posted by BR1986FBOther than the fact that the Falcons just signed him, should Cousins really be surprised they did this? He's not exactly a spring chicken.
True, but I think if you're a veteran QB who has a history of being a starter who at least puts up numbers going to a new team, you probably want the team to address needs that will help you to have success in the first round. Not snag your potential replacement. If I'm Cousins, that kind of feels like, "You're good enough to tread water, but we're actually gonna work to build for this guy. Have fun!"

Video shows Panthers owner David Tepper entering a Charlotte area restaurant after he saw a sign out front that said “Let The Coach & GM Pick This Year” 😳

Tepper is the gift that keeps on giving. I mean, if he was the owner of a team I cheered for, I wouldn't think this, but as someone who DGAF about the Panthers, he's great. An incompetent dude who also is super thin-skinned and super proficient at self-humiliation due to how his thin skins causes him to lash out like a little bitch? HELL YEAH!!!
And after Dan Snyder got the boot, we need Tepper to take his place as the biggest little bitch owner in the sport. Hopefully he takes a page out of Snyder's book and snaps up major Carolina media outlets so he can dictate how his team is covered.

Aaron Rodgers/Jordan Love except Rodgers wasn't just signed a few months prior.
And Love was younger than 24. And the Packer GM wasn't stupid enough to "justify" the pick by saying that it's actually a good thing if he's on the bench for 4-5 years because that means they have an abundance of riches at the QB position.
Like, PROTIP dude...if your early first round draft pick is riding the pine 4-5 years in at the age of 29, odds are you'll be unemployed unless you have the magic combination that Minnesota didn't possess that magically turns Cousins from FANTASY NUMBERS, DOOD! into an actual consistent winner.
Because bitching about calls is a lot easier than saying, "This team is not built for legit success and after acting all upset that Denver was a bit celebratory over knocking us out last year and making 'We'll be back; get ready!' kinds of comments, we're not any better, they just ripped our hearts out by coming back from 20 down and we're going to get blitzed out of the playoffs by them again."

I remember Quinn Priester last year. Had good stuff, but fell behind in counts and then would groove a fastball down the middle and then watch it land somewhere out of the park.
NOTHING. HAS. CHANGED.

Respectfully disagree. He had Lee confused with Longstreet and the "my" "me" confusion with Pickets quote from the movie was from the Irish sergeant on the Union side.
Well, as this election cycle has repeatedly shown, really old people do get random shit confused all the time.

Lol, I read about that. The last couple days have been GREAT for our two prospective "leaders". Biden with that story and Trump with some bizarre Gettysburg story where Robert E. Lee was very against fighting uphill "me boys". Combine them into one person and you might have 60% of a working brain. Might.
Things are getting less ideal. Starting pitching is still good, but the offense is vanishing and the bullpen is starting to remind me of old Huddle NCF and how he always called Cleveland's bullpen the "blowpen". Think against the Mets, the first game went from 3-3 to 3-6 when they got involved, the second went from 1-0 to 1-3 and the third went from 1-2 to 1-9.
The second one was the most annoying. I get that Jared Jones is a rookie who will be in for a major innings increase as far as workload goes this year, so I understand that there will and should be limitations on how far he goes into games. But pulling a guy who pitched 5 shutout innings on only 59 pitches to me is going from erring on the side of caution to simply erring.

I prefer them on the side. Nothing against them, but I don't like how their flavor meshes with the actual sandwich.

Is this libertarian?
Probably more so than having a general vibe (as in: in general and not necessarily pertaining specifically to this topic) of "I want limited gubment...unless it's an issue I feel strongly about, in which case, GO GUBMENT GO!!!!!" But that is the issue. Seems that a large amount of limited gubment people tend to voice that opinion because people they don't agree with politically are in power and using that power to do legislation they don't personally agree with. When the ones they agree with are in power, things change and all that spending suddenly isn't so wasteful and that legislation suddenly becomes necessary.

Not sure if it's actually an unpopular one, but I do get annoyed by just how prolific random-ass remakes/reboots of established movies or TV shows have gotten. Almost to the point where it can feel at times that it's easier to get one of those approved than it would be to get an original idea through.
For example, the original Halloween was great. We didn't need two directors inferior in every way to John Carpenter to try their hand at re-doing it, with all sorts of extra exposition as to why Michael Myers acted like he did.

posted by jmogWhen life begins is a scientific issue not an individual subjective issue.
Seems to me that 2020 did a great job of illustrating that scientific issues can quickly become subjective issues when you have multiple scientific viewpoints on something, leading to people auto-gravitating towards whichever one mirrors their personal views on the matter. And when talking about something that is a hot-button issue for many people, it's a guarantee that will be the case.

I'd say this would be one of those site updates that always is projected to happen Wednesday, but since this be Wednesday, I guess I probably shouldn't hold my breath.

posted by sportchamppsI’m reading he wanted the Ohio State job
Bucks possibly dodged a bullet there. With Holtmann, they were able to pull off the "lose to a 14-15 seed in the first round" thing that's Calipari's specialty now. Ohio State would get a lot of buzz and a lot of pure talent one-and-done mercenaries and probably win a couple more games per year than Holtmann typically did, but I'd rather have a younger guy capable of adjusting/thriving with today's NIL and rampant transferring instead of an older guy whose recent results indicate he's becoming just another coach in that environment.

Two of three from the Orioles with both wins being walk offs and the one today apparently coming due to a two-run errors by Baltimore is something I'll definitely take!

Things will get interesting tonight. So far, they're 6-1 against two opponents who have combined for a 2-12 record at this point of the season. For their home opener, they have Baltimore, so that'll be a noticeable step up in competition.
