There are really 2 important points of that timeframe that have led us to where we are at. Les Miles refusal to adapt offensively and Ed Orgeron just coasting after the natty. End of Miles era started a downward trend and O after fully correcting the course, set the ship on fire and crashed it totally by the time Kelly was hired.

Kelly has done ok to good (not great) so far building it back up but definitely has had some missteps, House and that defensive staff plus underestimating the NIL portal space for a quicker rebuild. Both seemed corrected at the moment, but the season hasn’t even started so we’ll see. This is going to be a big sink or swim type year for him. If he doesn’t make the playoffs this year, his seat becomes really uncomfortable (hot might not be the word due to buyout).

Who the hell sees this person and says “yeah, that’s the look of a principled person I want to represent me in our government”?

Only two other teams have gotten the no. 1 pick with similar odds as Dallas just did. No teams have had worse odds.

Chicago and Orlando. Now let’s look at all 3 situations surrounding all 3

Chicago- The Bulls were floundering in a big market, desperate for relevance after Jordan’s era. Rose, a local kid from Englewood, was a perfect fit—his MVP-level play (2011) revived Chicago’s buzz. A 1.7% chance is a 1-in-59 shot, and jumping 8 spots is nearly identical to Dallas’ 2025 leap. The narrative—hometown hero saves big market—screams NBA scriptwriting.

Orlando - Shaq, a promising charismatic superstar in the making in a small market, went 41-41 and end up with the no.1 pick so the NBA can pair him with “the next Magic Johnson” in Penny Hardaway. Ratings galore with those two

Dallas - some reason they trade Luka to Lakers and LeBron (NBAs golden franchise and golden child). Reports of other teams weren’t even aware Luka was available. Now they get the number one pick despite terrible odds and get to add yet another possible superstar ( tbd ).

There is no doubt in my mind this was planned.

You’re a lawyer, do better.

Doxxing ICE agents by distributing their personal information on flyers could be considered dangerous and intimidating, depending on the context and intent. If the act was meant to harass, threaten, or incite harm, it could violate U.S. laws like 18 U.S.C. § 2261A (stalking) or 18 U.S.C. § 875 (threats), potentially leading to charges. Courts would look at factors like the doxxer’s intent, the content of the flyers, and the impact on the agents (e.g., fear for safety). Even if the info was publicly sourced, the act of distributing it to intimidate could still cross legal lines. Prosecutors might argue it endangers agents by exposing them to targeted harassment or violence.

You can’t say clearly protected by the 1A when arguments can be made backed by actual laws. I know you like to play devils advocate here but at least be truthful.

Wow, this thread delivers. We got posters going from him being cut to posters saying he’ll be the starter.

I think he’s better than Gabriel but has baggage. I think Picket, Flacco and Watson are all better than him right now also, but Flacco isn’t there to start and Watson is hurt so we’ll see how pre season goes. If Sanders struggles and Gabriel doesn’t it will become interesting to see who gets cut. They can’t cut Watson but could cut Pickett. Flacco is backup insurance.

Tanking for Arch is asinine. 1 He might not be great - less than 100 passes thrown in college and no real competition when he played (Miss St was worse than bad last year). 2 If Arch is second coming like some people think, what’s to say he does come out knowing the Browns have the no 1 pick, his Uncle forced San Diego to not draft him so family has picked their team before. Point is, tanking for Arch is not a smart strategy and likely only fan theory (although Browns are dumb so who knows).

A big rhetorical misstep with the Israel-Palestine thing is found in the tribalistic notion that you have to take a side for one or the other

Not discounting the shite Israel has done in the past but to me I will not give them shite for this Hamas war. We’ve seen historically if Israel doesn’t retaliate or if they agree to ceasefire, Hamas will inevitably strike again after regaining numbers and arms. The only way to stop Hamas is to eradicate them. That’s the problem tho, as Hamas, much like most terrorist organizations, hide behind their own innocent people hoping that collateral damage will be enough to have the world condemn their attacker so they’ll stop. It’s their playbook. How do you propose they fight that?

Did Khalil participate in Oct 7?

The group he is a leader/part of at Columbia celebrated Oct 7th. They also had a mission to “eradicate western culture”. Those aren’t ideas we should fight for to stay in our country.

Screw that dude, trade him to Hamas for Edan Alexander, the American hostage Hamas still has. Khalil can go fight in person since he’s so passionate about it.

If its unfair, why are our businessmen still selling in those countries?

Because it’s the second largest economy in the world. If they were, say 100th, they might not but they can’t miss out on that market. Plus China is into everything, everywhere; you’re going to have to deal with them.
