It’s only going to get worse. Advertising is so intrusive.

Why would LEO be any different? We dump our shit anywhere we please. We’re gross.

Sometimes I only realize I’m reading an Onion post when the “wtf” hits. This was one of those times.

Isn’t this exactly what the Jets said last year right before firing Robert?

On the Miami Dolphins: No changes are expected at this time, I’m told.

Outside corner specifically. Hobbs might be a rare miss for Gute in FA and any illusion of him playing on the boundary has been debunked.

Ben 🧀 @benfromtx.bsky.social · 1d

Gotta sync up on those deep balls, otherwise, he is on the road to a long career of high level QB play.

We are so incredibly fortunate that we get to compare 3 QBs giving us elite play and see so many similarities with HoF level players.

That’s what libraries and streaming sites are for. I’ll go out of my way to make sure I don’t pay for something from hateful assholes, but I also won’t deny myself something beautiful. Likewise I’ll throw $ at creators I know are good humans, it’s tough to keep track of it all.

From a psychological perspective, the more you deny and project disdain, the more likely it is those feelings run deeper and you’re repressing.

Jealousy can manifest as hostility, especially when you’re unhappy.

Gotta separate the art from the artist or there’d be nothing left, creators often have a screw loose.

Love Gavin, we used to be able to agree with someone 80% and realize it was an upgrade but now people look for a reason to be angry just so they can feel smart.

If you’d have told us 2 years ago that Darnold and Jones would be 2 of the top 3 QBs…

Ben 🧀 @benfromtx.bsky.social · 1d

I don’t understand people who actually get angry about football when they don’t play it themselves. This is all a pleasant distraction and I’m sure it’s probably the worst part of your job as someone who gets paid to talk about the Packers (dream job).

I’m a little nervous. Steelers have been rolling, Packers have been stumbling through some wins.. the OL needs to play better and hopefully we get some guys like Wyatt and Watson back.

Ben 🧀 @benfromtx.bsky.social · 1d

The time for frustration is over… a win is a win, especially this year on the road.

Micah was incredible and the stats don’t tell the whole story. The Packers lose that game without Micah.

Wendell Ferreira @wendellfp.bsky.social · 1d

Micah Parsons had a monster game, which included a great performance in run defense.

And he let Jerry Jones know it. atozsports.com/nfl/green-ba...

Micah Parsons delivers a clear jab at Jerry Jones after dominating performance in Packers’ win over the Cardinals

Edge defender is clearly not happy with how the Cowboys treated him on the way out, and his high-level play for the Packers is the best possible answer.

It was the security guard. 🤣

Is this what journalistic integrity sounds like?

We need more passionate Indy reporters and less big name mass media outlets that want to tell you what you should think. We have the infrastructure, what a great time for a media revolution.

I can’t promise you’ll always agree with me or like what I have to say, but unlike legacy media, I can promise you I’ll always be honest and never trade truth for access.

This dude is under the radar but it’s a better podcast than most of the big names.

I listen to an embarrassing amount of podcasts and he’s probably the best Packer pod out there.

Dedicated Packers @dedicatedpackers.bsky.social · 1d

Some positives, and certainly some negatives, from Green Bay in their fourth victory of the season.

They probably have the best coaches in the league. Everyone was talking all week about how Warner would be an insurmountable injury and the Falcons have the best D but CMC chewed them up and SCs 5th string scrub D looked incredible.

Props to them, it’s impressive.

Ben 🧀 @benfromtx.bsky.social · 1d

Wow. You're really emotional about a team you don't actually play for, congrats on the win though.

Ben 🧀 @benfromtx.bsky.social · 1d

Welcome to the NFL, I'm almost positive they're calling/not calling what they want to keep games tight this year. Watching the Packers/Cards they called EVERYTHING and then some that were nothing.

Ben 🧀 @benfromtx.bsky.social · 1d

You seem like a troll who's objectively disconnected from reality.. is Truth Social leaking? 😂

Ben 🧀 @benfromtx.bsky.social · 1d

Not calling for his job but we need to start looking at him. The play calling was better, more aggressive, but the penalties are so frustrating and that’s on coaching.

Ben 🧀 @benfromtx.bsky.social · 1d

He needs to get the timing down with his WRs deep but he’s been playing really well, especially in clutch situations.
