Today I learned that the New England Patriots are number 1 in the NFL in success rate on plays with 10 or more yards to go on 2nd and 3rd down.

Read that again

Good thing Christians believe that all you have to do is say the magic words and every sin from your earthly life is just water under the bridge, otherwise this could get hairy

Once or twice a week, our 79-year-old president will candidly muse to anyone who’ll stick a mic in his face about whether he’s getting into heaven, and he also extrajudicially slaughters a dozen civilians in international waters

"We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil" is an all-timer. Thank you Mr President, we appreciate your insights.

@realDonaldTrump

I believe that China purposefully not buying our Soybeans, and causing difficulty for our Soybean Farmers, is an Economically Hostile Act. We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil, and other elements of Trade, as retribution. As an example, we can easily produce Cooking Oil ourselves, we don’t need to purchase it from China.

A lot of people don’t know this but one weird trick that really turns financial analysts on is when you tell us “that number doesn’t look right” and when we ask why, frown a little and say “it just does”

Titans must have shitty press box food or something cause is it just me or does every reporter feel completely comfortable saying “yep, the owner is the reason this team is a clown show, it’s clear as a bell and has been for a decade now”

Trump is no longer even pretending to have any kind of argument that his murdering of people in the Caribbean Sea has any kind of statutory validity. Just straight up declaring that he has quasi-unlimited power to execute people based on (nominal) suspicion.

Cannot emphasize enough that for this administration, hunting and killing human beings is just a fun lil’ way to pass the time, like you or I firing up Candy Crush

….I’m being a completely delusional homer if I’m thinking I would not make this trade because we have a good thing going and Drake and Kayshon’s mind-meld is getting stronger every week, right?

What do you think of this proposed A.J. Brown trade package?

CBS Sports is floating around potential trade packages for Eagles wideout A.J. Brown, and there is one mentioned for the Patriots: > Potential compensation: WR Kayshon Boutte, OLB K'Lavon Chaisson, 2...

Joking but also kind of not, most conservatives are Christians and they’re literally taught from birth that The World hates them and they’re Persecuted for their beliefs and they’re Under Attack and so on and so on.

Young me thought D’Angelo was just another pretty boy crooner in a section of the record store I never went to, until our drummer in college told us to sit our happy ass down and force-fed us the Montreaux Jazz Fest performance (I think?)

Man was a force

TreVeyon in particular looks like he’s just not playing as fast and decisive as he needs to, he’s either not trusting his instincts or for whatever reason he’s not seeing what’s in front of him with enough time to stick his foot in the ground and go

Goose @goosebass.bsky.social · 20h

This is one piece of the puzzle of why the Pats run game is stuck in the Molasses Swamp. Mondre and TreVeyon just aren’t getting what they should even when it’s blocked up

Meiselas: What do you say to people who say while Governor Mills has been a great governor, she’s 77 years old, and we need younger leadership?

Mills: It’s a fair point… But I don’t think I could live with myself if I didn’t do everything I can to reverse what’s going on in Washington

one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump

As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.

Last year even though both teams were ass Pats fans still showed out to the point where the stadium was at least 50/50. My section was a whole block of Peter Griffin sounding townies and we were just yelling and having the best time

Titans fired Mike Vrabel because he wasn't a great fit with Ran Carthon. Then they fired Carthon. Now they've fired the guy who replaced Vrabel. At some point, it's the hirer and not the hires.
