...let’s look!
I’m going off of memory and Draft Approximate Value from @pfref
Bust: To not be valuable enough to the franchise that drafted you. A player that was good that happened to get traded (Jalen Ramsey, Jamal Adams) are NOT busts imo.

What a fucking joke this country is. Meanwhile we are deporting 80 year old Mexican grandpas who sell ice cream.

GOP pollster finds Independents who have voted already are going D+37 (67-30%)
This is from @cygnal, a GOP pollster.
Among those who have already voted, 6% of Republicans have voted for the Democratic candidate, while 0% of Democrats have voted for the Republican candidate.
Among Independents, Democrats are winning by 37 points (67%-30%).
Almost all Republican crossover comes from voters who identify as “mostly Republican” rather than “strongly Republican.”

black philosopher George Yancey on how his white gay student reassured himself during a homophobic attack with “at least I’m not black.”
When nonblack people want to reassure themselves, they just remember they are not black. That does profound psychological work for them.

The idea that fascists are fleeing to the US to escape justice says a lot about where we are right now.

🚨 "MAKE NOISE IF YOU HATE N-WORDS!"
White players on a North Carolina high school boys soccer team were caught on video cheering a RACIAL SLUR on the team bus after losing to a rival school whose student body is Black and Hispanic and now their entire season has been CANCELED.
Thomasville, North Carolina
"Attention everybody!" a white player shouts at the front of the East Davidson High School bus after losing to Thomasville High. "Make noise if you hate N-words!"
White teens across the bus immediately erupt into loud cheers and laughter while two boys in the front seat fist-bump on camera.
Davidson County Schools canceled the rest of the team's season effective immediately.
Was canceling their season the right call?

Great defense for a trendy offensive concept (empty to iso WR at #3)

your queerness will never give u any insight as to what it is like to be black and it is very strange to see yt queer ppl on here act like it does…

Correct
Few things are more draining, personally or professionally, than talking to someone who lacks curiosity. Being interesting and being interested are two very different things. If you’re not asking questions, exploring ideas, or trying to understand others, you’re not conversing. You’re taking up space.

The pain. The failure. The agony. Finally cleansed in the fires of championship glory.
Congrats, Brewers. You earned this one.

The Brewers are the lowest-payroll-ranked World Series champion in 23 years (No. 19) and the second lowest in the last 35 years (Marlins, No. 25, 2003).

It’s time we stopped overlooking Jared Goff’s All-Pro level of play. I get it. Detroit’s defensive struggles early in the season overshadowed some of his production, but at this point, his play is impossible to ignore.
Goff has been exceptional attacking the middle of the field, using deep crossers to stress defenses and create explosive plays. His command of these concepts and ability to consistently deliver chunk plays have been a major part of Detroit’s offensive success.
Also, Penei Sewell strikes fear in any secondary! 😂😂

You can trade for all the draft picks you want but at some point you just have to retain good players rather than fun mystery boxes
My read on the Garrett Wilson situation: He has not asked for a trade and doesn’t plan on asking for a trade. He likes the Jets and wants to stay here.
But he wants to win more than anything — that’s what matters to him.
So, if you’re the #Jets and you want to prevent any possible issue down the road … win.

Building off this, if teams started throwing 80+ % of the time, defensive personnel and player archetypes would shift. Along with defensive playcalling.
And you’d see EPA for runs go up and passes go down.
Its much more complex than the raw numbers that exist.

FINAL: Brewers 4, Rays 1
For the first time, the Milwaukee Brewers are World Series champions. They did it for Milwaukee, they did it for Wisconsin, they did it for Ueck, they did it for themselves. This was 57 years in the making. And it was pure, beautiful, dominant baseball.
