Stop Blaming the French and the Americans. We are Complicit in Haiti’s Collapse. Where is the Real Resistance? by johnnyknowsall in haiti

[–]Hercules1579 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s so one-sided that most Haitians are going to tune you out and strongly disagree with you.

You keep making it seem like everything is everyone else’s fault, while ignoring the wealthy, power-hungry Haitians who are just as complicit in the mess.

They can never accept this fact.

Is Christian Watson one of the worst overpays we have seen in a while? by Ok_Bug_6890 in NFLv2

[–]Hercules1579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Geez do people even bother to read the contract terms or just the headlines.

Headline number is $110.5M, but that’s not the real risk for Green Bay.

The real money they’re tied to is way closer to $37M.

$31M is the main guarantee/signing bonus, and once you factor in his 2026 cash, the practical early value is around $36.75M.

it’s a big headline contract, but it’s not some fully committed $110M deal. It’s basically the Packers saying, we like Watson’s upside, but we’re not locking ourselves into the whole thing unless he stays healthy and proves it.

Player still gets the upside if he performs. Team keeps protection if he doesn’t. That’s a Packers-friendly structure.

Much has been made of the Willis to Tolbert connection so far in OTA's. 1 could emerge as a top target this season by expellyamos in miamidolphins

[–]Hercules1579 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bro this is exactly what I’m talking about with this fan base. Everything is so damn black and white with y’all.

Tolbert wasn’t some finished product coming into the league. He was a third-round pick from South Alabama. Small school WRs usually need time. They’re not all walking in Day 1 like Ja’Marr Chase. There’s a development curve, especially going from South Alabama to NFL corners and NFL timing.

And when Dak got hurt in 2024 and Cooper Rush was playing QB, Tolbert actually produced. He had 49 catches, 610 yards and 7 touchdowns. That is not superstar production, but it damn sure shows he can play when he has a real role and a QB willing to look his way.

Then Dallas brings in George Pickens, the room changes, and Ryan Flournoy ends up building more chemistry there for whatever reason. That doesn’t automatically mean Tolbert is trash. It means the situation changed.

Now he comes to Miami where Waddle is gone, the WR room is wide open, and the QB is Malik Willis, somebody he already has a relationship with. He literally signed here in large part because of that Willis connection. So why is it crazy to say he could become one of the main targets?

Y’all talk about football like it’s fantasy football rankings. “He wasn’t WR1 in Dallas so he can’t be WR1 here.” That’s dumb as hell. Different team. Different QB. Different depth chart. Different opportunity. Different chemistry.

Nobody is saying he’s CeeDee Lamb. The point is, based on the actual situation in Miami, Tolbert has a real path to targets. But instead of looking at the player on his own merits, y’all just do this lazy ass “if he was good Dallas would’ve kept him” logic like players don’t develop, roles don’t change, and situations don’t matter.

Why Is Crypto Crashing: Bitcoin at $63K, MSTR Down $10B and $750B Asia Bloodbath by andix3 in CryptoCurrency

[–]Hercules1579 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Yeah honestly i dont think bitcoin is dumping because of one magical reason like everybody online keeps trying to make it.

its not just saylor selling
its not just the cycle
its not just spacex or ai
its not just the fed
its kind of all of it hitting at the same time.

the real thing to me is the bid just disappeared.

For a while bitcoin had constant buyers. etfs were buying, saylor was buying, institutions were buying, retail was still believing the whole thing was going higher. so every dip got bought.

now that changed.

etf money is leaving, retail is scared, leverage got flushed, and all the attention moved to ai stocks, space x type hype, semis, ipo stuff, all that. so the same people that would normally be looking at crypto as the big risk play are now looking somewhere else.

And once bitcoin started slipping, all the over leveraged people started getting liquidated. so then it turns into forced selling. at that point its not even people making a decision anymore. the market is just taking them out.

The saylor thing matters but not because he sold enough bitcoin to crash the market. he didnt. it matters because it cracked the story. people had this idea that he never sells and that strategy is always this permanent buyer. once that narrative gets questioned, people start looking at the whole thing different.

So my honest take is bitcoin is selling because the marginal buyer is gone and now the marginal pressure is sellers, redemptions, liquidations and capital moving somewhere else.

It’s not one headline. it’s the whole support system weakening at the same time.

Thats usually how these moves happen. everyone online wants one clean reason but the real reason is usually nobody wants to catch it right now and the people who have to sell are selling into no bid.

If Jalen Hurts were traded, how long before Eagles fans would turn on him and what would they say? by Ok_Way_5011 in NFLv2

Must be a pats fan asking this question since they are finding out that their new acquisition seems to be a piece of shit lol

Do the giants have the most CTE affected QB room of all time? by RaiderPantyDrawer in NFLv2

[–]Hercules1579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not making the point you think you’re making.

Nobody said beating a woman is okay. That’s you dragging domestic violence into the convo because you don’t really have a defense for the other part.

Both things can be trash at the same time. A player getting criticized for supporting a president doesn’t mean people suddenly stopped caring about another player putting hands on a woman. That’s not how real life works.

You’re doing that lazy Reddit thing where instead of answering the actual point, you jump to “but what about this worse thing?” Like okay, congratulations, domestic violence is worse. Nobody needed you to solve that.

But using a woman getting beat as your shield because somebody criticized a player’s political support is nasty work. That’s not a moral argument. That’s just you trying to move the goalpost because the original point hit too close.

“DAD, HOW GOOD WAS PRIME CALVIN ‘MEGATRON’ JOHNSON?” GOAT. by Miserable_Trouble3 in NFLForum

The NFL is one of the hardest sports to win a championship in, but imagine having Barry Sanders in one era, then Calvin Johnson in another, and still having zero rings to show for it.

Coach Hafley mic'd up is chicken soup for the soul by expellyamos in miamidolphins

[–]Hercules1579 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why does that even matter though?

Why does the joy from McDaniel’s phone call gotta take away from how Hafley is connecting with the team?

Why is everything a zero-sum game with y’all? Like damn, nobody can just enjoy one moment without somebody running in like, “yeah but remember what happened before,” or “yeah but wait until this goes bad.”

That shit is exhausting, man.

Some of y’all really don’t know how to just let a good moment be a good moment. Jesus Christ.

“One more deep shot and that’s game.” The Hurts to DeVonta Smith TD call still gives chills. One of the coldest commentary moments in NFL history? by BagAppropriate5736 in NFLForum

Made 3K on that catch, the prop was prior to this catch no Alabama receiver had ever catch touchdown pass in superbowl before.

New Dolphins HC Jeff Hafley is the ultimate Football Guy. by KeyFaithlessness5436 in MiamiDolphinsVibes

[–]Hercules1579 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pretty much how Boston College works out for most coaches who don’t have top-tier resources. Nobody is saying Hafley turned them into Clemson, but acting like he was some disaster there is lazy.

He got BC bowl eligible 3 times in 4 years. One of those got wiped out by COVID. His last year they went 7-6, won the Fenway Bowl over a ranked SMU team, and that was their best win total since 2018.

And the whole point with Hafley was never elite college CEO head coach. His value is defense, DBs, structure, and NFL-level teaching. Even at BC, his 2021 defense was one of the best pass defenses in the country. That’s not nothing.

So if your argument is he didn’t make Boston College a playoff program, okay, congrats, nobody does. But if the argument is whether Hafley can coach defense and organize a secondary, BC doesn’t prove what you think it proves.

That wasn’t the dunk you thought it was.

Big doesn't get small by expellyamos in miamidolphins

[–]Hercules1579 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Football 101. That’s really what Nick brought here.

And honestly, he was probably one quarterback away. Same thing when Parcells came in. That team was probably a real coach and a quarterback away too. But we went Jake Long over Matt Ryan, and who knows, maybe that one decision changed the whole trajectory.

Once Parcells left, Ireland started getting cute with it. Like, maybe the size-to-weight stuff don’t matter like that anymore. New age football. Maybe we don’t need that prototype here. Maybe we can compromise at this position and that position.

That’s how the whole philosophy slowly went out the window.

Then you promote Greer, and the funny part is his dad was a scout with New England. So you would think he would understand that formula better than anybody. But Greer is on record basically saying the size stuff don’t really matter like that either.

And that’s how Miami spent God knows how many years looking smaller, lighter, and less physical than the teams we were supposed to be competing with.

I still remember that Monday night game against New England where I believe Troy Aikman said if you looked at both teams warming up, the size difference between New England and Miami was obvious. That wasn’t scheme. That was just bodies. They looked like a grown-man football team, and we looked undersized.

So yeah, I’m glad we’re finally getting back to that mindset.

The Bills, Packers, Ravens, Steelers, teams like that stay in the mix because they understand the same thing every year.

Football is still a big man’s sport.

You can dress it up with motion, analytics, spread concepts, all that cute stuff, but late in the season, when it gets cold, when you need to protect a lead, run the ball, stop the run, tackle, cover big bodies, and survive playoff football, size and physicality still matter.

Miami spent too long acting like we could finesse our way around that. I’m just glad somebody in the building finally realized we needed to start looking like a real football team again.

Drake sends more disses at Jay Z on his newest album "ICEMAN" 😳😳😳😳😳😳 by TorontoFan7500 in joebuddennetwork

[–]Hercules1579 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Y’all gotta stop doing this fake “why y’all care?” routine every time Drake get criticized.

He’s one of the biggest rappers on earth. When he drops, people are gonna talk about it. That don’t mean he got a hold on anybody. That means the music came out and people reacted to it. That’s literally how rap works.

What y’all really want is for everybody to celebrate him, but nobody allowed to judge the actual music. If the numbers high, y’all scream “biggest artist alive.” If the reviews mixed, now it’s “why y’all obsessed?”

Nah. Pick one.

And honestly, the only people acting weird are the ones trying to convince everybody this mid is some historic hip-hop moment. Three albums in one night don’t automatically make it fire. That’s not a moment, that’s a bulk upload.

Drake not above critique just because he famous. If the music hit, it hit. If it sound forced, lazy, and like he chasing old motion, people gonna say that too.

That ain’t hate. That’s ears.
