time to shine, I 'ave!
Their passing offense would always been good given the personnel, but is there actual data to support how their soul-crushing defense necessitates more passing? I've always just assumed that was case, but I don't know how much is anecdotal vs. being supported by analytics.
Which one is the dragon popcorn bucket?
