Father of kids that somehow turned out great. History buff, Chargers fan and Padres fan (so comfortable with tragedy). Occasionally lifts heavy metal objects, heavy being a relative term. For work I do software, but old school desktop/DB type stuff.

Especially with the strong correlation between CTE and depression. I have nothing but respect for players that leave on their own terms.

Does it count as a full sack when it's against Trevor Penning?

Chargers defense is good and offense is mediocre does not seem like what my eyes have been reporting. Defense was good last week though.

I think in part because these LLMs are fantastic at hacking and we live in a world heavily dependent on the internet. If the creators cannot control them, what is going to happen when black hats set them off maliciously?

Had a job interview once where we gave one of those wonderlic tests. I left the room and said 'Ok, go ahead.' The test said wait until the proctor tells you to turn the page to begin, she followed directions. Came back fifteen minutes later and she had nothing. Hired her a day later.

Outside of McConkey, Chargers receivers are just not getting separation. Still a little mystified they let Keenan go...

That's excellent, so excited to see McDaniel's offense after watching Roman's. And I didn't watch to many Dolphin games, but it seemed like they left money on the table because Tua didn't have the arm to hit guys in stride on deep balls.

I think it's insightful and runs counter to the conventional wisdom. Pretty sure Herbert's bomb to QJ had pre snap motion.

Hard to believe I'm coming to his defense, but he was not a coward as his record in the Mexican American war showed. A better take, I think, is that he loved the Army of the Potomac so much he could not wield it effectively. He also deserves credit for building the army that Grant won with.

One of the reasons I really liked the pick was his time inside at tackle, it will be interesting to see how they use him.

Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
I agree when they are in the base defense, on obvious passing downs last season they would throw out three edges. If they do that again, I think Mack, Tuli and Mesidor might generate some heat.

Good discussion, higher on Chargers secondary and pass rush than you seem to be, but yes, the guards are worrisome. On the Herbert throw, it seemed like the play action coupled with Herbert selling deep right route creates the blown coverage and throwing that far hitting Q in stride was something

I'm in sort of middle ground where big companies that make critical software should have a reasonable grace period to patch critical zero days, then release to all.

Seahawks got a good one, he was sharp. I wondered if he was too small for big running backs, but he made some nice tackles.

And something of a pattern for big media in sports. If you look at coverage of Shanahan's accident, the 49ers owner arrest in a prostitution sting, or the Dodgers financial double dealing; big media seems to ignore, downplay or rationalize currently. Their revenue is too closely tied now.

This. Similar to why Linux has not taken over, or why companies don't run their own mail servers. And not just how many can, how many want to; if you make software, you just want to make software.

Would not mind seeing Spomer start at center for the Chargers and Slaughter taking Strange's spot at guard. Strange was so bad in the 49er game.

It's embarassing that the Padres front office has been so quiet on this.

The 'research assistant' aspect is so so useful. You used to have to wander through spaghetti code to figure out how things fit together. You can now just have Claude look at the repo and tell you what the logic flow is.

I'm optimistic on Chargers O'Leary, mostly because Tony Jefferson is such a fan. He said he learned as much from him as any coach he has had and he said that before O'Leary was made DC.

I mean as long as not too many folks are on base, that's ok; we have a couple guys hovering around a 7 ERA 👀

Really like this pick, especially his ability to rush on the inside as the Chargers like to put three edge guys in on passing downs. It kind of kills me when people (not you) talk about him being some wizened old guy at 25.

Finished @alanallport.bsky.social Advance Britannia. Lowered my view of Churchill to a degree. Thoughtful ethical takes on the Bengal famine, the impact of racism and the strategic bombing campaign. Together with Britain at Bay, my favorite history work since Gerhard Weinberg's World at Arms.

I feel seen, but not just talk routes in general, but debate the fastest route. I actually miss the old Thomas Brothers map, used to be able to look at it, see the route I wanted and keep it visually in my head to navigate.
