    Damn.   I was not expecting this.

     

    Dark day.   Up there with the August 22, 2011 — the day the Rams released

    Christopher Todd Massey.

     

    Never forget:

    “During his career he has made clean snaps on 702 out of 703 attempts including a run of 528 consecutive clean snaps.”

    All the usual power-blocs trying to control the narratives.

    …as an aside, I have come to call this the ‘post-modern-condition.’   Just my own term, i use inside my own head.   Its the condition “I” feel because I can no longer trust 99 percent of the ‘info’ that I am assaulted with each day.

    I have no idea how much of this Jacobin article is ‘true’.

    So, I am left with what?   Well, I still trust my ‘big picture’ ideas.  For example Capitalism is destroying the biosphere.  Capitalism is a sophisticated Lie-machine.   Nation-States operate like Gangster states.     Etc.

    I trust my ‘big picture’ notions (mostly.  always open to modifications).

    But I do ‘not’ trust the more ‘granular’ info or specifics about ‘what is going on’ especially in real time.

    ‘post-modern-conditon’.   An unsatisfying state of mind.  For me.  Always skeptical about the granular ‘info’ and narratives.

    I keep hearing this: “If you pay your QB more than 12.4 percent of your cap,

    you dont win the super bowl”

    The tampa game, the 49er game, and the bengal game, were so full of

    critical-and-well-executed-plays that, I could spend the rest of my life

    just shaking my head about them.

    Here’s one, that was both critical and amazingly-well-executed by everyone involved.   Look at the execution, the blocking:

    Carson Wentz trade rendered invisible because of the Wilson and Rogers situations, but, as Cowherd noted, Wentz threw 27 TDs and 7 pix, last season.

    94.6 rating.

    2017, he threw 33 TDs and 7 INTs.

    2019, he threw 27 TD’s and 7 INTs

    2018 he threw 21 TDs and 7 INTs.   And had a 102 QB rating.

     

    I dunno.  He’s got leadership issues, etc, but I think Washington got an upgrade at QB.    If I’m a Dallas fan, I’m a little more nervous about Washington.

    Von Miller to me on the phone while on vacation regarding his football future: “I want to figure it out with the Rams first & foremost because they’ve been real good to me. On the slim chance that can’t happen, then I’ll explore all my options.
    Rams Brothers@RamsBrothers
    Von Miller is prioritizing his future with the Rams, because of the people in the Rams’ facilities. Their culture is the best in the league. You’d have to be falling into a position that’s obviously superior in order to want to leave this team. Nearly impossible at this point.

    ===

    I am persuaded that the Rams ‘culture’ may very well be ‘the best in the league’

    etc, and so forth — but Von aint stayin.

    No way, a team can afford two first-ballot Hall of Famers on one D-Line.

    I’m still basking in the super-bowl-after-glow.

    Doesnt matter to me if the rams sign anyone.    I dont care if they go 0-17 next year.     I’m just going to rewatch that no-look pass over and over

    for the rest of my days.

     

    But you people, go ahead and live in the present.

    Denver fans having a parade, I’m sure.

    Fandom is easier when ya got a great QB.

     

    The last time the Rams had a great QB, he mangled his thumb, and we only got, what, 3 full healthy-kurt-years.

     

    Let us hope Stafford gives us 5 more years.

    So much fun having a stone-cold-gunslinger.

    I’d be shocked if they found a way to keep Von Miller.   How in the heck could one team keep both Aaron Donald and Von Miller.

     

    I have No idea what kind of contract ‘any’ team could give OBJ at this point.

    I mean, how do you bet on a WR with this kind of injury history?

    I guess, you could figure out some kind of incentive-based contract

    but I dunno if OBJ would go for it.

     

    Stafford sign for ‘under’ 40 million a year?    Again, I’d be surprised.  Mahommes is, what 45?   Josh Allen i think is 43.  Aaron Rogers wants 50 or so.   Why would Stafford be ok with 35?

Other basically No Profile accts have followed me over that time, too, but they never show up as a recommendation. WTF? PS It’s not Biden. It’s the other one.

    Ana Paquin plays Snooky in True Blood. If you’ve never seen it you should. There were many corny moments in the movie. It wasn’t great, or even good. But I did find myself pridefully thinking “Yes!” during the reenactment of the historic plays Kurt made.

    =====

    Well, I might have liked it more than you.   I mean, I hated the ‘message’ of

    “you can make it in this country if you just believe and persevere”.   That whole “If-you-are-rugged-faithful and work hard, you too can make it

    under capitalism.”    Obviously, that message is ultra-problematic and hides

    a shit-ton of things behind the curtain.

     

    So, ‘that’ part of all these movies is awful and barely watchable.

    But leaving that aside  🙂   — I probly liked it more than you.  I was expecting it to be WAY worse.   I thought the actor who played Kurt captured the essence of ‘Kurtness’ and the sports scenes were fine.

     

    It was interesting how they depicted Martz.   He only had a few short scenes but there was a lot there.   Who knows how fair any of that was.

    I remember thinking they always make out DV to be the good cop and Martz the bad cop — but DV had to have known what a prick Martz was being.  So he must have been ok with that approach.   So why does DV get to be the lovable old guy?

     

    I wondered as i watched, if Kurt and Brenda would have stayed together if he had not gotten the pro contract.   The lord must have wanted them to be 2gether.
