    *** Happy Football Day Week 12***

    Had a 5 game stretch with 8 ints against 5tds, QB rating in the low 60s. But yeah, I do agree he has looked the part otherwise and I’d be optimistic if I were a packers fan

    Oscar Pistorius

    CNN — Oscar Pistorius will be released on parole in January, prison authorities announced Friday, drawing criticism from Reeva Steenkamp’s mother, who said she did not believe the South African athlete had been rehabilitated since he murdered her daughter almost 11 years ago. Pistorius shot Steenkamp four times through the bathroom door of his house in 2013, denying that he killed her in a fit of anger and saying instead he had mistaken her for an intruder. He was originally sentenced to 13 years and five months imprisonment. June Steenkamp said she was concerned for the safety of other women once he was released on parole. … In the statement, Steenkamp said while she had forgiven Pistorius, she doesn’t believe his version of events. “At this time, I am not convinced that Oscar has been rehabilitated,” her statement said. “Rehabilitation requires someone to engage honestly with the full truth of his crime and the consequences thereof. Nobody can claim to have remorse if they are not able to engage fully with the truth.”

    Looked like crap at the start of the year. But yeah, he’s really turned it around in the last 4-5 games. Let’s see if defenses figure him out

    Tardcore republicans making more false claims, of course: Speaker Mike Johnson’s decision to publicly release thousands of hours of Capitol security footage from Jan. 6, 2021, has fueled a renewed effort by Republican lawmakers and far-right activists to rewrite the history of the attack that day and exonerate the pro-Trump rioters who took part. Mr. Johnson’s move last week to make the footage available — something the far right has long demanded — came as he tried to allay the anger of hard-line Republican lawmakers for working with Democrats to keep the government funded. Now, some of the same people who were irate about that decision are using the Jan. 6 video to circulate an array of false claims and conspiracy theories about the largest attack on the Capitol in centuries. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, the hard-right Georgia Republican, was among the first lawmakers to post false information about the newly released videos. She claimed on the social media site X that surveillance video showed a rioter holding a law enforcement badge in his hand, suggesting that he was an undercover police officer “disguised as a Trump supporter” and the attack was an inside job. But the item in the man’s hand in the screen grab she circulated appears, upon closer inspection, to have been a vape pen. And the man who is seen in that image, Kevin Lyons, was in fact a heating-and-cooling technician — not a police officer — who was later convicted at a public trial of multiple federal charges and sentenced to more than four years in prison. Ms. Greene later edited her post to remove the false claim, but not before it had spread widely among Trump supporters. Senator Mike Lee, Republican of Utah, recirculated the same clip and false allegation that the man pictured had flashed a badge, adding that he looked forward to questioning Christopher S. Wray, the F.B.I. director, about the matter. “How many of these guys are feds?” he asked in a separate post that included video of a violent clash between rioters and the police. “Heads up,” former Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming, who was the top Republican on the special House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack, responded to Mr. Lee. “A nutball conspiracy theorist appears to be posting from your account.” https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/23/us/politics/mike-johnson-jan-6-video.html

    Why is there still a salary cap?

    Baseball was meant to be a leisurely game. Problem is we don’t have the time or the patience in this crazy modern world

    Trevor Lawrence isn't that good

    Way better than possibly the best QB in football right now? (Statistically, at least.) I doubt it. But he would be having a better year than he is, for sure

    Underlined part is definitely fair. I assume prosecutors and the courts have been making the same distinctions, particularly when it comes to sentencing Bolded is just absurd and completely undercuts your effort to play the reasonable man here

    Why is there still a salary cap?

    Maybe in part because 25 teams can’t afford to field an all star team?
