Best part of the sketch for me was, the first two menu items Terry Jones read didn’t have any spam in it 😂

Summer before last I hit the Spam Museum in Austin, MN.  They have an exhibit devoted to Monty Python’s take on Spam.

Because you didn't understand the reference was to the previous sentence 'last season' you can strawman a ridiculous statement?  If your a wentzersnacker it doesn't really matter I guess.

How would either of them compile a 26-21 record last season? There's only 16 games in a season.  Your biased math makes no sense.

Peter King voted for Cole Beasley for 1st Team All Pro. Just remember that next time you see his opinion on something and whether you should take it seriously or not.

I agree he is very overrated as a sportswriter. He is well-spoken, but I think that overshadows that he really doesn't really do a lot of leg work on his stories. Sure, he travels to visit teams, but I've always felt that he doesn't really study teams' rosters or know their needs/issues.

And I totally and completely disagree with you.  On many different levels.  I believe you may have been manipulated and possibly indoctrinated by believing there is such thing as "news," and potentially trusting what you have seen or read from "traditional" sources.

If you are sure that I am wrong, and you are correct, perhaps you can show me justifications for the myriad of examples I cited of obvious fraud.  For example, how do you explain why the republican candidate performed at historic highs among minorities in every metropolitan area, but got killed in 5 metro areas of major "swing states?"  Not suspicious at all, I know.  "Just takes time to count those votes."  

There are multiple issues with trying to "prove" election fraud to a standard acceptable by a court.  One, the access to evidence is tightly controlled and limited by definition.  Two, there are arbitrary timelines imposed that make the task practically impossible (in a "normal" timeframe without limitations, it would be quite easy in many cases, but these types of cases takes months and years).  Three, there is limited case law available and few judges want to set the precedent of being the arbiters of election results, undoubtedly some fear becoming the story, getting it wrong or putting themselves in harms way.  Four, some (many?) judges at the highest levels are part of the system and often have a vested interest in the preservation of the desired outcome.

 

You didn't provide any examples of fraud.  You only pointed demographic changes and how the votes are counted every year.  There are statistical variations and Trump did better with some voters but much worse with others.  Trump got some more minority support but not majority minority support.  He lost ground among college educated white voters.  https://www.brookings.edu/research/2020-exit-polls-show-a-scrambling-of-democrats-and-republicans-traditional-bases/  That's why states like Arizona and Georgia swung democratic.  

Fraud is hard to carry out in elections.  There are checks on it that have been historically effective in preventing fraud in the United States.  Your accusations about software are just untrue and have been proven untrue.  As to it being hard to get the evidence, nothing could be further from the truth.  Democrats and Republicans in NC had concerns about how the local state boards of elections were reviewing absentee ballots because of changes to the absentee ballot law.  Each party had direct access to the ballot envelopes within a day of filing requests with the state board of election.  The information isn't hidden and inaccessible.  It is openly counted. Additionally who voted and is registered to vote is public.  Votes correspond to the people registered.  If someone is dead, registered in 2 places or the votes tabulated don't match the registered voters that information is also publicly available.  There was no evidence of any of that on any kind of widespread basis.  It just didn't happen.

Not that Beasley deserved first team all pro whatsoever but he was actually pretty good this year in 15 games. 82 catches for 967 and 4 tds. If he plays week 17 he goes over 1000 yards. He finished 21st and 23rd in receptions and receiving yards.

Wentz has been held accountable, hes a laughingstock and regularly destroyed in the national media.  The people who call him a "baby" are so woefully misinformed its not worth discussion.  Sure, hes a baby.  A guy who tried playing on a torn up knee and broken back, total baby. 

Wentz has all the leverage right now and he is using it wisely, remaining silent.  If the Eagles do continue looking like buffoons, maybe he does request a trade.  Either way, its his choice and not the Eagles. 

The Eagles literally blew the 2020 season in every way imaginable

Can't say I agree, at least not fully. I don't think anyone, no matter how critical of Wentz they may be, has ever questioned his physical courage. I would agree that Doug did him no favors this season. It may also be true that too many cooks (OC by committee) may have messed up his head. That does not change the fact that he played poorly and repeated his mistakes game after game after game. Holding the ball. Backing out of the pocket. Ill advised throws. Not seeing wide open receivers. Fumbles.

Did the drafting of Hurts affect him? I don't know. If it did, then the sobriquet "baby" may not be misplaced. But again, I don't know.

He regressed. That seems to me to be undeniable.

The links you posted all have fairly simple rebuttals explaining how those outcomes could happen. The good news is that the long-term fixes are simple (count mail-in ballots ahead of time + require ID to vote). In Canada, we send voter ID cards to compensate for those who are unfairly discriminated against because they can't afford for example, a passport or driver's license.

Bringing it back to football, even with simple solutions (fire Howie), it takes people with the stomach to do it.

I like the voter ID card information.  Sounds like a good idea.  I need to read more on that. Thanks for sharing.

Please name the players that Doug and Howie have put around Wentz to make him comfortable. And before I get called whatever the next stupid adjective is people want to use when a person has the outright gall to challenge even the most ridiculous Wentz hatred posts. I agree this year Wentz hasn't played well. 

I am not a Wentz hater and you can look at my prior posts as a basis for this. It is just tiresome to see the lack of accountability that has a general tenor of his time as QB. One thing I've learned as the leader of thousands of employees is that good leadership starts with the ability to say "what have I done to contribute to the current situation" rather than "It's not working because of all these people around me." Wentz played poorly all on his own and other than "I have to do better" has shown no awareness of how he contributes to the team's lack of success. Could he have had more success with Hopkins and Diggs, yes! would it have stopped him from overthrowing receivers and making bad ball control decisions, no.

Seemed like you placed all the blame on the Eagles. I think Wentz shares in it, in at least equal part.

Here's something I'm confused on.  There were 4 PS guys called up to the active roster for the last game.  Do they now have contracts going in to next year?  Do they have to be signed to new future deals like the rest of the PS or are they considered to be active NFL players?

He's played well, but not first team all pro level. King is just trying to be edgy, but failing with his take.

Makes sense.  If all states handled elections like Florida does now, they could not fix elections anymore.  So it will never happen.  But voter ID, a lock down process of request and verification for absentee voting, and allowing for early in person voting would do it.  The only reason to oppose this would be because you want the ability to commit fraud.

There are very few people that can't get a drivers license.  I would challenge anyone to find 18 year olds that don't have a cell phone.  The discrimination angle is a myth.  It's racist to suggest a minority can't figure it out and get an ID in my opinion.

I don't want to talk politics, I'll stop.  Whomever wants the last word can have it.  

My 84 year old father in law cannot drive.  He owns a flip phone.  He cannot wait at the DMV on their hard chairs, his body cannot take it.  Fortunately, Texas allows folks over 65 to vote by mail.  No ID required.  Social Security records used to purge the voter rolls when people die.  One of my children does not own a car and travels by public transportation.  She has neighbors who have never driven a car.  Getting an ID for some is a huge burden because the DMV hours coincide with their work hours. Why is a concealed carry permit a valid ID but not a student ID?  Sounds like Canada has a good solution.

If you are talking about Ostman, Houston, Wanogho and Countess they need to be signed deals. Everyone but Wanogho has signed a futures deal.

If you mean guys like Rashad Smith and Jason Croom who went onto the roster after Bradley and Riley went on IR, they should be signed for next year already and not need a deal.

And please point out all the posters that think nothing is Wentz' fault. It doesn't need to be said time and time again does it? Ruining of Wentz from the organizations end is that they never give him good players around him, not since 2017 anyways. So can someone say that without having to ad that Wentz didn't play well?

The QBs regressed or didn’t improve.  The passing game was abysmal.  Commonality? Press Taylor, the Passing Game Coordinator/QB coach.  Why are we five days removed from the end of the season and he is still employed here?  In addition to hiring an OC and DC, they need to hire a new QB coach.

First of all, it wasn't me that you quoted. Second, I have seen absolutely zero posters that don't think at least a portion belongs with Wentz. Equal I would argue with you on but nobody thinks that he played well this year and I would also argue with you that Wentz is a baby.
