Why are they called wingers instead of Goal Miners?

Tom blocked me on Twitter long, long ago back when I still had an account.

I'd recently read his book about the death of expertise and, when I pointed out that something he said on Twitter was in contradiction with his book, he took exception. 🤷

as a kid growing up right-wing i regularly heard people express their desire for "a government so small I can drown it in the bathtub". imagine my surprise growing up to realize i was the only one who actually believed that.

I thought all of TalkSport was like this. Was I wrong about that? I've never seen a reference to TalkSport that wasn't accompanied by some blowhard saying something inflammatory and easily refutable.

Hey @atticus59914029.bsky.social , based in n this repost, you should look up the Sampson Boat Co on YouTube. I think you'll find his project interesting. Start from the beginning.

It's the effort that really sets him apart.

At this speed you can really watch Chris Jones' defensive prowess just pop off the screen

*beat writers

Sigh....this is what I get for trusting voice-to-text.

Would you rather cover Jamo or Saint?

In other words, would you rather have a cardiac while trying to keep up or would you rather have your ankles broken?

We seem to treat quarterbacks as though the only difficult thing they do is throw and run; but I'd argue the only reason they have to throw and run in difficult circumstances is because they didn't do the difficult work between the ears that would have made their job easier.

But doesn't that mean that PFF, along with many others, are undervaluing the decision making that makes efficient quarterbacks efficient?

Do we undervalue decision making because it's the part that's the hardest to measure or because it's the part that's hardest to see?

Some noise coming from Lions beat riders and some vocal defense coming from PFF about how their QBR works.

Golf for instance, finished the last game with a 68.2 rating. Which PFF have said is because golf is just really efficient and hasn't had to make hard throws or keep a play alive with his feet

Against Hendrickson, It's probably fair to ask how his performance stacked up against anyone. Lots of guys get cooked by Hendrickson, rookies and veterans alike.

A great experiment in self-governance is going to come to an end because we threw our toys out of the crib because we got bored of them.

That these people misunderstand that they don't get to acquire the drama and become a second-rate sports fan for their political team while continuing to reap the benefits of long-term prosperity is what will end our nation.

30% of our voting age population has just decided to throw away our Republic for no great reason other than boredom. long-term prosperity is boring. Long-term stability is boring. Incremental improvements in the human condition simply don't provide enough drama.

Cheese steaks are also one of life's great pleasures.

Eat-aly is an adventure I'll never stop having.

This is the way

What your favorite? I'm a Lou Malnati guy myself.

All the stuff, obviously.

Also, for the record, a proper Chicago Deep Dish is one of life's great pleasures.

Chicago is one of my favorite places and I've never felt unsafe even when I've gotten away from the popular attractions and explored other neighborhoods for interesting food options.

Probably the most dangerous thing I've personally encountered in Chicago is a Chicago Handshake. Malört is toxic.

Well, when I was there last weekend I thought the service at the wine bar I visited was a little slow and they did have some lanes closed on a couple roads for construction. So definitely the worst city in the world.

In emotional homecoming, David Montgomery proves why Lions swear by him Despite being often overlooked by outsiders in Detroit's explosive offense, Montgomery's emotional two-touchdown return home with his sister and family in the crowd demonstrates his vital role in the ...

In emotional homecoming, David Montgomery proves why Lions swear by him

"David is that heartbeat guy ... He’s going to do whatever it takes. He’ll stick his face up there in protection. He’ll run the dirty runs ... He’s all f****** team."

Great article

neutral fan watching the Tigers/Mariners series: wow, these games! so tense! what fun!
Tigers/Mariners fans watching the Tigers/Mariners series: I have eaten a great deal of my own hair.

Jared Goff has only one game this season where he’s completed less than 70% of his passes, and three games where he’s completed at least 79%. Do you understand how hard that is?

Best description of Trump possible

Agreed...and the speech about Ringo being born with a great hole inside of him and that he can never steal enough or hurt enough or kill enough to fill it just perfectly describes Trump and the path he has taken. People keep thinking he is their ally, not realizing he'll eventually consume them too.

If you've ever seen the movie Tombstone, Wyatt asks Doc what makes a man like Johnny Ringo do the things he does....

His answer describes Trump perfectly.
