that's how Mamdani won, the Cuomo camp and the media who backed Cuomo kept trying to drag him down and make the NYC mayoral race about Israel, and he rejected that. It somewhat worked, a common refrain from voters was they wanted him to talk about it less, but he did end up cruising to victory

they are learning why TradFi exists and is useful in real time, and rejecting the lesson

he's been poor

if he played like this every week, we would be in this position with him

like, it does feel a little silly, but all of the players know that headbutting another player is always gonna be a red, player doesn't really have anything to blame but himself for that

as someone who has been historically a very big defender of Wirtz, but is probably out on him now, he'll have good games where this happens, and then the next week he physically looks really weak and can't make anything happen

if he can put together a string of performances like today, the narrative will start to shift, but the current narrative is 100% earned IMO

this would be fine, perhaps even good, if the US was able to manufacture replacements at this rate if needed, but they cannot

a lot has been said about the economic inefficiency of shooting an interceptor at a drone, but at some point, it's not even about money, in a prolonged conflict, the money stops mattering, and the spot on a manufacturing line to replace it matters much more, and iran is replacing shaheds at a much more sustainable rate than the us is replacing patriots

this is like how some people in job interviews are asking candidates to say bad things about Kim Jong-Un to prove they're not Korean

yes, American sporting culture is very different from European sporting culture

fans are less passionate, but also you can bring your kid to a game, sit next to a group of rival fans, and not have to worry about getting beaten up

some positives, some negatives

all of the traits that make you an elite CB would also make you an elite cornerback or shooting guard

it's unfair to put last week on Ben, especially when he actually did call a bad game against the Vikings (which he still should have won)

it’s a very complicated question, but the answer is “maybe?”

I would dispute that the defensive unit has nothing to do with the QB

the entire team is predicated on an offense that hunts for explosives while relying on a strong running game that can keep the chains moving and allow the offense to undergo long drives down the field; when those long drives don't materialize, the defense gets stuck on the field

seems harsh, but the head coach is quite busy during the game, hard to fault him for that

yeah, I can't imagine living the exact emotions of that game 7 but in reverse

you guys really do deserve getting to win the last game of the season

full homer, I think he is

Ben spent a week dancing around whether Bagent or Keenum was starting, only to pull some bullshit so Keenum technically started, and I'm supposed to believe Ben just came out and declared Bagent the starter early in the week?

that's the thing about modern mines, they stay on the bottom of the ocean, the minesweepers pass by, and they don't activate until the layer says so

I believe the US military sweeped the strait for mines, but they missed this one, and likely quite a few more, they'd have to de-mine for weeks in full range of IRGC weaponry to actually clear the strait

it's in the post, it's not a ceasefire, it's an energy ceasefire

Russia is going to be allowed to keep trying to conquer Ukraine, but Ukraine has to be restrained in their response

would have went hard if we scored more than 3 lousy points that day

well, it's a little harder than that

you do have to do that, you also have to fight the aldermen who are going to want their cut of every new development if you actually want housing to get built

that is a strong statement that is technically true, but anyone who spent any kind of meaningful amount of time in the West Bank would likely disagree

I mean, in the event the entire JCPOA had been honored and was about to expire, relations between the US and Iran would be completely different and a new deal would definitely be needed

some day soon, we will start seeing international friendlies played in America between two non-CONCACAF countries

Tom Cruise is Digger, that's all you need to know

white sox obviously

white sox over any team still in tbh

until someone builds a bigger cosmic ball
