I didn't expect you to address it and there is nothing to argue about. It holds true for every position drafted. That's a factual statement.
My point has nothing to do with Ty Simpson. It was the false premise on which you based your case.
I never mentioned Ty Simpson. I literally showed the WR group doesn’t hold up to your statement. While there are some top 5 QB busts, most of the top guys have come from the top ten picks. Top ten QBs of 2025: Matthew Stafford #1 overall pick Josh Allen #7 overall pick Dak Prescott 4th round pick 135th overall Drake Maye #3 overall draft pick Justin Herbert #6 overall pick Trevor Lawrence #1 overall pick Sam Darnold #3 overall pick Caleb Williams #1 overall pick Jared Goff #1 overall pick Joe Burrow #1 overall pick If you want to go through every position, we can do that, but what I stated was much more based on fact than what you did. The QB position is definitely an outlier.

And then you'll answer?
YES or NO? No I dont believe trumps BS. Do you ? yes or no? 1 or 2? Here, I'll help you out. This will allow you to not look like such a fool (at least not all the time). Maybe you can actually get to the bottom of your TDS and avoid spreading fairy tales that everyone knows are not true. You'll really have to give it a little effort though. One sure fire helper - quit getting your "news" from Whoopi Goldberg. I colored the ones below that definitely apply to you. I want you to know that there is genuine hope, and acceptance is the first step to personal healing. Unless you're actually just as dumb as a box of rocks, if that's the case, at your age, I really don't think I can help you. And always remember, it's one day at a time. There are even people that go so far as to derail conversations with far-fetched fantasies like "Trump's son is a coke head". First, is there any evidence of that? Second, could this be considered a form of sociopathy?The "Coke Head" AllegationsAs of March 2026, there is no credible or verified evidence that Donald Trump Jr. uses cocaine. Fact-Checking: Multiple viral videos—including ones from his father's second inauguration in January 2025 and a SpaceX launch in 2024—were falsely captioned by social media users to suggest he was using drugs in public. Fact-checkers like Snopes and news outlets such as ABC News confirmed these videos actually showed him leaning down to speak to others or were simply "impassioned" speeches. Response from Trump Jr.: He has addressed these rumors directly, stating that while he had a history of heavy drinking in his 20s (he quit entirely around 2002), he does not use illicit drugs and attributes his energetic demeanor to political passion rather than substance use. Psychology of Derailing ConversationsWhile "sociopathy" (clinically known as Antisocial Personality Disorder) is a specific diagnosis involving a pervasive pattern of disregarding the rights of others, the act of derailing conversations with far-fetched fantasies is more often linked to other psychological traits: Dark Tetrad Traits: Research from institutions like Harvard University has found that people who knowingly share false political information often score higher in "dark" personality traits, including Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy. These individuals may use shocking claims as a tool for "social signaling" or to gain a sense of power by controlling the narrative. Need for Chaos: Some users have a high psychological "need for chaos," meaning they feel a sense of satisfaction from disrupting social order or causing outrage, regardless of the truth. The Illusory Truth Effect: On a broader scale, many people repeat these claims because they have seen them so often that their brain mistakes familiarity for truth. This isn't necessarily "evil," but it is a cognitive shortcut that leads to the spread of misinformation.
Schizotypy and Paranoia: Some studies suggest a link between sharing false information and schizotypal traits, which include paranoia, suspicion, and disrupted thinking patterns that make a person more prone to believing and spreading conspiracy theories. In summary, while not everyone who derails a thread is a "sociopath," the behavior is frequently a mix of malicious intent to disrupt, a craving for social validation within a political tribe, and cognitive biases that make them blind to reality. You're welcome.

So today, along with the market taking a crap again and oil going up again, there was;
a man that went into Old Dominion University classroom and started shooting and killed their director of ROTC and wounded a couple others. His students subdued the man and killed him. Somebody heard the guy say allah akbar as he was beginning to shoot.
And a short time later, somebody drove a car down a sidewalk and into a synagogue/school in Michigan and drove down a hallway. the driver was shot and killed by security. The car caught fire and there was a fire in the school. The only injuries I saw was like a couple dozen police had to be treated for smoke.
And this morning SALEM, N.H. — Stryker, a medical technology company that serves millions worldwide, said it experienced a global network disruption caused by a cyberattack.
A pro-Iran hacking group is claiming responsibility, saying the attack was carried out in retaliation for ongoing airstrikes in the region.
"This is a critical infrastructure type of attack, you know, wipe computers, caused downtime, caused an outage, caused chaos in a critical infrastructure," said Gary Miliefsky, CEO of Cyber Defense Media Group.

Another day, another muslim trying to kill Jews on US soil. Thanks Joe. So far, it looks like he was a crappy shot, I hope that holds up.
I wonder how CNN will frame this? I'll help. Former National Guardsman's sunny day changes drastically when he reached Jewish University.
Honestly, there is no one else except you and and rarely a few others who reply in the political forum anymore that are center or republican. I think everyone else has realized that there is no point.... except to occasionally get a rise out of the crazy liberal logic.

Re: Browns sign G Zion Johnson

Thanks.
Our line was so damn slow last year. This was the first season I really watched the after-game All-22 breakdowns. It's really taught me quite a bit regarding the plays, seeing the mistakes (especially with all the rookies we had on O), and also how the team's plan was to attack said opponent. Burns does a great job of breaking down the plays and he really doesn't sugar coat it. He points out the good and the bad. Watching our previous line in real time was bad, watching them in the replays was worse.
I think he will be good. Most of the one on one's I saw, he will beat you to the position, he will hold his own. Plays very strong, out to hit people, especially on pulls. He's the athletic type, graded really high in the three cone drill, 20 yard shuttle, broad jump in his draft time.
What I saw was a guard that can hold his position, I don't see him as a road grader pushing DTs 5 yards down field. The one on ones, he held his position and sealed off well. I don't see him as being an issue at all. That is about the best answer I can give you with just some basic film study.
I know I really didn't answer your question directly besides maybe the couple sentences above. The biggest thing is who will be positioned on each side of him. We have quite a few months of offseason and training camp till we figure that out.
Either way, I think he’s a solid piece who should play above our expectations. I am excited about this pickup.

I think the Browns thought Njoku would have been extended by now but couldn't come to terms in 2025 when they visited him in Miami. Then Harold Fannin came along.
Either way, it's not an big issue.

What is your take on his power for short yardage blocking? Can he win at goal line & 4th and short. We were too slow too often and didn't seal off well regularly. He may need some chip help. I am encouraged about quick feet! Our OL had some absolute sleds. This sounds promising. Good post! Thanx.

That is ok with me.
The film breakdown (posted a few days ago) done by Jake Burns actually had me excited of what he can do.
He has some quickness and good feet.
A few things that drove me crazy watching our former line this past season that I posted in the post game threads:
- our guards (example: going left to right/right to left) and not sealing off the second level LBs. Our guards weren't quick enough - guards not being able to seal off DL when the G had to beat the DL to a spot while the DL had a shading advantage - picking up stunts, we had to be one of the worst teams in the league - guards pulling, it was rough to watch as they were too slow - watching our OL use their first punch, it gets knocked away by the DL and our OL can't recover
What I've seen from Johnson:
- quickness to get out in front when pulling - being able to seal off a DL, when the DL was lined up with an advantage - he uses his right arm as his main punch, I've seen plays of him having it knocked away and uses good form to keep the DL in front of him - He is a smaller G at 6'3. Some of the best DTs have bull rushed him (Dexter Lawrence/Chris Jones) and have knocked him up and off balance, however he did a great job of recovering his stance and slowing the defender and holding him in front of him - I didn't watch every game, but I didn't ever see him pushed back into the QB as I have seen Teller do those numerous times. - he was pretty good regarding stunts, however there were a couple breakdowns where he missed a few.
I think he has a lot of good things about him. He should be a big piece to our running game regarding pulling. He's in his prime years, so he has room to improve on things and hopefully having better lineman around him will also help. That Chargers line was so ugly to watch in the film

I see you didn't answer my question. Now lets remember, this isn't "your funeral". It isn't your biker buddy Bill's funeral. It's a solemn ceremony of the transfer of the bodies of troops killed in action. Soldiers in their dress blues and the families of those soldiers in attendance.
Would you wear a ball cap to the funeral of a troop killed in battle? I'm just curious. It seems you care more about acting like that's normal than admitting it's not. Yes I would. I wore one at my own mothers funeral. Like I said before y'all acting just like the old Church Folk that you complain about so much. What I am saying is that worrying about stupid crap like this is just that STUPID and a waste of time. It's a solemn ceremony of the transfer of the bodies of troops killed in action I agree and what anybody is wearing does not have any effect on that, just like sitting in church wearing a hat or jeans, or a t-shirt does not effect Church.
