Just a big dumb animal trying to leave things better than I found them. Packers fan. In too many fantasy football leagues.

GB should quietly and under the radar give Brenton Cox some low-mid-range contract this offseason. Lock him up for a few years, my gut says it’ll be a steal in 18 months

This Jets Broncos game is abhorrent. Just awful.

Unrelated note, anyone want to come over for some chips and dip? You bring the chips, loads of dip here.

On an unrelated note, the most sacks by a Green Bay player in one game is 5 by Vonnie Holiday in 2002.

I mention this for no specific reason ahead of the game against Dallas on Sunday night.

This part. It’s easy to blow up boats several hundred miles away and justify it as fighting “terror”. Much harder to call drone strikes on the boarder and not call it war.

Brian Finucane @bcfinucane.bsky.social · 20d

One reason that the Trump administration started GWOT on narcos by blowing up boats in the Caribbean rather than drone strikes on cartels in Mexico is that some officials in the admin understand the potential fallout from such U.S. military action in Mexico, including for cooperation on migration.

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

One thing that has become really clear since yesterday is that we live in at least two different realities. Talking to a friend who only knew Charlie as a Christian motivational speaker because that's all that ever came across her feed. Showed me videos I've never seen before of him saying perfectly reasonable and empowering things.

I showed her videos she'd never seen before of his racism, misogyny, homophobia, advocating for violence against specific groups of people. She was horrified by his remarks about Pelosi's husband's attacker being bailed out and celebrated for his violent act. She was horrified by a number of things that he said, but she had never seen or heard them before, the same as I had never seen or heard the generalized clips of him sounding like a perfectly nice loving man and father.

Neither of us had a whole picture of this man. I mentioned he was a known white supremacist and she thought I was joking.

She talked about him giving a speech about finding your purpose and doing good in the world and I thought she was joking.

I saw why this friend was mourning the loss of a person she thought was a good person.
My friend, bless her, saw why I feel the way I do about him. We understood each other better. In spite of a multi-billion dollar internet machine specifically focused on keeping us apart. Because we talked to each other with the desire to listen and to learn rather than the desire to change someone else's mind or to be "right".

None of those motivational things he said change my opinion about him because they don't erase the negativity, the subtle calls for violence, the belittling and denigrating of other races religions genders etc. His negative and blaming comments about homeless people, the poor, and victims of domestic violence. His comments about rounding up people who didn't think like him and putting them in camps where their behavior could be corrected. That time he said empathy was a made-up word he didnt believe in. That other time he said the Civil Rights Act was a mistake. The time he said most people are afraid when they get on a plane and see that there's a black pilot. His anti-vaccination rhetoric and his active campaigning against people being allowed to wear masks for their own health. His open support of fascism and white supremacy. To me, all of those are fully unchristian sentiments. Those are undeniable and just one of them would be a deal-breaker for me. All of them together are a picture of a man who was polarizing,

enraged a lot of people and rightly so, but even with all of that I would never wish upon him or especially his children the end that he got.
Oh, and my friend had never heard, and God help me I don't know how she escaped the news, but she had never heard of the Minnesota legislators who were shot in June. The husband and wife and dog who were killed, one after throwing themselves over their child to protect the child. The other couple who somehow survived.

Politically motivated attacks specifically because they were democrats. She learned about those shootings that happened months ago because I showed her Charlie Kirk's comments about them. The kidnapping plot against a female Midwestern Democratic governor. The assassination attempt against Pennsylvania's democratic governor. All things Charlie had plenty to say about while supporting the Second Amendment and bashing the Democratic party. She didn't know about any of it because we're all living in two different worlds and none of us have the whole story.

I think I figured out the Tucker Kraft comp. (to me)

It's Jeremy Shockey. Kraft doesn't have the same explosiveness as Kittle but has the same MFer attitude as both. He's a heavy duty truck in the open field, the fast guys will catch him, but takes multiple to take him down. And he LOVES contact.

Also, people enjoying their things that are not like your things is not a threat to you. Don’t be a dickhead and let people enjoy what they like, it has zero impact on you.

If, say, the Packers make at least the divisional round each of the next two years, the two first-rounders will top out at a combined value of about the No. 5 overall pick on Rich Hill's value chart.

You trade that and Kenny Clark for Micah Parsons every time.

Jason B. Hirschhorn @byjbh.bsky.social · Aug 28

Trading away multiple first-round picks and Kenny Clark is significant, obviously. The new extension factors into this as well.

However, Micah Parsons is one of the few non-quarterbacks who merit such a compensation package. He immediately becomes the best player on the Packers.

Charlie @cmaliska.bsky.social · Aug 28

Exactly my thoughts. I'd bank on LVN sliding in next to Wyatt, but there's the potential you go Cox-Gary-LVN-Parsons at some point too just to really get after it.

Any way you cut it, I am STOKED to watch the defense this year.

The Cowboys are officially the Bengals of the NFC except they don't even have the one good pass rusher like the Bengals do.
