Watching this iteration of the 49ers square up against the Buccaneers will be sick. perverted. offensive. absolutely rancid. Brock Purdy losing his job to a guy who wears Riddler suits. Absolutely disgusting.

And they'll likely beat the Bucs because of insane NFL bullshit. I love this league

sounds like a whole lot of words to explain away just doing basic reading comprehension. Dumb and easily whipped into panic.

yes it's front-loaded, but could you bear to read to the fucking end and then not whine about how you didn't want to

There's a very fun game to play here between everyone in the comments and quotes freaking out about how this post is worded - go back and see if they ever bemoaned the decline of literacy among young people. Just see if there's any overlap. Just a hunch.

From Elon Musk to Mike Lombardi to some nameless private equity-appointed dipshit wrecking shop, this seems to be the prevailing order of the day everywhere. Willfully ignorant of what personnel do and just crashing it all then panicking. Gotta be part of the MBA curriculum these days

“It was like this weird revolving door of people in and out of meetings,” the ex-staffer said. “They fired some GAs and QCs, and then realized they didn’t have enough help and called a couple of them to come back after having fired them.”

"Cam Skattebo won't last long in the NFL, Cam Skattebo can't keep playing like this, he'll crush his brain, he'll be out of the league in 2 years, don't get invested" shut up. Shut the fucking fuck up. Shut the fuck up. Let the man do football good let him be Captain Caveman he deserves this

It’s insane. I even had a fridge supplied in my place and when it broke the management waited two weeks to tell me my lease said they had no obligation to fix it and I had to go buy my own replacement

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

very funny we had a ~10 year window where idiot "tradcaths" thought they held some sort of cultural grip, only to come to reality that this has been the inevitable arc of the Church if you paid attention to history end/post-Cold War. Even Benedict XVI said "democratic socialism is good, actually"

Saint Óscar Romero with laser red eyes. Romero was martyred by right wing death squads in El Salvador after championing liberation theology and speaking out against poverty and social injustice.

In the second half against the Broncos, the Eagles threw the ball 23 times and ran just once in the second half, defecating on a 17-point lead they had built up.

The Giants aren't good but the Eagles playcalling is so bad tonight has a good shot to be a masterclass in struggle.

honestly given the Cinderella name I just assume it was pushing on in fairy tale style, but yeah the historic Oguri Cap horse was racing in the late 80s so it kinda fits in a meta way. It's rule of cool anyway

Chris Perfett @perfett.bsky.social · 2d

coaches also being the general managers and making draft decisions is also just like...not how football is anymore! Like it really matters they're on the same page but they can't be the same person anymore. It's a very outdated idea.
