Horrifying: Arizona Democratic congressional candidate Bernadette Greene-Placentia was raped by a man after he knocked her out. Another man approached her to do the same. “She began swinging her foot at him. ‘Not even worth it,’ she heard the man say as he moved away.”

Sometimes I think about how mainstream sports talk is so conservative-coded and so anti-athlete that sports fans are conditioned to have a negative perception of them any time they do *anything* that isn't just them getting better at their sport. This is a prime example.

Wrote about Michael Bennet's heel turn against establishment Democrats www.jezebel.com/establishmen...
The jig is up in the Democratic Party. The base has shifted, and they don’t want the kind of capital-friendly and compromise-minded politics that made Bennet the apple of Barack Obama and other establishment Democrats’ eyes. People want fighters, not folders, as Brad Lander famously said. We can fight about socialism versus liberalism later on when we can afford the luxury of ideological debates, but for now, this is a crisis and we need serious people willing to call it one and propose the major reforms needed to pull this constitutional car out of the ditch.

one of the ways the media shows which side they prefer, is which politicians they quote uncharitably out-of-context and which they clean up for even when what they actually say and do is offensive (the Biden story ran on the front page less than a week before the 24 election)

Got mad about NFL media trying to sell Deshaun Watson's comeback narrative www.jezebel.com/sports-media...
This is disgusting. This is a group of people self-lobotomizing in front of your eyes, all while telling you the NFL is serious about courting a female fanbase. There is a serious female fanbase in the NFL, and they existed long before Taylor Swift got involved with a less problematic Chiefs tight end. I have an unhinged Denver Broncos brain thanks to my mother passing it down to me, and I cannot imagine asking her to sit through this babybrained bullshit from people who should theoretically know better, but have proven they are incapable of seeing sports through anything other than a handful of predetermined narratives their excessively smooth brains can glom on to.

What makes this extra enraging is the comeback narrative is fictional. He has gone from total dogshit to mostly dogshit. Watson has been mediocre at best, and anyone watching this offense can see how the Browns clearly don't trust him that much. www.jezebel.com/sports-media...
But let’s meet Kirk Herbstreit on his desired, lobotomized terms here, and take Al Michaels’ advice and pretend that the only story about Watson is on the football field and coming back from a torn Achilles in 2024 then sucking at football. What he’s done through four games is not that much more impressive than like, Jacoby Brissett’s season in Arizona so far, and the Browns haven’t beat anyone good. They have close victories over two NFC South basket cases, plus last night’s narrative-building win against Aaron Rodgers’ Steelers who are one big monument to the denial that defines midlife crises. Cleveland has been outscored, outgained, out-1st downed, and out-3rd down conversioned across their first four games. The Browns have played one serious football team so far, the Jacksonville Jaguars (what a strange sentence to write), they got boat raced 34-10, and the only reason it wasn’t worse was because the Jaguars took mercy upon them up 34-3 in the 3rd quarter. I hate to give any Steelers head coach credit, but Mike Tomlin is still right: the Browns is the Browns.Watson is currently 16th in QBR among qualified QB’s, 16th in passing success percentage, and 14th in adjusted yards gained per attempt. He is 22nd in expected points added per play. He is 8th in completion percentage, but going into last night, was 29th in completion percentage over expected; meaning he’s surviving off check-downs and short passes, and then his pass catchers are doing the rest of the work for him. Pull whatever number you want, he has been an average quarterback at best, but there is still one glaring issue he has had this year that the brainstems too afraid to say the words “sexual misconduct” are actively overlooking. Ball knowers know that sacks are a quarterback stat, unless you can find evidence that the offensive line is so riddled with holes that the quarterback is regularly running for their life. You can’t here. Cleveland’s offensive line is 7th in pass block win rate so far, according to ESPN.

Watson is 7th in the NFL in sacks percentage. This is a big part of why the Cleveland offense has run fewer plays and gained less yards than their opponents so far, and why they have had to win two games with mad last drive scrambles to score late. Watson still creates a lot of negative plays
