Vikings adding Hargrave and Jon Allen to their DLine feels like they saw the chiefs get whooped by the Eagles front and though yeah that’s what we need to do too. I fully agree btw

DAN MOORE OVER 20!!!! WHAT?!?!?!?

Javon Kinlaw getting $45M is legitimately blowing my mind.

Javon Kinlaw contract might be worst I ever seen. 15 mil for a low-end rotational pass rush DT who was a bust on a 1yr/7mil contract last year. Jets comp pick stocks going up but again, NFL money is getting ridiculous

NFL money is so absurd right now. Big adjustment period of getting used to the contracts being handed out right now. 14 mil/12 guaranteed for Reddick after his year last year is disgusting

The Tate brothers being normalized in any capacity is extremely dangerous for the survival of American society as we know it

Thread: There is something very frustrating to me right now in American politics that I do not think gets discussed enough: For nearly every democratic rising star and top level politician, there is something about their identity that 'disqualifies' them from being considered 'electable'.

I’ve been thinking and this is an idea (that may be very silly) to save our country from the hands of Putin: Step 1: In the next 2 years, dems and patriotic independents and republicans need to launch an immense pressure campaign to get some congressional Rs to find their backbone. I know, hard.

Marco Rubio is a fucking coward.

By the way, in any normal democracy, Trump would be removed in a heartbeat for his betrayal of the United States

Trump and Vance represent the worst in America and humanity. That video of them berating Zelensky is so abysmal and disgusting. How far this nation has fell. They are both such nasty people who are mean. Just plain mean. I am so embarrassed to be an American for the first time in my life 🇺🇦

Both Israelis and Palestinians deserve safety, freedom, and dignity. That’s not hate speech. Opposing any part of this sentence is.

The ceremony Hamas and other Gazan terrorist organizations put on to celebrate their murder of Shiri, Ariel, Kfir, and Ohed is one of the lowest events I have ever seen or can think of. How truly despicable each person there is. What a painful day and a reminder every last hostage must come home now

Do you know how much trouble we're in when MITCH MCCONNELL is acting like the voice of reason in the GOP senate caucus? Real deep trouble is coming I cannot believe Tulsi was actually confirmed

Also Kendrick killed it. A giant middle finger to MAGA and Trump while he was in attendance. Not sure the best, but my favorite halftime show I have ever seen

Takeaway from the SB: Invest in the DLine. Interior pressure is so hard for QBs to deal with

Full thoughts on the Trump-Gaza plan (Thread): In short, while I fully support a US sponsored rebuilding of Gaza, any plan that involves the ethnic cleansing of 2+ million Gazans is morally bankrupt and a political nonstarter. Besides, the US will never "own" Gaza. That is all just talk.

I JUST WOKE UP TO LUKA DONCIC TRADED TO LAKERS?!?!?!?!?!! WHAT ARE THE MAVS DOING

This is not “Pro-Israel”. We should be working to rebuild Gaza to create a prosperous and future Palestinian state. Not ethnic cleansing. This is a win for Ben-Gvir and Smotrich and a loss for the US and Israel (and of course Palestinians) if this happens. There can be no just future in the Middle..

Not even joking abt this--before this post Ben was probably my favorite of the candidates. But Hochul who is hated by just about every New Yorker I know, endorsing him, and then praising her after, shows some serious lack of judgement and analysis. Making me rethink things. For reference im from NYC

Antonio Pierce to Pete Carroll might just be the biggest HC upgrade ever. From Day 1 Pete will instill a culture where winning is demanded and expected. He’s not the guy who will hang around for a decade plus at 73 yrs, but for the short term there is no one better at building a winning culture

AARON GLENN!!!!!!!! LETS GOOOOOOOO!!!!!

HOW DARE TRUMP EQUATE THE ISRAELI HOSTAGES TO JANUARY 6 RIOTERS. DISGUSTING!!!!

Only 1,386 days until Election Day 2028. We can do this...

I am staking my claim. Andrey Santos will grow to be a 100 million dollar player

Per Hamas, Romi Gonen will be freed today. I remember so vividly listening to the conversation between Romi and her mother on the phone while Romi was being kidnapped from the Nova Festival while I was at the Nova Exhibition in New York this past summer.

Also Yair Lapid agreeing to join Netanyahu’s coalition to save the hostage deal is a massive sacrifice and a beautiful example of someone willing to put country over politics. May Israel follow Lapid’s example and unite together to end this war and rid the nation of the stain of the far right. 🇮🇱

So beyond incredibly overwhelmed with emotions that there has been a hostage deal. There are no words. And Ben Gvir is resigning. Maybe Smotrich too. אם ישראל חי 🎗️💙🤍🎗️

Appointing rabid antisemite Mel Gibson to an “ambassadorship” is exactly what a friend of Jews would do! Trump must really love Jewish people!!

Pulling for Romeo Doubs rn. Such an underrated player. My fantasy team name was called The Romeo Doubs Fan Club for part of this season. 🙏
