Fellow white Christians... let's please be better than this! (You know... actually strive to follow core Christian teachings!)
Then he arrived a decade ago: someone who gave them what they needed to finally abandon the performance completely: permission to be horrible; someone who erased any semblance of decorum, any expectation of decency, any level of accountability.

Haven't been here for a while but yes... this will be an "interesting" season for the Steelers! It all seems like a crap shoot but... does NCAA champion QB Will Howard add a new "twist", and with Pickens out might there be a more focused/determined receiving corps... good "surprises" on the way?
Since making another all-too-familiar early playoff exit, the #Steelers have waited for a chance to get back on the field and turn the page toward a new season.

That wait ends on Tuesday with the start of organized team activities.

Oh - Canada! (And _how long ago... measured in a handful of weeks maybe... were the Tories at 99% odds or so to win??)
Resign! Resign!
11 Conservative MPs are calling for Pierre Poilievre and Jenni Byrne to resign. There appears to be a recognition that the negative, Trump-like campaign filled with slander, deception, lies and misinformation has backfired on the CPC. They are imploding in the polls. #cdnpoli

So it's down to two singular names ("Mammoth" and "Wasatch") and "Hockey Club"... (& what's wrong with "Mammoths"...? 🤔 ) I thought "Seattle Kraken" was something, but this takes it up a notch... right? Call me old-fashioned but plural (& relatable) names... like "Penguins"... really rule!

The team expects to announce a permanent name and identity before the 2025-26 NHL season.

I'll save yinz some reading... as flawed as today's NFL playoff structure seems at times, it still may be the "least worst" model for all concerned. Division titles matter, 7-seeds = a longshot but still can win (more than an NCAA 🏀 16-seed, right?) and 14-win wild cards (like the Vikes) are rare!
January 16, 2025 at 10:58 PM
"There's always next year!" And so the look-ahead continues... though we get the Bills, Lions and Vikings, the 2nd-place schedule offers some "mercy", Chargers-Indy-Seattle instead of KC-Houston-Rams. A game in Dublin may also prove motivating. A "less worse" year may be within reach! 😉

As so often happens with the Steelers, it'll be an "interesting off-season" and this is just one angle of it. But assuming Pickens stays, with whoever as QB1, is it wrong to still hold out some optimism for leveraging Mike Williams as an added threat, or finding another good receiver in the draft?
When asked at Tuesday’s season-ending press conference whether it was a priority for the #Steelers to get wide receiver George Pickens a contract extension in the offseason, coach Mike Tomlin didn't say "Yes."

He didn't even come close.
