As somebody who works in politics: pandering to farmers and the agricultural community is literally a load bearing pillar of the electoral politicking. This will pass post election.
It’s all schtick. Whether it’s real at its core or put on, who fucking knows, but having a schtick as a coach is not unique to Deion. Jim Harbaugh has a schtick (perpetual Red Ass). Nick Saban has a schtick (ProCeSs). Mack Brown has a schtick (folksy nice guy). Mike Leach was both schtick and talent. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.
Here’s the thing about schtick: it’s all gravy when you are winning. But it can sour pretty quick.
Colorado will play an actual opponent next week and we will find out if this team is for real. It’s clear to me that Shadeur Sanders is talented AF, I’m just not sure where the rest of this squad is.
Yeah, the F15X is necessary as both a replacement bomb truck (the current Strike Eagles are worn out from the war on terror) and as a stand off ordnance carrier in coordination with the F35 in modern (read vs the Chinese) warfare.
I feel like the Marines rolled upgraded Cobras after the introduction of the Apache’s because they were cheap, effective, and commanders weren’t afraid to potentially lose them due to cost (which is still a problem with the Apache).
The MH6 has also provided decades of cheap, effective service.
I appreciate all of the actual hot takes, Bs takes, jokes, parodies, and just general muledick. For those of us who walked away from the team a decade ago to preserve our sanity, I appreciate you.
I do not want to wade into the football board and swim through that shit. Can I get a hot take on if the team is going to be good this year? No koolaid, plz.
As a reminder: this is cloakroom, so please be respectful on football related matters.
It’s just a suggestion on a message board. But I also think there needs to be a separate pool of money for the QBs so they don’t eat so much of the salary cap, and expanded rosters so they aren’t pulling guys off the street in weeks 12-17 to cover injuries.
I don’t think most people understand how much the cap drives almost every personal decision your team makes, and how it affects the quality of play.
My idea is that the players who get used up and thrown away after their rookie deals get 3 with a big year four instead of 4 with a big year five like everyone else. Most jags aren’t even seeing year 3 on their rookie deals rn. They are bouncing from practice squad to practice squad by then. The idea is that RBs can either catch a big franchise tag while they still have some miles on their legs or get a second contract.
Man, you guys missed a real obvious one. Kurt Cobain must have really hated his A&R guy. I’ll do the Sturgill Simpson cover because the lyrics pop a bit better:
Radio by Sylvan Esso does a hella job laying out the push to churn out hits.
Sure thing, pops.
Except it’s a movie, not a sporting event. Runtime can have a dramatic effect on the quality of the experience.
That also happens to be true of sports. I’ll sit through 4 hours of a Red Sox game. I will not sit through 4 hours of a Royals game.
