I got tired of seeing people post hateful comments about a man who was shot in the neck in front of his wife and kids with little to no actual knowledge about his beliefs. You are entitled to your opinion about his ideologies, and I don’t hate you for having them. -

Eddie George was the cover of the 2000/2001 Madden for PS2. I think he's correct (and that is a PS2 screengrab).

I wouldn't hold my breath for NYT. Between their storied history of toadying up to and downplaying the danger of fascism (insert 1924 Hilter headline), and trading away all their ethics for access ala Haberman, they have done the yeoman's work to get their messaging out and sanewash it to push the overton window ever further to the right. I don't think it's intentional on their part, but they sure do find it happening over and over and over again

"Ok, listen here son. We know you did it. All we need is for you to say is that you're a radical leftist who was desperately in love with your trans roomie. That bussy was just too tempting for you. So you shot Kirk to make your furry trans lover happy. K?" "But, but, but I'm a Groyper! I killed Kirk for a laugh and because he's a dirty Jew lov. . ." "No, no, no. Leftist. Trans. Boy pussy. Stick to the script. A heartfelt apology and remorse that you turned your back on your caring, MAGA, freedom loving family would also be a big help." "But that's not tru. . ." "And by the way, you're absolutely getting the death penalty immediately with no appeals or extended time on death row. Trump actually wants you shot as soon as you leave the court house. So, yeah. Here's a pen!" -
OTF Premium Tuesday - Adversity By Bobby Burton For those of you wanting obvious answers or quick fixes to the QB conundrum, Steve Sarkisian offered none yesterday. At his weekly press availability, Sark acknowledged the issues his QB is having but focused instead on the idea that Arch Manning will be better for it once he comes out on the other side. Of course, Texas fans are wondering when exactly we are going to see the other side. Wil it be in 2025? The offense has been so lackluster that lofty pre-season aspirations have already been reduced. I’ll admit, there is wisdom in what Sark said. Facing adversity, then overcoming it, it makes us all better. And maybe that’s what Manning is going through now. Yet here’s the issue Texas fans are grappling with: Not all quarterbacks overcome that adversity before eventually flourishing. Some just wither. Despite what Sark said, there’s no guarantee that adversity will make Arch Manning a better quarterback, or a quarterback that will eventually lead Texas to a college football playoff. Instead, Sark is making a projection into the future. The problem? A projection doesn’t win games in the here and now. ** One thing I feel comfortable with is this: Sark is the coach making these statements and these decisions. This is not his first time shepherding a talented young QB through early season woes. He knows better than us whether or not Manning will eventually come through the other side. ** For those wondering, I remain a big believer in the future of Arch Manning. I don’t think a QB looks tremendous one year and overwhelmed the next. Not without a level of talent that is hard to stop from eventually blossoming. The problem is, Manning’s development is behind what we all expected. Well behind. ** I’ve seen some comments about moving on to Matthew Caldwell at QB. I’ll agree that Caldwell might be a better immediate option if Manning continues to stumble. But I also want to be clear in this overall assessment: Texas isn’t going to win an SEC title if Caldwell has to start 6 conference games for the Longhorns. The Texas OL isn’t good enough for that, the other pieces of the offense aren’t either. It’s a reminder to us all that it’s not just the QB who is having issues on offense currently. While so much national focus is on Arch, the offense as a whole has not played well to date.

I must admit, his over the top and constant douchebaggery aside, he's got a really good story being a walkon and persevering in the NFL and blowing up. And his Dad screwing him makes me feel bad for the guy. My son pulled a McConaughey from 'Time to Kill' on me. "Dad, what if he was a Longhorn? You'd like his swagger and toughness then wouldn't you?" Damnit. I also tried really hard to dislike him. Then I read about him helping the food insecure in Ohio and making sure kids had enough to eat.

I’ve found this latest speech suppression taking advantage of Kirk’s death to be particularly chilling. I know it’s a continuation of what they had already been doing but their renewed fervor makes it more sinister. They’re attacking all the foundations of our democracy. I’ve had trouble containing my anger the last few days and am worried I’m going to go off on my gop Senate staffer neighbor. That wouldn’t be the worst thing cause fuck him and the work he’s a part of.

In fairness, this thread has been home to quite a bit of rampant speculation and conspiracy. It's just that it's coming from the FBI and journalistic entities that are really shitting the bed. This story has been a complete boondoggle from the jump, and I'm not holding my breath for the facts to get any more clear after today's presser

Charlie Kirk assassinated at an event in Utah (by a 22 YO groyper)

Selected this post, but there are so many others....I'm actually glad Enchubben is sharing his unvarnished thoughts, because it's a good glimpse into the mind of someone who is simultaneously clueless, and thinks they're a good person....who is also a vile racist. He described a made-up "DEI" boogeyman that doesn't exist. It's a straw man for the right to construct and then demonize, which gives them justification for their continued suspicion and resentment of all people who aren't white males (note that white males are literally the ONLY class that doesn't get the "I just can't trust that they weren't a 'DEI hire'" treatment). This is how deeply permeated the racism is. And how he just blows by straight-forward, unambiguous statements like him saying that black women just don't have the brain power. Or, in choosing to criticize the Cowboys, going to the race of their fanbase. What possible relevance could that have to anything or anyone? There are 100,000 reasons to hate the Cowboys and their fans (I can list them, as I share in most of them). But mentioning the race/ethnicity of their fans WOULDN'T EVEN FUCKING OCCUR TO ME, BECAUSE I'M NOT A FUCKING WHITE SUPREMACIST. It's the casualness, and ubiquity, of white supremacist ideology that's being revealed in this discussion. They don't argue that Charlie Kirk didn't say or think those things. They just move the goalposts, and say "racist things really aren't racist." It's not "racist" to think that black women are inferior...it's just true. It's not racist to say that foreigners should be whipped -- that's just a good idea. It's not racist to say that the phrenology of the skulls of negroes correlates to lower IQs, that's just science (see the road we're on? Everything old will become new again). Enchubben doesn't wear a robe and white hood. Enchubben surely thinks of himself as a good person, who doesn't mean any harm to anyone. Enchubben also holds deep-seated beliefs and opinions about how minorities are actually inferior, and likely get any role or achievement through "cheating" (that's what they think "DEI" is), and how minorities are just generally lower class (I mean, look at those little mexican Cowboys fans), etc. etc. etc. That doesn't make him racist, he's just calling it like it is. Guys in klan robes aren't the danger to America and humanity. Guys like Enchubben are. Because the guys in the klan robes are few, and so over-the-top that they are easy to combat. Guys like Enchubben are your neighbor. Your neighbor who, when seeing my last name on the pleadings of a court case, thinks "DEI hire," and that I am probably an inferior intellect. Maybe he's the judge in my case, and he automatically knocks my credibility down a peg because surely, I got where I got by taking a more qualified white man's position. If Enchubben is a banker, he thinks I am something more of a lending risk because again, while my job title LOOKS nice, I probably really don't deserve it, and I won't last long out there in the real world, where skill and talent make a difference. I'm glad that the Enchubbens of the world are so clueless about their racism and contempt for everyone who is not a white male that they state it openly and plainly. Being able to see the force bent on destroying our society right out there in the open is a helpful advantage for the rest of us. Now . . . to figure out what to do with it. Because the Enchubbens have ALSO made it plain that putting objective truth that runs contrary to their worldview right in front of them . . . does nothing. I keep coming back to "they're going to have to see what a shitshow their 'dream society' turns into when they have their way, and all non-white males are put back under the boot where they belong." -
My wife mentioned this morning that she is seeing smaller amounts of beef being packaged for sale by our grocery store (not HEB). As we are empty nesters this suits us just fine but a family of four would probably require two packages for a meal.
