It all depends on who called who for the Jurgens trade. If the Ravens initiated its a value opportunity for the Birds with a player who no longer fits the scheme. If Eagles initiated then it could be a cash driven fire sale focusing on paying a young and coming defense.

Depends who called who. This seems like the Ravens overpaying out of desperation, and the Eagles recognizing value. Birds also free up payroll to pay young defenders, get to see if they have talent in Lampkin and Kendall, and maybe pass off damaged goods from a system not made for Cam.

Mike Schmidt retired on May 29. He cried and admitted he could't play to his personal standards anymore. Not the same as Lane, but still a gut punch for the city fanbase

Dude has previously documented mental health struggles and two ailing parents. If there's any take here, its that he probably agonized over this and will strugggle with it for a long time afterwards too. But you go on with your hot take bullshit. You'd think given your past you'd be better than this

Schmitt is protected by speech and debate while in session, but by suggesting Smith perjuried himself on this show after, is that possibly defamation?

I've Zaprudered this 25 times: 1) Its a tailgate, not a restaurant 2) There's cheese layered on the bun under the meat. 3) He's likely making steak on grill w/out cheese so he can serve it plain or w/ cheese 4) He's adding sauteed onions & peppers. Is it a great steak? Nah, but its a good effort

Was talking with several co-workers today, all of whom are now out on College Game Day for a variety of reasons. ESPN decision makers and the on camera "personalities" have made all of it forced, unpleasant, and unwatchable. Corso's departure took away the veil of likeability for all these folks.

Every time I try to care again about the Phils, they have a game or weekend like this that convinces me its just the same old thing a year later. It's insufferable and exhausting. To its extreme, its like believeing that flawed relative you love has somehow changed their ways, but they never do

Assuming they play the Cubs in the WC, that would mean the Birds play the Bears 9/28 followed by 3 straight days of Cubs/Phils. Potential for an awesome and/or disastrous week.

I will keep repeating this: Reopen the Yule Log pit in the ellipse, and auction off the opportunity to throw any and all gauche decorative items from the WH in to watch it burn. You will make thousands upon thousands of dollars and it will be a week long block party

I went to a stuffy NE school and had no college FB interest until I supported my wife's Buckeyes. That said, I have a Gamecock and a brand new Wahoo, and the excitement of rooting for an underdog story is what you want for whatever team you choose. Its the likely heartbreak that makes good fandom.

@minakimes.bsky.social Thoughts on Jordan Davis describing Willie Lampkin as a "bowling ball of knives"? How does one make a bowling ball out of knives? 🤔

The Yule log pit still presumably exists under the Oval. Toss all that shit in there, and auction off the chance to do the tossing for charity

No Dem or DSA is winning FL, military or not. This is your TV side talking content and not reality. But you'll have to be part of the feeding for sure, and presumably willingly. Might as well just be frank about it.

3 college kids & I file 4 different state forms each spring. Yes, they don't pay taxes bc their work study or side jobs don't meet the min income requirement for being taxed. All that means is they are in the same boat as every other low income person in each state. Should we take their vote too?

What should low income voters who don't pay taxes and don't own cars do? They should vote where they live, right? Most students are low income and a lot of them don't own cars, but now we are tying these adults to their parents income and residency? Sounds like a class action lawsuit filing to me.

Decidely the stupidest Navy movie this side of the original Top Gun. There'd be no push ups on the bus, no speech in the rain, & certain no roving gun parties armed to the hilt hunting the other in a ballstic missle bay. Its silly if you think about it, and if you know submariners, its nuts.

My favorite part of this is the moment Sophie Cunningham realized (or will soon) that she's in...it...now. And unlike Caitlin Clark, who was likely put here by others, Sophie made this choice conscientiously and willingly. Sophie's Choice, as one might say...

A DC's water use depends on the cooling system it employs. If its open loop (Cooling tower), then they certainly use about a golf course worth of water per day. But if its closed loop (air cooled), they aren't using much. I suppose those could cut back on the landscaping watering and toilets flushes
