The thing about the McCain trade is that the thought process was a disaster on every level — player eval, timing, negotiation, long term cap/money management, reading how it might affect the locker room. Not to mention the coaching side of it, who very obviously limited and misused this guy, and who was hired and backed by this front office. Like if you just had competent decision making on any of those fronts, this trade doesn’t happen.

The decision to trade McCain now, the way they went about it, and the return they got really highlights the areas of top to bottom organizational brainrot. Just an all-time fuck up, I will never get over it, and I will bet anything that it continues to look worse and worse over time.

@denizselman33 Eagles should be applauded, but I understand why they want to ban it. The NFL's main goal is (and should be) to maximize entertainment. 2nd/3rd and short is now a guaranteed first down for us, which is not fun. The success rate was something like 98% including repeat attempts.

@Fit_For_Golf I'm glad to hear this - thanks!!

@EaglesXsandOs On the draft night coverage, they were talking about maybe developing him as a RT. I wonder if that is the plan here?

@Fit_For_Golf A lot of golfers rave about yoga. Would doing this routine pretty much capture all of the flexibility benefits of yoga (assuming I also work on strength/core)? Or is there another routine in the app that would?

@SheilKapadia Excluding garbage time (<2% Win Probability), I'm pretty sure Mahomes had the worst game of the entire NFL season in terms of EPA/dropback (-1.25), and the third worst dropback success rate (16.7%). (From https://t.co/4sqf8UG2M3)

Hurts was a stellar +.51 and 57%!

THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES ARE SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS!

@denizselman33 What's the reason for Hurts' insanely high CPOE?

@BOENGLISH1 Pro golfer Rory McIlroy recently said he takes 20mg/day

@wanyeburkett @mattyglesias Obese people are bombarded with hunger signals even after they've had their 2000 calories. Overcoming this hunger is hard and unpleasant. The experience of dieting is way more unpleasant than that of being a lifelong, naturally-thin person. GLP-1s fix this basic unfairness.

@WolframRvnwlf @natfriedman @AI_AmyRavenwolf Interesting, but I disagree - the o1 writing is substantially funnier and more entertaining to me.

@WolframRvnwlf @natfriedman @AI_AmyRavenwolf I'm just a casual AI observer but this is elite writing, better than anything I've seen before from LLMs. Wow.

@denizselman33 Ravens' non-garbage time success rate (4%-96% WP) was 38.5%, their lowest of the season. Offensive EPA per play was -0.076, second lowest of the season.

@AriDavidPaul Large federal incentives for LIDAR-equipped cars would be a great place to start.

[Adam B. @_Adam_B__]

@AriDavidPaul Great take. But I'd argue that high speeds and connected cars/roads are decades away.

I think the most likely way this plays out is simply a rollout of Waymo-level technology. Reasonable speeds, human remote assist for edge cases, etc. The tech we need is already here.

As a traveler, I'm both a proud American and a citizen of the world — and I've got a few thoughts on this coming election.

This election is deeper than partisanship. It's far more than Republican versus Democrat. In the future, big challenges like pandemics, refugees, and climate change will be blind to borders. They'll be everyone's problem and only solved by working together as a family of nations.

The world needs not American isolation, but American leadership. Not the chaos of Trump, but the stability of @KamalaHarris.

Of course, how you vote is your choice. But if you believe, as I do, in the importance of nations working together constructively, the stakes are really high...and the best candidate is clear. Register to vote today at https://t.co/ghTvEdFIEP — and encourage your travelin’ friends to do the same!

@emollick I wonder how long it will be until I can buy a car with Waymo's technology for under ~100k. I'd gladly pay that to help protect my family and make the roads safer for others.

@Mike_kim714 Unrelated question, but I can't find the answer anywhere: what club do pros use most often for normal 10-20 yard chips, where there's plenty of green to work with?
