  1. Past hour
  2. Maybe he was saving the real O-line and the playbook for OU. Ever thought of that?
  3. Its not going anywhere. WR route is short of sticks, and the DB is flat footed over him and Wingo gets 0 rub on the play. Both sticks routes are dead.
  4. Well played
  5. Gaza isn't the only genocide that the Trump regime is contributing to. https://apnews.com/article/myanmar-usaid-thailand-trump-rubio-aid-7f6919a1863ceea2ddf6708e47bb88f0 MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) — Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family’s food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food. On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher’s little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: “No one has died” because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: “No children are dying on my watch.” That, Taher says, “is a lie.” “I lost my son because of the funding cuts,” he says. “And it is not only me — many more children in other camps have also died helplessly from hunger, malnutrition and no medical treatment.” Taher’s grief is echoed in families across conflict-ravaged Myanmar, where the United Nations estimates 40% of the population needs humanitarian assistance and which once counted the U.S. as its largest humanitarian donor. Now, in Asia, it has become the epicenter of the suffering unleashed upon the world’s most vulnerable by President Donald Trump’s dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development. And like Taher’s son, Mohammed Hashim, it is Myanmar’s children who have borne the brunt of the fallout. A study published in The Lancet journal in June said the U.S. funding cuts could result in more than 14 million deaths, including more than 4.5 million children under age 5, by 2030. Taher is one of 145,000 people forced to live inside squalid, prison-like camps in the state of Rakhine by the ruling military. Most, like Taher, are members of Myanmar’s persecuted Rohingya minority, which was attacked by the military in 2017 in what the U.S. declared a genocide. After their food rations evaporated, Taher’s family meals shrank from three a day to one. Taher, his wife and his five children grew so weak, there were days they could not walk. Little Hashim faded. The clever, caring toddler, who loved playing football and whose cheerful chirps of “Mama” and “Baba” once filled their shelter, could barely move. Anguished by his son’s sobs, Taher tried to find help. But with soldiers banning residents from leaving the camp to find food, and with no money for a doctor, there was nothing Taher could do. On May 7, Taher and his wife watched their baby take his final breath. Their other children began to scream. Neighbor Mohammed Foyas, who visited the family after Hashim died and was present for his burial, confirmed the details to The Associated Press. Asked who is to blame for the loss of his son, Taher is direct: the United States. “In the camps, we survive only on rations,” he says. “Without rations, we have nothing — no food, no medicine, no chance to live.” [This is a long read.]
  6. Add that to our offensive line woes and a WR corps that isn’t intimidating and it’s no wonder Arch is struggling. A big component of Sark’s scheme is having a stud a RB to essentially be a bell cow. We don’t have that. Despite Sark changing up the whole philosophy to practice this year (his decision) which made it even harder to assess any problems until we were actually in games you can say Arch’s play is part of the problem but blaming him for all the woes is just an easy scapegoat. It’s Sark. He is the HC and defacto OC. All this shit is under him. Pretending it’s not is just choosing to be in denial. There are essentially 20 teams worse than us in all of FBS in the running game.
  7. Don't think that this is the right thread, but not sure how much longer I can hold out putting a good chunk into GLD.
  8. Fewer. And more importantly, there's a big football game on Saturday, amirite?

    Burgers

    There was one near the Arboretum, too. Decent fries, I don't remember anything else being remarkable. The owner was apparently the same guy who owned Mezzaluna, Bitter End and now Grove Wine Bar(s).
  10. I got an idea. Why don't people ignore social media posts which are devoid of factual information like concern venues, game start times, happy hours?
  11. Is this a… what year is this? Aren’t we ten years into this madness? That’s a long time to continue failing successfully.
  12. Wordle 1,572 3/6* ⬛⬛🟨⬛⬛ ⬛🟨🟩🟩⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  13. You may want to brush up on how sloppy, aimless, and dumb early Nazis were. It took a bit to get the wheels churning, after "normies" just accepted that this was the new normal now, and competent people, looking out for self-preservation, were absorbed into key positions. I tend to avoid the Nazi comparisons, but, holy shit, the parallels are there. If there was anything resembling an actual opposition or any heinous act that could drop administration approval comfortably below 40%, we'd be more optimistic.

    This looks pretty good. Based on a true story with many people in the cast that were there when it happened.
  15. Tony Hills just went OFF on Coffee and Football this morning. Got damn. Get that man in the locker room for a pep talk.
  16. The de facto White House Chief of Staff is not a nobody. Jesus christ.
  17. Again, you are either being willfully obtuse, or are just not even reading what I am saying. Imagine you are the QB. You motioned your receiver to the left and a man went with him. So now you know it's Cover 2 with man underneath or as us olds call it "man 2". As soon as you get that information in your head you should be working the pick play on the boundary. Why? Because the safety to that side is insignificant as he is too deep, and the pick play you have on is specifically designed to beat this EXACT coverage. That's how you play football. You don't "scan sideline to sideline". Sark put the motion in there to force them to declare man or zone so then his quarterback knows where his best chance of success is. Quit trying to make it like I'm doing something nefarious here. It's basic football. If he hits dude on the break, he only has to get two or 3 yards to get to the sticks with his man 5 yards off him. You take that chance. And I said a quarterback SHOULD expect pressure on 3rd and 9. I didn't say they brought a blitz. I will go back and find this same play in another game where the O-line holds up if it makes you feel better. Then when he doesn't see it there either what will you say?
  18. This is what I don’t understand. Arch was all fired up all the time last year. The team loved it, responded to it. This season? It’s like he’s on freaking adderall and horse tranquilizers. After a score earlier in the year, Baxter (I think) came over and tried to fire him up, and he just kinda walked away.
  19. I wish I had your confidence man. I don't see 75 million people having the light go on and coming back to reality, but maybe that's just me.
  20. The worst thing she's ever done is make me agree with Ro Khanna.
  21. You seem to think the recognizability of a chief presidential advisor and strategist is the key factor when he announces the president of the US has absolute power. The importance of a news story is founded neither in that factor nor if the readership are ignorant sybarites who don't care. The magnitude of declaring a republic essentially dead or one big step closer to having the plug pulled is not just a huge story for the news, it's historic. It's the biggest story our news outlets would ever cover if they embraced the big picture. They don't, generally. It's the same ol' segmented approach using the templates. On the day the President of the United States assembled all of the nation's flag officers to announce they'd be invading US cities for political reasons, I was listening to NPR All Things Considered. They had a solid interview with a congresswoman veteran. They reported a part of the content of the speeches. Then, because it's their template, the time for that segment ran out. Their next story was about a science breakthrough. Okay, thanks for that explanation of the world catching fire, in our next segment we talk about Halloween (scary music in back, hosts fake laugh) and so it goes. They have little editorial understanding of their jobs. They're all putting on a show. And, always, pander to your audience and block them from seeing anything too terribly disturbing. You might block them from becoming Treymfiant! The second biggest story? The American people tamely bow to tyranny.
  22. RPM Italian was very good the last time we were there. The architectural boat tour was very interesting.
  23. Saw clip of Cancun kissing her ass saying how safe America is now( never mind the NG being all across the country for faux riots), and such. She ain’t fucking you, Ted.
