I recently had to watch a Tim Tebow speech on human trafficking (don’t ask why) and it made me so irrationally angry. Here’s a guy funding paramilitary operations in Central America targeting trafficking who goes to the White House to hang out with Jeffrey Epstein’s best friend!

One of the bigger uncertainties of our time is what happens if all of the fanatics on the right wearing “K*ll all Pedophiles” shirts who’ve made human trafficking their whole identity can’t ignore that the entire Republican Party is a pedophile and sex offender protection operation

I think well connected people like Tebow are full of shit and know exactly what the deal is, but there’s a lot of really fanatical people invested in the story they’re being told about people preying on children who might one day figure out what the reality is and that’s a pretty big wildcard. IMO

Looking at the Eagles game last night and seeing the offensive gameplan has me even more annoyed about how they handled this offseason. I think it’s obvious that what they ran last night - quick passes, slants, working the middle - is what they want to do but that’s not what their QB wants to do

Which was the most obvious and predictable issue imaginable. 6 seasons in, don’t you know what works for your QB? Don’t you have a responsibility to maximize the strengths of the roster? Is running a watered down version of Matt LaFleur’s scheme really worth the headache you invited there?

And if the Mannion move was a hedge on moving on from Hurts - basically picking this style of offense as what you want and moving on from Jalen if he can’t run it - that’s an insane decision! Nick hasn’t earned that cache as an offensive mind.

In the last 3 weeks we’ve had the Eagles allow their franchise QB to play a game on little sleep where they knew he had a blood clot in his leg and then allow their star RB to keep coming back in to play when everytime he ran he was in obvious pain. I’m honestly pretty disgusted by that lack of care

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

I think Nick lost the team in London with how he managed that game and how the team managed that week. To blow the Rams game, trade Jurgens, lose Barkley, have the Hurts clot situation, the London trip and the team still fights for a win for the coach to blow it - that was probably it for the year

Jalen Carter makes too much money to do this. Riq Woolen is a mercenary who is allowed to go mercenary mode.

When things are definitely going well (via @ej-smith.bsky.social)

The president being a serial rapist is one of those things that should preempt any unwritten overwrought rules about perceived electoral interference

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

It turns out punishing coup plotters actually is an effective deterrent!

Eagles deliver the 8th-worst performance by any defense in a game this season (EPA/Drive). 4 TDs and 3 FGs on 9 possessions. Zero turnovers. Zero sacks. Zero QB hits. And they were only missing 2 starters: Nolan Smith and Michael Carter.

It certainly looks like with the exception of the young guys and the guys coming back from injury the rest of the team has sort of quit which wasn’t the case through London. The last couple of weeks. I don’t know

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

I wish I had gotten a picture of it, but I went to Wegmans for lunch and got what I thought was sashimi but was actually just a random 4 ounce block of raw tuna l unsliced. I felt like the Liver King eating at my desk. 

The President is a pedophile. The people who support him are happy a pedophile is president and for their kids to look up to a pedophile.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

It's well-documented that the president maintained a years-long friendship with the world's most notorious child sex trafficker. It might strike you as odd there aren't direct allegations of Trump engaging in child sex trafficking.. except there are. There are SO MANY. They just never get reported!

It is atrocious we have to operate under this constant credible and explicit threat from one political party, the fact we keep calling it a “free and fair election” needs some light revising

Andy Craig@andycraig.bsky.social

Yes. My median scenario is Trump rants, it becomes their talking point, DOJ probably files some more junk suits like these, but then not much else happens. There's real risk of worse, some full push to go insane on Jan 3, but more likely it doesn't get that far, and also that would still fail.

As we prepare for the most juiceless Eagles Cowboys game in modern history, one thing to keep in mind is that there’s no such thing as a lost season in the NFL. Even when there is little chance of positive outcomes in a given year, there’s a lot to learn from what happens on the field.

The NFL isn’t the NBA. There’s really no such thing as tanking. The last time the Eagles had a season like this, the results on the field led us to a new franchise QB taking over, highlighted the opportunity for a new offensive identity and solidified the need for a new coach

For this year at a minimum you have the next 11 games to sort out: Head coach Offensive coordinator and offensive identity 4/5 offensive line spots If there’s anything worth salvaging at WR beyond Smith Who to keep between Ojomo, Smith and Hunt Baun, Jiihad, Trotter LB triangle

Running in 35 degree weather in the dark at 5:30 AM on a Monday is stupid. What a stupid way to start a week. Dummy
