Even though I dislike both, I'm tired of Maher at this point, I did enjoy him being interviewed by Ben Shapiro here.

I'd love to see Biden start withdrawing troops from Saudi Arabia and put them on full blast for their human rights abuses to their own people and those they have committed in places like Yemen.

This sucks!!! I still think Barnes has a chance, but it seems less and less likely. From what I've been reading of the race it sounds like the Senate GOP campaign arm and outside interest groups are really beating up Barnes on crime and defund the police. It saddens me to see that enough people in Wisconsin still can't see Ron Johnson for the do-nothing huckster that he is.

Is there a way he can declare bankruptcy and weasel out of this? Flee the country and broadcast from somewhere else maybe?

Some singers and songwriters have IT. A certain feature or thing about them that you just listen to them once and they pull you right in and keep you hooked. Tyler Childers has IT as far as not only country music singers go, but truly iconic American songwriters. I listen to a lot of great country/Americana/folk singer-songwriter folks from EmmyLou Harris, Rodney Crowell, Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson, Zach Bryan, Margo Price, etc. While I wouldn't put Tyler of Jason or EmmyLou, I'd vault him up pretty darn high on the list.

@oblong did you happen to hear about, see or at all follow the Dearborn Public School Board meeting devolved into complete chaos all because a bunch of "concerned" (homophobic) parents showed up at the meeting and basically started a mob?

Have Kyler Murray or Baker Mayfield been injured a lot? I think Murray is who Young compares to the most more than Mayfield in terms of talent. But in terms of size and stature, I don't recall Murray or Mayfield being significantly more injury prone than their peers and missing substantial time as a result.

Another ad, just as hard hitting.

Senate Dems really taking it to Dr. Oz for being a dog killer.

I know he'll probably lose, but Tim Ryan absolutely took it to JD Vance last night in their Senate debate. He pulled no punches last night and called Vance both a fraud and Trump's bitch!

Screw that homophobic sack of crap. I guess she's back to being a bigoted piece of shit so she can grift money off of whatever her ideology is now. She fucking sits there and complains about America as an oppressive nation while towing Putin's dick around by hand and hosting a show where the host has a open relationship with Viktor Orban, the authoritarian Dictator in Hungary.

In a state which had a mass shooting, at the Tree of Life Synagogue in the metro Pittsburgh area, it is really repulsive to think that an anti-Semite like Doug Mastriano is the nominee. It is repulsive to think about in any state, but given the recent rightwing, anti-Jewish violence in the state, it is extra startling and maddening that they would in Pennsylvania.

They got blanked by a team starting a third string QB and got bombed by Geno Smith the week before. Excuse fans for having some reservation at this point. As to breaking the Cardinals, great, they did that for their third wins of the season. But again, as I said above, I don't think we will be a 1-2-3 win team just yet. It's just that right now we are trending in dangerous territory with how bad this team is playing.

News to me that Warren is undermining Biden.

If this season gets to Hue Jackson level's of bad, where we only win 1-2-3 games, he is definitely on the hot seat to start year 3 off. That said, I don't think we're going to be that bad in the end and do feel we can turn it around to the point of winning 5-6-7 games still. Where those wins come from at this point I don't know because after Sunday, no game looks winnable. I just think there is too much talent on this team for it to go so off the rails that we are a 1-2-3 win team and Campbell ends up in Hue Jackson territory.

Love this new ad by the Lincoln Project . . .

No one ever said Putin was a tactically smart man. When you combine that with the fact that he is either surrounded by yes man sycophants or people scared shitless of speaking out against him, you get a bad combination and ill-advised strategy as a result. Hitler in North Africa and choosing to invade the Soviet Union is one of the most prominent examples of this toxic combo, as is Leonid Brezhnev's decision to invade and get bogged down in Afghanistan. You'd think Putin being a student of the Soviet Union's disastrous affairs in Afghanistan or the US's own issues might have taught Putin a thing or two about resistance forces and how strong they can fight.

DNA tests reveal . . .

I wonder what this guys former black players at Auburn would think if he made a comment like that to players in the locker room.

I noticed lots of that too. The irony is of course that Columbus never even set foot in the territorial United States or North America. He certainly didn't discover it either, the Vikings were the first Europeans to sail the Atlantic and come here.

I'm going to guess this is normal and other NFL teams do it as well. Still seem strange given the timing of when it happened.

Xi seems like a smart man. Even if he is wildly arrogant, craven, power hungry as a person, he is still smart and strategic. I have to think he now looks at Russia's War in Ukraine as a stupid, strategic move, motivated solely by one man's own arrogance and ego. Xi might be arrogant and egomaniacal himself, but he doesn't generally let that get in the way of good strategy and tactic it seems. Xi realizes that Putin's war is disrupting all sorts of things in the broader economy and is also being seen as a public relations embarrassment given that one of the guys on his side, Putin, is losing badly. I know China gets significant natural resources from Russia, namely oil, natural gas, and minerals, so he'll never fully pull the plug on Russia. But is there a reality where he pulls the plug on Putin, while still supporting Russia? Would he be angry, bold and brazen enough to make a move to support the ousting of Putin?

I think what Zac Taylor did in Cincinnati is what Campbell, the organization, and fans can hold out hope for. Zac Taylor was a dumpster fire his first two seasons, partly because his QB in Burrow went down. Taylor was 4-25 in his first two seasons and then went to a Super Bowl. I'm not ready to give up on Campbell yet partially because constantly firing coaches over and over is not healthy for an organization and partly because I'm just exhausted as a fan, having to sit through a rebuild of the rebuild. I'm still on Campbell's side, even if I share individual frustrations with the guy and his decisions. To play devil's advocate for a second though, it's one thing to have a rough first year start when your players know you are a rebuilding team. It's another thing to be two years deep and have 4-5-6 wins total through three seasons. I'm not an expert and I have almost zero idea into the mindset of an NFL player. But how long are players willing to hold out and fight for a guy when he continues to put them in bad situation on the field and lose games? Even if they like the guy, how long will they accept losing at this clip?

I went back and looked at Campbell's last presser and saw that "needle isn't moving comment." I interpret that to mean he's not healing and isn't close to returning. I hope you aren't right about spending the season on IR, but fear you are correct.

I know we'll be using this bye week to heal up and get healthy. On that note. has anyone seen a recent update or report about Josh Paschal or Levi Onwuzurike? I had saw on Twitter that Paschal was practicing but not ready to play yet. I think the last thing I read about Levi was from MLive back in September where they quoted Campbell as saying it is a slow process to getting him back healthy. Other than the MLive report, nothing. Two second round picks and so far both have proved useless and haven't contributed a thing. Will we see either on the field this year? Is there a chance we can see Paschal the week after the bye?
