Currently the federal government has a former heroin addict, anti-vaxxer who had a brain worm with no medical degree running Department of Health and Human Services. Who is obligated to get involved with that? Do you have any idea how many billions of dollars the federal government has been connned out of? Do you know just how lame that sounds?


Yet crime, especially violent crime is lower than it was during trump's first term. Just like Portland. Nobody needed to "step in" in Portland. Or any other major city for that matter. You're just buying into the BS trump has been spewing as excuses to play a strong man.


It is. The problem is many who have common sense aren't using it. They are buying into a bunch of propaganda being spewed to convince them that the way America has conducted itself for over two centuries now no longer matters. In many cases turning their backs on the very things they stood for most of their life. And they can't even see it.

Common sense certainly isn't very common these days.

What law covers blowing up vessels and kill people because you accuse them of being a drug smuggler?

Which has nothing to do with the topic but since you asked.

I am against abortion. My daughter was born when I was 19. Abortion was a legal option. But it's never an option I nor her mother ever considered because it's against my beliefs.

Now would you like to address the topic? Or are you going to going to tap out again by addressing my post with another question unrelated to the topic at hand?

When the regular season ends draft coverage starts to ramp up.

At that time the draft order is known except for the playoffs teams.

Senior Bowl week is interesting because you get to see the prospects in their first NFL test with NFL coaches.

Mendoza displays good characteristics overall. He is a solid prospect. He got drilled on the first play against Ohio State.

The DT nailed him. He got up and played well. He has come up big in big moments. That is a good quality.

I was able to watch the game yesterday. I saw at least 2 occasions where Myles was being held and what about the play where his helmet was ripped off?

I agree it's too early to determine how we will draft because there are too many variables involved. However, just for some conversation as of right now I would draft Mendoza no question. If he were not available, I would make that trade. I would strength our weak areas with those picks, go with Shedeur next season and see how he develops. If it is determined he is not our future, you will again have 2 #1's in "27 to move up just like you have now. Like Bone said there's a long way to go but it's fun to speculate on the subject.

The selection committee exposed themselves by selecting teams that have no business playing in the playoffs.

How many SEC teams were selected to play in the 2025 playoffs..?

The members of the selection committee need to be replaced.

I was just shocked that there was not even ONE single holding called ALL SEASON. Not possible. I just wonder how many times it was called on guys blocking Straham and Watt when they lead the league in sacks?

Of course Steeler fans would say that.

That is the way the NFL ruled because of the way the play went. There is precedent.

Plus like you said. I have seen Myles held like vice grips so often and not called it is sickening.

I don't care about Steelers or their fans.

Myles will break the record because he earned it.

Sure you try to win.

The Browns are not a good team - duh.

We are starting a rookie quarterback who has played five games. One starter on the OL.

Horrible receivers. Third string running back.

Realistic expectations are we might play the Bengals even up.

The Steelers are playing well with Rodgers.

We gave a good effort against a superior team in the Bills. I was encouraged by some things in that game.

Right now I am not ready to make that call.

Senior Bowl, Combine and a lot more breakdowns on these prospects.

Right now I do not see much separation between Mendoza, Moore, and Simpson. All of them have played well.

It is easy to breakdown film. There is much more to it. You have to find out what is inside his chest. What drives the guy and what kind of leader he is.

Leadership is extremely important. You can't coach it. You can't learn it. You are or you are not.

In the NFL you have to be a leader to be a starter.

Between now and the draft the mocks change. People rise and fall during the draft process. As more information becomes known.

I like John Mateer. I think he will be really good in the NFL once he is coached up some. He may return to school. I don't know.

Right now he is considered fourth best by Kiper and NFL Draft Buzz as well as other sites. NFL Draft Buzz has a good site. They do a comprehensive breakdown and deep analysis.

IMO if Mateer had not broken his thumb. He might be considered the top guy.

Long way till the draft. Plenty of time to discuss all this.

Whats everybody thoughts on this. I posted it on my Facebook this morning after one of my steeler fan friends posted about how the NFL was trying to hand Myles the record when he got credit for the 1/2 sack.


Food for thought when Browns fans complain about the refs.
In the 2025 NFL season,
no player has been penalized for offensive holding specifically against Myles Garrett.
While the Cleveland Browns' opponents have incurred offensive holding penalties throughout the season, none of those specific penalties have been officially attributed to the player blocking Myles Garrett in the game logs or league statistics.
SHM Yes right NFL WINK WINK

First, I said I would almost be in favor.

Second, these aren't typical states rights issues.

Nine $billion in missing funds from one state impacts every state. The Feds are obligated to get involved when it appears a state can't manage it's own programs and citizens.

The same goes with calling up national guard troops. If a city can't control what is happening inside it's limits, the state needs to step in to restore order. If the state can't or refuses to act, the Feds need to step in to restore order.

It pretty much common sense, don't you think?

You were the one claiming a war crime. I was pointing out that non-uniformed personnel aren't covered under war crime acts.

Laws of the sea dictate all vessels in international waters must be flagged. If not they are not covered by the laws of the flagged nation or international treaty and can be treated as pirate vessels.

Are you auditioning for a lead roll in Troll 3 ???

The unborn are the most innocent victims there can be.

I hope they have tampons in the men's bathrooms in federal prison, or this chick will be bleeding all over the floor.

Show me where anyone here said anything close to comparing him to Lawrence Taylor, or of a player of LT’s stature.

Just one time, back up your mouth.

I’ve always believed that drafting to protect the qb was the idea. But yeah winning is #1.

Anybody that thinks Trump is sane, is insane.

Nice try switching it up. Look squirrel! lol pffft MAGAts

I thought the business idea was to win. I see other team do it and they actually look having some fun….

I don’t know enough about Moore. I’d have to do my homework there. But if I have any questions about Moore and with Mendoza off the board I’d probably take that trade. I know I said fix the QB this year, but that’s because of the extra pick and how high we are. But this would be too enticing.

Just from a raw statistical and risk management perspective, you move down one spot, do the roster load up and get the chance to play for the pool again next year. You essentially get to play both strategies, the support roster load up or the QB get. You give Sanders the extra year that so many seem to want to give him and he likely has new tackles and #1 WR from the 3 first round picks this year. No excuses if he doesn’t show out.

And let’s be honest, the Jets might be as snakebit as the Browns. That pick is going to be top 10 next year.

Watching yesterday's games. Tulane and James Madison had no business in the college football playoffs. I would have much rather watched Notre Dame at Ole Miss and Texas at Oregon. The non power conference teams should not be in playoffs unless they have a team ranked in top 12 like Boise State last year.

Hypothetical Scenario - What would you do?

Browns and Raiders lose out. Raiders pick #1 and the Browns pick #2.

Jets offer LV both 2026 1st round picks and 2027 1st round pick. Raiders decline and draft Fernando Mendoza.

Browns are on the clock, and the Jets make the same offer to the Browns. Would you select Dante Moore? Take the trade?
