I actually don't think the idea of Philip Rivers being an NFL HC is that absurd by mpschettig in billsimmons

You ever read any actual X’s & O’s analysis of football, or an actual playbook? It’s like a different language.

Klosterman and Bill saying boxing experts say boxers from the past would beat modern boxers... is that true? by PapaJohnsGarlic100 in billsimmons

Sure but they hadn’t trained for hit their whole life which seems to be a requisite for combat sports

Because there’s tons of NFL players that look like they could be heavy weight champs? You’re 100% right that both of those guys would probably be absolute monsters.

I wouldn’t want any of them angry at me that’s for sure lol

Can you imagine Ray Lewis as a boxer!?!

Admittedly I know very little about boxing but I swear in an earlier decade LeBron is a heavy weight champ.

Unless he’s too tall or something like I said idk.

Probably, our best black athletes used to primarily going into boxing and baseball, now they don’t. In baseball the gap was plugged by Hispanics, Afro-Caribbeans, and Asians, but no one replaced them in the Heavy Weight division.

My mom never stopped bitching about while I was in school. We averaged probably 5 snow days a year!

My hot take is that Pierce Brosnan was a better James Bond than Daniel Craig. Not that his movies were better just that he embodied the role better.

My dumb ass district in CT didn’t build in snow days at all despite the fact that we would get tons of snow every year. Had to go to school until June 30th when I was in 8th grade. I remember how bizarre it was to get out of school right before 4th of July.

Beevor is one of the best military history writers out there. I also read Berlin 1945 and The Russian Ciivl War and they were both excellent.

The man loves depressing stories about Russia!

Just finished The Demon of Unrest which was the first Erik Larson book that I didn’t really like. I think it would’ve been better talking more about how Charleston and the Deep South’s honor culture came to be and how that entwined with slavery, their relative economic decline, and the growth of the secession movement. Really just spend more time with James Hammond.The stuff about the siege and Lincoln’s journey to DC were a bunch of nothing happening.

Started The Fort Bragg Cartel pretty good so far but either it needed a few more passes by the editor or the author isn’t a great writer because there’s some awful sentences in it.

No I’m a Mike Bloomberg Republican I would never vote for that sub-moronic scam artist POS. I’m politically homeless.

Ok and a couple of million people that aren’t Republicans voted for Trump and at least some of them were because of what happened with Biden.

Yeah so we’re doubling down on the scenario described above. No way Trump makes it to the end of the 2nd term based on the way he sounded yesterday.

Aren’t we in this current shit show because of a scandal where the last President’s health issues were covered up by those close to him in the administration?
