Many cases of suspicious heartattacks/heart-conditions in soccer the last 7-8 months…

It's peculiar that U.S. athletes aren't dropping like soccer players have been in Europe and South America. Some people have speculated that certain individuals and groups are being given saline injections instead of the experimental "vaccines," but I haven't seen any evidence yet, just speculation.

Tampa Bay is crushing the Eagles. My only complaint is that Gronkowski and Miller are not getting enough passes thrown their way. Hopefully they are saving them
for next weekend and on towards possibly another Super Bowl. I personally would rather see the Rams go in the NFC and the Bills in the AFC!

As much as the Eagles are struggling today, Alex Singleton is having a heck of a game. 9 tackles and 5 assists including a sack and 3 TFLs. Nobody else on that defense has more than 4 solo tackles at the moment.

Ryan Kerrigan is also playing well (2, 1, 1.5, 2). Together, the two of them combine for 2.5 of the team's 4 sacks and 5 of the team's 7 TFLs.

The fact that Singleton was actually benched for a significant part of the season may be the most ridiculous Caste outrage of the year, though there's always a lot of fierce competition in that department.

Gardner Minshew's carrer regular season passer rating is 93.9. Jalen Hurts is 84.7. I don't think Hurts rushing ability makes up the difference. Seems like, by the numbers, Minshew should have started today.

Even the Twitter DWFs are now calling for Minshew.

Probably would have had a better shot. Pretty egregious that Minshew is a backup, but backing up Hurts makes it that much more maddening:

Minshew 22 career starts- 41 TD, 12 Int, 63% comp, 5900 yards.

Hurts 19 career starts- 22 TD, 13 Int, 56% comp, 4200 yards. And if you want to add his rushing stats, fine, he’s still not close, and be sure to include his 18 career fumbles...

Good luck to Vander Esch and Schultz, but I’m going San Fran in this one.

Yes. Running quarterbacks come with increased risk of fumbles and injury. Minshew is the clear choice between the two.

Nick Sirianni is another caste buffoon and overall blockhead. Benching one of the best linebackers in the league, for no good reason other than pigmentation, is inexcusable. Now when I say he’s one of the best, it’s not just my opinion. PFF, who the DWFs revere as a holy grail of player analysis, graded him as their 4th best this season.

I wonder if there were any reporters in this “free” country who had the gumption to call him out over that? Ha, I’m sure they all agreed at the time.

Not an ounce of truth in these ‘inspire change’ commercials... it’s astonishing the unwillingness to take responsibility for oneself...

San Fran showed up ready to play on both sides of the ball. The first three playoff games this weekend have all turned out well from a CF perspective, but the 49ers taking down the Cowboys would be huge given all the expectations for Dallas this season.

DWFs have gotten pretty skilled at explaining away or ignoring any White players receiving high marks by PFF.

There's one commercial sponsored by the NFL where a Black kid whines that if he gets hired in his field he'll make $10,000 less than Whites. Really??? Any company anywhere in the country that tried such a policy would be put out of business in a heartbeat. Such blatant lies, that have become par for the course for a subverted society built on an edifice of lies resting on top of quicksand.

With the removal of the wonderlic test, it’s going to be hard to execute trick plays when they pack these rosters full of buffoons...

Apparently Kittle forgot how to run routes and catch passes. He and juice are doing a great job blocking and making their counterparts look great.

Yeah, it's a disturbing trend with Kittle that started a few games ago.

That’s the irony with all of these cries of ‘systemic racism’, the only discrimination that actually occurs is almost always in the favor of blacks (affirmative action, diversity quotas, lending benefits, tax breaks, welfare, and so on)...
Then look who they vote for: Biden- 50 years in government; Pelosi- 45 years in government; Nadler 40 years in government... they cry about the system, yet 90% of them dutifully re-elect the system every 2-4 years....

That’s an insane, insidious, and heinous commercial with not one scintilla of evidence to support the assertion. You can be assured that black kids have been brainwashed to believe the premise, and will carry a victim chip on their shoulder.

These asinine wage gap myths can be easily refuted. If a white worker earns $10,000 more than an equally qualified black worker in a given field, why don't all companies in that field only employ black workers so as to save money on salaries?

someone tell the NFL they could save some money using that strategy. Now scale that up to Goodell levels of savings.
