538 doesn't agree. Three weeks ago, they gave Trump a chance if Clinton's polls kept suffering. It's been a complete 180 since the debate and building. Nate Silver's algorithm is the best in the business. He was 50 for 50 in 2012.

From a RollingStone article today quoting Stephen Colbert's reaction to Trumps comments: Couldn't have been said any better.

Eichel is going to beast this year.

Putin's endorsement of Trump is all the information anyone needs about what candidate Russia fears the most. Putin and his KGB boys would play The Donald like a fine violin.

Regardless where the next justice resides on the political spectrum, Obama should withdraw the nomination for the same reason McConnell and Co. gave for stonewalling it; the new president should have a say. I doubt if Obama sinks that low, though.

One of the best gifs ever. I will soon be plastering this all over the net (as if it hasn't been already).

Am I the only one who thinks GMTM and El Pegaul have absolutely ZERO compunction about playing Moulson in Rachacha if a hard decision needs to be made? If Fasching and Grant earn it in their eyes I can see them keeping either in favor of MattyMo.

^This. It will be interesting so see how far their collective intransigence on the SCOTUS issue goes if Clinton is elected. They've had no problems subverting the will of the American people for eight years, so I can actually see them digging in deeper on the issue.

Yep. After the passage of the Civil Rights Act, dixiecrats were courted by the GOP and defected in huge numbers. There has never been a shortage of disaffected white men thinking the system screwed them over.

I'm tired of this two thread system. We need a viable third thread option.

The left-wing, 3rd party of its day. If the Republican party ever got back to its roots, I'd have to consider rejoining.

And to think there was a chance these players could have had Trump as their owner! Stick to football, Richie. Opining on geopolitical matters isn't in your wheelhouse.

If I were any more chill, they'd have to check my pulse. It's just interesting what ticks people off or not. I suspect it has to do with what side of the aisle one sits on, too.

So calling someone a racist or a bigot is worse than being told to eat a dick and phuck off around here. Nice to know what the rules are.

So, racist and bigot are the new N words? Well alrighty then.

He had a couple shorties last year in pre-season. DD trying to recapture that pre-season magic.

His dad made him do it. It was sad when Cody, a la Jimmy Piersall in the grips of a nervous breakdown, scaled the safety netting and yelled, "Is that good enough dad?! Is it?! Am I good enough now?!"

Kassian wins!! Somewhere Ghost saying I told you so.

Not if PFF is to be believed, apparently. See my post above. If 10 of his 39 attempts were between the numbers, then he went to that area more than 25% of the time yesterday or more than doubled his previous percentage of attempts to that area of the field. Belichick dared him and he took advantage. That's a huge development marker for TT as far as I'm concerned.

According to PFF, Taylor was 9 of 10 for 82 yards and an average QB rating of 101.4 on throws between the numbers yesterday. I don't follow PFF and never read their website; this is a repost from Eric Turner at Cover1, one of the most knowledgeable bloggers out there. I swear he has worked in a quality control capacity in the league or college D1.

Holy crap. Is Limbaugh gonna be next? Is so, I'm preparing for the rapture.

It's critical that a QB be able to hit plays in every area of the field; you are just too easy to defend otherwise, especially with the level of athleticism on display in today's league. As I posted up thread, he did exceptionally well between the numbers yesterday. Belichick dared him to beat them there and he did. If it's A Lynn making that much of a difference, I gotta wonder what Roman was thinking. Let's hope it continues.

Eric Turner at Cover1 reposted PFF's pass distribution chart from yesterday's game. TT had a very good game between the numbers yesterday. Excellent in fact. I don't know how much of that to attribute to A Lynn or TT, but Belichick dared TT to beat them there and damned if TT didn't do just that. Please let that be a hint of things to come. Espcially vs. LA, whose safeties are questionable, imo.
