wvParticipantAfter the bodybag game, it might be good to have an extra day,
but who knows.w
vwvParticipantWell, two good-but-different teams; coulda gone either way. Unlike the first game
between the Rams and 49ers.Very hard-fought. Tough, tough, loss.
49ers are just tougher. I dont know that the Rams can play
that team any better.Sure looks like the Chiefs and Packers have complete teams
and every other team has fatal-flaws.w
vwvParticipantKittle says its going to be a ‘bodybag game.’
Now, I would put that on a bulletin board,
if i had one.w
vwvParticipantSaw a vid where Baldy is picking the niners.
So am i. Still dont trust this team.
I just think San Fran has more urgency and fire.Rams 15
49ers 17w
vwvParticipantThat Nina lady (dont know her last name) has always impressed me.
Studies the game. Knows her shit, week in, week out.One of the best. If not ‘the’ best.
Now watch the corporate-suits ruin her in the next few years.

vwvParticipantDunno if this has been posted:
wvParticipantThat dumbing down part. I think it’s fair to say it’s the first economic system in world history with its own, dedicated, self-renewing PR wing. by now..
=============
I think about that a Lot.
I suppose the ‘church’ often worked as the “PR Wing” in earlier systems,
in many places.At any rate, this-here system has the most ‘sophisticated, multi-layered
propaganda system of any government in human history, i would think.I keep reading “the system is collapsing” on social media.
A) no its not. (the biosphere is)
and B) even if it were that would be a testament to capitalism’s
amazing propaganda system, because the people are still blaming
everything but capitalism. Christ-almighty the “its china/russia/Iran’s…fault”
is STILL working after all these decades. The coldwar shit STILL works
on americans. Think how dummed-down you have to be to buy into
all those old tropes. Never fails.w
vwvParticipantOne major problem with naming capitalism as the issue — and it is — is that most people don’t know what the word means..
=============
Yup. Absolutely. And of course, that is not an accident.
Capitalism dums the population down ‘politically.’
It would have to, in order to survive. So it does.
One of the 5 gazillion reasons, we are totally F’d.

vwvParticipantIf you want material that indicts what we are doing, try the novel Ishmael, by Daniel Quinn. It’s a pretty good read, mostly a kind of Socratic dialogue. It indicts the cultural assumptions going back to the “dawn” of civilization, the way of seeing the world that made Capitalism possible.
My son gave it to me for my birthday, and I read it over Christmas break. Good book.
===========
Look. It is MY role to be the senile one.
We talked about Ishmael long, long ago. Back in the book-baking days.
I believe it was one of Pa Ram’s faves. I liked it, too.The one Quinn wrote after that, was not very good.
And yeah, you can find plenty of books that are anti-cap.
And you can find them because the system knows, Americans dont read.w
vwvParticipantBut it does not make point clear that the blue team is complicit. The red team is drawn with more distinct lines. The blue team is there, but they aren’t identified as the blue team. Thus many viewers miss the point. I think that’s true to say.
===========
Well, that is my point. And it would NOT…have…been…made, if it had
indicted Capitalism in direct, understandable, unambiguous terms. No studio would have touched it. Paramount sold it to Netflix. Neither would have touched it.The director McKay, an old Saturday Night Live writer (complete libshit show)
is the guy who has this background, fwiw:“…McKay rewrote the script for the Marvel Studios feature film Ant-Man, directed by Peyton Reed.[15] McKay also worked with Reed, Paul Rudd, Gabriel Ferrari & Andrew Barrer on Ant-Man and the Wasp to flesh out the story.[16] He has also expressed interest in helming a Silver Surfer movie for Marvel Studios.[17]
He produced the films Land of the Lost (2009), The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard (2009), The Virginity Hit (2010), Casa de Mi Padre (2012), Bachelorette (2012), Tim and Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie (2012), The Campaign (2012), Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013), Tammy (2014), Welcome to Me (2014), Get Hard (2015), Sleeping with Other People (2015), Daddy’s Home (2015), and The Boss (2016)..”
==w
vwvParticipantI remember long, long, long ago when the Rams vs 49ers was a big bad rivalry.
I mean it was up there with the Cowboys vs Washington, or Oakland vs Kansas City, etc.This game has that feel. This is a great-big game. Its fun.
=============
wvParticipant…now, all day, I’ll be thinking of “how would a leftist rewrite The Incredible
Mr Limpett….what would a marxist fish look like….?w
vPerhaps you and Bezos can mull that over together at the next “Goldman-Sachs Appreciation Day” event you two cohost?
==============
You liked Dont Look Up, but do you see my point? It never expressly
called out Capitalism. Never named it. Why do you think that is?I mean no american film ‘ever’ ‘does’. Its not an accident.
w
vwvParticipantChris Carter reduces it down to “the 49ers have simply been more physical than the Rams”. Thats kinda how it seems to me, too.
They have beat the rams up, run right thru them, and forced turnovers.
Maybe a healthy Von Miller can help this time, I dunno.
wvParticipantInteresting. Yet you constantly gush over this pro-capitalist propaganda piece…
===========
…now, all day, I’ll be thinking of “how would a leftist rewrite The Incredible

vwvParticipantIn one scenario, the Chargers and Raiders would have an incentive to
TIE and thus both make the playoffs.
——-wvParticipant49er player asked ‘why’ the 49ers have dominated the Rams:
January 4, 2022 at 4:35 pm in reply to: Cowherd likes Stafford & other takes on MS after Baltimore #135227wvParticipantThese three do not ‘trust’ stafford.
wvParticipantWell, I believe its an ‘entertaining’ and ‘witty’ and ‘funny’ film, etc, etc.
I’m looking forward to seeing it.
But I’ve become a mono-maniac about capitalism in these late-stage-days,
and so, if a film does not expressly call out capitalism, i am going
to rip it to pieces. Thats how damaged wv-brain is now.Biosphere is being murdered. By Capitalism. And they (screenwriters, producers, directors, etc) are not gonna call it out?
Well, of course they are not gonna call it out. Everyone on this board
knows WHY they are not gonna call it out.Imagine trying to get that movie produced if they HAD expressly,
directly called it out — even in only one scene.Network, back in the 70s at least had one scene where they
called it out. Directly. I cant think of a film since then.
Maybe one here or there. A few drops in the ocean.w
vwvParticipantOn twitter I called a film made by libshits, for libshits.
But i havent seen it 🙂
I based my comment on what I’ve been told, and the trailer.
I’m gonna watch it at some point, and maybe I’ll have a
better-informed opinion, but…the biosphere is being murdered
by capitalism. Does the film ever once even mention the C word?I am guessing – No.
It blames ‘greed’ and ‘stupidity’ and all the usual oblique things
that end up forming an inkblot test in peoples minds.
Libs can watch and blame Trumpies. Trumpies can watch it and blame
‘big stupid government’. Etc, etc, etc.If a leftist had made that comedy, how would it have been written?
This is the question i play with every time a watch film these
days — If a leftist had written this script how would the
plot/characters have been different?w
vwvParticipantIf ya scroll down to the ‘Jimmy Carter calls for boycott’ tweet,
you’ll see even worse news:On January 4th, 1980, US president Jimmy Carter called for the boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics, citing the presence of Soviet troops in Afghanistan as the reason. pic.twitter.com/aGX6oDc3UA

wvParticipantRams are 5 point favorites according to the mafia.
I believe i saw a stat where McVay is 8-24 or somethin like that
when trailing at half-time, btw.What does a stat like that mean? Does that mean he doesnt
adjust well if the original game-plan dont work ?Or do most coaches have stats like that when
trailing at the half.w
vwvParticipantI don’t think he is completely honest there about what he was doing. Here’s the deeper story. Before camp, Martz wanted Justin to be the #2. Justin had worked with him before. Vermeil nixed that and said Warner was the #2. He didn’t ask Martz if Warner should be, he just said he is. DV said Justin could not even compete for the #2. Vermeil already knew who Warner was before 99–he had him there in 98. (Ironically, when Green went down, Justin signed as the #2).
Martz is famously abusive. It even showed up in how he treated cohosts when he was part of broadcast teams. So I think that was part of it.
I think Martz lit into Warner at least partly because he was pissed at being shot down over Justin. I bet he told himself that he was just putting pressure on him. And to an extent that’s probably true, because Trent Green told a story about how Warner asked him why Martz was so rough on him, and Green said he told Kurt ah he did that to me too in Washington.
I may not remember the Green story right. I don’t remember if Green told that story or Warner told that story, where he asked Trent about Martz.
…
=========
Oh, I totally agree.
I’m assuming there was an ugly scene in the new Kurt movie? Probly made
Martz wanna ‘explain’ things.At this point, I imagine Martz actually believes what he’s saying
in that vid, though. Humans. “the brain is a self-justifying organ”w
vwvParticipantWell Stafford should stick to the new formula: A pick6 and minus 2 in the turnover game, and the rams should win.
w
vwvParticipantThis rookie WR on the Bengals. Named Chase. Had over 200 yards against Kansas City.
I dunno anything about him or the Bengals.But if you havent seen the hi-lite where he he catches a ball and is running
among a pack of Kansas City players…and then…just turns…on…the…jets.Its an OMG moment.
Either the KC players are slow, or Chase is OMG-fast.
w
vwvParticipantI’m guessing the more insightful players, could see thru
what Martz was doing, which makes that whole tactic
more problematic.w
vwvParticipantwvParticipantCardinals are winning 22 to 7 and I’m glad.
I do not want that last 49er game to be meaningless
for the rams. They need to ‘earn this.’Its about F’ing time McVay beat Shannahan, aint it?
w
vwvParticipantRichard Dent had 17.5. Quinn has 18. Didnt realize Robert Q was having
that kind of year. Nice to hear.w
vwvParticipantRecords will be set next week all around the NFL, I assume,
in the 17th game.I dont wanna hear about it.
w
vwvParticipantI’m gonna go out on a limb and predict the media
will cover this, this week.w
