I agree on both accounts. Chargers will be players if he hits the open market. I wouldn’t count out the Lions though.

There are also reports from Rapoport though that Linderbaum's camp isn't returning the Ravens calls. DeCosta is saying the right things and I don't doubt that the Ravens want to retain him (otherwise they are replacing their entire IOL this offseason). At this point, for whatever reason (whether money, hard feelings at the Harbaugh departure, or otherwise), I think he's going to hit the open market. Does he take $21MM to go to Browns, Jets, or Titans over $19MM to return to the Ravens? I doubt it. But if it's the Seahawks, Eagles, or Lions who are willing to pony up, it might happen. If the Lions can somehow swing it, he is the closest thing to Frank Ragnow that's not Frank Ragnow.

Fake job titles are super popular in corporate America. When someone knows where all the skeletons are buried, you can’t fire them. But if they’re terrible at their job, they can’t keep doing it. So the powers “promote” them to the newly created role of “Director of Workplace Performance” and now they get paid to do nothing. Hopefully Shaw brings more value than the people I’m currently thinking of.

A fake title given to someone they want on the staff. AFAIK, there’s no rules limiting the number of coaches a team can have. And it’s not like there is a staff salary cap. So if they want to have 100 coaches they just have to pay 100. I’m sure they have a role in mind for Shaw, and that’s just the fancy title they came up with for it.

There was probably a better way to post that, but I couldn't figure it out.

The real gold medal will be seeing the Wings return at full strength and without having suffered injury during the last two weeks.

Only thing Timmy’s got going for him are his Tim Bits. I can eat 20 of those ****ing things and still feel just as good about myself. Whereas if I eat three real donuts I’ll feel like a fat ass the rest of the day.

My phone died as the OT started but my fist pump knocked a glass of water into the guy next to me. He wasn’t even upset. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

US hasn’t played like a team deserving of gold.

Powerplay will be the US last best chance.

No doubt about it. US has no business being in a tie game.

Matter of time. Really poor period all around, that was overdue.

Feels like the US is just trying to survive the period. No way they keep this 1-0 for another 24 minutes at this pace.

I thought the same thing. Hellebuyck did what he needed to, but McDavid did not get the look he should have.

Found the degenerate bar that opens at 7am for this one. Don’t serve Irish coffee, but that’d have been a bad omen anyway. Bloody Mary is strong. I’m coming to believe a certain kind of character tends to gravitate towards a bar that opens at 7am

The Chiefs are doing something similar, moving from Kansas City, Missouri to Kansas City, Kansas. It helps them though that most Americans are stupid and couldn't have told you that there are two Kansas Cities to begin with, nor that the Missouri version has 3x the population.

I'll see you your Pontiac, and raise you an Auburn Hills.

It wouldn't even be the furthest stadium from their "city" in the NFL. The Santa Clara 49ers are like 45 miles from San Francisco. The Arlington Cowboys are about 20 miles from Dallas. The Hammond Bears would be about 20-25 miles from Chicago. It's more the ineptitude of it for me. The Bears and Illinois are a bad management match made in heaven.

I tend to agree. Strictly speaking, he's not saying "Terrion Arnold is connected with two men who were arrested for armed robbery." Instead, he's saying "A FOX station in Florida is reporting that Terrion Arnold is connected..." It's a fine line, and when you're Florio, with a large audience, there comes a responsibility to do more digging than just retweeting. Hell, I think I did a better job of posting the story here in my first word being "unverified." This isn't that far removed from if Florio had reported fake news promulgated by a Twitter Bot. Can't do that. And it will cost Florio, to the extent TA's agents (Klutch Sports Group, who represents ~200 professional athletes including LeBron and Jalen Hurts) have now likely put him squarely in the dog house. But as it stands, I can't really blame Florio too much for re-reporting what on its face appeared to be legitimate news.

Of the front office personnel, this is least consequential for the football side of things. His main responsibilities are communication with the NFL (particularly around international games and when the officials screw us over) and business-related matters (i.e., securing the NFL Draft here, sponsorships, stadium related matters, long-term vision, etc.). Spielman might make sense, I don't know what he does right now. Disner might make sense. Allison Maki is their long-time CFO, she might make sense. Or they may go external and find a lawyer or businessman who is close to the family, similar to how Wood was hired in the first place.

Sooo..... what's the connection?! How'd this even get tied to TA? There was a reason I put "unverified," I'm glad I did.

Unverified reports are that a member of Arnold's security team and Arnold's cousin were both arrested for luring three men into an apartment and holding them at gunpoint while beating them senseless, in an attempt to recover $100k, guns, a cell phone, and high-end bags that belonged to TA.

Wasn't having the issue until the last hour or so, but now inaccessible on my iPhone. Refreshing the page just loads the same or a new ad with the same problem where you can't scroll to the 'minimize' button.

My one and only conspiracy theory in life (if you can call it that, maybe it’s just a soap box) is that I don’t think those GLP-1s are well tested enough as to the long-term side effects for long-term use for obesity. I’m worried what will happen in the next 10-15 years. They went from a little known treatment for Type 2 diabetes to a lose-weight-fast magic injection seemingly overnight. Prescriptions for them rose 300% for them from 2018 to 2023 and they’re even faster spreading now. A recent article said that 1 in 8 adults are taking GLP1s. That’s insane to me. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t doubt they help people, I know they do. I know of people who are finally able to start losing weight thanks to them, and that’s a great thing. But I adamantly believe there is no magical cure to obesity that doesn’t involve lifestyle change. Ultimately, long-term weight loss requires increased activity combined with a better diet. Today, I could download an app and order a GLP1 prescription with the relative ease of ordering a pizza. Not even see a doctor face to face. That alarming ease (when compared to getting an effective dietician or nutritionist or personal trainer) feels like a recipe for disaster. And I really worry that in 10-20 years, we’ll be seeing class action commercials on our $200 NetHulu Max Prime subscriptions saying “did you or a loved one take GLP1s and develop long-term effects? You may be entitled to compensation.”
