Having first watched the Broncos game, then the Raiders game, then the Bears game, I can say that there was just some awful football this weekend.

Thats the right call. No way should we be sending players to China right now, both because of the Virus and because of other reasons. Its also good that the league is paused. Give it a week to hopefully let cases die down a bit. Not worth the risk of letting it run like wildfire through the locker rooms.

The Lions are currently rolling the Cardinals. ............k. That makes sense.

BBB is dead. Manchin put the final nail in its coffin this morning.

Can I interest you in our Lord and Savior, Hall of Fame QB Kendall Hinton? The NFL made us play with a WR at Qb. Soooooo.......

As as CSU fan, I both love and hate that we are relevant right now.

Jets coach resigned Avs-Bolts and Wild-Panthers both postponed Crazy day in the NHL, and its not even Noon yet.

BBB appears dead. Looks like they are going to try and pivot to the voting rights bill that died earlier this year. Not sure if anything really changed on that bill either. Unless Manchin is ready to change the Filibuster that bill also stands no chance at passing.

Fun stat being passed around out here today In the past month the Avs have outscored the Broncos. Life is pain GO AVS!

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/10/public-view-on-bidens-handling-of-covid-and-the-economy-takes-another-hit-cnbc-survey-shows.html Public view on Biden’s handling of Covid and the economy takes another hit, CNBC survey shows "As bad as Biden’s number may be, the polling data for Democrats in Congress is far worse. Republicans now sport a historic 10-point advantage when Americans are asked which party they prefer to control Congress, holding a 44%-34% margin over Democrats. That’s up from a 2-point Republican advantage in the October survey." I refuse to believe there's actually a 10 point GOP lead on the generic ballot. This poll almost universally leans toward the Democrats, in the few historic times the GOP does lead its typically a few months out from an election. A 10 point GOP lead here portends to an absolute bloodbath for Democrats where virtually no seat would be safe. If this poll is true, and holds through next year, the House is 100% going to flip and the Senate likely goes with it as well. We just dont have any sort of historic benchmark to compare this to because its just that far out of the norm.

500 is a pretty big deal. Congrats to Flower for getting to that crazy mark.

This fucking sucks in so many ways. He was one of my favorite players. I have his Jersey in my closet. Everyone who knows him has said he was just a great person as well. So many stories about how good of a person he is are flooding out there right now. This sucks.

To support my argument above about the Hispanic vote-split: https://www.wsj.com/articles/wsj-poll-biden-leadership-economy-midterms-11638888384?mod=Searchresults_pos2&page=1 Have to dig a bit to get into the weeds in this study but heres a tweet that breaks some of it out.

🤷‍♀️

Its partially media and partially just people talking about it. All you have to do is go to somewhere left wing, like Twitter or Reddit, and theres a pretty constant drumbeat to try and flip Texas. Resources are absolutely going to be wasted trying to win in Texas when that state is still very red. Texas and Georgia are nothing alike either. Texas is solidly red, with a unified GOP. Even if theres a contentious primary it will be nothing like Georgia. The reason that Dems have a chance is Georgia is because Trump is actively trying to destroy the GOP because the party there wouldnt buy into his "stop the steal" bullshit. The GOP is Georgia is hopelessly split thanks to Trump sabotaging the party. Thats creating a very real lane for Democrats to walk down and win. The Minority vote in Texas is also going to be a huge problem for Democrats. In Georgia they can count on the Black vote coming out to support them, that support isnt there in Texas. The majority-Minority there are Hispanics, and they are splitting 50-50 GOP/Dem, with pretty clear movement toward the GOP, in all recent polling. If that vote truly splits 50-50 in Texas then the GOP is going to win in a laugher. Thats going to be a much bigger problem nation-wide for Democrats than many are willing to admit right now.

The way that they have been talking about Texas sure makes it seem like a priority. It may not be a priority for organizations like the DCCC, but theres a ton of grassroots support for trying to flip Texas. Thats the real problem for Democrats. Every dollar that Beto raises and spends in Texas is a wasted dollar that could go to a more competitive race. That happens in every election cycle. Both parties do it as well. There's some shiny object out there that draws huge amounts of cash and wind sup siphoning off support and resources for a more winnable race somewhere else.

Texas is, once again, a priority for Democrats in 2022. Beto is running, again. And Beto is getting crushed, again. https://poll.qu.edu/poll-release?releaseid=3830 n a head-to-head matchup in the race for governor of Texas, Republican Governor Greg Abbott leads Democratic challenger Beto O'Rourke, 52 - 37 percent, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University poll of Texas registered voters released today. Republicans back Abbott 90 - 5 percent, independents back Abbott 47 - 37 percent, and Democrats back O'Rourke 87 - 6 percent. Texas is the football and Democrats are Charlie Brown. They keep trying to kick the ball and Lucy keeps yanking it away.We're going to hear a whole lot about this race and Beto is going to raise a ton of money, but the end result will be the same this year as it is every year. Texas is still a very Red state.

Thats the most Vikings thing ever.

Put Cinci at #1 you cowards!

Mondays Pats @ Bills game is looking to be a snow-bowl. Really hoping that it happens

No one wants to have that image in their heads. OH GOD ITS IN MY HEAD
