    Wordle 867 3/6 🟩🟨🟨 🟩🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Thought I had a deuce. Would have been the first in a long time, but no. Getting a 4th letter and all those yellows blocking two spaces led me right to it.

    Deutscher Fußball - Fins v Chiefs

    The Germans sure wound up with two top shelf teams and a huge game for AFC playoff positioning. I'm not planning on changing my Sunday morning schedule as there are things that need doing and I already get enough grief for watching too much football on Sundays.

    War in Israel

    It's not just suicide bombers, Palestine also has some of the world's finest dentists.

    Posting pictures of a group of women and ranking them by appearance 5-2-3-4-1 It's fun and harmless, we all have different preferences and it leads to interesting discussions, but for some reason, Mike gets pissed off about this to the extend that shotsup got banned for doing so.

    Wordle 866 4/6 🟩🟨 🟨 🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Should have done better than 4 with this word.
  6. Agreed. He's good at Xs and Os but I think he's maxed out career-wise as an OC The finer details of HC and GM escape him. Questionable decision making together with losing snowballs into locker room discontent.
  7. This is just my opinion. Feel free to post your own or tell me how stupid my choices are. -------- 32) Green Bay Packers you have to see it to believe it. Every time I tune in, this team's first half is a toxic dumpster fire disaster beyond comprehension 31) Carolina Panthers 30) Chicago Bears 29) New England Patriots 28) Arizona Cardinals Only one win but it was a solid one and I respect how they hang tough with good teams 27) New York Giants Their record sucks and they've had some awful losses but their schedule has been brutal 26) Indianapolis Colts 25) Tennessee Titans 24) Las Vegas Raiders 23) Houston Texans 22) Denver Broncos (probably too high but not after what I just saw) 21) Minnesota Vikings (having lost Cousins, I don't know what to do with them. This looks good for now.) (these three NFC South teams make a big 18-20 clusterfock) 20) Tampa Bay Buccaneers 19) Atlanta Falcons 18) New Orleans Saints ----12-17 are fully capable of biting anybody in the ass at any time 17) Los Angeles Rams 16) Washington REDSKINS 15) Los Angeles Chargers *(Minnesota + Kirk Cousins would have gone here) 14) Pittsburgh Steelers 13) New York Jets 12) Cleveland Browns ----top eleven are the contenders--- 11) Buffalo Bills 10) Dallas Cowboys 9) San Francisco 49ers (I want to keep them top 5, but Cincinatti is clearly better than they are and after three losses, what can I do with them?) 8 ) Cincinatti Bengals 7) Detroit Lions 6) Miami Dolphins 5) Seattle Seahawks 4) Kansas City Chiefs 3) Jacksonville Jaguars 2) Philadelphia Eagles 1) Baltimore Ravens

    I know we were all in agony upon seeing the "What if straight people had a pride parade" thread get deleted.

    The Bestest Songs About Your City

    Great song. I rewrote the lyrics to this last year and posted them here somewhere to bring it from the 1960s into the 2020s.

    The Bestest Songs About Your City

    Kid Rock - All Summer Long [Official Music Video] - YouTube Sweet Home Alabama is one of the greatest songs of all time, unfortunately, it's about Alabama. Kid Rock tweaked it to adapt to Michigan so props. I don't mind riding Skynyrd's coattails with a knockoff.

    My 2023 NFL Power Rankings Week 9

    Had I done this after MNF, Lions would stay where they are and the Raiders would drop considering their entire organization got fired and everybody is interim something or other. Maybe all the way to the bottom.... 32. Sight unseen, whoever has the Raiders on the schedule the next 2-3 weeks can probably pencil in a W right now.

    RIP Bobby Knight

    RIP Bobby. Great coach.
  14. Maybe Michigan State will come calling. Mike Valenti has been all over Detroit sports talk radio, regularly pleading the case for MSU to hire Urban Meyer. This would make his head explode.
  15. A few things give me hope. First, going forward, they won't be able to use COVID as an excuse to prevent observers from observing. The second is that we're aware of what shenanigans they (allegedly) pulled last time and won't be surprised, we know what to look out for and prepare to counter them. The third, some states, sadly not Michigan, enacted laws to counteract the worst of the (alleged) violations.
  16. This is an ongoing concern but since the 2022 election came and went with election observers not being harassed and with exponentially fewer allegations of fraud, maybe seeing a presidential election conducted like that will allow things to settle.

    Question about the draft/being drafted..

    Fragile snowflakes in safe spaces with no civics or sense of history/ national pride who like to apologize for living on stolen land. 1/6 are outright soft, candy-ass alphabet people. Another large chunk are BLM/Hamas sympathizers and/or Marxist. So a lot of focking worthless youth running around. Even among the ones that have their heads on straight without a mental condition, there's a lot of obesity.

    Ukraine - Doomsday

    Hasn't everybody, liberal or no, turned their attention to Israel/Palestine while pushing Ukraine to the background? Ukraine/Russia is stuck in a boring stalemate, while Israel/Palestine is the exciting new bauble with regular new tactics and moving pieces.

    Question about the draft/being drafted..

    I don't rightly know what the 18 y/o males of 2023 would do but they seem soft, effeminate, anti-American, and don't inspire much confidence.

    War in Israel

    I was down with Code Pink during the Iraq war and the post-Osama death phase of the Afghanistan War mostly because the US had troops on the ground refereeing a bunch of idiots wanting to kill them and each other. Between Ukraine and Israel, without US troops on the ground, I've been mostly supportive of the Biden approach... he had a prime opportunity to get high marks for pulling out of Afghanistan too had it been conducted in such a totally focked up way.

    War in Israel

    Threading the needle requires the Palestinians to get pissed off about trannies recruiting their kids and voting Republican and for Jews to realize their leftoid allies would as see them dead and vote Republican too. I'm not sure how it all goes together, it's a work in progress, but I do hope that any decent and reasonable people in those communities, together with reasonable people across all communities will consider it. No doubt Democrats will continue to maintain their stranglehold over all the angry and obnoxious terrorist sympathizers and self-loathing Jews as per usual. Obviously, the Democrats also have cornered the market on the violent criminal advocates, trans activists, and Marxists under their umbrella as well. Quite the coalition they have.

    They don't often give us stuff this obscure. I can count on one had the number of times I've come across a word that I didn't know (2 or 3)
