I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints. The sinners are much more fun.

Agree that Pats fans shouldn't get too excited.

- a veteran stopgap RT
- a good LB, but off-ball LB don't move the needle in free agency
- a pretty good CB, but that's an inconsistent position

Draft generally matters more than free agency.

Like this a lot. Good value for an experienced, consistent vet who can play both man+zone while they continue developing the young corners.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

Baker taking his panicked "oh shit" moments in pocket forward instead of backward might be enough to get the Bucs downfield

The NFL penalizing players for gun motions is laughable man. In the United States of America. That’s all I’ll say.

If I had to choose my favorite moment from LeBron James career it would have to be the time I beat him one on one and he told me that he was passing the torch of greatest player on earth to me

Well I am already surprised by these picks lol.

Iliana Rupert, former Ace, intriguing big if the shot actually falls consistently.

Veronica Burton picked has to mean Olivia Nelson-Ododa was safe.

Going with Conde/Leite is interesting; wonder if they actually come over this year.

It’s funny that we are all acknowledging that private health care is an absolute bureaucratic nightmare designed to limit treatment at the expense of patients’ lives and lots of people still believe that trans kids are just walking into medical facilities and getting treatment without question.

Donald Trump pardoned his buddies Roger Stone and Mike Flynn.

Spare me the fake outrage about Biden pardoning his son.

Takes like this are nuts. How did Trump justify his last couple hundred pardons, one more nakedly obscene, political and personal than the next? Answer - he didn’t. Trump doesn’t bother justifying or explaining anything He does what he wants. Always has, always will. Wake up.

Hell, I don't even like this fucking pardon.

But I recognize that the prosecution was the result of unprecedented corruption.

Literally the same people saying Trump will conduct unprecedented politicization of DOJ are ALSO saying, it is unjust to use a pardon to reverse his successful efforts to do that in his first term.
