It's like someone typed "Defiant statement with patriotic buzzwords" in to ChatGPT and said "Pete, post this on Xitter". DiSantis would be so much better at this.

So why nominate this trainwreck and not somebody like Tom Cotton?

What the hell are Chiefs fans doing worrying about anything? They're a Dynasty. They've got a horseshoe rammed up their ass. The league gargles their nuts. My god. They must have run out of Busch Lite and Crystal Meth or something, it's the only explanation. Maybe Jaxon Mahomes cancelled their favorite strip club?

The Eagles are in white and every Baltimore DB is wearing white gloves and rash guards.

Good on whichever Jags player beat the hell out of that guy. Because unless Pittsburgh catches us on Opening Day, we kick the living ***** out of them.

Who can blame them.

Still wrapping my head around the fact that Milani has been out for 14 months.

Alright. In a nutshell, and if various OSINTs and other news sources are correct: 1. Aleppo, Homs and Homma have fallen or are falling. Those are all top-5 urban centers in Syria. 2. Assad and his family and allies have skedaddled to Moscow, Europe and the UAE. 3. There is currently a coup in progress, being led by Assad army diehards to seize what's left of the government and form some kind of defense of the Alawite heartland. 4. Assad Army loyalists burned at least one government Arsenal to keep it out of HTS hands. 5. Iranian and Russian forces are evacuating their positions, regardless of their proximity to HTS and the various rebel factions. They are not offering any meaningful resistance to the rebels so far either. 6. All Anti-Assad forces, whether they're rebels, moderates, Islamists, Kurds, US-backed, or Turkey-backed, have gone over to the offensive, Tet-style. 7. There has been no movement of Russian or Iranian forces into Syria to try and save the Assad regime +yet+.

Ok, so Turkey decided now was the time to take a Russian/Iranian proxy off the board.

I don't think the NFL wants Bezos in their club, because they like running their club. Of course they're happy to do business with him and make more money in a second than any of us will make in a lifetime. But I don't think they'll give him a seat at the table.

Looks like the rebel faction HTS (a mishmash of anti Assad rebels and Islamists with loose Turkish backing?) is carving through Assad regime forces and their Russian mercenary backers. They kicked off an offensive earlier this week. It came out of nowhere, and now the web is full of videos of them looting captured Assad regime arsenals, driving captures Russian armored vehicles, and strolling through the streets of Aleppo. Aleppo was taken by Assad eightish years ago and was a symbol of his "inevitable victory". My guess is Turkey unleashed its pet militants to remind Putin that Turkey is the regional hegemon and Should Be Taken Seriously. Putin shot down Erdogan's peace plan in Ukraine, so it makes sense that Turkey would take advantage of Russian weakness now that Russia refused Turkish help. Especially now that Israel gutted Hezbollah and has Iran wimpering in a corner.

This comes from the internet, so of course it's true: Josh Allen's WR corps makes $12 million/year. Tua's WR corps makes over $60 million/year. Take it for what it's worth.

The difference between Lindsey Stirling and Miami is Lindsey Stirling can play.

Miami face adversity like a team that's built on tax breaks, bottle service, and 75 in the shade.

That is outstanding, and more work than I'm willing to put in!

I've done turkey in the oven with bacon on top and stuffing inside. It's great, but crock pot turkey breast is so low hassle and the drippings are one hell of a gravy base. Whisk in some corn starch and butter and you're set.

Not possible fellah. The true spirit of Thanksgiving is found when everyone is passed out in front of a football game by 6pm. We're hosting this year. We're doing two crock pot turkey breasts, mashed potatoes and gravy. Our guests are bringing a charcuterie board, four pies, greenbean and onion casserole, and at least two trays of stuffing. We've got an Loch Lomond 18 on the bar cart for starters and a very nice smoked Australian cheddar to share around.

First Xitter, now FB? The Ministry of Truth gets bigger every day!

Listen. Smart Businessman will save America, just look at how the Wizz Kids crushed North Vietnam.

I'm just enjoying the continued posting of excerpts from the current, state-run media conglomerate, aka Twitter/X. Usually we disregard state run media as "the MSM", but since the board agrees with Musk's Ministry of Truth, well, baaaaaa go the sheep.

The Killers are Indy Pop. Offspring were Alt Rock sure, but the rest of those are Emo bands. Today, "classic rock" is music from the 90s. Bands like the Eagles, BOC, Rush, America, Chicago, Foghat, Boston, etc, are called "Yacht Rock" because it's music for old, rich, retired people.

I wandererd over to the 49ers message boards. It's like a funeral and they think they're jumping feet first into a wood chipper.

Looking at the standings, I *think* New England. That would drop Miami to 4-7 and bump NE to 4-8.

I'm probably going to go to the gym, then catch up on yard work. It will snow eventually right?
