@TheoAshNFL Jim harbaugh led football teams can’t have fun another season of setting up Herbert to fail
English
@bie75125 @tylerjschoon There's no such thing as a quality camp casualty lol
English
@tylerjschoon We also are sitting on 45.8 million in cap. Could add Bitonio to the guard room and will find some quality camp casualties to add some competition in camp. Let’s let the offseason roll play out
English
If nothing else, center is taken care of for (I hope) 10+ years. I think it was 800-something days between Linsley's last game and them signing Biadasz.
Jocke@Junks1891
@tylerjschoon They got the guy they thought was the best center in the draft. In a year or two he will be starting at that position. Until then they will try him at guard. Didn’t know anything about the player but I trust Hortiz and the staff with the players they select. Love this for #10
English
@JDjoshsan @tylerjschoon Issue becomes McDaniel has not had the post-season success largely because his Oline gets walked
English
@tylerjschoon Yeah, I can understand not having much faith in Strange/Penning/Awosika/Cleveland, but with this OC not putting much value on guards with his scheme this makes sense.
If the concern is more of Y2 after McDaniels I share that, but for Y1 we have to let him use his scheme
English
This isn't a perfect example, but Jets IOL Joe Tippmann only had 11 college G snaps to 1445 C snaps. He started four games at RG before having to play C the rest of the way.
Notable is the Chad Alexander connection. Tippmann was taken 44th.
La-dee-dee Mc-Con-kay⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️@SunnySideUp211
Players who were Centers in College who play or played Guard in NFL. A lot of these names I recognize. James Daniels Graham Glasnow Elgton Jenkins ( y’all wanted him in FA ) Connor Williams Caesar Ruiz Landon Dickerson
English
Toche' on that but we don't know how much say MM had in Miami. Their GM Grier was pretty bad overall and fans wanted him run off badly and then they jettisoned many players when he was run off.
MM gives his type & seems they all agree on a player. Don't know if Grier was that way
English
1000% he does. Of course he does. No one is arguing that.
I would also like to point out that the second-round guard he took last year gave up 45 pressures and eight sacks.
Go Utes@bie75125
@tylerjschoon @sd1991x Didn’t Harbaugh say McDanie is the head coach of the offense. I think he knows what IOL he wants in his system more that you or this toxic fanbase.
English
@Nadsgonnadie @alexkatson He has no choice but to lean into a win now mode because he's easier to fire than Harbaugh
English
@alexkatson I like the player and the pick but it doesn't really align with their quiet FA and Hortiz's general "Never go all in" philosophy, surprised they went with him over Parker/Faulk/Malachi.
English
slept on the Mesidor pick. still don't love it but the Chargers obviously feel as though their window to win is right now and at minimum his alignment versatility will allow them to throw pretty nasty nascar packages at teams. guy plays with a great motor. hope it works out

@callhimbenbacon @krisrhim1 No... We had surplus cap this year. Ed McGuire wrote the contracts so the hard reset was only one season. Hortiz doesn't write fucking contract or spend money.
English
@ibanezsam4 @krisrhim1 Cap was bad prior to 2023 and 2024 and there were still dead cap casualties in 2025. This is the first year we are completely free, thanks to hortiz
English
Q to Joe Hortiz: "Do you think we'll ever see you go on a crazy spending spree in free agency?"
Hortiz: "Externally?"
"Probably not. Probably not. I just believe in building through the draft and I believe in paying the players you know. That's how I was raised.
English
@callhimbenbacon @krisrhim1 Because we only had one cap-strapped year. That's why.
English
@krisrhim1 After 2022s all in year set us back the next 3 years, idk how people can hate on this. Fanbase looking for march and April dopamine hits lmao

It's worth remembering that Mr. Winegard lost his faculty position a few years ago for claiming what yesterday's David Reich paper found: That evolution occurred in the human brain after humans left Africa, and that this drove increases in intelligence in Europeans and Asians.
Bo Winegard@EPoe187
The ultimate triumph of hereditarianism seems to me more or less assured. It is supported by theory and by overwhelming evidence. Arguments against it are now almost exclusively moralistic. Critics denounce; they do not grapple with data.

@Steve_Sailer @KlausJennings @nathancofnas Majority of all technology produced in the west, like 99%, was done by high IQ whites. Isreal has an average IQ of 90 and there is nothing special about them. Most Jewish IQ studies are laughable. 130 IQ Whites outnumber 130 Jews 100 to 1.
English
@nathancofnas Is it silly to contend that people of West Africa descent are more likely to win the Olympic 100m sprint and people of East African highland descent are more likely to win the 10,000m?
English
@slbrown1239 @Eric_BIGfund @BillAckman Gonna burst your bubble here. American manufacturing was well into its decline before Amazon turned a profit. Another hard pill: American made doesn't not mean premium. It just means higher prices for average
English
@Eric_BIGfund @BillAckman I’m not an Amazon apologetic … they + Walmart destroyed main street, American Manufacturing and Choice + Variety + Quality in consumer goods ….
but Amazon took YEARS to turn a profit … Bezos worked for what he has … at first.
English
Bezos had the vision, took the risk, and built Amazon from nothing. Since founding, Amazon has employed roughly 11.5 million worker-years globally, paid about $47.7 billion in disclosed cash income taxes since 2002 alone, and its U.S. workforce has likely generated another roughly $35–45 billion in federal income and payroll taxes. That’s before counting the value created for 200M+ Prime members and 300M+ active customers worldwide whose quality of life has been vastly improved by Amazon.
And you, in your infinite wisdom, want to financially punish the creator of Amazon?
Elizabeth Warren@SenWarren
Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

@VoidAtoms @avidseries Had an English professor say the same thing and casually told her she was correct with exception to bone density, muscle density, heart size, speed capacity, spatial processing, and disproportionate baselines for strength expression and she just stared.
English
@avidseries I had an English teacher in 9th grade who was the first person I've ever heard say that there was no difference in physical abilities between men and women. The students all thought she was insane. Very weird to have such a fringe belief become mainstream
English
A local team consisting of 14 year-old boys soundly defeated the US women's national team in 2017.
The Australia women's national team lost 7-0 to a club of 15 year-old boys in 2016, and the Swiss women's national team 7-1 to a team consisting of 14 year-old boys in 2025.
Janet Murray@jan_murray
Guardian columnist Zoe Williams claims the reason we don't have mixed football teams is because “women are too good”. 🙄 Now, I’m no expert on football - but you don’t need to be. You can see it with your own eyes. Watch an elite men’s match and an elite women’s match side by side. The men are, on average, quicker, stronger and more powerful - which changes the pace, intensity and physicality of the game. Saying that doesn’t diminish women’s football. It’s simply acknowledging reality. Men’s and women’s football are different - because men and women are different. This isn’t really about Williams - it’s about the kind of baseless arguments that get bandied around to justify men in women’s sports and spaces. Including by women themselves.
English
@Irish_Eyes1 @wil_da_beast630 What you choose to believe and what is reality are (thankfully) two different things
English
@wil_da_beast630 I just don’t believe women who ask for this stuff really enjoy it, in most cases. They are competing with ever more extreme porn and want to be seen by their partner as sexually wild and up for anything.
English
"An entire generation of women" is not going to be "paralyzed" by light choking that they ask for and anal sex on Valentine's Day.
Is there a rule that twitter poasters have to sound like the most extreme hysterics possible? Are we breaking it?
English
@aripolsky @coldxman Military aid is how the industrial complex has funded itself without needing a traditional 20th century war. Israel is an easy customer because of their geopolitical situation. Most NATO countries with iron dome tech haven't needed to resupply to the same degree
English
@coldxman I have no problem admitting that the Israel lobby is effective. They definitely punch above their weight based on the metrics you mention. But there's nothing necessarily nefarious about that. It's (until recently) popular with most Americans and also in our national interest.
English
@RudolphTroha @wil_da_beast630 Or - more accurately - their actions are a demonstration of our influence in the region. This makes way more sense when you (correctly) evaluate the US interest at the top of the food chain
English
@wil_da_beast630 I think it's perfectly fair to criticize the disproportionate amount of influence they exert over US foreign policy and how and why that happens, but I don't think it's "the joos", which is a ridiculous line of thinking.
English
Israel is a tiny state a world away, that we value as an ally but give 1/3,000th of the federal budget to.
A lot of online right-wing takes seem increasingly hysterical.
Leonarda Jonie@Leonardaisfunny
Pretty sure America doesn't exist anymore & this country is an Israeli colony. Goys are put in leadership positions so we still think we have a country but all of them are employees of the occupying government and all policy is dictated by Israel.
English
@Erikk_10 @wil_da_beast630 The real reason is all of Israel's "evils" are true of the United States, although I'd argue to a significantly lesser degree given that Israeli aggressions are geographically limited whereas our are all over the fucking map
English
@avidseries @mehdirhasan What an ignorant and imprecise statement. How many have Jews killed in religiously motivated violence? Is the Zionist state of Israel not religiously motivated when it kills 70,000 Palestinians in 2 years?
English
John Cleese is a perfect example of Dunning Kruger. Spends all his day tweeting incessantly about the evils of Islam, misquoting the Quran, attacking Sadiq Khan, and making points about comparative religion that are demonstrably wrong. Buddhist extremists don't kill their religious enemies? Go to Burma. Hindu extremists don't kill their religious enemies? Go to India. Catholic extremists don't kill their religious enemies? Go to Northern Ireland.
FFS.
John Cleese@JohnCleese
Does this silly little man not understand that Islam is a very aggressive belief system, threatening death to anyone who does not convert to Islam The Buddhists, the Taoists, the Scottish Presbyterians, the Hindus and the Sikhs and the Confucians and the Catholics don't go
