    2024 Rock Hall of Fame nominees

    Eh. The "rock and roll hall of fame" is anything BUT a "Rock 'n Roll" hall of fame. It's pretty much a joke at this point. So I really don't care. I was critiquing Rusty's analysis of Frampton vs. Sinead more than anything. If not for Prince no one would even know who the fock Sinead O'connor was.

    No one knows anything Sinead O'connor did other than "Nothing compares 2 u", which she didn't even write. Give me a focking break.

    Joe Biden - Diminished Faculties—👀

    The Boyo boys don't understand that the President has different rules than the Vice Pres. or Senators. In particular, Biden had classified docs from his time as a Senator which is about as big a violation as a government official can commit. The reasoning for not prosecuting Biden is very reminiscent of the reasoning used for not prosecuting Hitlery.

    Lamar Jackson wins 2nd MVP!

    No one is "favoring" a pure passer. There have been mobile QB's in the league forever. Steve Young and John Elway were elusive, mobile QB's long before this generation. The difference was they were excellent passers as well. We focus on their passing because for the most part that is what helped them win SB's. When we get a QB with the running ability of a Lamar Jackson and the passing ability of a John Elway that'll be something. But it hasn't happened yet. And, of course, as I noted above the more a QB runs the shorter their career will be and injury will be more common. That will always be the rub about QB's that choose to run a lot regardless of how capable they are at doing it.

    Lamar Jackson wins 2nd MVP!

    He's a constant threat to run. His ability to run is something the defense has to always account for. If he didn't have that ability, or wasn't as good at it, we wouldn't even know who he was. He'd probably be a backup somewhere.

    It is my opinion that QBs like Jackson are fools gold. They will win a lot of games, mostly in the regular season when they can play a lot of crap teams but will lose to the upper echelon teams when it matters because those teams will expose the QBs weaknesses.

    Lamar Jackson wins 2nd MVP!

    Their job is to score points and lead the offense. Whether they do it by passing or running doesn't really matter. However, the problem with QB's like Jackson/Vick is: 1) Running the ball leads to more injuries. Besides the fact that rules afford QB's special protections from getting hit/hurt, once they run they're treated like a RB. RB's take more abuse than any other position in football. Their careers are shorter as a result. So, you're shortening the career of your QB if they run as much as Lamar Jackson does and you risk them getting injured on every play they choose to run. For the most important and highest paid position on your offense this is not smart. Teams like BAL that choose to have a QB such as Lamar know this and expect to need a new QB much sooner. 2) Most running QB's are less accurate passers than non running QB's. The fact is Mahomes is a decent running QB but he doesn't NEED to run that much because of his passing ability. Also, learning how to navigate the pocket to extend plays to give yourself extra time to pass is important. Running QB's tend to run at the first sign of trouble in the pocket so they don't tend to develop this skill to a high level. 3) You can have multiple RB's on your roster so if one gets injured you just go to the next one. Rarely does a team have a backup QB that can be as effective as the starter. Teams just hope a backup QB can play a game or two and not tank their playoff prospects. Most teams believe that if their starter goes down for the season their chances of winning the SB go down the toilet.

    I'm not going to go look in to the stats you've posted to see if they're cherry picked or out of context. Here are their career and head to head stats: https://stathead.com/football/vs/lamar-jackson-vs-patrick-mahomes Both the above link and my own eyes tell me Mahomes is a lot better QB than Jackson. So do their accomplishments. Jackson is not someone I want to have to rely on to PASS the ball in a CRUCIAL situation, which is what is required at some point in the journey to winning a SB.

    Supreme Court hearing on Trump, Colorado

    So the lead attorney for CO told the SCOTUS yesterday that a state, based on polling, could choose to remove a candidate from the ballot 3 days before the election: But yeah, they have a valid case.

    Joe Biden - Diminished Faculties—👀

    These are questions of FACT. You can easily look at the report and Biden's press conference to confirm the claims. CNN is simply a conduit. Of course, you never actually research anything so I understand why you just believe everything your MSM overlords feed you. But for those of us so inclined, this fact check is easily verifiable.

    Boom! Disney getting canceled 🤣😅

    Look, Keira Knightley is hot. If she wants to do a porno that's fine by me. "Pirates of the CariLesbian" or something. But, and no offense to the lady geeks here, pirates were men. A leading lady pirate just isn't going to work for me.

    Kiera Knightly would be interesting since she was in the early movies. Still wouldn't make the movie watchable though.

    I'd have to see an official link. The last I heard they were talking to Depp about returning to that franchise.
