When Stafford was in Detroit, he was seen as a tier below the Big Ben/Rivers/Romo level of QBs, nevermind the Peyton/Brady/Rodgers group. The idea he deserves to be first-ballot HOFer now is absolute nonsense. He’s closer to Rich Gannon and Matt Ryan than Brady/Rodgers

@EthicalHoopz I am also a Bucks fan. That team took the big swings that Nugget fans are calling for now. As a result, they have no hope and won't for years

Ethical Hoops🏆 (only takes Ws)
My take that is apparently a hot take is that the Nuggets should sign-and-trade Watson, make a couple small bench moves, and otherwise run it back

@EthicalHoopz Unless they are ok with going into the second apron, I'm not sure there are major moves to make. And as a fan, I'm not sure I want them to go into the second apron. It really restricts what they can do in the future.

Can I have one free shot at the craziest unfounded theory of the week? Ok, here goes: The almost inexplicable gathering of all the major administration figures from the president on down at the WHCD was a security version of a honeypot operation. The unprecedented roster of targets presented an irresistible temptation for hostile interests and was meant to smoke out disloyalty and corruption in the inner circle and the guardian class. And it may have worked. Insane novelist thinking, I know.

@BobMarshallX @Acyn Unlike Hannibal and Napoleon, Lee didn't start an unnecessary war that destroyed his country. William Lowndes Yancey, Robert Barnwell Rhett, Edmund Ruffin, and Jefferson Davis did that.

@BobMarshallX @Acyn R.E. Lee was like Hannibal in Italy or Napoleon in Russia. The only way he could win was if the enemy gave up. If the enemy kept fighting after losing battles or their capital, they would win.

Trump on Civil War: Why couldn't that have been settled? Maybe it could have been. Robert E. Lee was an amazing general. He took something that was supposed to end in a day and made it last four years. If Gettysburg didn’t happen, he would’ve won.

That time of month again where we: Never ask: A woman her age A man his salary The White House why the president is getting a secret medical procedure that makes him unable to do public appearances for the first 2-3 days of every month since September 2025.

@RossUglem I thought the league scuttlebutt was McCoy will play in 2026, but his knee will only hold up a few seasons.

@JackDavisMAGA @atrupar Spirit had just reorganized after an agreement with creditors that resulted in a much reduced debt load. Things were looking good for the airline. Three days later, Trump attacked Iran, and fuel prices went from 15% of Spirit's costs to 40%. So they had to go out of business.

Sean Duffy is 100% right. The Biden-Buttigieg DOJ blocked the JetBlue-Spirit merger to “protect consumers”… and now Spirit is dead, thousands of jobs are gone, and Americans will pay more for flights. This is what happens when Democrats play politics with the economy. Trump would have approved the merger and saved the airline.

@BobMarshallX @Acyn Why would the war have been over? The USA had huge armies in Mississippi, and Vicksburg fell that week. A third of the CSA was cut off. All the USA army in the east had to do was fight, win or lose, while Grant and Sherman rolled up one state after another. Ex-slaves joining.

@Acyn He was a great general but he never should have attacked at Gettysburg. The Union was on the high ground. All he needed to do was move south and position himself between Meade and Washington and the war would have been over.

@Acyn It really didn't matter who won or lost the battles in the east. They just needed to happen, while the US armies in the west rolled up most of the CSA. It was Winfield Scott's plan from the start of the war, and it worked.

@Acyn He's ignoring the army led by Grant and Sherman that was ready to sweep through the slave states. Two days after Gettysburg, Vicksburg fell. The USA controlled the entire Mississippi. Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas were cut off. Grant and Sherman could now march through the rest.

The Confederate government couldn't get some of its own senior officials and richest planters to pay taxes. The notion that it was going to get its act together and conquer Meso America, Latin America, and part of South America is beyond fanciful to put it kindly.
🇺🇸 The American Culturist 🇺🇸@MericaCulture

An interesting tidbit of history is that many prominent leaders in the Confederacy, including Jefferson Davis, had dreams of a tropical empire that spanned the Gulf of America and extended down into South America. How different would our world be if this had come to fruition?

@hotdamhistorian For 300 years, Chinese leaders tried to make China great again by: relying on domestic industry rather than trade, disengaging from international institutions, stopping immigration, and treating foreigners like inferiors. It didn't work.

@hotdamhistorian For 300 years, China's governments (Qing and Communist) tried to limit as much as possible trade and communication with the rest of the world. China's greatness is shown by the fact that this only caused a slow decline and by its steep recovery when it opened to the world again.
