Woah
The Lions offensive line just got a lot better, as one the game's greats will return -- Center Frank Ragnow is returning. Sounds like he's in shape and ready to roll sooner, rather than later.
Happy Thanksgiving to the Lions.

It shouldn't be necessary on a properly cooked steak.
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

Imma go to Del Buono's tomorrow and elbow a 75 year old woman in the face for the last box of chocolate rugelach.
When asked to bring pie, you do what we did in the 80's. We drove to Termini's in Philly, double-parked, then sat in a freezing car for 47 minutes until Dad emerged with pie.

By this arbitrary standard, pumpkin pie is not pie and therefore Thanksgiving itself is a lie.
Quiche is a tart. A pie has a lid

Including eel. Unless The Who lied to me.
The British get it right. 'Pie' is anything enveloped in crust.

What about tomato pie?
Is quiche pie?

But if I brought chicken pot pie you would have no legal recourse to eject me because we live in a society with LAWS.
And quiche is more pie like than chicken pot pie.

If I ask you for pie and you bring delicious savory custard instead of dessert, you are being ejected. And I'm keeping the quiche.

If so, shame on them for not clarifying. I could have brought some weird fruit pie no one likes anyway. Instead: awesome side dish!
Look at this way, if you told someone you were bringing pie to a dinner, and it was quiche, would they be disappointed?

Voting is necessary, but not sufficient on its own.
We need to support fighters, not folders, in every race at every level. Taking down fascism & oligarchy requires mutual aid, mass mobilization, direct action (ie anti-ICE patrols), targeted pillar disruption *and* voting. Keep fighting back

“Just vote blue in 2026” won’t save us from American fascism. Both parties have been drifting to the right for years. Democrats and Republicans have aligned themselves with corporatocracy and oligarchy, respectively.

Im ready to eat a plate of raw turkey plz.
Keeping Eli out of HOF contention helps my argument that Aaron Fraudgers is also NOT HOF-worthy. Dude got lucky with his single SB appearance/win. He never got back because he always choked in the playoffs.

Eli had NO HOF support on the 2007/11 Giants except an aging Strahan in 07. Not many teammates who will ever even make the quarterfinalist stage. It's an argument in his favor. I don't find it sufficient, but it's valid.
A question, most of the HOF quarterbacks have been accompanied by either a HOF receiver or multi time pro bowlers at pass catcher. Should Eli Manning be cut some slack due to not having a Jerry Rice or Michael Irvin? Shouldn’t that enhance the accomplishments of the Mannings and McNabbs?
