Crazy how far the pendulum has swung in terms of teams favouring established vets over keeping draft picks. Unless your name is Tom Telesco and your team is ridiculously injured in a 'win now' window, in which case you just hang on to your day two and three picks so you can waste them on complete garbage that never sees the field

Puberty blockers have been prescribed to Dysphoric children for years, usually when there's a period of time where doctors are uncertain if surgery is the correct course of action, but that's been jumped on by the 'lefties transing our kids' brigade and deliberately mangled into something it isn't.

More hilarious NFL DB 'tackling'. Every single week there's some moron tries to bearhug a RB

Carrying that like a loaf of pan bread

That's a horrendous bite on the double move by Lockett. You never, ever jump the inside when the WR jogs the first 5 yards.

Right side of the defence posted missing

Dee have gone to shit since the goal. Robinson was holding the ball up well but since he's gone off there's no focal point or outlet up front and they haven't been able to push the play up the park the way they were earlier. Grim stuff the last 15 mins. We have nothing in the centre of the park, and Sweeney has had a couple of real heart-attack moments near his own box. Cameron the only Dundee player who has looked remotely threatening.

When it was the old 5 team divisions you only played four opponents in your cross-conference games every year, so it was theoretically possible to never encounter an opponent. Chargers didn't play the Redskins between '89 and '98, and didn't see the Lions between '84 and '96 The fact there was one 4 team division meant that you saw really odd schedules from time to time. I remember one year in the mid 90's the Redskins and Bucs played each other both home and away in the same season despite being in different NFC divisions. I'd imagine that came about because one of them played the 4 team AFC Central but only had 3 cross-conference games due to playing in a 5 team division themselves, and the other played the 4 team NFC West. There were no doubt other quirks, but that's the one that sticks in my mind.

He had plenty recent experience of the building trade.

Meh. The annual autumn weekend each year where there is no NFL football. Suppose I could always suggest to the girlfriend that we watch a movie or something.

Well that's complete pish. Swedish CMO was on Radio Scotland in April 2020 telling the UK lockdowns were pointless, and he was far from the only 'expert' saying so at the time.

It's a bit odd juxtaposed against the AFC where there are pretty much 7 playoff worthy teams and a load of guff aside from that. Chargers might still push the Dolphins or North runner-up close for a WC but I can't see it because they look every bit a .500 team at best again. NFC is more of a story of two or three outstanding records then a whole sea of much of a muchness mediocrity behind them.

I don't think there's any doubt the conservatorship was exploiting her estate and earnings, but from what I can tell it wasn't the father doing it, rather he really had no idea how to manage her affairs, so he'd appointed other people to do that and they'd sub-contracted others, so the whole thing had become a ridiculous gravy-train/scam with folk taking hundreds of thousands of dollars in retainers for doing absolutely nothing. There was never any doubt about the lassie being unwell enough that she needed some form of guardianship, but it's also true that the conservatorship as it was needed binned. She even said herself that she wasn't against the idea itself, merely the fact that the measures in place were being handled in a completely inappropriate manner. I also think it's highly likely this new husband is the real culprit behind what's going on with her right now, and the cynic in me thinks he's just biding her time until she has another colossal mental health event and he can screw her in the court for a life-long income. That's pretty much what the father of her children did, and he's now shitting the bed because her kids are on the verge of becoming legal adults and she will no longer have to pay him a fortune in maintenance. Federline and his partner haven't worked a day in their lives since he took custody of the kids. Just another way she's been ruthlessly exploited by grifting shitebags.

Not really. Forward Air Control in his first tour, which usually sees you fairly close to the shenanigans, then he was a co-pilot and pilot of Apaches in his second tour.

Fucking joke. Home Secretary resigns conceding they had made their own position untenable, then less than a week later they are reappointed to the same position. GG Sunak, utterly destroyed what little credibility you had to begin with in one fell swoop.

My favourite moment of that entire debacle was the guy tweeting a response to Aldi's official tweet of 'everyone at Aldi is sadden/expresses condolences' etc etc He tweeted them directly with something along the lines of 'What a load of shite. I just asked Janosz on the checkout in your Musselburgh branch and he says he couldn't give a f**k'.

This was always going to be the problem if the Tories didn't go for the nuclear self-destruct button and bring back Boris. Any PM who genuinely wants to pull the party back together and give a pretence of stable government was going to have to include the far-right lunatics in that, so cabinet positions for worstcunts like Braverman and Badenoch are an inevitability. My hope is that it continues to lead to the sort of infighting and partisanship that has characterised the last 6 years of Tory governance, and that renders it doubly difficult for them to cement any real resurgence in popularity. Pity it means two more years of shit awful policy making and harmful government that everyone has to suffer through, but if that's what it takes to bin these fucking criminals for a while then so be it. The worst of their policies can always be undone, though I'm increasingly concerned that the Labour party under Starmer would lack the gumption for fear of upsetting thick racists.

Partick Thistle.

Christ. Bit much shouting for him to be binned considering where you are in the table. I thought Dundee fans had unrealistic expectations.

The Tank Commander just casually ignoring the fact that in both the instances she cites there was no change in policy or direction since the previous incumbent won a GE, yet we've just seen Truss and Sunak rubbish each other publicly over the course of 6-7 weeks, Truss completely throw the baby out with the bathwater on fiscal and economic policy, the economy to tank as a result, and now quite possibly yet another total about face that won't repair any of the lingering damage done. Yeah, it's really the SNP and Labour who are the hypocrites here Ruth...

The whole Wilson thing is bizarre. I watched every snap of the Chargers game and can't recall him ever looking like he'd suffered an injury or any play where is was obvious he had done something. Hammy injuries aren't the sort of thing you can just play through without it being obvious you are hurt, so it's strange that there was no announcement of or evidence of him being hurt in that game, and a few hours later he's announced as having a Grade 2 partial tear, an injury than normally sees you escorted off the field and out for a month or so.

Fields is still bailing from the pocket far too readily, but he was better last night than last week, so if he continues to work on that he should continue to improve.

Pads clearly need to find at the very least a dependable 4th starter for the rotation. I'm not in any way suggesting BoMel killed the Pads with his decision making, but if I have one major criticism of him it's that all season long he showed a tendency to leave pitchers in for at least one batter too long. I get that you want to give guys a chance to dig themselves out of their own holes, and yes, you want as much as possible out of your starters and a persistently fresh BP if at all possible, but we got plenty out of our starters as it was and even then BoMel still insisted on leaving Clev and Manaea in games where they were miles off it, and leaving relievers in for 4 or 5 batters when they'd put the first three on base and couldn't get the ball over the plate. I don't blame him for giving Suarez some rope the other night because Suarez has been outstanding all year and earned that leeway, but it seemed that every second or third game there would be an inning that one of our pitchers was clearly struggling, and rather than pull them after 3 BoMel would leave them in for a 4th or 5th batter until they gave up the big hit. I think there's also a pitcher confidence issue created by doing that. Even if you pull the guy and his replacement gives up the hit/run, it's not charged to him so both guys feel like they're not really at fault, whereas leaving a struggling guy in to get donged, surrender the lead, and take the L really has to put them in a spot that takes a while to get over. And yes, sending Crismatt down was just odd, but I think the staff felt Martinez had taken that long relief role away from him when Crismatt had started to struggle a bit. Personally I thought we should have been looking at returning Martinez to the starting rotation in September when it was clear Manaea's arm had fallen off and Clev still wasn't showing any signs of getting back to anywhere close to what he used to be. I'd have far more confidence in Martinez taking a start and getting through 4 or 5, with Crismatt in the BP for long relief, than handing any game 4 start to the Clev we'd seen most of the year, or Manaea whose only decent start in the past two months came after he hadn't pitched in about 10 days. Anyway, one thing the postseason run has done is take a few more games off the Tatis counter. It's a big ask to expect him to pick up where he left off after more than a year without baseball and an epic bout of ringworm, but I'm hoping having him back available will add a bit of pop to the line-up that neither Bell or Drury have really managed to provide. Of the two I'd probably prefer we resigned Drury because I think he can be a bit more consistent than Bell at the plate, but then outside of this season his career has been really 'meh', and Bell does switch, so I could live with either. I think Kim has made SS his own spot now, so I see Tatis as nothing more than an occasional starter there when Kim needs a break, and given Profar may well walk we have an outfield spot up for grabs. I'd resign Myers, play him in RF or LF, Tatis in the other spot, Grisham in CF, and have Soto DH, because I genuinely think Soto is a total liability in the outfield, but the saving grace is the flexibility of Myers and Tatis means that everyone should be able to still get days off even with Soto DH'ing the majority of the time.

This is exactly the sort of thing that fucking infuriates me with the BBC's news reporting. Not for the first time, they've shown that they are comfortable declaring that a Russian politician is categorically lying and stating falsehoods, yet because of their bizarre idea about impartiality meaning they can not apply typical journalistic standards to UK politicians, even when Johnson or somebody lies their tits off, it's invariably framed as 'Johnson's opponents claim', or 'accusations of'. They can unequivocally state a Russian politician is lying when it's abundantly clear they are lying, so why can they not do the same with UK politicians? It's ridiculous.
