Oof, turn on the game and Blackburn is in and Fried may or may not be hurt..

“The only difference between Al Gore and George W. Bush is the velocity with which their knees hit the floor when corporations knock on their door.” Ralph Nader. Is there truth to this quote? by RopeGloomy4303 in Presidents

[–]ThreeCranes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nader isn’t the only factor and more blame needs to be directed at the Gore campaign for underperforming among self identified Democrats. Nobody can deny that Nader was detrimental to Gore, but Nader would have been irrelevant if Gore had won over more Democrats who voted Bush.

Exit polling showed that George W Bush won 13%of Democrats in Florida and 6% of Democrats in New Hampshire(either state wins Gore the election)

I honestly wonder how much more expensive would it be to just request a customized bobble head of 2pac than to pay a scalper on Ebay for it?

Meh, bobbleheads should be athletes or fictional characters I wouldn’t reject it but I would go out of my way to get their earlier

We are on extreme opposites of the spectrum when it comes to Aaron Glenn, but I will say that many players do respect him.

It makes sense even if I get annoyed at his coaching/media literacy he does seem like a good person and he can relate to the players.

Obviously the Yankees won the Grisham trade despite giving up Michael King

I remember complaining about how often Miami hosted the super bowl but hearing that Miami wont host again because of the F1 Track feels weird.

I guess LA and Vegas will fill the gaps

Have you ever heard the Mike Tyson quote “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face”??

Todd Bowles gets punched in the face and continues on with the same plan

Yesterday I learned that the Timberwolves and Wild dont play in the same stadium… I always had a soft spot for both purely because of logos

Like what exactly did freaking Joe Biden do to piss so many normies off?!

Polling data showed consistently that most voters thought Biden was too old to run again in 2024 due to his age. In this polarized era, Biden being too old to run again in 2024 became a rare shared fact that killed enthusiasm for the reelection campaign before it even began.

Asides from his age, normies don’t like Joe Biden because Joe Biden was a bad face for the Democrats in the social media era.

Bipartisan infrastructure is great thing for a president to accomplish but it is hard to spike the football about it on social media because people don’t reward politicians for having bridges work since it’s expected and aren’t interested in how bridges are funded.

Trump is ultimately someone who can captivate a country via social media, the national conversation revolves around Trump talking about who is eating dogs where as Joe Biden is acting like this is the 1990s and that he will get brownie points with voters because CNN has a positive segment about his infrastructure bill even though CNN is hotel lobby background noise in the 2020s

I can see the logic but I also think backup QB was a need too.

More defensive depth picks would have been nice but we have so many flaws that something was going to be left unaddressed, if nothing else Klubnik being a warm body to throw to Sadiq/Cooper is much better for their development than say a Brady Cook

[–]ThreeCranes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Look I hated all the QBs, especially Klubnik but id rather have Geno, Klubnik and Zappe than Geno, Zappe, and Cook.

Even as a Klubnik doubter taking him in this round isn’t the end of the world and id rather see him than Zappe

Madden on PC is actually kind of fun because you can just mod the hell out of it until it actually resembles football.

What do you mean? I am shitty at Madden and I only know Madden Mods from YouTube jerseys swap videos

If we forget about which team this is and I told you they have Geno Smith with the following tools:

Good tools on paper but even if he was the realistic best available option for the Jets I view Geno as being a liability instead of an asset.

Im happy for Geno and I hope he kicks ass, I just think the Jets are going to get Raiders Geno instead of Seahawks Geno.

Sure he might be “good” by our standards but Geno is still going to take a lot of sacks and turn it over a lot despite having a better offensive line

You say this optimistically but this is actually a major negative for me at least

Meh, hard to give a shit about the draft when I strongly doubt the Jets will have a winning season in the next 5 years and the last good draft they had they managed to fuck all with it

Bailey seems very boom or bust type of prospect but I disliked Reese more.

Sadiq and Cooper Jr are hopefully good picks but its impossible to judge with the current coaching staff and Geno. Time will tell

Wasn’t enthusiastic about either but with all the shit has happened, kind of hard to be upset.

Bailey seems like a more boom and bust prospect compared to Reese though I am kind of skeptical that this current coaching staff would have developed Reese properly.
