Those are nice!

So, who thought the NFC North and its three very good 11+ win teams would go a combined 0-3 in the postseason?

I know people think I hate trump or whatever but this trump meme coin is easily the biggest scam ever in the history of meme coins. 80% at launch is said to be allocated to trump llc and fight fight fight. They could clear 15 billion dollars when they pull the rug from what I read. All on the same day he announced he’s not refunding the thousands of tickets for people who paid top dollar to attend the inauguration. He said your ticket is “commemorative”. He is a genius at grifting his own fans

Gotta give him credit. Saw the blow job chick make that $$$ scamming people with a meme coin and thought, "If she can pull in that much, imagine what I could get! Way better than that damn bible!!!!"

Ah well, at least if it is a scam, the vast majority of the people who will lose bigly are firmly entrenched in the "no big loss" part of society.

I had Jungle Strike. Still need to add Urban Strike. They are fun games I remember playing as a kid, but I think they were on SNES.

Yeah, think Desert was on both and those two were just on the SNES. Then, I believe there were 1-2 more that were on the first PlayStation. Never played them, but seem to recall reading about them somewhere.

David Lynch - 78

FUCK! One of my favorite creators of Simply Weird As Fuck cinema. Remember loving Twin Peaks when I was in high school. Then saw Blue Velvet in college. Bought Eraserhead a few years ago and loved it. And have a few more of his films (Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive, Inland Empire) on my Giant List of Stuff to Watch. He was a master of the surreal.

National Treasure indeed 

So few people were loved by a greater % of people

RIP

And he was just one of those guys who seemed immortal -- he'd been around forever doing his thing and it just felt like that was how it was going to stay.

You're right of course.

I suppose people need to demand for  Trump to also hire a gender queer person 😂

Also, looks like my phones autocorrect really flubbed up some words/phrase 😐

Lol, yeah, I was thinking that I didn't know anyone who voted for Kamala because her race was "trans" either! Figured that had to be auto-correct.

I'm listening to Chris Cuomo talk about Trump and right now he is not himg because Trump doesn't have any black people in his top positions. He's saying that Kash Patel is the only one who counts for diversity. I guess he thinks Tulsi is white, I don't know. Tone and shade! 

None of the people I know that voted for Kamala did so because she was trans racial. Not a one. 

These high profile people are continuously coming up a day late and a dollar short.

Hey, way I see it is that Kash and Tulsi fulfilled the Trump administration's DEI quota! Gotta expect the Rs to not take that stuff as far as the Ds would.

I love how people think politicians are actually beholden to their donors.  I mean this literally - there is zero leverage for Trump to do anything a donor wants.  

Didn't Elon buy his way into a having a seat at the table that came equipped with a position in Trump's government?*

*Until Trump gets pissed off at the "President Musk" cracks and dumps him like he dumps every person in his government the instant they annoy him.

To be fair, Republicans pull this showboating also. Maybe not to the farthest degree that Dems do, but they still do it. 

I think the Pubs save a lot of their showboating for whatever their little "attack dog" committee is that focuses on Hillary and Hunter all the time with Jordan and Comer. Where those two dipshits never seem to be able to get anything to stick in any tangible "HEADS WILL ROLL!" way, but do come up with enough soundbites to fire up the base and give the "LOCK THEM UP!" crowd their allotment of wet dreams. 

After all this time, a person's gotta figure they know their job is to keep those people and their issues on the front burner, so they can be thrown around whenever needed for P.R. points. Either that or they're just really stupid and bad at their jobs, which is a real possibility with those two. So, probably a combination!

Be cool if Deion went to coach the Cowboys….I doubt it would be talked about much lol

That could be a match made in hell that I would be totally here for! An owner/GM with his fingers over everything who looks at himself as THE mouthpiece for the franchise teaming up with a very media-savvy coach who thrives at being the center of attention and won't be cool with someone deciding they're the mouthpiece for him. First time Jerry blurts out something Deion's not cool with, I'll be there for the fireworks!

McCarthy out in Dallas. 

Now it's time to see who is stupid/crazy enough to want to work for Senile Jerry! Odds are it will be some retread who will excite no one.

Just seems like stagnation to me. Playoffs are nice, but at a point, players and fans want more. Maybe a new message needs brought in? 

I agree that next year likely won't be a lot better. Still in the same position as the Browns. Need a QB and some playmakers at WR. 

At least the Browns won't have to look at Watson ever again. I hope they look into this second achilles tear and see it was "non football related" so they can void his contract, cut him, and recoup a bunch of cap space.

Stagnation of all types is what I think is the problem. Tomlin's been there for a long time and I don't think anyone is responding to anything any more. Things go wrong in the season and nothing happens to correct things. He just spews out the same "process is the process" sort of slogans and guys say stuff about how they want to win and then the play the exact same way with the exact same people doing the exact same things in the next game.

Even at 10-3, it reminded me more of a few years ago when they started out with a great record, lost down the stretch and got drummed out of the playoffs by Cleveland. They were a team that won a lot of close games while relying on great defense and an offense just doing enough to finish with more points on their side of the scoreboard. When that strategy stops working because of, I don't know, fatigue from having to carry the team, guys getting banged up, teams finding holes in their schemes...they have no answers. It's just "do the same thing; maybe it will go back to working" and then it doesn't, so they try it again, fail again, try again, fail again and eventually the season is over.

They're just stagnant right now. Good enough to be good, not good enough to make an actual run. In NFL Purgatory, where they're always in contention to be in the playoffs, but you know what's going to happen the instant they show up for their first round game. That's not good enough.

I think Beck is smart actually. Idk where he’d go in the draft but compare him to Stetson Bennett who went 4-5th round and makes a bit over 1 million annually. Beck has to be making more than that to go to Miami. 

I’m seeing $4 million rumored to go to Miami. 

Also: He apparently is banging one of the Cavender twins, who is playing women's basketball there, so pretty much everything pointed towards it being a better decision to be there instead of being some random third-string/practice squad QB in the pros until no one signs him after the latest release.

What room is that, a crawl space where you’re crouched the whole time?

Possible. Definitely a place a claustrophobic would HATE.

Saw a graphic that Beck with a ceiling of Daniel Jones and floor of Will Levis in the NFL. If that's the case, stay in college as long as humanly possible because it's all going downhill the minute you're in the pros.

Setting goals and stuff is totally for melvins, man.

Mine is to randomly throw in a lot more old-timey slang that no one else understands!

Righteous!
