The most Detroit Lions thing ever would be for Hooker to be put in because Goff had a couple average games. I don't think this group of coaches would do that though.

I think the alt-Right are banking that the Neckbearded violent Jan6 rioters are going to gain more sympathy from the general voting public before November 2024. Sympathy for the Neck Beard was a deep cut song from the Rolling Stones.

I think a group of them would like to vote for Nikki Haley but she's an Other to them.

Yeah, its a notable increase in his percentage. He might be taking vote from Casey Desantis and her husbandoid.

How does Mike Pence poll at 6% when he is . . . Mike Pence. The violent MAGAs have to hate him. The small nevertrump still in the Party group probably would rather throw in with Christie because he is in full DGAF mode. I guess the Christian evangelicals who dislike Trump group is around 6% of the GOP primary voting pop?

Why did the Packers draft Aaron Rogers at the end of round 1 when they had a perfectly serviceable Brett Favre?

Yeah, I'd be good with that.

Impressions of media in NATO land: The public is leading on the revulsion at Russia. News on French, British, Belgian, German and Dutch TV was very hostile to Russia/Putin.

Actually, as I read it...with my morning caffeine...its about not chilling the witnesses.

Missed this one in its entirety. I do not understand this team's crapitude at home. Crapitude on the road I would understand as being normal.

Yeah, this requires action on the part of the judge. This is a threat to Biden, the AG, the special counsel and the Judge.

So, eclectic lair?

the allies in 1814 and 1815 had to figure one of these out. At first they put Napoleon on an island easy to depart with 1000 of his hand picked men (not sure the exact number). He departed and came back to France and scared everyone again. Welp...don't make that mistake again. The solution is to find an island very geographically remote -- St Helena in the South Atlantic. So, possibly we could put him in Antarctica or Wake or Midway Islands. Maybe Bikini Atoll?

the perverse incentive structure of a losing team is somewhat at fault. Doing the needful to win a game isn't as important to the bottom line as doing the things that get you paid in terms of individual metrics.

The Spetznatz have a motorcycle gang in the area

Listening to BBC coverage while i'm here on vacation in central Europe, I noted a bit too much both-sides-ism from the anchors when they would ask the US-based reporters basic stuff. The US-based reporters would correct a lot of misguided stuff.

Its a really interesting comparison. It really does show that talent matters and the small ball tactical stuff is just ... chrome on the bumper. Atlanta won 101 games but was below water in 1-run games 17-25. That's interesting. Their blowout numbers (wins of 5+ runs) was 37-19. Detroit lost 119 and was above water in 1-run games 19-18. The blowout number was 7-40 UGH!

My frustration with them being in a bunch of extra inning losses is mainly because they had to fight their tails off to be in those games where being better in the first place would have avoided that outcome. The fact that Eric Haase can’t get a runner over and Javy Baez WON’T are just symptoms.

Team culture matters when players don't toss extra inning games away because with a runner on 2nd they refuse to hit the ball to the right side or go for the kill shot hit. This team has multiple losses just from that this season.

today could be like a two-fer

Yes he is!

I was thinking he would be eating the checkers pieces

so good!

Not Paul Ryan’s best moment
