Patrick Mahomes was a strong MVP candidate through 13 weeks despite the Chiefs being 6-6
Mahomes was 3rd/33 in EPA per play up until that point with the highest usage rate in the league. The starting receivers were either suspended, injured or playing injured (not a single one had an above 50 ESPN receiver score). The lack of explosiveness in the run game wasn’t threatening defenses
Mahomes’ 8.8% scramble rate was the highest of his career. He was also pushing the ball down the field more because of Thornton’s big play ability. It was really impressive what he did in the offense!
The offense really broke down in the Texans and Chargers games against great defenses with multiple OL out. Without Mahomes, the Chiefs we’re starting some bad backup options but ranked 32nd/32 in EPA per play weeks 16-18
On some real shit though, the reason why you wouldn’t want the US & Israel to affirm ‘food being a right’ is because it creates weird legal obligations and opens up litigation claims. Food being a right is nothing more than moral grandstanding dressed up as altruism.
If you care to dig past the surface level claims, you’ll find that for the 2021 resolution:
“U.S. diplomats told the Committee the draft contained “many unbalanced, inaccurate, and unwise provisions””
“creating new obligations or framing “positive rights” in ways Washington could not support”
Essentially you do not have the right to force me to produce food for you. Positive rights in that sense.
Another concern cited is that it would justify trade protectionism (tariffs) causing massive economic decline.
So no, the US & Israel aren’t colluding to starve people. Countries need to start taking responsibility instead of begging the US for handouts.

137 touches vs Brazil and France, yet created just ONE chance and 0 shots on target
Good campaign tbh, but Belgium probs would've won that World Cup with someone like Salah
This was always the path for Portugal. Attack is dire. Wingers are all situational, none starter worthy. Let Mendes/Cancelo be your width and just pack the middle of the pitch with Bruno/Vitinha/Neves/Mateus and even Felix starting in a front 2 and dropping to overload.
Brazil produces world-class footballers by the hundreds — but mostly because it's a giant.
Strip out size and the real overachiever is tiny Uruguay: under 4 million people, more football greatness per capita than anywhere on Earth.
The new issue of The Atlas is out: why is South America so exceptionally good at men’s football?
The USA is the only country in the world that doesn’t need to invest in major stadium upgrades for the World Cup. Even Europe does since only top clubs have large stadiums.
Every NFL city already has a FIFA World Cup stadium.
