The rumored offer was substantial, and I’m glad the Eagles turned it down. At this point, the Patriots should go all in on Alec Pierce since he wouldn’t cost any draft picks and the Pats just need to make him a strong offer.

Obviously the Patriots organization knows best, but I felt Alex was a solid contributor, so I’m surprised to see him gone.

It’s remarkable that this war traces back years to when this administration dismantled a functioning peace agreement simply because it had been negotiated under Obama. The lives lost yesterday and today are, in part, the result of a president unwilling to accept the success of his predecessor.

Pete clearly doesn’t grasp the risks associated with AI. Reckless decisions like this could lead to powerful AI systems being released without proper safeguards or oversight.

This is part of an article showing NHL players political standings:

"The NHL’s splits are similar to the NBA’s, but with the roles reversed. Independents lead the way with 48.6%, and Republicans following closely behind (43.9%). Just 5.6% of NHL players are registered Democrats."

It’s amazing how silent the GOP is about the deficit right now. I don’t want to hear a single one of them lecture anyone about fiscal responsibility again.

America seems to keep proving, day after day, that it’s failing to live up to what it should be.

That was my first thought. The first one didn't turn out well so it is beyond me why they would repeat this mistake.

The photo-finish image of Nazgul the dog crossing the line at the women’s cross-country race is, without question, my favorite picture from the Winter Olympics. #olympics

I had the privilege of meeting him during my freshman year of college. I’ll always remember how kind and respectful he was, and it meant a great deal that he took the time to speak with me.

Damn that is going way back. Started following them during the Morgan/Hannah era. Great players but a lot of painful years to watch. Brady and BB made up for it though

That is a whole other rabbit hole.

Nope....they aren't. Have been keeping track for six months.

I lived for seven years in Europe and we didn't pay this much for FIFA games including the premier games especially in the nosebleeds. A price for the Haiti/Scotland game would have come under $300 American and that is where the real global market is. The American consumer is being ripped off.

It would be great to see a news network built by journalists who’ve walked away from the major media outlets. Reporters with real ethics, presenting stories backed by facts, and willing to speak the truth without fear of retaliation. Wish there was a GoFundMe for that.

Two average teams in a global competition and this is the cheapest out of all of the games. I attended both Patriot playoffs this year with two tickets each game for a total cost of $1000 for the games that had global interest. $1800 to get two tickets to two teams in nosebleeds is BS.

This is a Group C game, not a championship, and there isn’t even a star player on the field. I regularly attend New England Patriots/Revolution home games, so I’m very familiar with ticket pricing and what actually counts as β€œcheap.” Charging $882 for nosebleed seats to a Group C game is rip off.

Wow.

We were hoping to see Haiti vs. Scotland (Group C) at Gillette, but tickets are going for $882 each. I’m guessing that’s considered cheap for some people, even though these are nosebleed seats and this is one of the cheaper game. I’m not wealthy, so it definitely doesn’t feel cheap to me.

I like Douglas but feel that Chism could feel his role.

I'm thinking Diggs and Douglas will be gone.

Somehow we became the smartest species on Earth and immediately started fast-tracking our own extinction.

Don’t worry, Gallup will magically reappear once there’s a Democratic president. Guess polling is too scary for them at the moment.

This made me ugly cry 😭

I will never claim that he was perfect…every president in my lifetime has pissed me off for one reason or another.
But…dammit, I’m so tired of the constant feeling of uneasiness and uncertainty πŸ˜”

I guess technically New Jersey doesn't really have a team so they can cheer for whoever they want.πŸ€”

I was thinking the same thing. Screens and quick throws could have helped neutralize the pass rush, but they never really leaned into that. Instead, the game plan seemed limited to running up the middle and taking shots over twenty yards. Josh didn't seem to prepare for this defense.

I woke up this morning wondering what the Paul's thought about the halftime show is something that no one has ever said

So I guess his other option is cheer on the Jets but who would want to do that or cheer on the Giants which turns out to be connected to Epstein through Steve Tisch. If anything I appreciate what he does to feed the hungry in NJ so I have no issue who he cheers for.

Josh needs to open the game up in the second half. Nothing to lose at this point.
