NOW you want to preach about "State Media"?

I guess the question should be why don't you think Berry can draft a franchise QB? He had an excellent draft last year and I understand why people may ask that question. I mean this franchise has a terrible record at drafting first round QB's. Sometimes that stands out above anything else in our minds.

But the fact of the matter is Berry has never drafted a QB in the first round. I have no idea if he can or not. And since he has never drafted a first round QB before there's really no evidence or track record to base whether he can or not.

I suppose people could use the watson deal as some sort of evidence if they choose to. But none of us really have any idea who the driving force was behind getting watson. It's true it may have been Berry. It's also true it may have been Haslam. If it was Haslam, Berry wasn't responsible for that. He would have simply been following his bosses orders. Since we have no idea how that all went down behind closed doors it's hard for me to place the blame for that on Berry. I'm just not one of those, "well he may have done that" kind of guys.

My question is ; what on earth makes you think THIS organization is CAPABLE of drafting a franchise QB ?

I agree with almost everything you said with one caveat'. All lottery tickets give you the same odds of winning or losing. First round QB's have a much high success rates than either 3rd or 5th round QB's do. So to that degree it is different.

Since the Browns came back into the NFL they have failed after many attempts to draft a franchise quarterback.

We have drafted Couch and Baker with the first pick. We drafted Quinn, Weeden, and Manziel, in the first round.

We have drafted Wynn, McCown, Frye, McCoy, Kessler, Kiser, DTR, Gabriel and Sanders after the first round.

We have traded for Pickett and signed Flacco.

We still have no solution at the most important position of the field.

Until we have provided a solution. We are IMO obligated to find an answer. In order to do that we should increase our odds by taking more chances.
Two lottery tickets are better than one.

Thanks for the link!

A lot of people think it's perfectly fine to treat other people like animals instead of people. They think it's fine to imprison, or in some cases even kill people without due process. Just one more way this country is going to hell.

Trump flew on Epstein's private jet 'MORE times than we knew'... along with pedophile and 20-year-old woman, new files reveal

A huge new trove of Epstein files have alleged that Donald Trump flew on the pedophile's private jet 'many more times than has been previously reported', including one journey with a 20-year-old woman.

Some 8,000 more documents including videos and photos related to the case of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have been released on the US Department of Justice's site (DOJ).

Among the documents is an email from a New York assistant US attorney, which states that Trump was listed as a passenger on eight flights between 1993 and 1996, including at least four where Epstein's co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell was also present.

Trump's presence in the Epstein files does not imply any wrongdoing. The president has not been accused of any malpractice concerning the disgraced financier.

The email says: 'For your situational awareness, wanted to let you know that the flight records we received yesterday reflect that Donald Trump travelled on Epstein’s private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware), including during the period we would expect to charge in a Maxwell case.'

It continues: 'On one flight in 1993, he and Epstein are the only two listed passengers; on another, the only three passengers are Epstein, Trump and then-20-year-old [redacted].'

The new release follows the more than 300,000 files which were released by the DOJ on Friday.

The department has been accused of withholding information and was criticised by Democrats over the slow release and heavy redaction of records from the investigation into Epstein.

It failed to meet its deadline for complying with a 'transparency' law requiring the broad release of remaining Epstein files, sparking widespread outrage among Democrats and Republicans.

Following the latest dump of evidence from Epstein's case files, the Department of Justice issued a statement downplaying the files that included Trump's name.

'Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election. To be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already,' the DOJ wrote on X.

'Nevertheless, out of our commitment to the law and transparency, the DOJ is releasing these documents with the legally required protections for Epstein’s victims.'

The new files include hundreds of videos and audio recordings, notably surveillance footage from August 2019, the month Epstein was found dead in his jail cell while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

The DOJ posted around 11,000 links to documents online, some of which direct viewers to pictures of Epstein's old United States passport.

It was issued in February 1985 and expired in 1995. Below his signature is a black and white passport photo of Epstein dressed in a suit and tie.

Congress nearly unanimously passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA), which mandated the complete release of the Epstein files by last Friday.

A group of victims earlier complained that only a 'fraction' of the files were released and even those were 'riddled with abnormal and extreme redactions with no explanation'.

EFTA co-sponsors Ro Khanna, a Democrat, and Thomas Massie, a Republican, threatened to bring contempt charges against Attorney General Pam Bondi for failing to comply with the law.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer introduced a resolution on Monday calling for legal action against the administration for failing to release the complete Epstein files.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche blamed the delay on the need to redact the identities of Epstein's more than 1,000 victims, and on Sunday denied allegations of protecting Trump, who was formerly a close friend of Epstein's.

Trump had initially tried to block the disclosure of the files.

But the president, who cut ties with Epstein years before his arrest and faces no accusations of wrongdoing, finally bowed to mounting pressure from Congress and signed the law compelling publication of the files.

Also featured in the documents are court transcripts, FBI and DOJ records, emails and news clippings.

Friday's disclosure represented only a fraction of the total data the FBI and Justice Department have said they possess related to Epstein and was heavily redacted, including several documents or 100 pages or more that were entirely blacked out.

Also notable was the dearth of references to Trump, who had a well-publicised friendship with Epstein in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Instead, the released files extensively featured former President Bill Clinton, a Democrat and political foe.

'The DOJ needs to quit protecting the rich, powerful, and politically connected,' Representative Massie, a maverick conservative Republican from Kentucky, said in a post on X.

Clinton spokesman Angel Urena issued a statement urging Attorney General Pam Bondi to immediately release any remaining materials in the Epstein case that refer to Clinton in any way, including photographs.

'Someone or something is being protected. We do not know whom, what or why. But we do know this,' Urena said, adding: 'We need no such protection.'

Urena said there is 'widespread suspicion' the Justice Department is 'using selective releases to imply wrongdoing about individuals who have already been repeatedly cleared by the very same Department of Justice'.

He did not detail who else harbored that suspicion.

A photograph of Trump flanked by women in bikinis was mysteriously removed without explanation from the Epstein Files, before being reinstated.

The photo showing a desk with an open drawer containing the image of Trump was flagged by the Southern District of New York for review to protect potential victims.

Following furious backlash, it was reinstated on Sunday morning after it was determined that ‘there is no evidence that any Epstein victims are depicted in the photograph’, a statement posted on X said.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said earlier on Sunday his office removed the photo because of concerns about women in the photo. 'It has nothing to do with President Trump,' Blanche said during a Sunday morning appearance on NBC’s 'Meet the Press with Kristen Welker'.

During an ABC News interview on Sunday, Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries called for a 'full and complete investigation as to why the document production has fallen short of what the law clearly required'.

The 300,000 pages of released files on Friday largely dealt with three police investigations into the convicted paedophile. First, a Palm Beach police inquiry from 2005.

Then a probe by federal prosecutors in Florida that ended with the financier's 2008 plea deal, in which he was handed a notably soft sentence.

And finally, the 2019 inquiry by Manhattan prosecutors that was cut short when Epstein died in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Centre in New York City.

There was a series of never-before-seen photos of former President Clinton, including images of him relaxing in what appears to be a hot tub and smiling at parties with women.

A spokesman for the former president commented on the new photos, saying they were decades old.

'They can release as many grainy 20-plus-year-old photos as they want, but this isn't about Bill Clinton. Never has, never will be,' Ureña wrote on social media.

'There are two types of people here. The first group knew nothing and cut Epstein off before his crimes came to light. The second group continued relationships with him after.

'We're in the first. No amount of stalling by people in the second group will change that.

'Everyone, especially MAGA, expects answers, not scapegoats.'

He has never been accused of wrongdoing by survivors of Epstein's abuse, and has denied knowledge of his sex offending.

'I don't like the pictures of Bill Clinton being shown. I don't like the pictures of other people being shown. I think it's a terrible thing,' Trump told reporters on Monday.

'I think Bill Clinton's a big boy, he can handle it. But you probably have pictures being exposed of other people that innocently met Jeffrey Epstein years ago ... and they're highly respected bankers and lawyers and others.'

Another photo appears to show Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor lying across five women’s laps.

Dressed in black tie, the former Duke of York is seen laughing with Maxwell, who is standing in the background.

Andrew has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein, and said he did not 'see, witness or suspect any behaviour of the sort that subsequently led to his arrest and conviction'

Letter apparently sent from Epstein to convicted sex offender Larry Nassar mentions Trump

Another file released on Tuesday is a letter that appears to have been sent by Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar, the US gymnastics team doctor convicted of sexually abusing scores of young gymnasts, while he was in jail.

In the letter, postmarked 13 August 2019 and sent from jail, the letter reads:

Dear L.N. as you know by now, I have taken the “short route” home. Good Luck! We share one thing … our love & caring for young ladies at the hope they’d reach their full potential. Our president also shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to “grab snatch,” whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system. Life is unfair. Yours, J. Epstein.

Epstein was found dead in his cell on 10 August 2019. The death was ruled a suicide. Donald Trump, who was president at the time of the letter being written, has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.

In a post on X earlier, the US justice department said that some of the documents it has released “contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election. To be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already.”

The letter is also mentioned in another file, an FBI Laboratory Examination request, where it states that on 25 September 2019, an FBI agent received a phone call from Bureau of Prisons Special Investigative Section Lieutenant regarding a letter that was received by the Metropolitan Correctional Center.

It says that the letter was a “return to sender” and “the following was written at the top left corner of the letter: J. Epstein Manhattan Correctional NYC NY 10007 The letter was postmarked NOVA 220 13 August 2019 and was addressed to Larry Nassar”.

The file states that it was sent to another Federal Bureau of Prisons facility and that the reason for the “return to sender” was that the addressee was “no longer at this address”.

The FBI document, which is dated July 31 2020, states that FBI New York is requesting the lab to “perform a handwriting analysis comparing the letter” to the “handwriting of Jeffrey Epstein to conclude if the individual who wrote the letter was Epstein or another unknown person.”

Some Epstein documents include ‘untrue and sensationalist claims’ against Trump, says DoJ

The US Department of Justice has released nearly 30,000 of additional pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. Unlike the last batches, this tranche features many more references to Donald Trump.

In a statement accompanying the release, the department said some of the material includes “untrue and sensationalist claims” submitted to the FBI shortly before the 2020 US election, including allegations made against Trump.

The department said the claims are “unfounded and false”.

The statement on X continued:

To be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already.

Nevertheless, out of our commitment to the law and transparency, the DOJ is releasing these documents with the legally required protections for Epstein’s victims.

Of course the DOJ is running subterfuge for trump. When did that become part of their job? Oh that's right, since Bondi took over.

To put it quite simply I've never heard of a team or its fans complain because they have two good QB's. But as we have seen for years now they certainly complain when they have none.

arch wins week 16 for two weekly wins in a row! Both he and GM had 12 correct picks with arch winning the tie breaker. Congrats arch!

Brian Schulz still leads he season with 130 wins with only a one game lead over GM.

There will be three games on Christmas with both of the day games on Netflix and the night game on Amazon Prime.

I guess there is a network in Canada that aired the segment. I'd love to see it.

We are seeing the beginning of our own State sponsored and run news agency. TASS (Telegrafnoye Agentstvo Sovetskogo Soyusza) now known as Information Telegraph Agency of Russia.

What I hope we never lose sight of is the part the GOP and SCOTUS has played in all of this. They have the power to stop him but have chosen not to exercise it.

Senators and the House of Reps alike have allowed him to make our laws a joke. They are responsible as much as the guy at the top. Supporters of Donald Trump are, IMO, Traitors to America. They are Traitors to the Constitution of the United States of America and all it stands for.


When this is all said and done, I hope we have the courage NOT to dispense "Retribution" in the manner of Donald Trump had vowed to do. I hope we have a better sense of what America was supposed to be and was until Jan 20, 2025.

They do need to pay for their crimes but they also need their day in court. Something Trump and the GOP and SCOTUS don't seem to want for everyone else that opposes them.

It's a shame, but it is what it is.

After thinking about "the big question."

To draft a quarterback or not to draft a quarterback?

IMO if we get an opportunity to draft the highest graded quarterback on our Board.

Draft him and don't look back.

I would rather have insurance on the Shedeur question than not have a backup plan if he falters.

If Sanders plays great and he gives the rookie draft pick no chance to play. That is ok. You continue to develop the guy. At some point another team will offer us a trade.

If we use the first pick on tackle or receiver there is no quarantee that selection will pan out. We still have free agency, trades, and the rest of the draft picks to address areas of need.

Steve Young was with SF when Montana was the starter.

Quarterbacks are assets. Phillip Rivers is starting in the NFL. Teams need quarterbacks.

Never heard of the guy, but peace to his family and friends.

RIP

One of the all time great draft day falls, was Aaron Rogers... Alex Smith went first to the 49ers, and Rogers did not go until 21 or so...

As we continue to lose legends, and others who were just part of our mis-spent youths. I always liked his song "Fool if you think it's over".

Chris Rea, Grammy-Nominated Singer of ‘Driving Home for Christmas,’ Dies at 74 - The New York Times
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/22/arts/music/chris-rea-dead-driving-home-christmas.html

Chris Rea, a versatile, Grammy-nominated British singer-songwriter whose hits included the sentimental ballad “Driving Home for Christmas,” died on Monday. He was 74.

His death was announced in a statement on his official Facebook account, which said it came after “a short illness.” The statement did not specify a cause or say where he died.

A virtuosic slide guitarist, Mr. Rea found fame and success, particularly in Europe, with a sound that blended blues, soul and the softer rock that came to define the 1970s and ’80s. He possessed a gruff Yorkshire voice and adored blues guitarists like Sonny Boy Williamson and Muddy Waters — influences that, in some ways, put him at odds with the music that made him famous.

“I am in that unique little club,” Mr. Rea told The Independent in 1997, “where I went into music because I love music, not because I wanted to be rich and famous. I’ve always knocked on the door of the musicians’ room, not the rock stars’ room.”

Chris Rea was born on March 4, 1951, in Middlesbrough, England, a port city in northern Yorkshire. He was one of seven children of Camillo Rea, who operated several coffee shops and ice cream parlors bearing the family name, and an Irish-born mother.

A relative latecomer to music, Chris was kicked out of secondary school for “playin’ with motorbikes instead of playin’ with me pen,” he said in a 1979 interview with The Associated Press. He picked up several odd jobs, including with his father’s ice cream business and as a bricklayer. When he was 20, a friend introduced him to the James Gang, an American band that featured Joe Walsh.

“That was the first album I’d ever bought,” Mr. Rea told The A.P. “I played it until I almost wore holes in it. And I just got into it after that, went out and bought a guitar and got started.”


Mr. Rea’s solo career got off to a fast start with the album “Whatever Happened to Benny Santini?” which featured the single “Fool (If You Think It’s Over).” The song was his biggest U.S. hit, reaching No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the summer of 1978. He was nominated for a Grammy Award that year in the best new artist category.

Mr. Rea released more than two dozen albums, building a loyal fan base in Europe. At times, he leaned into his bluesy, guitar-driven influences, as with the single “Stainsby Girls” from his 1985 album, “Shamrock Diaries.” “On the Beach,” issued the next year, had a more mellow, jazzy feel.

“Looking at my career, the progress has been slow, mainly because I haven’t gone out of my way to sell myself,” Mr. Rea told The Advertiser in 1987. “Maybe if I had a flair for show business it would have helped to pay a few of the bills earlier on and maybe I wouldn’t be making the sort of music I do today.”

Mr. Rea’s survivors include his wife, Joan, and their children Josephine and Julia.

His biggest hit was “Driving Home for Christmas,” a song he wrote in 1978 for Van Morrison. He never heard back from Mr. Morrison and Mr. Rea ended up recording it as the B-side to one of his singles.

“It’s funny because I’d just been banned from driving when I wrote it,” Mr. Rea told The Daily Express in an interview that was published Friday. “But I was feeling good at the time, too, and people say they can hear that infectious feel-good mood when they hear it.”

It took decades for the song to become a hit, finally charting in the United Kingdom Top 10 in recent years.

In 2000, Mr. Rea’s doctors told him he very likely had pancreatic cancer, so he had his pancreas and parts of his stomach removed, which changed his life permanently, including leaving him a diabetic. (Mr. Rea had recently starred alongside Ben Kingsley and Dianna Rigg in a critically reviled 1999 comedy, “Parting Shots,” in which his character was given weeks to live after a cancer diagnosis.)

After his health scare, Mr. Rea was distraught that, in his view, he had spent much of his career compromising his music for record companies.


“I don’t remember being that worried about dying,” Mr. Rea told The Illawarra Mercury, an Australian newspaper, in 2002. “But what really pissed me off was that I had not made a single record where the slide-guitar solo was as long as a slide-guitar solo is meant to be.”

He insisted on releasing a blues album called “Stony Road.”

“If the heads of all the music companies had known about music and about Chris Rea fans, they wouldn’t have worried about ‘Stony Road,’” Mr. Rea told The Independent in 2004, two years after the album was released. “My regular fans have always known that side of me. I knew they wouldn’t have a problem with it. So I made ‘Stony Road’ anyway. All the record companies rejected it. I was very pleased when it eventually went gold.”

I think they're replaced every year. They need to do away with the committee, have some play in guidelines for the lower seed teams, do away with the league championship games and come up with a set of guidelines factoring strength of schedule and a loooong list on tiebreakers like the NFL has. Also do away with that weekly CFP selection show. That does nothing but create controversy to draw ratings.

I understand the case against him that people have.

In Baltimore and Pittsburgh people are all over Harbaugh and Tomlin. That sentiment does mean they are bad coaches.

KS would be quickly hired.

Like most good coaches you better have a good quarterback.

Can the DC police force arrest the FBI and DOJ director for not following letter of the law congress wrote and signed by Trump?

Whatever. We’re still going to need those Epstein files. You know on trafficking those little girls.

I say keep KS, if next year is atrocious, clean house.

After the Watson debacle, Ski deserves one more year to keep his job.

I believe Trump has a plant or two at CBS/Disney that needs to be purged. They could have aired that without saying anything to the doofus in the WH.

I recall when many posters here advocated for Chris Tabor's firing.

Tabor is still in league. The Bills special teams looked pretty good yesterday.
