@ProFootballTalk You just need to say it out loud that you despise Rogers because he had the courage to not take the covid vaccine because it was his his choice not to inject an experimental drug in his body against the misplaced moral concreteness to do so but he shouldn't have lied that he did

When Aaron Rodgers spoke to reporters on Wednesday, he was asked a fairly innocuous question about what he's been doing since he returned to Pittsburgh. His response was interesting, to say the least. nbcsports.com/nfl/profootbal…

@dpshow Least we forgot the Steelers did win the AFC North last year and the Ravens had Lamar & Harbaugh & the Bengals have the same offense. The Steelers were 10 - 7 in 25, 24 & 23. They plugged and played Big Ben in 04 because the Steelers don't reset.

"I'm glad he's back, it's a storyline, it's all about content for me – but if I'm a #Steelers fan, I'm like, 'Okay, here we go again.'" – DP on Aaron Rodgers returning to the Steelers for one final season.

@RealMattFradd I would have loved to hear what Malcom's thoughts on Tolkien's relationship with the other Inkling Owen Barfield.

CS Lewis' Shocking Review of The Lord of the Rings

@MarkKaboly Now that 8 has a deal now we can watch Mack stroke out on having to many QB's in the QB room on Kaboly & Mack...He just needs to relax that his ole buddy Kaboom has the facts.... That boys head is going to explode and you will need Higgins Painting to white wash the room

@bybrendanhowe @PghSteelersNow That game was on 10/17/2010 not 2020. I was at that game and James Harrison wasn't in the league in 2020.

Ever wonder what it’s like to get bodied by ex-#Steelers OLB James Harrison? Former Browns WR Josh Cribbs on the aftermath of him and Mohamed Massaquoi both getting KO’d by Deebo in 2020: “(Massaquoi didn’t) know what he was doing in the shower.” #HereWeGo

@ChanceEverly @D4rk_n3ws @NinjaAlex420 That's because the successor of the Templar's was the Military Order of Christ & it was Prince Henry the Navigator from Portugal that took up the task of looking for Prester John that the age of discovery took hold. Columbus had the Templar cross on his ships. Not the Jesuits

@D4rk_n3ws @NinjaAlex420 I went to Portugal in 2023 on a Templar Tour…quite fascinating. Sintra was magical, erie at the same time… Any thoughts?

The Knights Templar were not destroyed in 1307–1312. They went underground, survived through the Knights Hospitallers/Knights of Malta, and re-emerged as the Jesuit Order (Society of Jesus) founded by Ignatius Loyola in 1540. Today, the Templars (as Jesuits) secretly control: • The City of London (via Inner & Middle Temple) • Global banking & legal systems • Freemasonry (highest degree = Knights Templar) • The British Monarchy (Crown as a cover) • The Vatican/Papacy • The Illuminati (another Templar front) This is the “real heart of the New World Order conspiracy.” All symbols (sunburst/IHS, Pegasus/white horse, red Templar cross) prove the direct lineage. The ultimate goal ties back to Babylonian mystery schools, Phoenician/Canaanite occult priests, and control of Jerusalem.

@Philheur 3) Then production moved to Japan and now it has moved to China and Indonesia. The workers are trapped in wages and if they were paid by equity then communities have a stake hold with industries. The private central planners can't have this because capital moves from them.

Or: Capital, the Public Sphere, and the Invisible Human It is often said that the modern economy is driven by private initiative and market efficiency. Yet this view becomes distorted when it forgets the role of the public sphere—not as a burden on productivity, but as its very condition of possibility. The issue is not that one nation or system has “become a corporation” per se, but that economic thinking has narrowed around a single assumption: that capital must accumulate indefinitely in order to remain meaningful. This assumption quietly reshapes institutions, incentives, and even our understanding of value. But capital, in a healthy system, cannot only accumulate—it must also circulate, transform, and dissolve. There is a phase in which capital must “die” as private accumulation in order to reappear as shared capacity: education, infrastructure, law, culture, and the conditions that make future creation possible. When capital enters the public sphere in this way, it does not become unproductive; it becomes foundational. The problem is that this transformation is poorly recognized. Why? Because the human being—especially in their creative, organizing, and meaning-generating capacities—is largely invisible in dominant economic models. What is visible is labor as output, the body as a unit of production, the measurable as the only form of value. What remains unseen is that all capital originates in human faculties that cannot be reduced to metrics alone: insight, coordination, imagination, trust. These are not “externalities”—they are the source. If this were fully acknowledged, investment would not be understood merely as financial deployment, but as cultivation of human potential. The public sphere—education systems, legal frameworks, civic institutions—would be recognized not as drains on value, but as the very environments in which value is formed. Instead, a polarity has been constructed: - the public sphere is framed as inefficient and unproductive - the private sphere is framed as creative and generative Yet this opposition is misleading. The entrepreneur does not arise in isolation; their capacities are shaped within shared cultural and institutional contexts. Even the most innovative activity presupposes a background of stability, education, and law. When this is forgotten, distortions emerge: -;the role of the public sphere is diminished - growth is pursued without regard for balance or reintegration - the human being is reduced to a functional unit rather than recognized as a source of value At the limit, this leads to a weakening of the rule of law and the emergence of extractive dynamics—systems that resemble coordination on the surface, but operate more like structured opportunism. The rule of law is not an obstacle to economic life; it is what makes it possible. It creates the shared ground within which trust, exchange, and long-term activity can exist. To neglect this is to move toward a one-sided system—one that risks undermining not only economic coherence, but the human capacities on which it depends.

@Philheur 2) I live in a town that was the tin platting capital of the world in 1890 - 1920's and how did that come about well they put tariffs up and destroyed tin platting in Wales and many Welch had to immigrate to New Castle PA for jobs. Then all of the mills consolidated and it died

@Philheur 1) I use to believe in capitalism but as I get older it's a ruse for private central planning. The public sphere is used to lay the groundwork for the private sphere where true ownership is hidden. Blackrock owns Fidelity owns Goldman's who owns Blackrock.

@PatMcAfeeShow Hopewell Vikings

Paul Posluszny looks like a SUPERHERO 😂😂 He's HYSTERICAL #PMSLive

@awfulannouncing Chris Simms said he is out on Football Night in America on PFT Live & he was informed last week.

Mike Tomlin makes NBC debut, thinks Aaron Rodgers will return to Steelers awfulannouncing.com/nbc/mike-tomli…

@PageauJonathan @BretWeinstein @jgreenhall 2) The "problem" arises, according to Steiner, when such ideas are not brought into the public realm of action but are kept private, becoming merely individual, "utopian" fantasies or static "party matters"

I had a wonderful few days of discussion with @BretWeinstein and @jgreenhall last week. It culminated in this podcast in which I feel Jordan Hall did a much better job formulating ideas than I did! Hope you all enjoy.

@PageauJonathan @BretWeinstein @jgreenhall 1) Rudolf Steiner viewed true ideology (or idealism) as a public, active, and communal endeavor, designed to be shared and realized within the social, political, or cultural spheres of life.

@RossTuckerNFL The NIL year to year will make the cream rise to the top & if they stay longer, they are more mature & experienced when they enter into the NFL . This also means that underclassman players will not be pushing out the NFL veterans. This could be an advantage for the NFLPA.

This is a temporary “issue” that will cycle out in a year or two and likely overstated by this scout. Plenty of guys in this year’s draft would’ve been picked even HIGHER in last year’s draft. Off top of my head QBs like Nussmeier & Klubnik or a bunch of the Penn State guys like Allar, Singleton, Dennis-Sutton, etc.

@BostonConnr 4) The Tigers coached by Paul Brown then won 33 straight games making the New Castle loss the only defeat in 60 games. The jag offs from Picksburgh forgot to mention this in their history...always treating the castle as a red headed step child and stealing our Zambelli fireworks

Watched this and thought how cool it would be for there to be one about Massachusetts Then I remembered this is just about ONE city Pittsburgh is a special place and this documentary highlights how football centric it really is Couldn’t recommend this doc more

@BostonConnr 3)Perhaps the most memorable game of the long Bridenbaugh reign came at Massillon, Ohio, in 1937 when New Castle upset the host Tigers, considered one of the strongest teams in the nation. New Castle’s 7-0 victory ended a Massillon 26 game, winning streak.

@BostonConnr 2)After Philip H. Bridenbaugh became head coach of the New Castle High School football team in 1922, he soon established it as a football power. His team in his first year posted eight victories, no losses and one tie and outscored the opposition, 229-54.

@BostonConnr 1) New Castle became one of the first high school teams in the country to play night football, in 1929, when lights were installed at Franklin Field, now known as Taggart Stadium. More than 12,000 fans crowded into stadium seats for big games in the 1940s & 1950s.

@MarkKaboly Florio will poo poo the numbers because he says they are not real and his buddy Fillipponi is being pressed by Big Cat on Barstool for saying he might quit his job if Allar was drafted by the Steelers... He's got eyes on it. The 2 most insufferable people in sports media.
