I’m done with this regime, and that includes the GM. More of you will agree with me after Thanksgiving.

A stupid play call, ineptly executed. Great job, Packers.

I completely agree the Packers are currently not well-coached but fans and pundits have to begin admitting that the team just isn’t as talented as they would like to believe. Just not very explosive or tough.

Williams did not play that clearly under-thrown ball well.

Quick aside: Rashan Gary is a middling player and resigning him to a pretty large deal was a dumb move by a GM desperate to show that one of his 1st round picks was worthy. I’d say change my mind but you cannot change my mind on this.

Defense has played great but you could literally smell the defensive breakdown coming. And in this case it was two plays in a row.

This is a dumb, sloppy, undisciplined, poorly-coached team.

Buried inside the deal to reopen government is a provision that would give Senators private right of action to sue for millions in damages over their phone records being analyzed by Jack Smith's team.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

I’ve always felt that ordering a shrimp cocktail is a kind of wacky public dining move. Shrimp, which most of us are fine with on plate, but served in a goblet instead.

The price hikes for YouTube TV have been irritating, but this Disney blackout screwed me on the finale of “The Lowdown” last night and will also boof me on the Packers MNF game next week. Unforgivable on both counts!
Anyone got any recos for other live TV options in this day and age?

Came home from a stellar David Byrne show (seriously, fucking amazing) to see that the Bucks won in Indy. Nice little Monday.

Ah, these games where the Packers not only play like complete dogshit against bad teams, but also manage for half the team to get blown up and injured in the process. Classic.

I think Jordan Love certainly has ability, but isn’t very consistent and also isn’t the smartest QB out there. I think LaFleur also isn’t a super-smart coach, and this makes them a poor QB/coach pairing.
