No better litmus for Bills fans IQ than the 13 Seconds Game
>Josh scores 36 on a mid Chiefs defense:
WOW Josh is a superhero, that’s a legendary performance!!!
>Mahomes scores 42 on the Bills #1 Defense:
Bills defense sucks and Josh outplayed him!
>Chiefs DBs completely fall down TWICE, allowing 14 free points from busted-coverage TDs:
Josh had to ball out all night, Mahomes has the luxury to trust his defense!
>Mahomes steals 3 points by driving 50 yards in 10 seconds:
Mahomes did nothing special, McDermott just choked! And of course Butker made it, Mahomes always gets bailed out by kickers and defense.
>Butker missed 2 kicks earlier that game, leaving 4 points off the board in a game that went to OT:

America burned Japan's first gift of cherry trees. All 2,000 of them, on President Taft's direct order.
The 1910 shipment arrived in DC crawling with insects and nematodes. Agriculture inspectors condemned the lot, Taft signed off on the bonfire, and the State Department braced for a diplomatic disaster. Tokyo's mayor, Yukio Ozaki, responded by sending 3,020 more, grafted from the famous grove along the Arakawa River.
Those trees have spent a century paying the friendship back.
Four days after Pearl Harbor, vandals chopped down four of them. Park officials renamed the survivors "Oriental" cherry trees for the rest of the war to protect them from axes.
Then came the twist. By 1952 the original Arakawa grove in Tokyo, the parent stock, had nearly died from wartime neglect. Japan asked Washington for help. The Park Service shipped budwood from DC's trees back across the Pacific and restored the grove that created them. When a flood wiped out more Japanese trees in 1982, horticulturists took 800 fresh cuttings from the Tidal Basin.
These 250 new trees solve a real problem too. The Tidal Basin is sinking, and a $133 million seawall rebuild forced crews to rip out roughly 150 trees. Japan offered replacements before anyone asked, timed to America's 250th birthday.
So the genetics run in a loop. Tokyo's grove seeded Washington's. Washington's saved Tokyo's. The saplings going in this spring descend from both.
114 years of diplomacy, running on grafted branches.
Gotta say I’m pretty disappointed in TPC. The fist pump my trainer does when he wins is VERY unsportsmanlike, and should not be allowed in a professional setting
House Pepsi is scattered and weak…
A secret meeting in the Holy City of Crush between the three other factions is currently being held in hopes to capitalize on this opportunity.
The small Dominion of Dr Pepper seeks an alliance with the unruly mountain vagabonds of Descendants of Dew but without assurances from the Coca Confederacy negotiations are currently falling flat.
🐐 Travis Kelce is the GOAT… and it’s not close.
The debate is fun for TV.
The numbers? Not debatable.
Let’s start with what separates greatness from legend: longevity and sustained dominance.
