  1. What is the United States if not a giant casino?
  2. Well, Quinn was objectively two of two yesterday. He was playing decent, got hobbled in the 2nd quarter, then shit all over himself and really lathered it up in the 2nd half. We just have a good enough defense and running game to not lose against a 4-7 team. I’m not saying Arch should start if Quinn is healthy, but we aren’t winning another game if our offensive game plan is limited to what we were capable of in the 4th quarter yesterday.

  4. Love that drive, just demoralizing for a defense.
  5. This is not how I remember the Letters to Penthouse.

    Watched the first two episodes with my wife tonight and we are both hooked. Its not nearly as over the top as Yellowstone, which is like The Sopranos in Big Sky country. I think this is a more nuanced and better show, hands down. Billy Bob is as perfect as the daughter's ass.
  8. The billionaires will stay billionaires, especially if they are sitting on a pile of crypto. But life would get very hard for everyone with less than a 7 figure net worth. Mas or menos.
  9. I am guessing about like the 1994 Mexican peso crisis?

"Feral and not trained" emus Thelma and Louise on the loose in South Carolina as state's monkey search continues
  11. So, like, some kind of crazy Cuban Buckee’s?
  12. Agree with ya.
  13. The unfortunate consequence of losing someone's faith is that you no longer get the benefit of the doubt. It takes a lot to regain it.
  14. Hey, I like things the way they are, too. But people voted for radical and unknowable change. The populace was given ineffectual and increasingly histrionic warnings that fell on deaf ears. And now no one can do anything about it until things get bad enough to result in a groundswell of support for a return to the way things were, if it ever arises. Trump breaking the economy may very well happen. It has yet to happen. What is an undeniable fact is that too few people give a shit about the hypotheticals for them to carry any weight. People will need to see and feel pain in their lives for these messages to resonate in their mind. Here's to it being not as bad as feared around here.
  15. I am personally kind of tired of this kind of "speculative scenarios wherein voters faces are eaten by the leopard they voted for". Along with the "This soundbite destroys person X" and "unnamed sources close to the President say" items that are thrown around here like they are proven facts. What this lady describes could very well prove to be accurate, but right now it's just worst-case conjecture about how Trump's deportation plans will be executed. The jury of the court of public opinion registered its antipathy to this type of messaging during the election. All it does is scare A) scare the shit out of people who are already scared or B) make you seem unhinged to the people that need to won over to a counter-MAGA movement. For most voters, the general idea that "anyone in this country illegally should be deported" is not in and of itself a bad thing. Like I don't categorically disagree with that. Do I have a lot of confidence the incoming administration will carry that out justly with a scalpel vs a hatchet? No. But this is not a tangible and real concern for a distracted populace who voted for an economic breather. Events need to be allowed to play out. Don't propagate conjecture about citizens having to prove they are in the country legally, propagate the videos of people being wrongly deported if and when it happens. This hypothetical doomcasting is part of the informational overload that is leading people to tune out and choose to be an uninformed voter. For better or worse, the average citizen is going to need to witness some leopards ripping apart faces before they really start to consider, let alone buy into, the rhetoric.
  16. In the spirit that brevity is the soul of wit -- Fucktucky.
  17. They are in rural areas especially.
  18. Is that like an Iowa poll or an accurate poll?
  19. Those Mary Kayes have always been a looker. Almost bought a reissue once. Send pics when you buy it
  20. Disagree it’s just a feet mechanics issue. He doesn’t actually have to be pressured to get nervous. He just has to see a blitzer coming. Their rushers may not even be engaged with our linemen before Quinn is trying to figure out what to do in a pocket that has yet to collapse. That’s mental, not mechanical.
  21. Yeah, but… that’s not what causes him to wilt on days where he’s not able to essentially play 7 on 7. It does not take much to get Quinn out of his game where he’s thinking more about the rush than what’s going on down field. And that’s somewhat damming for Someone at Quinn’s level of experience. He should see the blitz coming and start watering at the mouth with the opportunities it presents down field. If I was a D coordinator playing Texas, I would blitz early and make sure to get some licks on Quinn even if it cost a couple flags on Texas first two drives. If you let him just play 7 on 7, you are going to be down two touchdowns anyway en rout to getting blown out.
