They haven't won a conference title since 1980. I'm not sure that standard is realistic for Belichik "working." If he stays 3 years and it's in a good place when he leaves(in addition to the revenue producing juice), I would guess most UNC fans/administrators are happy.

This was the controversy? I hadn't even bothered to look this up because I didn't care, but people were upset that they got rid of the old man in their logo and just had a plain, boring logo? That's insane.

I laughed at the Jets thing, but he is bad. Jets were going to cut him. He's a vested vet so no waivers. Just wait for him to get cut and sign him on Tuesday. There wasn't going to be a bidding war for him.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
Nnadi is a vested veteran. He doesn't have to go through waivers when cut.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
He has played for them and knows the system. It's been years since he played well.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
He's proven to be bad. They aren't really giving up enough for this to matter, but this doesn't make a ton of sense. The Jets were going to cut him. I can't imagine there were tons of people banging down the door to sign him.

Voting for candidates that actually align with your views isnt a throwaway vote. It's a big problem that people like you think that way. Everyone in this thread is telling you clearly why they won't support Newsom. Pick someone that isn't willing to take away rights from people to appease fascists.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
The Democrats need to pick candidates that actually inspire people to vote for them for positive reasons. The platform needs to be more than "not Trump." Stop telling everyone to vote for the lesser of two evils. We need to strive to have someone good.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
Democrats should pick a candidate that doesn't want to take basic human rights from any groups of people if they want support from those groups. This isn't difficult.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
How many groups are you ok with taking basic human rights away from before it becomes a problem for you?

I want 40 games of fully healthy Sixers next year(I know this is probably impossible, but still). I just want to see if the vision could've worked in a world where Embiid isn't cursed. I really like the roster if you could turn off injuries because unlike GSW, I think the Sixer young guys are good.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
This is a "fun" game too. You can then tell people you went to Bryant's and then every single person in town will tell you about how you made a mistake while doing a 7 minute presentation on why you should've gone to their favorite place.

No real homework yet for them. When it does happen, we try to get it done early. They are allowed to stay up basically as late as they want if they want to read on their own. But they've never pushed that too late.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
They are 7 and 9. On school nights, we usually start the process at 8:15ish and are done reading around 9 or so. They're usually out quick after that.

Assuming the suspension isn't more than 4 games, I'd rather have him weeks 1-4(Chargers, Eagles, Giants, Ravens) than weeks 5-8(Jags, Lions, Raiders, Commanders).

The Royals have been mostly sellers and mostly garbage since the early 90s. Honestly, I'm all in on an ownership group/front office that wants to be competitive now. If they're willing to spend to keep good players, I'm completely good with that.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
That's great. Most districts don't have multiple candidates that are doing that. I completely get the thought that her running in a safe D district isn't great when there are other good progressive candidates. She still seems like a very good candidate that would do good work in the house.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
They should get 30 seconds to look at 2 or 3 angles. If it's not an obvious overturn, then call stands, and we move on. This is an entertainment product. There's nothing entertaining about long delays. We should only be worried about fixing obvious blown calls.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
This is a fair critique, but the election is not until 26 and her efforts with community outreach seem to be above and beyond what we normally see from candidates. In my mind, I'd much rather have someone who is engaged, good on issues, and up for the fight even if they aren't from there.

Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
Never said it couldn't happen, just saying we aren't there yet. But we can walk and chew gum at the same time. You can call out the fascism AND let the cultist know that their cult leader is the exact pedophile that they supposedly hate. This isn't difficult.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
There are many that fit that description, but likely not enough to sustain at this point in time.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
The thing about cults is that you actually need a real cult leader that people will get behind. Sorry that you don't understand that.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
Nobody likes Vance or Vought or Miller. So while they are the true evil masterminds behind fascism, most of the cult won't actually follow them because they have the magnetism of a garden slug. For now, if you take out Trump you take out the movement.

I'm not curious. I know you're completely full of shit. I just want to watch you to try to squirm your way out of the bullshit you're saying. You can't post evidence backing up your nonsense because it doesn't exist.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
You clearly don't believe in facts or evidence. You have been consistent in that regard.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
A debunked claim is not a person getting in trouble. How fucking dumb are you?
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
There is no actual evidence showing it's anything more than what I said. Again, I would like to see stuff you can actually back up with real facts. Not just bullshit guessing. You ignoring the other 2 things I asked for? Fucking clown.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
Ok, give the minimum sentence you would find acceptable.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
What trouble did he get into at the club? Explain how he was likely impaired. Show evidence that the victims are experiencing long term/serious injuries. Please provide actual links and evidence backing up these bullshit claims. You care nothing about actual facts. You're a clown.

Considering how fast and loose you play with the facts, I don't believe you.

Sorry your boys can't beat actual good football teams in the playoffs. Rough break for you. Doesn't mean that you should root for the players from the good teams to be thrown in jail based on your feelings.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
You have provided zero facts. You invented a scenario out of thin air. You keep talking about him going to a club and "getting in trouble" when he never actually got in trouble at that club. Yes, you 100% suck.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
I've kept the actual football out of this because I would feel the same about this regardless of what team Rice played for, but I love the Chiefs absolutely owning the Ravens for you. It fills my heart with joy knowing that you guys can't get over the hump.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
There is literally zero evidence showing he was under the influence, yet your first idiotic contribution to this convo said he was "likely under the influence." You have proven that you don't give a shit about actual facts. It's just feelings and vibes for you. Again, you suck.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
But he wasn't drunk, and, as far as any of us know, he didn't actually seriously injure/kill someone. Arguing that what Rice did was worse is fucking asinine. How long do you want to throw him in jail for? Why can't you answer a simple question?
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
Seriously, you seem to not give a shit about actual facts and things that can be proven. You want to throw this man in prison based on vibes. You fucking suck, buddy.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
Ruggs was drunk and killed a person. I know you don't seem to care about what actually happened, but pretending like the Rice and Ruggs things are the same is the truly wild thing here. How long would you throw Rice in jail for? Let's see how much you love our carceral society!
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
Well, at least we found some common ground.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
I agree. I just don't think the answer to the overall problem is to start punishing everyone more. We need to move the other way.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
It's an outlier that we wouldn't already have symptoms/indication of a long-term injury, and prosecutors won't/shouldn't just assume CTE. Again, I ask, has any victim stepped up and said that this was a miscarriage of justice? And stop beating around the bush. How long? Say it with your chest.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
Fair enough, but it's harsh. We live in an overly punitive society. We incarcerate a higher percentage of our citizens than any other country on earth. We are terrible at rehabilitation. I just don't have it in me to destroy the lives of idiot 23 yo's that didn't cause great harm.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
Ok. You are talking about outlier things and kind of grasping at straws here. How long would you throw him in jail for?
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
I didn't say it would've resolved. But they would know if there was a serious/ongoing brain injury at this point.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
Sure. What's the indication that we are dealing with a moderate/severe traumatic brain injury? You have any evidence that actually backs up your assertions? Have we heard any victims today saying this is a miscarriage of justice?
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
We live in an overly punitive society that incarcerates a higher percentage of its citizens than every other country on earth. I'm not looking to ruin the lives of idiot 23 yo first time offenders who didn't badly injure people. He gets to spend 30 days in jail and is losing millions. It's fine.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
We're over a year removed from the incident. The prosecutor has a really good idea of what the injuries are looking like at this point.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent

Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
I see the privilege rich people have. I see the privilege white people have. I don't think there is an extra special athlete privilege. For a 1st time offender who wasn't drunk and apparently didn't seriously injure someone, 30 days + probation seems pretty normal. 🤷♂️
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
Reid shouldn't have got early release, but the prosecutor did actually throw him in jail for an appropriate amount of time before the corrupt governor got involved.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
100%. Had he ruined lives like Britt Reid or Henry Ruggs, he'd be in prison. He didn't, though, and what actually happened matters.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
We don't know for sure what it is. But serious injury is a big factor in what prosecutors will go for in these cases. He's probably getting more jail time if the victims were facing a lifetime of medical issues.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
But he didn't actually get into trouble at the club. Guess he should've holed up for a while after, but I'm not sure why you want to add extra punishment for a guy going to a club. Seems to have had zero incidents since. Maybe he learned his lesson.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
What trouble did he get into? That's the point. You're just firing off the cuff based on what appears to be a relatively shitty memory.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
Sounds like a concussion, cuts, and bruises. I kind of feel like we'd be hearing more about the injuries if they were awful. Britt Reid seriously injured a little girl. We haven't heard anything like that in this case. Rice should be punished. Not saying otherwise. But some of this is over the top.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
First, he had an "incident" at the club. When I pointed out that was bullshit, you changed to saying he shouldn't have even been at a club. Yes, you're moving the goalposts.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
LOL. Just keep moving those goalposts around. You'll find the sweet spot at some point.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
Which of the victims in this had years-long/lifetime medical complications from this? Buddy, maybe just try sticking to what actually happened. You don't need to make up a bunch of bullshit to make your point.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
LOL at calling it "likely." You have no fucking clue and are just throwing shit against the wall. I'm guessing if people saw him drinking at the event prior, that would've been a very big deal. Also, feel free to look up the other "incident" and let me know what actually happened there.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
Is there a single thing in the criminal charges about him being under the influence, or are you just adding in stuff to make your argument sound better?
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
What job should he be allowed to have after he's paid his debt to society? How much money should he be allowed to earn?
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
We don't, or at least we shouldn't, hand out justice by the way victims feel about it. We aren't doing eye for an eye here. Of course, Rice didn't actually injure anyone or ruin any lives here and that does actually matter when it comes to the justice that gets handed out.
Jeff Brack (@jeffbrack.bsky.social) reply parent
There is nothing inherently good or noble about a person because they happen to be good at sports. If you're putting these people on a pedestal, that's your mistake. Pro athletes have never been any better/worse than the general population when it comes to this type of thing.
