Chiefs saw their WRs combine for 39 total receiving yards on 6 catches and did nothing. There needs to be a scheme change as well as an influx of talent. WR1, WR2 and WR3 are needed. Get Patrick Mahomes some help!

[🇫🇷 @EmployedChiefs]

Notice how nothings happened

[Chip Kip 🔌 @fraudarmstrong]

There are college WRs who could walk onto an NFL field right now and give the Chiefs 1,000 yards in 11 games without ever opening Andy Reid’s “complicated” playbook. Let alone 17

Chelsea playing again…missing that one good luck lads 👍🏾

[The New York Times @nytimes]

From @TheAthletic: The Kansas City Chiefs are the NFL franchise that provides cover for violent abusers, repeat offenders, and now, because they need someone to make a field goal, an unrepentant sleazeball, our columnist writes. It’s always the Chiefs. https://t.co/Pp8O3p2upk

Remember when Western journalists discussed whether Israel had destroyed a hospital in Gaza City?

[MadMontana @MadMontana]

We’ve lost our No1 goalkeeper, No1 striker & No1 defender in just over a week.

Is there any other team that gets this type of upheaval to a season year upon year

[rock. @do_u24]

If Josh got hurt and Lamar had 4 turnovers in the playoffs to lose to Bo Nix

This would not be the conversation

[Jamarrius @YungxJayy]

He kept repeating the same question as if he was going to get a different answer, and I’m glad she didn’t back down. Attending a pro-Palestine protest on October 8th is nothing to be ashamed of or regret.

[Scott Kacsmar @ScottKacsmar]

The power move is to nudge Reid into retirement and get Sean McVay.

While McVay has his flaws, his willingness to sign off on trading picks for impact players would maximize Mahomes' 30s.

[GEN Z GEOPOLITICS @genzgeopolitics]

Never forget this video of Lyor justifying his exploitation of black violence and drug addiction as “having a family to feed too”. He has killed the career of anybody who showed any sympathy for Palestinians. The music industry is filled with leeches like this who exploited black suffering to make 9-10 figures. The man who invented the ultra exploitative 360 deal is the son of Israeli spies. Dame called all of this out when I was a kid.

As the head of global music at Youtube, he is the filter for what gets pushed onto playlists and what should go to die. Just like the other expose on UMG, the imperialists are controlling what is pushed to your ears at every level. Palestinians had families to feed too but he has used his power and wealth to further their oppression. This is how easily global struggles are intertwined without you knowing it

[Zito @_Zeets]

We’re still going to get endless articles about saving the country’s soul, and how none of their citizens know what is happening in Gaza or the West Bank, and that Bibi is misleading them, and how their soldiers massacring people sometimes get depressed.

The greed and entitlement of billionaires is a main reason why they shouldn’t exist.

Man, when you have Dan Orlovsky being the voice of reason…

This guy is a disgrace to the sport, it's embarrassing

KC’s front office was brilliant in adding K9 to get a needle mover in the run game, maybe even 2 with Emmett Johnson next year.

But KC doesn’t have a single needle mover in the passing game and they really haven’t since 2023 Kelce. Adding Josh Downs would be fine because he theoretically can take Worthy’s role but it doesn’t solve KC’s main issue; they do not have a real WR1 or WR2. I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that Rice and Worthy are one of, if not the worst high-usage, wide receiver duos in the league.

The only way to truly fix something is to acknowledge that there is even a problem to begin with and KC has been pretending they don’t have a WR problem for way too long.

It's not Qaddafi. It's not al Assad. It's not Maduro. It's not Xi or Putin. It's British police announcing that anyone even attending a protest will be arrested.

[theQuestion @ivefewquestions]

If Brett Veach is an elite talent evaluator and Andy Reid is an elite offensive architect, why has Kansas City struggled to replace its departing stars, and why has its passing game become increasingly dependent on Patrick Mahomes creating outside the structure of the offense? At what point do we stop using the dynasty's accomplishments to excuse the decisions that have weakened the roster?

Yesterday, I received a security notification from Apple warning me that my iPhone had been targeted by a sophisticated mercenary spyware attack, involving technology of the kind developed by companies such as NSO Group, the Israeli firm behind the notorious Pegasus spyware.

Perhaps the most alarming aspect of Apple’s warning was its confirmation that such attacks target specific individuals “because of who you are or what you do.”

This is not the first time I have been targeted by spyware. I was previously targeted with Pegasus in both 2017 and 2021.

I do not yet know who is behind this latest attack, or whether it is connected to my investigative documentary, The Trap, which I directed and co-produced. The film, available on Al Jazeera 360, exposed the details of the September 2024 pager explosions in Lebanon.

What is certain, however, is that the targeting of journalists with sophisticated spyware poses a grave threat to press freedom, the confidentiality of journalistic sources, and the very foundations of independent investigative journalism.

[Shaun King @shaunking]

🚨🚨Apple basically told him that Israel has either just hacked his devices or is trying to.

He made the brilliant documentary on the Pager attack in Lebanon.

They literally destroyed his home last week.

Now this.
