    The media doesn't do It for no reason , look who owns the major media companies and newspapers. You are obviously seeing a pattern with the kap story. The media doesn't wander aimlessly especially in regards to race. The people who matter make sure their functionaries(journalists, tv stations , newspaper editors ) do what they want in our media. And yea it's pretty cringe to watch but it's the reality right now.

    Edited my post, cause I have to highlight you see a pattern and it's precisely true , they don't want aimlessly at all. They claim we "chase" the facts and that leads us to the story , wherever that may go". Lol...

    And your 100% right about the kap debate being nowhere to discuss complex issues. But like I said emotion over logic. Complaining over problem solving. And also its identity politics. The identity politics won't help or smarten up debate. It's only going to rise.

    All the people who used to complain about Synder meddling with team are now praising him for doing so since he has decided to step in on the Kirk contract issue. I guess he got tired of Bruce trying to be too cheap, even though he likes Kirk. Dan stepping in clearly shows he likes Kirk. So why was Scot let go again? :whistling:

    Clear as day that Scot wanted to move on from Kirk and Bruce butt heads with him and Dan ended up siding with Bruce on the issue.

    My pessimism appears validated. We brought in Kouandijo for a visit a few days ago, is he any good, outside of having an odd encounter with the police?

    I thought he was good actually. A lot of bills fans don't tho , he's not as bad at pass blocking as they say when I compare him with other rts. And his attitude was good in buffalo

    I'd like to think we could get him to unlock some of the potential he showed in college, but he's probably an irredeemable scrub at this point.

    @Harambe Alvinegro, any idea why your Houston video got taken down? I didn't get to watch it.


    EDIT: Also, in your Patriots breakdown I had a bit of a chuckle when you said people thought Van Noy was good in coverage. Belichick must've used some serious black magic to make that happen if true, cuz Van Noy couldn't cover ANYTHING in Detroit. As terrible as our linebackers were at coverage all year, they still made major strides forward in coverage when Van Noy was traded.

    No idea, it said it was bad content and did not give a reason , just like a broad list. We were just talking football so I have no idea , and it won't let us appeal yet so I have to send an email. Now with this strike we can't livestream until September which will hurt my output with lawson inquires because it takes so bloody long to upload a video without a live stream. So I will send an email begging to my YouTube overlords. I could see if it was for that Rams video but this wasn't even logical. We had a guest on that Houston podcast too. Was like 38 minutes long

    I've heard plenty of horror stories about how YouTube treats content creators that find themselves on the wrong side of either their automated takedown algorithms or systematic report campaigns attempting to take down vids. They have gained a reputation for being brutally unresponsive and troublesome to deal with even for larger channels with resources. I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully you can get it sorted out.

    Glad to know it happens to others. We should be able to work around it.

    He's better than Kirk and you want us to bend over backwards and pay him more than Carr?

    I guess Carr has now set the baseline for Stafford's negotiations.

    @Harambe Alvinegro, I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of the Lions in their over-under podcast. This team still has a lot of holes and, as I said earlier, I fully expect Detroit to be a 5-7 win team this year.

    Yea, I had to go at them hard. Schedule doesn't break easy either. Plus the comments on that video were delusional from Lions fans. Saying i'm a dumbass for not thinking Abdullah is a legit number 1, ect. It's youtube and shiitposting is normal but the Lions fans who were commenting genuinely were thinking 11-13 wins.

    Yeah. The amount of things that would have to go right for 11-13 wins to happen IMO are pretty crazy:
    1 Jarrad Davis would have to instantaneously become, like, the second coming of Ray Lewis and elevate this sorry LB core to being good.
    2. Teez Tabor would have to become shutdown besides Slay.
    3. A'Shawn Robinson would have to make a massive leap forward to provide interior pass-rush. Ansah would have to stay healthy and return to All-Pro form. Hyder would have to keep up the level he did last year.
    4. Cyrus Kouandijo needs to be at least solid in place of Decker and the offensive line needs to become on par with Oakland's or Atlanta's.
    5. Ebron needs to take a massive leap forward, Abdullah needs to stay completely healthy and showcase bellcow qualities, and Golladay needs to contribute.

    IF all those things happen, then Detroit gets 11-13 Ws. I see none of those things happening. The confidence of your Detroit subs is totally baseless, and I don't get it.

    Why would you feel the need to write an article about the stuff you're not going to write about? Just don't write about it and save the energy and time. Unless you're passive-aggressively writing about the stuff you said you weren't going to write about... SMH, people sometimes...
