True, but 223 is on the bigger side for a RB. 203 is on the smaller side.

Other than the fact that one's a little guy who specializes in shiftiness/change of direction and the other's a big guy who runs with power, they're basically the same guy.

I'm about tired of all the Covid-19 messaging in the draft coverage. We get it, NFL. You care. A lot. Thanks for the deep enlightening thoughts, but please STFU and and tell me about the players.

I'm thinking the Dolphins are going to be a worthy adversary in a year or two.

Now you've got me worried. I've heard this before. Fool me once ...

I thought he'd go later based on projections, but I'm not shocked by it. That's a guy that brings a dimension not many teams have. He'd have looked good in red white and blue.

Well that sucks. I was holding out hope that we'd take Dillon in the 3rd.

I love this pick. Getting a DE with his level of talent this late in the draft is a huge win. I think he'll be a better pass rusher than people think. He doesn't have flashy moves, but he's hard to block and he gets to the QB. Plus, on obvious passing downs you can kick him inside. He looks to be a monster against the run too. No one's running his way on 3rd and short. Bills DL is going to be nasty.

Why do all the coaches have their kids in the background? And why does every pick have a tragic personal interest story dialed up?

I'm tired of people obsessing over politics through this. It really illustrates the extent to which our political affiliations are the irrational product of a primal instinct that served us well in primitive times, but has not evolved as fast as society has and is now greatly detrimental. Politics is supposed to be about selecting the people and policies with the goal of achieving the best outcomes. Now it's reversed and seems the goal is to "win" regardless of outcome. We're dealing with a serious threat to life and prosperity, both short and long term, on a scale not seen in generations, and far too many people are more concerned with how it will affect a political party that doesn't give a sh|t if they live or die.

This prolonged and seemingly perpetual shutdown has become irresponsible and inhumane. The Uber sanctimonious crowd demanding strict compliance with these absurd lockdown orders are the worst humans among us. As a hunch, most of them are not deeply affected, being either independently wealthy, still employed, or living on a government check. I seriously doubt many of them are watching their life's work burn before their eyes. Their plan, to the extent they have one, seems to be to live in seclusion until the end of time or discovery of miracle cure, whichever comes first. The latter may well come, but it's entirely likely that it doesn't. As per usual, those who believe they stand on insurmountable moral high ground are most often in the moral basement. Unwillingness to face hard decisions is not a virtue. I kind of understand wrt unavoidably crowded venues like theaters, arenas, and airplanes, but ~70% of what's shutdown should be reopened yesterday. We all know what precautions to take. We're going to Walmart and Home Depot without a problem. Why can't we go to department stores and restaurants?Why can't we get a goddamn haircut? Why are the bowling alleys, golf courses, and parks off limits? We all know to keep our distance and take reasonable precautions. This is no longer necessary. And to the self-aggrandizing douchebag who asks in his cucked out whiney voice "would you let someone die just to avoid national financial devastation," I'll tell you what I really think. Motherfuker, I would watch you die for a Big Mac.

Roger Goodell should never be allowed to speak in public.

I'm old enough to remember when it was sexist to question the wisdom of making Kim Pegula the president of operations.

Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings Of the bluebird as she sings The six o'clock alarm would never ring But it rings and I rise Wipe the sleep out of my eyes My shavin' razor's cold and it stings

Both. It's serious, but doesn't justify the heavy handed tactics. And the media coverage of this thing is a farce.

I'm sorry he mocked you.

I can't even remember if we were lovers, or if I just wanted to But I held her in my arms, I held her in my arms, I held her in my arms but it wasn't you

I liked TO. I don't even get Fox News and I have no idea what you're saying is obvious and flagrant. I'm still not sure what he's done that's so objectionable. Amen There is some hypocrisy there, but that's not what I was referring to, and it's not as bad as you think. Most of the hyper-moralistic types were Never Trumpers, and some still are (RIP the Jonah Goldberg I once enjoyed). Some of them have come around for various reasons, many because despite not liking the guy personally they're pretty happy with what he's done and b/c of the obscenely unfair attacks from the left. Most of the people who were pro Trump before it was cool never gave a ***** if the President got some side action. Plus, I don't know what he's done since being in office that demonstrates a lack of character, morals, or ethics. See above on hypocrisy. Idon't think there's even an argument to be made for the "both sides" position here. The behavior of the left over the last 4 years is more extreme, ruthless, divisive, and corrupt than anything I've ever seen from either side, and it's not even close. I challenge anyone to cite an example of anything approaching it in recent decades. EVERYTHING the man does is wrong. It's not only wrong, it's evil, corrupt, and incompetent. Saying anything mildly positive about him is met with utter condemnation. He's a bigoted, racist, sexist, Nazi who eats two scoops of ice cream and wants to ***** his own daughter. And he's a Russian spy to boot. He represents an existential threat to "our democracy" who wants to be a dictator. That's until the opportunity to take dictatorial power falls in his lap, then he's a POS for not acting like a dictator. A Chinese virus threatens to kill millions and the biggest concern is that he's racist for identifying its country of origin. It's racist to shut down travel from China and then he's a POS for not doing it sooner. He announces that doctors may have an available treatment for the Chinese Kung Flu and pushes to get it mass produced and the story is it's his fault that some mentally unstable left-wing activist poisoned her husband with fish tank cleaner because the active ingredient sounded similar. They even impeached the ***** for looking into the corruption of the guy they now want to make President. They conducted a 2 year investigation into the Russian collusion bull ***** after they knew it was bogus, and lied with impunity throughout. Now they want another investigation into his handling of the Kung Flu. It never ends. No matter what he does they call it a scandal. And don't even get me started on the Kavanaugh bull *****. And it doesn't stop with President Trump. His supporters are Nazis too, and it's okay to punch them. In fact, you should punch them. They're all racists, or at the very least, looked the other way on racism. And homophobes too. We can't cite any examples of anything remotely homophobic, but just go with it because Orange Man Bad. And that's just the highlight reel. I haven't even gotten into the AOC/Ilhan Omar/Rashid Talib insanity, and all the anti white male propaganda. Not have I addressed the censorship of right-wing views and the near universal support for that censorship by leftists. And this isn't reserved the fringe leftist websites or a few opportunistic politicians. It's mainstream news outlets, the entire Democrat establishment, and a very sizeable portion of the Democrat base. Most of this garbage is utterly baseless, and they know it, except for the sad souls that are too weak minded to see that they're being manipulated and follow the narrative like a cult (then refer to those of us who don't subscribe to the cult's tenets as cultists). But some people on the right said Obama was a Muslim from Kenya so it's the same? I'm not buying it. I would like for anyone to try to explain how the right, for all its flaws, (or even the left prior to 2016) has demonstrated anywhere near the same level of divisiveness, corruption, and dishonesty as what we've seen from the left over the last four years. On this I agree completely. I will say that although we are all subject to the same cognitive functions that cause this phenomenon, and which are being actively manipulated at all times by people who understand the psychology of influence, I still believe most of us have a halfway rational perspective. It's just that those who are most susceptible often become the most passionate and vocal. Even if that's only 20% of the population, that's still over 60 million people.

The fatal flaw in the "both sides" argument is that it draws a false equivalence that can always be supported regardless of the actual imbalance. When comparing one side's fringe to the other's base, either side can make the argument regardless of how absurd it's own position has become. You can have a thousand people claiming Trump is Hitler and counterbalance it with one guy calling Obama Stalin, and you've got support for a "both sides" argument. Both parties will always be comprised of politicians, and both sides will always have die hard supporters, some of whom are zealots and/or lunatics. Neither side will ever be perfect. This is true of every political faction in the history of the civilized world. The fact that both sides are flawed does not mean they are equally flawed.

Why would you do that to yourself?

So we've been told And some choose to believe it I know they're wrong, wait and see Some day we'll find it The rainbow connection The lovers, the dreamers, and me.

An absolutely idiotic take devoid of anything remotely resembling rational thought. The inability to distinguish between stating a rule should be changed and stating that people should not act in accordance with the existing rule is indicative of a deeply defective mind. But when the elusive opportunity to dunk on Orange Man appears to be within reaching distance, some are eager to advertise their stupidity with pride.

The morons at MSDNC think they scored with this one.

Imagine all the people living for today.
