STOP. Some designer is going to see this and ruin my next laptop.

I am so psyched for the Red River Rivalry. There is a massive amount of unknown, and instead of know elite vs elite, it is, "maybe elite if healthy and clicking vs maybe elite if they can figure out how to block/run/throw", lol.

I hope Arch and Mateer can put on a show. We need it.

America over the last 10yrs has taught me that nothing about you as a person matters in the grand scheme.

You don't have to be decent. You must lack empathy. You don't need to be qualified. You don't need to follow laws or norms. You can lie. You can be a hypocrite.

America rewards that behavior

I worry about both long term with their running styles. Dart needs to learn to not get smashed while running. That should come with experience.

Skattebo, well, it's just his style. He wouldn't be where he is if he tried to save his body. It may be a short-ish (<6yrs) career for him.

Skattebo and Dart looked like inspired Draft picks tonight for the Giants.

I was not sold on Dart at all, and of course the long term story is yet to be written. He looks absolutely legit as of now.

Skattebo is the epitome of "draft good players" over specific traits. He just has an it factor.

I am fairly confident they will make the playoffs, but I won't be surprised if they miss out.

The defense/goaltending is not good enough to offset the offensive losses.

I think this comes down to whether teams around them improve more.

If you are a #MapleLeafs fan you have to be ok with what you saw tonight, but understanding that this could be a tough year.

You wanted a change, and now it's time to be patient. Losing 100pts, or let's assume 50-60 after replacements have come in, is going to swing games.

Goaltending... ehhh.

If Jerry showed up at every regular season game and flipped off the crowd... so 272 a year. He'd be fined a total of $68,000,000 (if my math is right), which is nowhere even close to 1% of his reported $20,000,000,000 net worth. Not even .5%.

It's such a comically small amount for NFL owners.

I love that Texas Tech looks to be legitimate again.

College football needs a serious team to come out of the B12. I want to watch the playoff game and not assume it's just a warmup for the other team.

Did they spend? Yeah, and so did everyone else in the top 10. They nailed their portal moves.

It would be one thing if he was 21 and had years and years to develop.

Shough is already 26. I repeat... 26. A lot of guys get their second contract by then, or are negotiating soon.

He could be a 27yr old rookie if they wait a year and see how Rattler plays out. That's a bad bet.

Glazers Out. @sharpenyourchisels.bsky.social · 4d

If Tyler Shough isn't starting for the Saints by the end of the year, that pick looks like a total waste.

It wasn't a fourth or fifth.... it was a second. To be a good team, you need to be getting long term starters from most of your 1st and 2nd round picks.

To waste one in a rebuild... yikes.

She won't last two years. She is going to go way overboard and into blatant propaganda territory that pushes traditional CBS viewers away.

People can only hear how great Bibi actually is so many times before they turn off the TV and wonder what the hell is in the water at CBS.

Meanwhile, Cleveland is sitting there looking at the countdown clock on Deshaun Watson's contract.

That has to be painful.

Your ex upgraded and you keep sinking into oblivion. Oh, and you also have to hear about your ex constantly.

Ouch.

Social media has been absolutely wrecked by the never ending flood of propaganda accounts by both foreign and domestic groups who want to write their own reality.

You can't casually browse any site without seeing them.

The amount of time and money being spent suggests it must work somewhat well.

Incoming back to back losses to the Saints and Titans.

Then we have the obligatory following article about how everyone else got way too hyped, but you were the wise one who suggested sticking with a methodical rebuild.

This post, of course, quietly disappears into the aether.

John Harbaugh is not getting fired and Ravens' fans need to chill out.

He, like other culture coaches, is so reliant on nailing the coordinator hire and making sure it works fast. Sometimes it goes wrong. Just ask Sirianni since he took over the HC job.

A lot of teams would kill to hire him.

When will the media just say what is so obvious.

Trump has already ignored court orders and this is already a Constitutional Crisis?

Why the fuck do they keep saying “if it happens”?

Oh, wait, right wing billionaires now own most of them.

People like Tapper should know better… but that paycheck.

DJ Lagway making scouts breathe a sigh of relief vs Arch Manning making scouts and the media wonder whether they will have to admit they based all of their expectations off of his NIL payment and last name.

HS prospect ratings only last so long. Eventually you have to update your resume in college

Bill Belichick to Michigan Tech. A GLIAC powerhouse that can help him revive his young college career.

What am I supposed to think of the Biden->Trump voter who is now playing the "I didn't vote for that" tape on loop so that they can pretend like they are shocked.

We told them. They told us we were being absurd.

How can I look at them as anything other than bad people?

They knew who he was.

They will end up being the domestic military force that Trump uses to enforce his threats.

I firmly believe he will attempt to declare the Dem Party a radical terrorist group. Miller is laying the foundation for it right now.

The worst part... plenty of seemingly normal people chose this.

Glazers Out. @sharpenyourchisels.bsky.social · 6d

ICE is going to grow to a size that Trump will be able to use them to stop an election in either '26 or '28.

It will reach a size and lawlessness that normal people are terrified to go anywhere near where they are.

They can beat you, detain you, and even kill you for simply inconveniencing them.

Miami is a legitimate contender, but I also don't trust them at all.

I need to see so much more from Beck to convince me I should picture him walking out for a national title game.
