@CoachRC23 I always find it way more impressive if the DB actually wins the rep in 1-on-1s. Man up, with no help anywhere and no formations, splits, or down/distance to give them a tell? WRs should absolutely dominate every time

@DSP4150 @SamMonsonNFL I think, if he comes back, he's at least 80%. Sounds like he's not going to come back if he doesn't feel like he can still be an impact player. And 80%, he's top 5

@pyrameadhead To answer his questions directly - yes. To all of them.

[Brock @bdl8144]

Responses to this are hilarious. Guaranteed there are a shitload who support the current economic system in the US and the vast inequalities it creates, but whine incessantly about it in sports. Yay capitalism!

No person would undergo a full transition, be in a body and identity they feel out of place in, and incur the vitriol of millions and millions, for the sole purpose of being better at a sport. Ever.

If I see that “scenario” 1 more time like it’s a plausible thing Imma lose it

Ossoff demolishes Hegseth -- then Hegseth has an epic crashout

Sen. Jon Ossoff used Hegseth's premature declarations of victory against him during his Senate testimony, repeatedly reading back statements Hegseth made in March and April about Iran's military being "destroyed" and "obliterated" and asking him if he stands by them.

After Hegseth spent five minutes dodging, Ossoff concluded by noting that "you will not answer whether your statement made on the 14th day of the war that Iran's military was 'destroyed and made combat ineffective' was a truthful statement to the American people as you sit here and ask for tens of billions more."

A reeling Hegseth then crashed out in response to a similar line of questioning from Sen. Gary Peters, snapping at him that "you have Trump derangement syndrome!"

Peters replied to Hegseth that "you, sir, are the failure," as Susan Collins brought the hearing to an abrupt close.

Here's all of Ossoff's questioning followed by Hegseth's tantrum:

Border Patrol pulls over a 20-year-old in Slidell, LA for “white lights on the back of your vehicle… your reverse lights are on the whole time.”

Then, before writing a single ticket, the agent asks: “What’s your citizenship?”

The driver, Alan Laureano, was born in Slidell. His passenger — his 13-year-old stepbrother — was born in Pearl River, Louisiana. Both are U.S. citizens.

Didn’t matter. Twice, on camera, the agent tells Laureano he’s going to “check” the kid and “if he’s illegal, I will take him.”

He tries to open the 13-year-old’s car door himself. Laureano locks it and rolls the window down instead.

The agent then interrogates the child directly — full name, spelling, date of birth, birthplace — while Laureano stands his ground and refuses to hand over his own ID, telling the agent he doesn’t have the right to stop him over a taillight.

Immigration attorney Michael Gahagan reviewed the video and called it what it is: “an illegal detention.” Border Patrol isn’t authorized to detain someone over a traffic violation — they need independent reasonable suspicion of an immigration violation, and that has to come first, not get invented after the stop.

DHS’s after-the-fact statement claims the stop was based on “reasonable suspicion or probable cause of federal law violations” — but doesn’t say what that violation was. WWL Louisiana asked twice. No answer either time.

This is the pattern: pretext stop, pivot to citizenship, threaten a kid with removal before confirming anything. It only looks “routine” until you’re the one being asked to prove you belong in the country you were born in.

@KibblesNBits @RepBoebert Lol, he literally has provided no evidence of China interfering, dipshit. Maybe start there

@EvilGregJackson @MigClass If anything, he looks slightly less muscled. Truly incredible work here

@SkinnerPm Sadly, this does resonate with a lot of people. It's so goddamn depressing.

[Brock @bdl8144]

@jrcarterjr @friscojosh I heard something about this like 10 years ago, can't remember where though. My understanding is that the effects are extremely similar and medical technology being what it is, who knows what we would learn if he were tested today.

Let me tell you what just got reported, because you will not believe it until you see it laid out.

The Trump administration cut a billion-dollar tungsten deal with Kazakhstan. Tungsten is the metal we need for missile warheads, fighter jets, and computer chips. Trump himself got on the phone to close it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked it from the inside, sending letters, leaning on the Kazakh president, lining up as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing.

Within weeks of those negotiations, investors tied to a firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took a 20% stake in an entity connected to the very same Kazakhstan project their father was negotiating. Around that same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Lutnick’s own sons, raised $210 million for a partner in the deal and pocketed the fees.

The fathers set the policy. The sons cashed in.

Six days after the Trump sons and their partners moved their money, Lutnick signed the final deal.

The reporting found one or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies working with the government on critical mining deals.

The total federal funding flowing toward those companies tops $8.9 billion.

This is your tax money.

It is supposed to secure our supply chains and protect our troops, not pad the portfolios of the President’s children and the Commerce Secretary’s children.

This is the most corrupt administration in American history. It is not close.

We must keep digging, and keep asking the questions they do not want asked. Republicans in Congress are unwilling to lift a finger. Mike Johnson is running a protection racket.

Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

@RepNancyMace Can't wait to see Republicans actually put this into practice.
Can't wait to see you speak out against Ken Paxton!

Since 2015, drafted QBs are averaging -0.19 EPA/Play when playing Iowa.

Georgia is No. 2 at -0.08

[Steve Palazzolo @StevePalazzolo_]

Watching Sorsby's 11-for-33 passing game at Utah and working on a theory that highly-drafted QBs struggle at Utah (Jared Goff 5-INT game).

As it turns out, Utah is pretty good at home against drafted QBs, but

IOWA IS ELITE.

No. 1 EPA/Play vs. drafted QBs by a mile since '15

@FoxNews Looks like a peaceful protest to me

[Brock @bdl8144]

@ZachLahn @iowademocrats Doesn't matter if your family has, shithead, it's about *you*. Stop trying to piggyback off the work of others and pull yourself up by your own bootstraps.
