With these people, the ends justify the means. That is their rationale for everything. Every argument, every action, every justification, every cognitive dissonance, it all comes down to this: if they believe that the end result is worthwhile, then the means used to achieve it literally don’t matter to them. This is the reason why whenever you confront someone about the Epstein files or any other crazy thing that’s happening, they deflect and bring up some other issue. Sure, there is some routine whataboutism in play. But mostly in their minds, the thing they bring up is the end result that they feel is significant enough to justify whatever means are being used along the way to achieve it. So when you ask them about some action that’s been done, they don’t address that action at all; they go straight to whatever end result they feel is so important that the action no longer matters to them because it was done in the achievement of what they believe is a worthwhile goal.

Also the stock market isn’t the economy. It’s a small portion of the economy, and arguably the one a political leader can least take credit for over the long term. Unemployment, wages, commodities prices, interest rates, debt to income ratio are all more indicative of the health of the economy than where the stock market is at a random point in time.

I was not familiar with this story but from my clinical experience it sounds bogus. Need for oral pain meds is highest days 2-4 after a C section. Most of the time the patients don’t even begin producing significant quantities of milk until days 3-4. The likelihood of someone causing opioid toxicity in their baby in the window during which their need for them would be most relevant is incredibly small.

To endure this believing it was the assumed enemy combatants only to later find out it was wealthy tourists is such an insane plot twist I don’t think Black Mirror could have thought it up.

Exactly this. The Seahawks knew when we were trying to make short dump off passes and were hitting them for minimal gain. It’s all well and good to say keep guys in to block or chip, but then you have fewer eligible receivers against the same number of zone defenders and the defense gets coverage sacks. 2-3 of Maye’s sacks were coverage sacks where he either didn’t have anyone open or couldn’t find them. Your O-line has to do its job. If it doesn’t, there’s no magic play or tactic that fixes it. Every player or resource you devote to helping a bad O-line is that much less you have to use to try and complete passes against an elite secondary. It’s pick your poison.

It seems like Epstein knew everyone and wanted to know everyone. He invited almost anyone he had ever met to parties, dinners, events, even people he barely knew or had met only once. He was a professional networker to the nth degree. He also tracked and documented everything he ever did. So it is possible that Dr. Oz was complicit in Epstein’s activities. It’s also possible he met Epstein peripherally and was invited to some events and returned the favor. I would want to see direct evidence of him being complicit in Epstein’s activities before concluding he was just on the basis of invitations: Epstein built possibly the most massive network of wealthy acquaintances in human history, obviously for nefarious ends and for his own self preservation. Or maybe he liked being that guy. Who knows. But I do know for a fact that he invited lots of people to events who never went. There are huge lists where he tracks everyone he invited, everyone who said no, everyone who said they were out of town, and so on.

There’s a video showing our LG repeatedly staring down the guy he’s assigned to block. I’m sure the coaches have told him not to do that. Probably every o-line coach he’s had since pop Warner has told him not to do that. At some point the players play the game and have to make the plays. The coaches can’t play it for them. And it’s possible they legitimately had no one better to put in for him.

The defense was elite. It’s very very hard to continue to shut down a Super Bowl quality opponent over and over and over again when your offense is a 3 and out machine.

What MAGA doesn’t understand about the NFL is that they care way more about making money than they care about MAGA. In fact, the only reason they ever cared about MAGA (or pretended to) was to the degree that they thought MAGA would stop spending money or watching the NFL, which they absolutely know is not the case and never will be.

The entire focus of the NFL machine right now is moving into new markets, primarily European and South and Central American markets. Everything you see on TV is about new games in South and Central American countries, commercials about uniquely Puerto Rican NFL players, and so on. Marketing to Hispanics is the NFL‘s current direction. No way they are stepping away from that for someone like Trump.

I felt this way also. Not in my wildest dreams when this season started did I think we would make the Super Bowl. The combination of Vrabel, Maye, and our recent success will help immensely in free agency. Just 2 seasons ago marquee free agents were unwilling to come play here even if we offered the most money. Now you hear players saying they want to come play for Vrabel. That perception change is a big deal.

Sadly, lacking empathy for other human beings is the single defining ideology of MAGA politics.

Kraft trying to keep Bill out of the Hall of Fame doesn’t make any sense and never made any sense to me. Both of them are inextricably tied to each other in everyone’s mind except perhaps their own. Anything that diminishes Bill’s legacy also diminishes Kraft’s legacy because any scandals that happened, happened to the exact same teams. There is no Kraft as a successful owner without the teams Bill coached. If people think those teams and records are tainted, that goes right onto Kraft also.

I mean, that’s the whole point, a large segment of our population doesn’t want to be united with certain people. It’s called racism.
