It will be miraculous if Jonas can go toe to toe with pog. There's way more talent in the tour though, I'm holding out hope it won't be pog's playground even with his strength of team. CRod or remco or rog on a good day can give him a scare. Maybe Jorgenson? He's still on the ascendency. Outside of freak circumstances I don't believe anyone else has the chops to challenge.

I still think most likely pog wins and UAE get another podium too, but hopefully we see a bit of life in the GC battle before then. Best case Jonas clings on as he races back to form and we get the showdown we dreamed of week three.

Saw him sitting with a beer in the fan zone watching his son at the WC last year. I can believe his finances have gone to shit, and that he's not in a good place in any number of other ways (seems like ex pro athletes are at quite high risk for this type of outcome). But thankfully he has not lost "everything". For what it's worth, I'm sure the whole cycling community still admires him and is rooting for his success and happiness, in however he chooses to define that.

OK so you're just here to strawman and insult. Thanks for outing yourself.

I don't see it. And who gives a shit what the logo is? Is this all journalism has to offer?Bacon sandwich-gate tier piss taking...

Just an example, take caring for my kids or decorating my house or even working out if you don't like that one. What do you mean by "the other direction"?

AV was a different kettle of fish. Garbage turnout and masses of undecideds in polling. I don't think anyone ever thought it was nailed on even if technically AV was ahead in some polls. Point stands though.

It is tricky to make something both snappy and accurate. I think anti-JOB might have worked better, but it sounds like a sex strike, so don't put me in charge of marketing.

When I dig my garden I am doing work. That obviously entails no wage labour let alone labour exploitation. Why is it hard to belive people might be against wage labour in its present form but not against fulfilling, self directed labour?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Black lives matter is the least hyperbolic statement of that movement imaginable. That there was pushback even on that framing speaks more to the vile ess of its opponents than to a failure of marketing.

You might want to put it on your list but it's the opposite problem to your other examples if anything.

He's using those words to defend not giving benefits to the parents of a third child though. It's just double speak: "it's not about handouts is about a social safety net". By playing into the framing of social safety nets as handouts he just defends the status quo. Definitely no evidence he really gets it.

Inspiring. Inquisitors and rogue traders are the best bits of the setting.

 

I don't watch college so I don't have much context. I terms of positions taken it seemed kinda obvious with the departures on the line and the move to 4-3. Hopefully we got some impact guys, but anyone willing to bet on them before we see them in action?

 

Picking a winner is boring so let's talk about the real stuff.

Would be good to see G up there but unclear what form he's in. Bardet looks strong, maybe TT kilometers will be a problem for him? JuanPe maybe a spicy call after tour of the alps result?

Yuck twitter. But:

 

Winnable rest of schedule so decent shot at a wildcard from what I can tell. Cowboys are nailed on. Vikings see the lions twice so hopefully out regardless of result against us. So probably two slots between us, saints, bucs and hawks for remaining 2 wildcards.

Not counting on beating the real contenders but some post season experience for Love would be great. We shot ourselves in the foot on draft capital though.

Last few games love looking like the real deal no? Wicks and reed coming through as viable targets really helping him out.

Streaming sport just gets worse and worse. This was the only streaming service I would actually recommend to other people, and of course big corporates pull the rug to force us onto their shitty expensive platforms.

Not a fan of that outcome. Can you be the "best" cyclist if you don't enter, let alone win any one day races?

 

But I want to see some RUNS tonight. Go pack go.

Today had to be the worst case of group 2 syndrome ever. I refuse to believe that those guys couldn't take back time on Pog cramping and alone on the flat. Carapaz catching back up shows you how little effort they were putting in. Fair play to Pog for taking the opportunity but it's maddening to see it essentially gifted to him by a bunch of guys content to podium/top 10.

 

Probably no one here will learn anything from this, but it's a well written article with a couple of curveballs for me, like over half of NFL teams have threatened to leave for LA!

What a roller coaster. I don't remember emotions like that since rodgers coming back on against the bears after injury.
