  1. CTJ wrote he thinks the source is Jerrah and that's as good a guess as any. In fact, I'd say it seems very likely. For several reasons, the source was almost certainly an NFL owner or someone in their close circle. We can also surmise it's definitely not Sexton nor a bmd for the simple reason it's in none of their interests to leak that info about Sark at this point in the season. The reporter who got the quote about Sark also wasn't around a bmd nor Sexton last week, however she was at the NFL owner's meeting. The original NYT report is by now pretty well buried on The Athletic site but it was written by a reporter whose job is to cover the NFL. She covered last week's NFL owner's meetings and that's where someone apparently gossiped to her about Sark looking for an NFL job. Jerrah is well-known to be a big gossip. The line about Sark is but one sentence at the end of a longish article - maybe 1000 words, all about the NFL except for the Sark mention. The reporter dropped the "I'm told..." about Sark in the context of discussing what certain NFL owners are saying about their own teams and the league. The use of "I'm told" means she had but a single source. If she had more than one source, she and her editor would have printed that. Her article not only quotes Jerrah extensively about NFL matters, the reporter also wrote about him very favorably - some would say even fawningly. The rule of thumb when there is an unnamed source is that you can almost always find them quoted elsewhere in the article and that person will be treated favorably within the article. And then you have to analyze who would be motivated to make the statement AND ask for non-attribution. The rule of thumb applies to the Cowboys owner on all counts.
  2. Which has nothing to do with last week. They're fucking with anyone they see on the streets. If you're concerned about criminals they are in fact working for ICE and at the Trump Shiite House. If it were about the knock-offs, 1) NYPD would've been there, and 2) the brands supposedly being infringed know how to make that happen.
  3. Maybe I don't understand the point of the post. Giuliani (of all people another gigantic hypocrite and felon) tried a Zero Tolerance police strategy when he was mayor in NYC and it was a huge failure in multiple ways. Whatever dipshit above referred to "public disorder" deserves one kick in the head and another to the nuts.
  4. 5 federal police agencies deployed in riot gear to tame potential trademark law violations. Who doesn't support that? <The ironic thing is that people with money who don't want to pay street price can order that shit from the comfort of home. Same way dotard's failson orders his cocaine.>
  5. Yeah it would be wild if someone at the supreme court were to leak insider details. Would never happen. Oh wait.
  6. speaking of a shitstain who's trying to destroy the country -
  7. Off the BT - betting on the fall of the tariffs regime taking place
  8. Yes, it's a "that" Haley. And they got owned. From reddit
  9. Did you ask for your eggs to be overcooked and dry af, or did they come that way? Thanks, Westin!
  10. I'm 3 eps in on season 5. I don't recall the previous 4 seasons using continual character stupidity in order to move the plot forward but it's been awhile since I watched season 4 and I haven't rewatched any. Season 5 isn't terrible but it seems lacking in sophistication.
  11. I don't disagree. fwiw the filing deadline isn't until March 2026, there's 5 other candidates currently besides the former ex-Gov, and the primary is June 9.
  12. lol the idiots seriously thought they could trust Netanyahu https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/us-official-if-netanyahu-fks-up-the-deal-donald-trump-will-f-k-him-report/ Correspondent Barak Ravid, speaking in Hebrew on the network, says that a US official told him, “Netanyahu is walking a fine line with President Trump. If he keeps going, he’ll f**k up the Gaza deal. And if he f**ks up the deal, Donald Trump will f**k him.” “In English, it sounds even cruder,” news anchor Yonit Levi noted at the end of Ravid’s report. The remark reflects growing frustration in Washington with recent political moves in Israel, particularly the Knesset’s vote yesterday to advance two bills to annex parts of the West Bank, which reportedly stunned US officials. The source told Ravid that US Vice President JD Vance, who was visiting Israel at the time, was shocked by the decision and believes that Israel is acting in an “unsupervised” manner. Netanyahu updated Vance about the Knesset vote during the vice president’s visit, assuring him that it was merely a “preliminary vote” and would “go nowhere,” the public broadcaster Kan reported. Vance responded, “This cannot happen while I am visiting here.”
  13. Oh no. Anyway, dot gif https://www.thedailybeast.com/maga-site-took-money-to-unmask-charlie-kirk-criticsthen-vanished/
  14. nyt at Noon today https://archive.ph/oVfUw#selection-495.0-499.167 Virginia Democrats Plan to Redraw House Maps in Redistricting Push The surprise move could give Democrats two or three additional House seats and is likely to scramble the last couple weeks of campaigning ahead of the Nov. 4 election.
  15. Nearly two-thirds of Americans believe the U.S. is headed in the wrong direction, fueled by dissatisfaction with President Trump's impact on the economy, immigration, race relations and the nation's global standing, according to a new poll with a big, broad sample. Even among Republicans, a significant share — nearly 30% — gave Trump low marks on the economy and how the government is functioning. axios https://archive.ph/7jlBu
  16. There's hope that Indiana may not become an even larger homeland for nazis
  17. I love this for Orban
  18. That was easy. The aws-operated "smart bed" was made smarter by enabling it to operate off-line.
  19. The NYC raid was with no involvement from NYPD. Just ICE, FBI, DEA, ATF, IRS-CI and CBP. They've kept quiet about it, a sign of an authoritarian gov't. They detained citizens, protestors and vendors. gift link https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/federal-agents-detain-mix-of-protesters-and-migrants-in-massive-manhattan-sweep related
  20. Dotard has probably already pilfered the US Treasury's $230MM
  21. I'll jump in with some Firenze hotel recs. Palazzo Montebello can be great value when the rates at other Florence hotels are at their max. I suggest at least a jr suite - they're spacious and lovely. The hotel itself is elegant and not in the tourist district (it's on the river) which is a short walk away. If you want something amazing that's not the Four Seasons, maybe take a look at Antica Torre or Grand Hotel Minerva. Antica Torre is located amongst the designer boutiques. Grand Minerva is on Piazza Santa Maria Novella near the Duomo. Restaurants - 4 Leoni. Amazing food (but each of these suggestions do...). Has a wine bar and a bistro. Mastro Ciliegia - has a casual bottega for drinks and light food, and a great restaurant as well. Trattoria Zaza is also a favorite.
  22. uhoh
