I suspect his character will guide others as well, probably within this organization. He exemplifies "strong, tough, and accountable". We may not get to watch him on Sundays, but I think he'll be putting his stamp on young men in this organization for longer than most NFL careers last. Just a hunch.

Jeremiah is a man that I highly respect.
When he was in the draft I went ga ga over him as a player. When the Browns drafted him I flipped out.
He was one of the best college linebackers I have ever seen.
Over his time in Cleveland I had seen him interviewed a couple of times. I was so impressed with him as a human being.
He seemed like the type of person that you would like to have coffee with and chat about numerous topics.
Then his brother was tragically killed. They were described as extremely close brothers.
When his injury happened. I knew that kind of neck injury could be career ending.
As tragic as that was. I knew he was the type of person who had way more within than only football.
He has made good money and he will continue on his path for his steps alone.
I am confident no matter his journey that his character will guide him well.

To put my experience in plain text... This site has been bug-free and super-fast most of the time lately. Error screens are down probably 80% and refreshing back to normal after an error much, much quicker.
Thanks to all those behind the scenes for working through this headache. It's got to be a huge PIA when you have to act on hunches to try to solve third-party software problems. Not for me. It timed out at least five times today.

Just make all PI calls a 15 yard penalty and a first down, easy. Then every accurate pass over 25 yards would result in a mugging, that wouldn't be much fun. I'm in favor of a reviewable two-tier PI system. Spot foul or 10 yard penalty.

Pete Hegseth forces out Army's top officer and two other generals The defense secretary fired the Army chief of staff, Gen. Randy George, as well as the chief of chaplains and the commanding general of Army Transformation and Training Command. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ousted the Army chief of staff, Gen. Randy George, four U.S. military officials said. Chief Defense Department spokesperson Sean Parnell confirmed George’s departure in a statement Thursday on X, saying George, the Army's top officer, would be “retiring from his position as the 41st Chief of Staff of the Army effective immediately.” “The Department of War is grateful for General George’s decades of service to our nation. We wish him well in his retirement,” Parnell added. Hegseth has long eyed removing George, who took the chief post in September 2023. He has removed other senior officials he believes are associated with previous administrations. George was senior military assistant to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin during the Biden administration. Hegseth asked George to retire effective immediately. It is unclear who will serve as Army chief; Hegseth had recently pushed to install Gen. Christopher LaNeve as the vice chief of the Army, and two officials have said Hegseth made the move to prepare LaNeve to ultimately take over as chief. George's firing stemmed in part from Hegseth’s long-running grievance with the Army and its leadership and his troubled relationship with Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, two U.S. officials and a former official told NBC News. George and Driscoll had been allies, and George had been expected to serve until the end of summer 2027, the officials said. George’s departure comes as Trump is fighting a war in Iran, with no clear indication when the conflict will end. Trump delivered a prime-time address Wednesday that largely rehashed points he has made since the war began Feb. 28, saying that he expects it to end “shortly” but that there will be more strikes before then. CBS first reported the firing. According to three U.S. officials, Hegseth fired two other Army generals Thursday: the chief of chaplains, Maj. Gen. William Green, and the commanding general of Army Transformation and Training Command, David Hodne. Hegseth has fired numerous officials during Trump's second term. Last year he fired Air Force Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse, head of the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency, after an initial assessment by the agency in June indicated that U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities were less expansive than Trump had said. Before that, Hegseth fired Navy Vice Adm. Shoshana Chatfield, who was the U.S. military representative to NATO’s military committee. Parnell at the time cited “a loss of confidence in her ability to lead.” Hegseth's other firings included Joint Chiefs Chairman CQ Brown Jr.; Air Force Gen. Timothy Haugh, who headed the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command; the Navy’s top admiral, Lisa Franchetti; and the head of the Coast Guard, Adm. Linda Fagan. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/na...army-chief-staff-randy-george-rcna266491It's odd how Hegseth keeps talking about how much we have weakened Iran's military leadership but never talks about how he has weakened our own.

American fighter jet downed over Iran, 1 crew member rescued, U.S. officials say By Eleanor Watson, James LaPorta, Tucker Reals Updated on: April 3, 2026 / 12:18 PM EDT / CBS News Add CBS News on Google A U.S. F-15E fighter jet was downed over Iran Friday, and one crew member from the plane was later rescued by American forces, U.S. officials confirmed to CBS News. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/american-fighter-jet-f15e-downed-over-iran/The F-15E is flown by a two-member crew and a search and rescue effort is ongoing, sources said. Earlier Friday, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard claimed it shot down a U.S. fighter jet over the middle of the country. Photos and video were circulating on social media, shared by Iranian state news outlets, suggesting at least one U.S. C-130 aircraft and two Black Hawk helicopters were spotted flying low over central and southwest Iran in what was described as a possible effort to locate and recover the crew. CBS News reported earlier this week that the U.S. military had lost at least 16 MQ-9 Reaper drones over Iran since the war began, and three U.S. F-15 fighter jets were shot down over Kuwait in a "friendly fire incident" early in the conflict, but there were no casualties. The downing of the jet Friday comes after repeated assertions by President Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and military commanders of U.S. air superiority that largely deprived Iran of attack capabilities and air defenses during the war. "Now in our fifth week of the campaign, it is my operational assessment that we are making undeniable progress. We don't see their navy sailing. We don't see their aircraft flying, and their air and missile defense systems have largely been destroyed," CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper said Thursday.

"We're fighting wars. We can't take care of daycare. You got to let a state take care of daycare, and they should pay for it too. They should pay. They'll have to raise their taxes, but they should pay for it. And we could lower our taxes a little bit to them to make up," Trump said. "It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things. They can do it on a state basis. You can't do it on a federal. We have to take care of one thing: military protection. "I can't get a ballroom approved. It's pretty amazing, right?" Trump also said in the speech. "If I was a king, we'd be doing a lot more. I'm doing a lot, but I could be doing a lot more if I was a king." https://newrepublic.com/post/208535/white-house-accidentally-easter-lunch-trump-speech

US has destroyed only a third of Iran’s missiles, intelligence suggests Reuters report contradicts Trump’s claims that Tehran’s arsenal has been largely wiped out The US has only destroyed about a third of Iran’s missile and drone arsenal after a month of its war against Iran which aimed to degrade the country’s ballistic missile capabilities, according to a report by Reuters. About a third of Tehran’s missiles have been destroyed, and another third was likely to be damaged or buried in underground tunnels and bunkers, the report suggested. A similar assessment was made about the country’s drone arsenal. The report, based on five people familiar with US intelligence, suggests that while most of Iran’s missiles are immediately inaccessible, the country still has a sizeable stockpile. That contradicts Donald Trump’s statement on Thursday that Tehran had “very few rockets left” and statements from other US officials that the war has eliminated its ballistic missile capabilities. Iranian officials see its ballistic missile programme as a key deterrent, particularly given the vast military superiority of the US and Israel, which is within reach of its arsenal and views it as a direct threat. Iran has used ballistic missiles and drones to devastating effect over the last month, continuing to pound Israel and key energy and public infrastructure in the Gulf, and inflicting huge damage on the global economy. The US and Israel have said degrading Iran’s ballistic missile capacity is one of the chief aims of the war. IWashington has deployed thousands of more troops to the Middle East in recent days as the administration reportedly mulls a ground operation in Kharg island with the aim of reopening the strait of Hormuz. Trump said on Thursday: “The problem with the strait is this: Let’s say we do a great job. We say we got 99% [of their missiles]. 1% is unacceptable, because 1% is a missile going into the hull of a ship that cost a billion dollars.” Israel has made ballistic missile caches and launchers one of the primary targets of its aerial campaign in Iran. It says it has “neutralised” 335 or 70% of Tehran’s missile launchers. Iran has distributed its launchers across the country in an effort to evade Israeli detection and airstrikes. The number of launches has declined as Israel and the US continue to their bombing campaign, but missiles have still managed to hit Israel and the Gulf as interceptors also run out. Israel, the US and Gulf states have spent billions and expended critical interceptor stocks to block Iranian missile barrages. A US official, speaking anonymously, suggested that it would be impossible to assess Iran’s missile stockpile as much of it was stored underground. “I don’t know if we’ll ever have an accurate number,” they said. Iran fired 15 missiles and 11 drones at the United Arab Emirates on Thursday, according to the UAE defence ministry. The US defence secretary, Pete Hegseth, said the vast tunnel network created an extra challenge in destroying Iran’s missile stockpile, but said the US military would continue regardless. “We are hunting them down methodically, ruthlessly and overwhelmingly, like no other military in the world can do, and the results speak for themselves,” he said earlier this month. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...ran-missiles-intelligence-suggests-trump

Just my opinion, but I think just throwing the idea that you think it might be possible that it was deliberate is crazy and loses credibility for other things that you might then write. Just how I see it
And I should add, I couldn't have a lower opinion of Hegseth. I wouldn't trust him to babysit my kids for 5 minutes while I nipped to the store. We all have opinions,, I don't like to think it's possible, but then consider those in charge.... Well that falls under "flooding the zone with excrement" - making you in step with Steve Bannon in wanting to just muddy the waters and prevent rationale conversation. \ Yet you give no reasons that it's not possible..... It's possible that a UFO could transport you to their space ship and give you an anal probe too I guess.
