Not everyone! I think the concept of having the black female prosecutor be the one to take down the racist felon has some extremely appealing attributes to it, to the party and to America generally. I can't imagine there are any number of people who would vote for Biden but not Kamala, and that's probably the most important thing to consider, if they actually entertain replacing him. The worst case scenario has to be a net neutral. But I think nominating Kamala would scare Don more than any other candidate. Kamala had her fair share of bad press early in the administration, but that seems to be past her now.

As much as I don’t like her (or any political prosecutor), a Harris/Buttigieg ticket may win running away. I don’t think Joe would allow it though and I don’t think anyone would stand up to him about it. I also don’t think it’s even necessary. It’s June. He’s just old. His opponent is a felon who led a coup.

Hey now, lawyers have to eat too!! 😉

How much time did he spend on this closing statement for it to be this incoherent?

Biden looks like he’s 20 years older than Trump. I think it might be true that if Trump hadn’t committed so many crimes to lead to so many investigations and so many future convictions, that he wouldn’t have run for President. It’s the only sure way he sees to stay out of prison though. In any event, this doesn’t matter. There are no real undecideds in 2024. It’s all going to be decided by the turnout in 4-6 states.

If Love is for real and the Packers maintain some amount of their 2023 momentum, they will be a tough out in the North.

This is the nature of the election though. The right has nominated and rallied behind a misogynistic felon and the left has decided that standards matter to at least some extent (and then spent way too much time fighting with each other about to what extent).

Where will this debate rank amongst the top 25 football games from the past year? I think viewership will be incredibly high but the debate itself will mean incredibly little, barring an incredible gaffe on either side. I can't imagine aren't a lot of "undecided" voters so much as Biden supporters who are pissed at him about one thing or another. Both sides and their supporters will declare victory when the debate ends. The election will likely come down to turnout, which is decided in October and November, not June.

Bold of him to deny NFL rumors in... *checks notes*... June.

If they included the top 10 instead of stopping at 8, Iffy would have been #10.

Good on the NHL for doing their job instead of what would have been easy in front of the Florida crowd.

Sorry Kenny. You’re in Canada now.

They deserve it. But nahhhhhhhh

This is a damn good game seven.

Pretty good offseason for QB1. Hopefully the first of two rings he'll get in the next 365 days.

Talking heads still can't find a picture of Buggs in a Chiefs jersey.

We probably won't, but I hope Campbell and Johnson do.

I can't imagine Hooker has any value right now. He's never taken an NFL snap, or even dressed for a game outside of as an emergency 3rd option. If he was going to be traded like Matt Cassel, it would come in 2025 or 2026.

I'm skeptical he ever would have returned last year, even if there was a miraculous run. But the Jets did activate his practice window, and I don't think they would do that solely to appease him..... OK, maybe they would do that.... I do think he was pushing it though, and he did do that "speed bridge" procedure that was designed to have him return much quicker than normal. FWIW, Kirk Cousins did not get the speed bridge procedure done when he tore his Achilles. At the end of the day he's a 40-year-old dude. And 40-year-old dudes don't just jump back up from a catastrophic injury in the same way 20-year-old kids often can. The standard recovery time from an Achilles usually wouldn't even guarantee a week one return this year. He's an athlete, but he's not in the best shape of his life, and there were already signs that his best days were behind him in 2022. He threw for the fewest amount of yards in any complete season in his career and the most picks since his rookie year. If you're a believer in QBR, that was also a career low. Even healthy, I wouldn't be confident if I was a Jets fan that we were getting the 2021 MVP as opposed to 2022 mediocrity.

At the bar tonight I was approached by someone in a Nats hat who saw my Lions sweatshirt and asked me my thoughts on Hendon Hooker and whether the Lions should trade him. Rather bizarre given the timing of this thread. I’m sure Brad and Dan will think about backup QB and Hooker’s development. I just don’t intend to (because Goff is invincible and will never ever get hurt). Fans aren’t going to see enough from Hooker in the preseason to tell anything anyway. Even if he plays all 12 quarters, he’s too young in his NFL development, and the preseason is not a representative sample (good or bad). They still have good ole Nate Sudfeld on the roster. I expect them to keep him around as the emergency third QB.

Backup QB is not a position I intend to think about for the next three years. Unless Hooker is taking a knee or handing the ball off to Craig Reynolds up 31. At that point I’ll be enough beers in to have a good laugh at his name again.

I don't like him because of the anti-science self-righteous BS. I don't believe in him because of everything else you said. I also wouldn't be surprised if his rushing recovery last year to get back in time for the playoffs set him back in his recovery. A torn Achilles is effectively the worst injury you could possibly suffer as an athlete. You don't just rush recovery to come back four months later.

It just feels to me like he’s eschewed the steps that make any other aging QB great in favor of hot takes and pseudoscience. If it works for him, more power to him. But I don’t think it will.

I thought Inside Out 2 was well done. Speaking as someone who appreciates diversity in art and understands the significance of representation…. I think the diversity of a girls youth hockey team in Northern California may have been a bit overplayed. And the protagonist got totally jobbed on a penalty. For what? Interference? Roughing? She was shooting the puck! The sports realism is worse than Air Bud. Anyway, yes, it was a good movie.

I can’t wait for the Jets to go 7-10 this year.
