Pure incompetence: Secretary of Defense

Listening to him speak is just completely jaw dropping. The man didn’t even tell the President he was diagnosed with cancer. Then gets admitted to the hospital.

Seriously, how in the hell does a person in that position not inform The President of these things IMMEDIATELY? How does a person in that position not have someone on their staff who wouldn’t inform the President immediately whether ordered to or not?

It’s lunacy. We aren’t talking about the damn Secretary of some obscure task which would be terrible given the same situation. This is The Secretary of Defense who didn’t have the damn sense to do what is right and obvious and inform the President. This is basic level stuff even a janitor at McDonald’s knows to do. What else isn’t he doing? How bad is his judgement really?

Goodness……

OT: RV/Towable Camper Needed for Monday in Marfa for My Movie (PLEASE DM ME)

Hey gang-

As you may have seen from my recent post, I am shooting my very first movie out here in Marfa, TX. Overall, things couldn't have gone better so far two weeks in and based on the dailies I've been seeing, we really do have something special here.

That being said, we have suddenly run into a production snag, and so I thought I'd reach out to my OB Family to see if anyone might be able to help.

Unfortunately, the "gentlemen" we had rented a towable camper from has suddenly up and rescinded the contract we had with him out of nowhere, and now we need a replacement for this coming Monday out here in Marfa. Basically, all we really are using this for is as the restroom for our cast and crew when we are out shooting in the middle of nowhere on a desert road.

Obviously, I'm more than happy to discuss terms and film credit for anyone who can help, plus my personal eternal gratitude of course.

So, if you personally think you might be able to help, or are able to put me in touch with someone who you believe can, please send me a direct message and I'll be happy to hop on a call with you to discuss it further.

Thanks in advance, and Hook 'Em!

Full DL vs OL 1 on 1's from Senior Bowl Practice (Sweat and Jones)

It showed 1 rep of Jones at what looks like RG, but it was just a very weird alignment where there was no guard and he lined up next to the center with no one on this right side.

Jones looks real impressive to me. I wonder if he's now a day 1 guy. 3rd round? Does he sneak into maybe the 2nd?

AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am - Lots of changes

https://golf.com/news/pebble-beach-...rray played to a 17,Bill Murray or Ray Romano.

Hope that link works.

Now a signature event with no cut. Amateurs only Thursday and Friday and have to be a low handicap.

No Bill Murray, Ray Romano, etc. I like seeing those guys hack around but those long rounds kept top players from entering.

It will have Scheffler, Rory, etc so that’s better than seeing Bill Murray.

Today's Gift (2-2)

Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and harder to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say "My tooth is aching" than to say "My heart is broken."

We talk a lot here at TG about recovery from alcohol and substance addiction, as well we should. Those are the forces that led DD to build the Gift, and we should never lose sight of that. In recent weeks, however, I've had communication from others on OB who are dealing with a different form of addiction---daughters and other women in their lives who suffer from an eating disorder. I've done a little work in that community, and it can be heart-breaking. Like alcoholism or substance abuse, it can also be fatal, but where the alcoholic is addicted to something that is harmful, the eating disorder sufferer is addicted to avoiding something that is essential to life.

No one really knows the "why." There are many theories, most with some validity, but treatment is still uncertain. It most often strikes adolescent girls, and those parents are hurting. Some of them will lose a precious little girl. From the moment of birth, dads of daughters instinctively vow to protect their girls from every threat, only to later face the prospect of losing them to a demon they cannot see or understand. Society probably plays a role, at least with the girls. Give a listen sometime to Carrie Underwood's "Nobody Ever Told You."

These folks need our prayers and best wishes too. The same faith that supports recovery will support these families too. Let's hope and pray that our OB brothers find faith and success.

Blessings, lads and lasses. Enjoy your Friday. Happy Groundhog Day.

OT: Apollo Creed was a better Champion than Rocky Balboa

I'm here to argue that Apollo Creed was the far better Boxer/Champion than Rocky ever was.

Apollo was 47 -0 -2 with 46 by KO. His two losses were the one in Rocky 2 where Rocky probably benefitted from a long count and should have had the fight stop for the beating he took.

He then agrees to train Rocky after the Clubber Lang loss. Even in retirement he's in better shape and more skilled than Rocky at the start of their training. Leading Rocky's corner he helps him regain the title.

How does Rocky repay him, he agrees to be in Apollo's corner and gets him killed vs Drago.

Long live The King of Sting and The Count of Monte Fisto. The Prince of Punch, The Master of Disaster.

57 Super Bowl rings, 57 stories

I found this on ESPN but didn’t read it all. I mainly looked at all the Super Bowl rings from each game as they rotated 360 degrees.

I realize Dallas won’t win another but have seen my city win 6 championships, including in all 4 major sports. I’ve been pretty lucky I suppose, although no city has seen more sports championships over the past 10-15 years than Boston.

Todd Dodge is back- how'd he ever fail @ UNT?


One of the TX HS FB coaches greatest ever is back.

How did he ever fail at UNT? Did he just suck at recruiting or something? Because he's won everywhere else.

As an aside- I do wish UNT still used the darker color of green that they used before he brought that crappy Southlake kelly green in.

Biden Shows Trump how to handle Sexual Assault


Looks like Biden "can't control himself" any more than Trump can.

Shameful and yet another cover up for the Biden crime family.
