is fantastic. For anyone who remembers the Jets D- line of Mark Gastineau, Joe Klecko, Marty Lyons and Abdul Salaam.

Gastineau hasn't changed at at all. Footage of him confronting Favre at a 2023 signing convention.

Also you should look up Gastineau's boxing career. His promoter is shady AF. Had guys taking dives against Gastineau because he had a deal in place to fight Foreman if Gastineau could go 12-0. One figher, Doc Anderson, wouldn't dive and exposed Gastineau in the ring and ruined it all by knocking him out.

They had a rematch later and the promoter allegedly drugged Anderson and Gastineau won. The promoter was later shot and killed by Anderson. They could make a movie just about that.

Interesting thought my wife had. It does seem like we have less serial killers now, and obviously more and more school shooters. Are the same people who used the age into serial killing now going off earlier at school? Who knows. I found the thought intriguing.

Biden sinks to all-time low, while Trump's numbers rise, in new national poll​

With one month left in office, President Biden's approval rating is hitting a new low.

Biden stands at 34% approval and 66% disapproval in a Marquette Law School national poll conducted Dec. 2-11 and released on Wednesday.

That is down four percentage points from October and the lowest approval for Biden in Marquette Law School polling since the president took over in the White House four years ago.

The president's approval stands in the mid-30s to low-40s in the latest national surveys, including the most recent Fox News national poll, where Biden stands at 41% approval.

Biden’s approval rating hovered in the low to mid 50s during his first six months in the White House. However, the president’s numbers started sagging in August 2021 in the wake of Biden's much-criticized handling of the turbulent U.S. exit from Afghanistan and following a surge in COVID-19 cases that summer, mainly among unvaccinated people.

The plunge in the president’s approval was also fueled by soaring inflation – which started spiking in the summer of 2021 and remains to date a major pocketbook concern with Americans – and the surge of migrants trying to cross into the U.S. along the southern border with Mexico.

President-elect Donald Trump ended his first term in office at 47% approval, according to Fox News polling from four years ago.

The new Marquette survey indicates that 53% of adults nationwide say they approve of the way Trump handled his job during his first term in the White House (2017-2021), a three point increase from their October poll.

"This is Trump’s highest approval rating since March, when this question of retrospective approval was first asked in the Marquette Law School Poll’s national surveys," the survey's release highlights.

The survey also indicates the public's divided on Trump's Cabinet appointments for his second administration, some of which have sparked controversy.

Forty-nine percent of respondents approved of Trump's handling of cabinet appointments, with 51% disapproving.

According to the Fox News poll, which was conducted Dec. 6-9, 47% approved of the job Trump is doing on picking his cabinet, with 50% giving a thumbs down.

Trump's favorable rating stands at 49% favorable and 50% unfavorable in the Marquette survey, his highest in his post-first administration period.

The president stands at 37% favorable and 62% unfavorable.

Vice President Kamala Harris has a favorable rating of 41% and an unfavorable rating of 57% in the new poll. That is a decline from 45% favorable and 51% unfavorable in the October poll, when Harris was the Democratic Party's presidential nominee.

Heupel needs to get on the ozempic.

Recorded it. Just now am finishing it. Mahomes will play against Pittsburgh is my guess and then shut him down for the last regular season game.

Tank Dell injury was horrific. I hope the best for him and the Texans.

Hollywood, Hopkins, and Worthy are enough to worry about. Expect Kelce to be more open down the stretch or long TDs

Lara Trump announced on Saturday that she was removing herself from contention for the open Florida Senate seat, ending weeks of speculation that the president-elect’s daughter-in-law would represent the Sunshine State in Congress.

Donald Trump had previously communicated to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that he wanted Lara Trump to take the seat, which would be open if Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (R) is confirmed to serve as secretary of state. DeSantis is tasked with appointing Rubio’s replacement.

Speculation that Lara Trump, who is married to Trump’s son Eric, would take the role increased this month after she stepped down as co-chair of the Republican National Committee.

“After an incredible amount of thought, contemplation, and encouragement from so many, I have decided to remove my name from consideration for the United States Senate,” she said in a post on X.


Lara Trump’s announcement is just the latest development in Trump’s complicated relationship with DeSantis, whom he battled in a contentious GOP primary.

Some of Trump’s supporters had publicly pushed for a member of the Trump family to enter Congress.
“The Senate is an old man’s club. We desperately need a smart, young, outspoken woman who will reveal their secrets,” tweeted Maye Musk, the mother of Trump ally Elon Musk, who has recently spent time with her son and Trump’s family at Mar-a-Lago.

Lara Trump’s announcement came after her father-in-law suggested during a Monday news conference that she might not be chosen.
Asked on Monday whether he expected DeSantis to appoint her, Donald Trump told reporters: “No, I don’t, I probably don’t.”
“Ron’s going to have to make that decision, and he’ll make the right decision,” Trump added. “I also know that Lara’s got so many other things. … People want her to be on television, they want to give her contracts.”

People familiar with DeSantis’s thinking had previously told The Washington Post he was considering other candidates. One predicted he was more likely to choose someone who has held public office in Florida.

It was not immediately clear whom DeSantis would appoint, but he has been considering other Florida politicians, including the state’s attorney general, Ashley Moody, and former statehouse speaker Jose Oliva.
Lara Trump wrote that she was humbled by the support she received, including from Florida residents.
“I remain incredibly passionate about public service and look forward to serving our country again sometime in the future,” she wrote. “In the meantime, I wish Governor DeSantis the best of luck with this appointment.”
Lara Trump teased that she would have other news to share in the new year.
“I do have a big announcement that I’m excited to share in January, so, stay tuned,” she wrote.

Panthers (5-5) come to Carver fresh off a lose to S Dakota St and like Iowa have lost 2 out of last 3 games.

UNI is led by Maya McDermott who can be streaky from three.

I like the hawks to win ugly, 78-62

The Cyclone women are getting wrecked by UConn. It's 36-10 after one quarter. ISU is 0-7 from three, tossing up a bunch of bricks. UConn is an unconscious 10-11 from three.

What is wrong with some of us? I'm quite disappointed by the amount of people celebrating losing close to Michigan and ISU. Teams don't make the tournament by losing close games. Iowa dropped 11 spots in the NET by losing last night. Even 1-1 in the last two drastically improves the analytics. Those who keep saying Iowa will be alright, will be really disappointed come March 17th when Iowa is on the Vegas postseason tournament.

One can hardly contain one's astonishment. In fact, my own "shocked" expression might remain forever frozen.

Ready for this? The establishment media colludes with Democrats, and the federal government swindles Americans. Who knew?

Thursday on social media platform X, with the prospect of a government shutdown looming, independent investigative journalist and former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson shared what she called a "quick story about govt. shutdowns and the theatrics behind them."

Attkisson recalled that around 2013, she and CBS News colleagues searched in vain for a government shutdown's "real life impact."

"When we couldn't find any, *that* should have been part of the story. Instead, we kept trying to create the appearance of an impact," she wrote.

Attkisson then attributed their behavior to journalists' tendency to fit facts to a predetermined narrative.

Of course, they had plenty of help from Democrats, including then-President Barack Obama's administration.

"Anyway, the Ds were blaming Rs for the shutdown, so we were calling Ds and the Obama administration for ideas to report what was the real impact. Taking our cue, these officials fabricated impact that we could report," she wrote.

The fabrication came in the form of cordoning off public monuments in Washington, D.C.

"We knew and even discussed in the newsroom that this made no sense. These monuments weren't 'manned' to begin with," she wrote.

Attkisson characterized this incident as simply the most memorable among multiple acts of shutdown-related theater and deceit.

"There are other examples but this is the one I remember the most," she concluded.

The 63-year-old Attkisson, author of "Slanted: How the News Media Taught Us to Love Censorship and Hate Journalism" (2020), has made amends for that behavior, though she certainly qualified as old enough to know better at the time.

The real story, however, involves two facts that remain relevant to this day.
First, the establishment media will stoop to any degree of dishonesty, provided it helps Democrats.

CBS's own "60 Minutes," for instance, got caught doctoring an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris in October during her failed presidential campaign.

Second, Democrats and their allies in the Republican establishment desperately want Americans to regard the federal government as essential. After all, the federal government functions as the mechanism by which the establishment plunders American citizens.

According to U.S. News & World Report, suburbs of Washington, D.C. accounted for five of the 10 wealthiest counties in America by median household income in 2023. Only a massive transfer of wealth to the nation's capital can produce a statistic like that.

Thus, government shutdowns temporarily save Americans from their own government.

Of course, Democrats' allies in the establishment media would go to any length to convince us otherwise.

I remain too "shocked" for words.

Convince me he’s not an All Big player. Because you’re wrong. Most complete player in the Fran era.

(CNN) – Black Friday kicks off one of the biggest shopping weekends of the year, but it may be a bumpy ride for Amazon, which is facing a global strike.

Amazon workers on six continents are planning strikes and protests from Friday through Cyber Monday.

The strike involves workers in more than 20 countries, including the United States, Germany, India and Japan.

Employees and supporters want Amazon to improve fair pay, working conditions and climate accountability.

This is the fifth year of the “Make Amazon Pay” campaign.

I listened to the Cubs win over the Marlins last night, and Pete Crow-Armstrong his an inside the park home run, circling the bases in 14+ seconds. Pat Hughes asked his producer who had done it the fastest, and was a little shocked they only had records going back to 2015, and Byron Buxton has the two fastest times in. circling the bases since then.
It got me wondering, why can't they review video footage and get a solid time down for some older players, and who would you just guess was the fastest? Ron Coomer on the broadcast crew went with Willie Wilson. What about Deion Sanders? I'd also throw out Omar Moreno. Ichiro? It isn't just about the raw speed, it's about efficiency in rounding the bases, too.
Throw out some names, HBOT.

We didn’t improve sports by giving irrational, hostile, obsessive people access to the Internet with a constant stream of consciousness….😂
