Kraft admitted he put Mayo in a bad situation, so Kraft was basically judging him on *his* growth as a coach. The Chargers game, with its "coaches' decision" fiasco, pretty much sealed Mayo's fate.

YOLOing out of that spot would've put New England in essentially the same spot that Minnesota was in that year, but in a future draft with worse talent available.

Patriots QB Drake Maye and OC Josh McDaniels stand side-by-side watching the defense near the end of a football game. McDaniels tells Maye, "We're just getting started." Final score: Patriots 42, Panthers 13.

OMG. The New York JEST, er, Jets finished that game with:
* –10 net passing yards
* A 1:1 ratio of completions to sacks (45 yards gained, 55 yards lost)
* Less than 4 yards of offense per minute of possession

Comic

Panel one. Stick finger singing, "Raindrops on rose/ And whiskers on kittens."

Panel two. Same stick figure holding pot and singing, "Bright copper kettles leave/ ...Flakes on my mittens!?"

Panel three. Same figure still holding pot and singing, "Hey, these are stone with a copper veneer!"

Fourth panel. Same stick figure has put down pot and is singing, "I've been bamboozled by Ea-Nāşir!"

Mike: One question about McDaniels and Maye: how much ability does Maye have to call an audible if he sees a matchup he likes/doesn't like? e.g., according to SiriusXM, Kyler Murray *didn't* have the ability to audible out of that final run play in their loss to TEN this week.

Unless they're kissing GOP ass, and even then the GOP just barely tolerates them (see: Scott, Tim; Robinson, Mark).

The way I put it is "pro-forced birth." As Barney Frank put it, Republicans believe that "life begins at conception and ends at birth."

You can literally count the number of doctors in this country who perform third-trimester abortions on at most two hands, and IIRC one.

Post-viability abortions need to be allowed, but literally nobody is advocating for infanticide except in Republican fever dreams. 2/2

JFC. Do they *actually* believe that there is an epidemic of women who wake up a week before their due date and decide "Screw this pregnancy sh*t, I'm getting an abortion today" *and* that there are people encouraging this? 1/2

Isn't there a study that shows almost everyone feels pop music reached its peak when they were in their teens?

Also, since apparently states can force providers to explain the "risks" of abortion procedures before doing them (even when it's a bunch of BS), they should force providers to read such a statement (even better if it's all true) before sessions.

Here in DFW we've already been getting local ads on a near daily basis for months either urging us to call this [redacted] and "thank" him for being a Tr*mp bootlicker or him bragging about it.

In Virginia, he had 10% more Dem primary voters in 2020 than he did in 2016. The problem was the total number of primary voters basically *doubled* in that span.

His strategy was to turn out his voters and hope the rest didn't coalesce around one candidate.

I read it. The only way I was able to get through it was by assuming it was meant as satire.

It'll be "awesome" to see how they square the circle in saying that compelling doctors to lie about abortions is OK but banning conversion therapy isn't.
