Last time someone tried a terrorist attack in Scotland the guy on fire got kicked in the balls.

Think were fairly safe.


Also no one gives that much of a gently caress about Scotland.

Especially the English Government

America can learn a thing or two about how to deal with terrorists from the Scots. Starting a bunch of wars and blocking Muslims from entering the country is excessive. All it takes is a firm kick in the balls to straighten those guys out apparently.

Peter King got Chuck loving Todd to sub for him at MMQB.

quote:

The most die-hard Packers fans believe you can’t claim fanatic status unless you’ve been to the holiest of football sights (sorry, Canton). Honestly, I don’t blame them. If I were in their shoes, I might use that piece of information to lodge my own skeptical inquiry. But I swear, my Packers allegiance is real.

Don’t believe me? Just ask my good friend, Steve Hayes, the editor-in-chief of The Weekly Standard and a frequent FOX News analyst. Steve is also a part of the D.C. Packers mafia; of course, he came about his love for the Green and Gold the normal way—he was born and raised in the Land of Cheeseheads. I first met Steve, in 2000, when he was applying for a job at a publication I was running called, The Hotline. I noticed his Wisconsin roots on his résumé and, naturally, asked him if he was a Packers fan. He said he was, but I wanted to know if he was truly a diehard. I have a standard question for anyone around my age who claims to be a Packers fan: Who was Green Bay’s starting quarterback before Lynn Dickey? Well, Steve not only answered correctly, he noted that David Whitehurst also punted for the team. Steve got the job offer and he accepted. So thank you, David Whitehurst, for being just obscure enough to help me prove true Packer fandom and, more importantly, thanks for being the link to one of my better friendships in D.C.

Currently, I have a good excuse for not making it to many Packers games, either home or away. It’s called my day job. When you work weekends in the fall, and Sunday mornings especially, it can put a crimp into your football viewing habits, let alone your ability to attend games in person. But visiting the Frozen Tundra is at the very top of my bucket list. I’m just going to have to find the right Monday or Thursday night game to work into my schedule. That said, I have made pilgrimages to see the Packers in person quite a few times—the games have just always on the road.

Good thinking, Peter, make everyone miss you.

I know it's not going to happen, and if they tried they'd almost certainly lose in court, but I kinda want Oakland to seize ownership of the Raiders under Eminent Domain.

If I was president I would nationalize the NFL and put all the teams under the control of the municipalities of their cities. Chargers would go back to San Diego and the hardest part would be figuring out if the Jets or Giants stay in New York, the other one being owned by somewhere New Jersey. Profits would be split between public transit and universal healthcare.

Mostly I just like the idea of people voting for GM every 4 years.

the problem with this is that the best team in the lower league will then start the NFL season and play a 26 game season or something, thus being immediately relegated due to exhaustion

Just have the lower league be called "Ohio" and you don't even need relegation

Bring back the Canton Bulldogs and have OSU be the 4th team in the division. Boom, done.

Start the lower league right after playoffs and have a shorter season (8-10 games), they'll have a shorter break definitely, but still several months off before the start of Fall Football.

it would be immensely funny if the browns played 26 games a year in perpetuity, always getting bounced down at the end of the season, taking the playoffs off, and then getting promoted after the summer league, curtailing the OTAs they'd get because they'd be playing during that time, and winning the league and getting promoted

at the end of the day I think the two leagues would have to play at the same time if something like this ever occurred

Jon Bois' deranged fantasies are so well laced with human and banal conversation that reading his work sometimes feels like my own brain trying to talk to me in a dream. He's unlike anybody else but there is something so innately of the era in his work that I'm going to reread the Tim Tebow CFL Chronicles in 50 years to remember what the 2010s were like. What Football Will Look Like in the Future is simultaneously the most normal and most insane thing that I've read in years.

Also, if that podcast on old awful football games isn't actually a real thing, we need to make it.

Happy for now since the roster is set but afraid of the future but with a cautious eye to Denver and Baltimore to see if Maclin and Charles can still perform at a high level in which case gently caress off Dorsey.

Although having a GM who is younger than me is an uncomfortable feeling.
