Well, I am happy to give you some amusement My impression is that for many folks here the overall thinking is "JFC, this is a message board. We are ALLOWED to behave like idiots." And, that is certainly true. That is what I long ago gave up on the Tar Pit and rarely read here. My point...

Earlier in this thread there were some comments about better discussion topics. I really agree with that. I would say, for instance, that the endless posts and threads about whether BB is doing a good job are a waste of time. Most seem to be predicated on the assumption that the poster...

I think that there is a fascinating gap between how Bill B looks at football and how many of our internet fans think about the game Prior to this last game Bill had been saying - for weeks - that this team is improving and that he sees clear evidence of players (and coaches) getting better, He...

Well, I see continued progress with this team Our "fans" appear to be morons.

I really hate when internet fans believe they know more than professional coaches. OTOH, I sorta think I am smarter than the Mississippi State Heac Coach. Within easy FG range against Florida; with under 30 seconds to go; runs a pass play and the pass is intercepted. why??

I really wonder who are the voters who actually think this is a sound decision about Santos. Any WAGA folks want to weigh in?

Well, I see some progress. [It sucks when you fumble the opening kickoff, but I don't see how you blame the team or the HC for that]

Is there much history of OCs announcing plans of changing play-calling in advance of games?

Well, over many PCs Bill B has said some version of each of these things: In each play we have 11 guys involved, and various other variables. In watching the plays as they happen and then looking at the tape over and over again, it is possible to discern progress in the overall product, EVEN...

Well, I usually watch the Head Coach's press conferences, including the one that recently was placed on line, (And the Kelly PC.) This might be an unpopular position, but I have to assume that Bill B thinks that most of the press coverng his team are morons. They ask stupid questoins and...

If this is a thread about book recommendations .... I recently finished Geraldine Brooks' HORSE. Brooks is one of my favorite novelists. And HORSE was recently included among the books (temporarily) banned by the MAGA morons at the Dept of Defense to be excluded by the Naval Academy library...

Tin soldiers and Trump’s coming

Great win by the Indiana Fever, beats Atlanta 2-1 Anybody else following them?

Like many pretty reasonable folks out there, I struggle with how to weigh political evidence. That is, I wish to believe that I assess data with some care. On the other hand: I live in a state with almost no gun laws, and yet I own no guns. Why? Although I have seen slips, I have never seen...

With all due respect, the terms DEI, "woke," and Critical Race Theory are generally not understood by people of your ilk, The GOP has made great strides in redefining all three for foolish people.
