To be fair, at one time both the Patriots and the Bucs were included in that group. And that dogshit or champion group is actually better than another group. The often capable but can't get over the hump group. The Oilers. Bills. Vikings. To a lesser extent the Bengals and Texans. Making the playoffs means shit in the end.

Perhaps. Also even Brady couldn't save the Jets.

You're young. Shaq did it better than LeBron did.

Detroit is underrated as a place. I like it better than Boston personally. It has both a heart and an edge. And Detroit is cold, but Boston is the coldest place in the United States where people actually live. Brady lives on 23rd street in Manhattan. If he is going to dig deep, may as well do it for the Jets.

February 18th.

Mahomes played a phenomenal game. He made some ridiculous throws in trouble that were dropped. He had no protection all night. It may very well be a different story without OL injuries. But they scored 31 last year. Bucs scored 31 this year and sat on the ball at the end. So maybe in the end, Brady was able to carve up the KC defense better than SF last year. And better than Winston could do with TB receivers. Sure it's not all Brady. People forget that Manziel owes Mike Evans every dollar he ever made. Godwin is a WR1 on most teams. But it was a mediocre squad overall and Brady took Winston's mediocre squad to a title.

Retire? We aren't talking about Peyton Manning here. Brady has 5 more years left. At least. I'd like to see a Houston title. But Brady isn't going to go to an organization that shitty. Detroit. Closer but not seeing it. People act like TB was dogshit before, but that WR corps may be the best Brady has ever played with. While he could be the best hired hand ever, not everyone is ready for his services.

He needs to drop the mic after this one. Winning a SB is hard. Go out on top. Winning a superbowl is hard. But Tom Brady doesn't know that. Done what he can with the Bucs. Time to go to Cleveland.

Those backup tackles for KC were getting wrecked all night. 75 especially. Story of the game really. Even so, there were a handful of Mahomes throws where he was in the grasp and still hit his receiver in the face mask. If they catch those, its a different game. His receivers played like they expected a sack and that fucked the team. Mahomes actually played his ass off under the circumstances.

Yep. And now Belichick is going under the microscope. He's gonna need to do better than 7-9 without Brady. He is getting old, but Brady could take this years Browns to the Superbowl. He is that level. But Mahomes may get there. He played the whole game under immense pressure with zero blocking and was a few dropped passes from making this interesting. But no matter how good he gets, he won't have Bradys longevity. Brady ain't throwing that many passes while getting folded in half.

Tom Brady had a hall of fame career. Then he got injured. Then he came back and had an entirely separate hall of fame career. Now he is working on his third. And he is actually that good. He should have two separate hall of fame displays, each of which may very well make him the best player of all time by itself. Together, its not even close.

I think having different systems in different states provides some resiliency. If a foreign power wants to truly attack a voting system, its hard for them to make much leeway now. A one stop shop makes it much easier for them to make big waves. Only things I would do is allow political observers (already allowed), allow foreign observers (like the UN), and maybe randomly link 2 states together to double check each other's counts (change the states every cycle) in close races. Who cares how long it takes to count if you get it right? So a few more things I'd add. Every state published the ballot count order prior to election day (absentee, mail-in, in-person or vice versa). Voting demographics are known to vote differently from one another. It should be a felony for anyone to attempt to stop a count, to question the integrity of the election based on count order, or to declare a winner while the other candidate still has a statistical, even if unlikely, chance of winning. In short, there is really no problem with our system that just counted 150 million votes. The problem is that the loser needs to take the loss and stop being a pussy. You don't get to make shit up to try to make the loss go away.

Damn, you were talking about my dream girl there up until the dog killing part. If I'm waking up about to get stabbed, the night before must have been fun.

You arrogant ass. You've killed us!!

Yep. If they want to pull some of it back, then make it subject to income tax.

Surprised its that low. Trump did get over 74 million votes. Thats a shitload of Karens and Cletuses. Gonna need workplaces to mandate it.

Isn't the end times supposed to go pretty poorly for Israel. I get using Christians for short term gains, but what is Israel's plan for when evangelicals start to set up the final battle? I guess the Dome of the Rock has to be destroyed first to set up the new temple. Israel has no desire to do that part either. So evangelical terrorists are probably gonna try to make that happen at some point too.

Probably waiting on the impeachment to conclude.

Is it possible for him to convert that PAC to personal income? Maybe just declare it and pay taxes on it? I've never donated to a PAC so I don't know if you can put strings on your donations. Or what happens to PAC money if they dissolve. Either way, Trump is a bit of a fool for even sticking with the charade. His followers would absolutely give him millions of dollars with no strings attached. All he would need to do is pay taxes on it, and then he can live his dream life.

Aren't they boycotting the super bowl because of players kneeling? Maybe buy some ads during Osteen or the 700 club instead.

So Myanmar and Burma are actually the same word? Even Austin couldn't fuck up a pronunciation that bad.

It sucks that we have fallen so far that sooners feel sorry for us now.

Who said there aren't? It does help that for single issue Dem voters like pro-choice voters, the GOP is less progressive on pretty much every other issue as well. The Dems aren't perfect for progressive issues, but they are better than the alternative on every single one. They dont have to hold their nose and vote for a white supremacist because they want to keep abortion legal. And right now, the Dem party is tearing itself apart based on policy disagreements. The Rep party is tearing itself apart based on a cult of personality. One driven by the fact that GOP voters simply didn't care if Trump took over the party. And also, I dont trust the judgment of anyone who would vote for Trump for any reason really.

Very little of that chunk in the middle sees unrestricted gun ownership as their number one issue. Once you decide to put guns over other issues, you are a locked in R voter, or D voter if you support gun control as your number one issue. Once you say, "I care more about owning this AR-15 than I do about Americans having Healthcare, humane treatment of undocumented immigrant children, or a competent pandemic plan," you were never going to vote D. Never pander to single issue voters. Whether the single issue is a real belief or an excuse, they simply don't cross over even if you cave. When you look at the adult population of Texas, there aren't that many CHL licensees nor are there that many hunters. Old school Texans like yourself still think of that old school Texas, but the population boom is made up largely of people that don't hunt. They may have a handgun in their home, but don't carry it around, and will still keep it no matter how they vote on gun control. But they also didn't move from Ohio to the Dallas burbs to be around minorities, and will use the little white lie to avoid saying that.

The real problem with the gun issue is that its just an excuse. There isn't a single "Dems are gonna take your guns" voter who would even vote for a Dem that was so pro gun that they wanted to get rid of all background checks and allow nationwide open and concealed carry. Pro-gun people use guns as an excuse so they can just punch that R ticket without having to think about actual issues. And they will continue to do that no matter what the Dem candidate thinks about guns. Sometimes, there is an underlying issue they dont want to admit drives them, like white supremacy. But most times, it is just simple laziness or the desire to stick it to "libs." In a way, this is why the GOP has gotten so shitty. Their voters don't ask for any accountability at all, and don't really give a fuck what they do with power as long as they keep that R by their name. An R could vote to ban guns and still win the pro gun vote.
