I’m in on the Mason Taylor Scam

• No tight end has more targets or receptions than Mason Taylor over the past two games thanks to some of the most glorious garbage time script you'll ever witness. One of the league's ten fastest offenses, the Jets have run more offensive snaps than all but four teams over the past couple weeks. They're passing at a 67 percent clip while trailing this season. Like I said: glorious. Taylor has benefited bigly. His 71 routes over those two games rank third among tight ends. What's better: He's been targeted on 27 percent of those routes. It's the kind of thing you see from an every-week fantasy starter, though it hinges on the Jets continuing to be the most wretched team in pro sports. It's a decent bet.

Yeah the mainstreaming of sociopathy as a high status trait has not been good for humanity

A lot of what I've written on BadFaithTimes.com over the past few months is about this idea that 2024 marked the End of History, that nothing will ever change our cultural or political environment. I'd suggest reading one (1) book.

I just never got it. I guess the hype machine was so strong it made him seem inevitable.

I'm that friend who's too woke, but this isn't a LeBron conversation. It's capitalism. All superstars are boring now. LeBron, Trout, McDavid, Mahomes. Boring.

It extends to actors and musicians too.

Capitalism rewards blandness.

lebron might go down as the least interesting public figure of our lives. i can't tell if he's intentionally uninteresting or if it just comes naturally, but man that guy is boring.

If you're a California voter, please vote YES ON 50 and send that ballot back ASAP so the volunteers don't waste any time on you. And maybe volunteer if you have the time.

Sweet Californians, send those ballots back ASAP, so the volunteers don't need to bother with you.

I wrote a lot (too much?) about tight ends commanding targets at a high clip, along with a couple receivers running cold through five weeks.
