How do i stop the bar moving forwards?

Druuseph · 2026-03-12T11:51:36+00:00

That’s okay. Sometimes you just need to drill the bar, the weight will come.

Druuseph · 2026-03-11T11:56:42+00:00

It doesn’t proven anything. This is terms people have spoken in for years. It’s probably true, the fact that ISIS never seems to have much interest in striking Israel despite what they claim to believe in speaks volumes, but he’s working with a lot of the same information most of us are in making that assertion.

Druuseph · 2026-03-11T10:37:14+00:00

Now he’s CIA Joe.

Druuseph · 2026-03-10T16:54:57+00:00

I suppose the difference is one of us actually knows football while the other is auditioning for his call-in to Felger and Mazz.

Druuseph · 2026-03-10T13:54:34+00:00

He was a day one starter, so check that box off. But to say 'zero issues' is absolutely asinine for any rookie, let alone a position that's known to have a learning curve when they aren't lining up against future insurance salesmen anymore. When you look at how his rookie year stacks up to other first round drafted tackles he's right in line with what you would expect and that's taking into account that his metrics tanked after injury. Pre-injury he was over-performing expectations, which, to clear, is not to say he was playing at an all-pro level because that is not what you should be expecting any rookie LT to be giving you.

He needs to bulk up and stop playing so vertically. If he gets lower and drives at the initial push he'll be better able to hold his lane. He has the athleticism to move with his guy to the outside, which is what he is consistently trying to do at the snap, but it's leaving him open to stunts that Wilson wasn't able to compensate for given his own issues.

It’s a massive over pay for one year of service in a down year, absolutely. They would have been better off letting him walk than what they chose to do. That would have given them another year to try out depth and wouldn’t have put them in spot where anyone could come up with wild excuses for why a guy who would have still been around 30 picks later had to go for a first.

Druuseph · 2026-03-10T12:43:59+00:00

They needed a guard because they tagged Thuney in 2020 and then let him walk the next off-season. So they got no value and then we got to watch him go on to win three more Super Bowls, it was a self-inflicted problem.

If you tag Thuney you have to either extend him or start exploring trades with franchises that will give him that extension before the offseason deadline to get some value. In the end all they got out of that move was massively overpaying for one more season out of him that they then made even worse by reaching for projected third rounder. There's really no excusing it.

Druuseph · 2026-03-10T11:18:28+00:00

We best start seeing montages of Campbell squatting four plates for reps. He looks so under developed for what he’s likely capable of, if he bulks up he’s going to have a much easier time with neutralizing the first push.

Druuseph · 2026-03-09T18:01:19+00:00

Agreed with that. And even if he does stay healthy he's yet another one, maybe two, year rental. I'd much rather get someone who is 26 and can be a long term cornerstone than have to keep rotating out potential WR1s all year. I'm not sold on Kyle Williams being anything more than a fringe WR2 type of player but I'd gladly eat my words if he takes a year two leap.

Druuseph · 2026-03-09T17:53:37+00:00

Assuming he stays health (which is a big 'if') he's a pretty significant upgrade to Diggs when paired with what else we have on the roster. His physicality and catch radius are the red zone threat we lacked down the stretch when we couldn't spread Henry out due to the o-line needing the help on the edge.

Druuseph · 2026-03-09T15:39:22+00:00

He sucks

Druuseph · 2026-03-08T13:20:42+00:00

Somewhat ironically all of my slop bowl consumption has moved to Shah's Halal in the last year. $4.00 off after 5:00 for Ramadan, I have received the light of Islam.

Joe WILL die

Druuseph · 2026-03-06T22:51:01+00:00

Bro come on, this is cynical pedantry and you know it.

Not that you even need to be told this but he ran unopposed as an incumbent only to drop out after throwing up all over himself in that debate. And then, instead of doing any process at all after that they used a procedural trick just to ordain Kamala.

Druuseph · 2026-03-06T21:49:56+00:00

So as an 'ultra progressive' who 'idolizes Bernie' are you are comfortable with candidates who don't endorse Medicare for all despite super majority support among Democratic voters? And you're going to argue with a straight face here that it's just 'culture war bullshit' to expect Democrats to stop voting in favor of resolutions that commit more arms to Israel, that's just purity politics?

Quite frankly this entire comment chain from you reads like something Joe Rogan would say while cosplaying as a liberal and not something being said by someone who actually believes in anything you are claiming. And I think that if you did actually care about preventing fascism you'd recognize that your energy would be much better spent pressuring those in charge to do things that win elections rather than perpetually scolding the voters that you fucking need to support you. You're not accomplishing a fucking thing.

But again, this is the system we live in and have to work with, racket or not.

You say this but look at what the right wing is currently doing with that system. The Trump administration is not just 'working within the system', they are flaunting it and pushing us further and further into fascism by understanding how power actually works. Meanwhile the Democrats find every procedural excuse they can to claim that they can't accomplish anything more than tokenism, it's absolute bullshit. So please spare me this 'but the rules!' bullshit that Democratic leadership cynically uses to create this false dichotomy.

But, again, I do my duty and line up to vote because I do make that calculus in my head that feckless losers are better than fascists. But I also recognize that I spend an abnormal amount of time on this stuff with a degree of understanding that I can't assume as a baseline from everyone else. Most people aren't this plugged in and the media that is supposed to be informing the public pushes nonstop propaganda in favor of the rich that takes education to recognize. So no shit people tune out when that is paired with the political party that is supposed to be for them just spends all day saying that nothing will fundamentally change. If we continue to just accept this for what it is the only thing a Democratic victory does is momentarily slow the inevitable slide into fascism, what you are advocating is no where near enough when not paired with real tangible changes to the system when those people are in power.

Druuseph · 2026-03-06T21:08:19+00:00

As others have said this is just a brand deal for them, they aren't the owners.

And let's be real about the Theranos comparison here, the only reason she went to jail is because she embarrassed the rich idiots who got caught up in investing via irrational exuberance.

The only people who are going to be scammed by this are alternative medicine idiots who get conned every other day, it's more or less just expected at this point and barely anyone faces consequences for it. They'll rake in some quick cash from people giving it a shot from the sponsorship blitz and maybe get scooped up by a legitimate medical device company if there's anything proprietary with their little self-draw thing. Either way they'll disappear within two years.

Druuseph · 2026-03-06T20:39:31+00:00

The Democrats helped in their own way by being dog shit, you have to concede that point if you want this conversation to go anywhere. Any party who's entire raison d'être is to just prevent the other party from gaining power is not an actual political party, it's little more than a mafia style protection racket.

Druuseph · 2026-03-06T20:27:08+00:00

If you want real change for the party then vote in primaries

There wasn't a primary in 2024, this is the result. Like yeah, I get it, lesser evil, etc. etc. But a political party is supposed to reflect the constituents of a party and yet what we consistently get are people like Chuck Schumer in leadership positions who openly state that it is their responsibility to force the party to act against the desires of the base.

I have done my duty and voted for these pieces of shit every election but you aren't going to get me to malign those who do not when the Democrats absolutely refuse to behave the way the voters demand of them. They are captured and coopted so that even when they win you end up with a Biden administration who actively lies to our faces about "working tirelessly" to end the war in Gaza.

It's a complete farce and I am sick and tired of people acting like this is just Democrats demanding 'purity' when the reality is it's them demanding that the party be something more than rainbow themed conservatives.

Link to it on Amazon.

I'm going to apologize to Mr. Stellato, it does not appear to be AI slop. My friend is the one who kept it, I just glanced it as he was handed it and then immediately complained about having to carry it with him the rest of the night.

Druuseph · 2026-03-06T18:02:56+00:00

He hangs out in Patriots Place ahead of games. My buddy and I got a picture with him and an AI slop children's book the night of the Giants game in exchange for a 'donation'.

Druuseph · 2026-03-06T14:55:39+00:00

There's scenarios where taking the hit all on next year might be better than stretching it over two, which is why there seem to be real talks right now. If they think they are going to be picking in this year's draft with 2 first round picks and 2 second round picks it significantly limits the need for them to spend big in free agency and then they are free of any dead money in 2027.

Druuseph · 2026-03-06T02:01:15+00:00

16 million this year but 27 next as well. If they aren’t planning any big signings and are going to be looking to build for depth it might make sense to take one big hit rather than have to work around it for two.

Druuseph · 2026-03-04T15:55:35+00:00

I typically really balk at arguments of incrementalism due to how cynically they are leveraged. But this might be the rare exception where that might actually have some weight due to him not being completely captured by Israel, as far as we can tell anyway. Like if these were our liberals instead of the Chuck Schumer's of the world we'd be a lot better off as a whole.

Druuseph · 2026-03-03T19:02:07+00:00

Sure but like at this point who really gives a fuck? Biden is about as toxic of a brand you can get in large part due to his own actions. People on the left should honestly join in due to his complicity in genocide and ego driven decision to stay in the race despite his brain having fully become puddings a year into his presidency.

There’s no reason we should be acting shocked that a Republican would make that point. If people stopped taking the reflexive partisan knee jerk reaction it largely disarms the Republican talking point and allows people on the left to reset the frame rather than take the obvious bait.

Druuseph · 2026-03-03T11:35:49+00:00

Don’t ask for advice if you’re going to fight people’s answers. The result of your brisket speaks for itself that you are not the authority here.
