You get the government that you ask for and deserve.
They are simply getting the outcome that they started at the ballot box. They should be satisfied.

I always like the idea of 6. The top two team get a bye, which gives those teams a reward for what’s likely was an undefeated season and still leaves some value in the regular season. 6 takes care of those teams just on the outside that have great credentials as well, like Georgia in ‘23.

Being a Steeler fan, I absolutely adore how the Bengals choose to operate their franchise.
re: NFL QB win% as a starter for 25 to 29 year old QBs

I just see so many posts about this QB or that QB is good/bad/better/worse that I wanted to show the facts for everyone to consider.
It’s not surprising to see the records of first overall draft picks are pretty poor considering they were picked by the worst team in the league that year.
Now some of those QBs are definitely part of the problem, but not really the whole picture.

Jaromir Jagr
Was at a bar in Pittsburgh in the mid-90’s went to bathroom went to open the door and as I reached it opened up and out walked Jagr. The door almost hit me he stopped and said “sorry for the door, hi I’m Jaromir” and shook my hand and I told him my name. He asked if I was there with friends I said I was. About 20 minutes later he comes by the table introduces himself and the friend with him to the my group and proceeds to buy us rounds and hang out for about 45 minutes.
After he left, my friends were confused and asked how I knew him. Was strange to say, “guys I met him outside the bathroom just a few minutes ago”.
My experience was pretty consistent with other folks that ran into him in town. He’d just say hi, come hang out for a bit, buy rounds of drinks and move along.
Worst was Barry Bonds. I was 12 and he was an absolute dick to me at a meet the Pirates event. So much so that Bobby Bonilla and John Smiley came over to get him away from me and the other kids. I legitimately think he was drunk. Kids had baseball cards that they were trying to get signed, he was grabbing them and throwing them and tearing them in half. Told some kids to frick off; literally. They were around 8 years old. Bonilla came running over and grabbed him with Smiley and dragged him off.

re: Austrailia's "Gold Standard" of gun control laws is a failure. Go Figure!

all Americans would be safer if we banned guns.
Statistically speaking, if you group and account for whites, Hispanics and Asians together, the U.S. has one of the lowest gun crime rates in the world.
So banning guns would likely not make any of that group much safer.
Now, if our friends in the inner city had less access to firearms, it may help there. But let’s face it, they don’t care about laws now, won’t in the future and have a real penchant for shooting each other.

Kordell Stewart while with the Steelers in the early 2000's was busted by a cop in very well known gay area in town at the time (Schenley Park) for lewd behavior with a tranny. The cop called in their partner and ultimately let him go after discussing it with their captain because they didn't want to deal with the press nightmare.
My dad's cousin was a Paramedic Chief in Pittsburgh and his best friend was high up in the police. I used to play golf with them and my father from time to time. I asked them about it when the rumor was fresh. The guy who was with the police just smiled and said "Well, he wouldn't be the only popular athlete we caught up there".
Long story short, Kordell Stewart was maybe gay or bi.

They butted heads regularly once Kraft came on.
I truly think that Kraft thought that Matt Rhule would jump at the opportunity. Rhule played at PSU and he and Kraft are tight and go all the way back to when they were at Temple together.
When Rhule said no, I think Kraft was stunned and didn't have another plan.

Lane.
But seriously, I’d imagine at this point in the game, you’d have to go after one of the elite coordinators.
Maybe someone like Schumann, who’s an alum.
What I do know is that there’d be another round of Sexton getting everyone raises before the dust settles.

re: Michigan was Matt Campbell’s Dream Job
Posted by RolltidePA on 12/10/25 at 9:40 pm to TomRollTideRitter
As much as I’d like to see Penn State embarrassed again, I really don’t think Michigan was Campbell’s dream destination.
He’s from Massillon, Ohio which is in the Canton / Akron area close to the PA border. He spent a lot of his youth in Carmichael, PA and played at Pitt for a year before going to Mount Union and has a lot of family in Pennsylvania.
He may have eyed up the Michigan job, but the Penn State job is the biggest job thats close to home for him.

Sucks they quit making the STI
I had an ‘07 and an ‘18. Those were fun cars. Transmission was bulletproof, EJ series engine, not so much.
Subarus are easy targets for jokes because they were the first company to embrace ignored markets, like gays.
They make a great four wheel drive system. Their older EJ engines were okay for the time, they had headgasket issues on the non-turbo models. The turbo models used a multi-layer headgasket and didn’t have any issues. Headgaskets were a pain, becuase of the boxer engine orientation, the engine had to come out to do it. But they’d replaced the regular headgasket with one from a turbo and you’d be good to go. For the turbo models of the EJ, trying to keep up with regulations forced changes that ended up creating knock issues that would break ringlands and rods. LSPI was a big issue as the EJ platform aged in the performance models.
They are on a completely new engine architecture these days that doesn’t suffer from issues of the old ones. The CVT that they use in almost everything is okay. They aren’t like Toyota, even though there are parts and knowledge sharing with them, or Honda. You have to really keep up with maintenance on them. If you do you’ll have a vehicle that will go 200,000 miles pretty painlessly.
