🧵 for Nets fans. I’ve been a Nets fan my whole life. I’ve been through ups & downs from Drazen vs MJ to Drazen’s death. From Starburry to Kidd’s finals runs to VC. Ratner & 12-70, Proky moving to BKN, Billy King, D’Lo’s shine, & the rise & fall of the Big 3 that barely played.

@NickHarrisFWST @nickfromda301 How many 1st round picks is Dallas giving Houston for Al-Shaair? Because it's more than one...

@nickfromda301 They’ve pivoted off Queen. Al-Shaair & Brooks are being discussed though

My first mock draft of the season is live. I have the Cowboys getting secondary and defensive line help in the first round, but what about linebacker? MORE ⬇️ star-telegram.com/sports/nfl/dal…

@Marcus_Mosher Make sense for who? Not Houston. He's arguably their most important defender. When he's out they play very average. When he's in they're the best defense in the NFL.

Azeez Al-Shaair is in the final year of his contract and will turn 29 in August. With Houston having a bunch of big contracts coming up, it would make sense to move him. He's an awesome player. Would love this for Dallas.

You know, Columbia blue was a Houston City official color before the Oilers existed? It’s the color of their police cars, and it’s rooted in the color of the Texas Blue Bonnet, their official flower? Nashville’s colors are Gold and Dark blue, like the Predators wear. Titans ownership is just petty. Art Model didn’t lord over the Browns brand. Titans are lame.

@DrBlueBerry99 @Titans This argument is so dumb. They literally own all copyright for all oilers logos, colors, etc. and the team never changed hands. It’s really more like the Texans wish after 27 years they could use the colors.

@CalenBullock You misspelled Hammer Pants

I don’t have jeans on 😂😂they sweatpants

@j_g_allen How does a battery charge that fast without being hit with a current level that destroys the battery itself?

@LADco @TomPelissero I’m basing it off his ability to make pre snap reads and just basically we agree he’s not great at football. Maybe he’ll be the world’s smartest tax accountant one day…

@JDoc311 @TomPelissero yeah, same here. I meant that I don't know him personally to judge him like that. I just know he's not great at football

Dan Campbell wants the Lions to get back to playing their brand of football, and that starts with reestablishing a dominant O-line. From the NFL.com pre-draft scouting report on Juice Scruggs: “He plays like a block of granite…” That fits.

@LADco @TomPelissero I’m a Texans fan…

@JDoc311 @TomPelissero eh, idk him

@LADco @TomPelissero Dumb as a block of granite too

@TomPelissero he plays like a block of granite.... that doesnt move

@FatherDynasty @RapSheet @MikeGarafolo @malkikawa @FirstRoundMgmt He’s not a good run blocker. He is a good pass blocker. How long do you live with a flawed player? His deal was coming up and they didn’t want to commit longer. Still, I can’t see them pulling the trigger unless they already have a FA lined up. He’s not a bad player.

@RapSheet @MikeGarafolo @malkikawa @FirstRoundMgmt Smart by the Browns but not sure why the Texans would be trading away one of the better pieces on their o-line when it’s a position of need.

Sources: The #Texans and #Browns have agreed to terms on a trade to send starting RT Tytus Howard to Cleveland in exchange for a fifth-round pick. Much-needed OL help. Plus, Howard gets a new 3-year, $63M extension in a deal done by @malkikawa and Ethan Lock of @FirstRoundMgmt.

@_JP26_ @RapSheet @malkikawa @FirstRoundMgmt Using the term happy ending when referring to the Watson trade was 100% intentional

@RapSheet @malkikawa @FirstRoundMgmt you would think the browns learned their lesson from the last trade they made with the texans hopefully this time has a happy ending for cleveland, but in a slightly different way than before

@nolafan76 @NFL_DovKleiman I saw him play Miami. I don't question his toughness. Cignetti has a lot of edge to him. I question him firing up grown men absent a leader like Cignetti doing it for him. That's really it. I have no real dawg in the fight. My favorite NFL team has a QB.

@JDoc311 @NFL_DovKleiman He’s nice but also tough as nails

Powerful: Fernando Mendoza was asked how he would react if he fell in the draft. Reporter: “If you don’t go #1 Overall, what would you say to the team that passed on you?.” Mendoza: "Nothing. There are so many great players in this class." 👏👏👏

@bgimhoff @kurt13warner You mean white board, right?

@kurt13warner 3 cone would be way more relevant to actual QB play than a 40 yard dash IMO.

Oh, so on the snap they can turn and sprint away from a DE!!! Got it… it all makes sense now!

@PanthersGas @NFLUKIRE Texans

@NFLUKIRE This makes zero sense? Washington vs a team that play in Purple but they aren’t playing a purple team in 2026?

Can you guess the team from just 3 colours? 🎨 Safe Space Studios

@FmrRepMTG Art of the Steal

What level chess is this?

I think there are a lot of Americans who feel we are out of options. I felt very uncomfortable with the way COVID was handled, and I didn’t like the prosecution of Trump because it seemed very much like political persecution. It made the left unelectable. I have long standing disdain for Trump, and he’s proven to be an even worse version of the right. It feels this is true globally as well. Nobody has our interests in mind anymore. Corporatists and Globalists vs Oligarchs and Technocrats consolidating power and resource and selling out the 99.9% of the population. National pride seems to be just another form of division to keep people fighting with each other instead of finding a way out of this madness. Which makes sense if you want to have global world war somewhere in your exit strategy to Western Democracy.

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas: “Coming from a country that ranks second in the freedom of speech index, and for me to hear lectures about free speech from a country [the US] that ranks 58th in that same index is interesting”🇪🇺🇺🇸

@WhiteJesusLive @bruceami @Math_files Propoganda existed long before Nazi Germany…they burned witches before the printing press. Anyone trying to make propaganda any form of right vs left isn’t understanding that it existed before left vs right was a thing.

@bruceami @Math_files Not really a leftist thing. Propaganda was invented by Josef Göbbels. Not really a communist. And don’t come dragging with the Nazis = Communists. That’s pure bs.

Bayes’ theorem is probably the single most important thing any rational person can learn. So many of our debates and disagreements that we shout about are because we don’t understand Bayes’ theorem or how human rationality often works. Bayes’ theorem is named after the 18th-century Thomas Bayes, and essentially it’s a formula that asks: when you are presented with all of the evidence for something, how much should you believe it? Bayes’ theorem teaches us that our beliefs are not fixed; they are probabilities. Our beliefs change as we weigh new evidence against our assumptions, or our priors. In other words, we all carry certain ideas about how the world works, and new evidence can challenge them. For example, somebody might believe that smoking is safe, that stress causes mouth ulcers, or that human activity is unrelated to climate change. These are their priors, their starting points. They can be formed by our culture, our biases, or even incomplete information. Now imagine a new study comes along that challenges one of your priors. A single study might not carry enough weight to overturn your existing beliefs. But as studies accumulate, eventually the scales may tip. At some point, your prior will become less and less plausible. Bayes’ theorem argues that being rational is not about black and white. It’s not even about true or false. It’s about what is most reasonable based on the best available evidence. But for this to work, we need to be presented with as much high-quality data as possible. Without evidence—without belief-forming data—we are left only with our priors and biases. And those aren’t all that rational.

@3guys6ballsnfl Yes

Texans QB C.J. Stroud is eligible for a contract extension this offseason. If you’re the Houston Texans, are you paying him $50+ million a year?

@tkreidl @RepODLS Agreed. So how do we fix it, and why isn’t insulating at the state level worthy of consideration? States can block CU for their state. It has some merit to me. With trepidation for sure, but worthy of consideration.

@JDoc311 @RepODLS No, it isn't, but that's going to be a consequence of both past and current actions by politicians. It's no wonder people are by and large disgruntled with all politicians, given the lack of progress being made in so many areas. Volatility and real-world cost of living matter!

WTF?? House Republicans just introduced a measure to REPEAL the 17th Amendment of the US Constitution. They want to ban the people from voting for our US Senators. Instead, they want the Legislature to appoint our Senators. WTF are they thinking?
