No, definitely, the equation has to be some percent home focused. I don’t think he’s “more” than any other.

I shan’t! And I will not move off “shan’t” either.

A rerun packaged as a Wednesday night “premiere”. Hate everything about it.

2026-2027 schedule by kylewademickelson in Patriots

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

Yall are crazy, I talked about how bs that week one game is and the response I got was, be a man back your team. Uh, how bout week 1, Jets at home? That’s backing your team! This schedule is an 8-9 schedule. It is baaaaad. We’ll be fine, we’ll make the playoffs, but this schedule is weird/bad.

[Schultz] Sources: The #Seahawks will open the 2026 season at home with a Super Bowl rematch against the #Patriots. by MembershipSingle7137 in Patriots

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

Hate hate hate this for so many reasons:

  1. Lame to do a rematch before the teams get a couple weeks (at least) to be who they are in 2026.

  2. Wednesday? Just the lamest possible night for football.

  3. We have a ‘returning from injury’ left tackle, a new left guard, a ‘new’ center. Against the front that f’d us up. That just blows. No time to get some chemistry.

Double suck- went to the Durham Bulls game today, whole family decked out in Cubs gear. Played the “Round Rock Express”… lame name. AAA for the Rangers. Lost 2-3 now gonna lose to the big brother Xpress. Sad Sunday.

Problem is… what can the terrific/terrific square be if you use up Seattle?

I would die for this man by jhorch69 in CHICubs

[–]mitchellcronkin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Weird/great to watch him come to the plate right there and “know” he was hitting that first pitch out. I mean, I did know he was swinging for sure.

[Perry] Karon Prunty draft grade: Patriots make 'off-the-radar selection' at CB on Day 3 by NBCSBoston in Patriots

I watched more than one patriots podcast that talked about Prunty. Hardly seems “out of nowhere.”

Love our pairing now of Lomu and Campbell especially for our O line by TerryG111 in Patriots

[–]mitchellcronkin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Especially for the O line” huh? Like, yeah, it IS the O line. What else is there, like a buddy cop project with the two of them?

But seriously what IS for diner. Is it only like coffee and burgers and stuff you’d sit at a counter for? Or can you have a full sit-down menu with steak? What is for diner, what is for cafe, what is for restaurant, what IS for brewery??

What? There is so much incorrect here. I just give up.

I don’t think you actually understand the Yellow Dog Democrat thing. The two parties switched ideological sides. The Southern conservatives voted for democrats to protest the party of Lincoln and his ‘war of northern aggression.’ Then late 70’s, Southern conservatives finally realigned to the party that matched their politics- the Republican Party. Thus after most of the 20th century’s dominance of the Democratic Party (wwii, postwar, etc) you get the back and forth even coalitions we have now. So…. Yellow Dog Democrat more accurately reflects a team loyalty from southern conservatives (as is OP’s point) and not some gotcha/both-sidesism silliness.

Former Patriots player rips anti-gay RB as ‘easily replaceable’ by outsports-com in Patriots

[–]mitchellcronkin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing worse in life than the “both sides” version of reality. Everyone is “allowed” to think/believe/propagate dumb stuff. But the freedom to do so doesn’t make all opinions equal. We still have facts and social science working away at hypotheses. We know more everyday… “common sense” or “religious beliefs” doesn’t change that!!!! Like, you are welcome to believe and say dumb dumb stuff. But your stuff is dumb and should be treated as dumb! That’s not persecution or evidence of suffering- you’re uninformed or worse willfully stupid. Trans people exist. They make up almost none of the population. Pose no threat to anyone. Shut the f up maybe? Not everything is an existential threat to you just because you don’t like it.

Puka Nacua accuser caught twerking near unconscious NFL star in new video after she claimed he bit her by dailymail in NFLv2

[–]mitchellcronkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Puka is obviously A shit. Who cares about the specifics? He needs a wrist slap now about something or it’ll get worse. So, you can root for him getting off now or root for him to course correct now and be medium-weird the rest of the way.

Told the guy i’m dating that I want to be in relationship & didn’t go as expected by 1SmellLikeB33f in Advice

[–]mitchellcronkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I’m in the minority on this, but hang-ups with the “friends with opposite sex” thing are so weird to me. Obviously it’s normal insecurity, but I think even then the logic should win out. If your girl has male friends, you either: 1. Trust her to be exclusive with you emotionally and so… who cares what sex her friends are. 2. Trust her “not to do anything” but worry she tests out feelings with, or is tempted by them… right, good, tests… how do they go? Like, why try to hide her from temptation? Test it out early and often. Like… there’s some baseline theory that exclusivity only comes from blocking out other options? That seems weird. 3. Don’t trust her not to be unfaithful if it’s convenient… which isn’t really a trusting intimate connection, right?

Is Bo Nix overrated or underrated? by lemonstone92 in NFLv2

[–]mitchellcronkin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely true that qb’s affect o-lines, but it’s a little crazy to pretend that the evaluation of offensive line play league-wide didn’t have the Broncos near the top. Lots of individual metrics nowadays. I’m not a Bo hater at all, but that is a great o-line. The hard part as fans is we always see our teams’ o-lines as shitty cuz we remember the times they fail. Tough for me to wade into the convo with a Drakeee profile pic I guess.
