I should add - Russia invading Ukraine in 2014 (and 2022) due to events that happened in 2004 is some A+ Level conspiracy theory thinking

Anyway, sorry to interrupt the anti-US circle jerk. Carry on.

Pro-dictator? No. I’m not blanket-pro/anti a particular governing structure, but go ahead and make this a black-and-white issue. I know you can’t handle nuance. You're literally praising Putin and posting conspiracy websites. Not sure why I'm wasting time on this The guy who reads the Kiev Independ...

Any sober analysis of what has happened in Ukraine needs to start with the US fucking around in Russia's backyard. There is no invasion of Russia if America minds its own damn business. Ukrainian elected a Pro-Western government. US/EU expressed support. That is not a justification for a war Your p...

Are you actually going to argue we’re better off without Gaddafi? How do you look at Libya and see anything to pat ourselves on the back? Yes, I side with Assad. Unironically. He’s the legitimate head of state, and I’d much rather have him in place as a secular dictator than the chaos that would en...

I'm sympathetic to the isolationist arguments wrt Ukraine and Israel, but if you find yourself actively siding with Putin, Assad, and Qaddafi you are either mind-numbingly stupid or are perpetually stuck in a teenage edge lord phase. Are you actually going to argue we’re better off without Gaddafi?...

Russia historically wins wars by ridiculous suffering and mass casualties until they exhaust the other side. I think the number in WW2 is 25 million or something. Something like 40 percent of Belarussian males died on the front fighting tanks with pitchforks. They will win by attrition and they don...

You need better sources if you list Syria. Putin was assisting the (shitty) official government in a civil war. That isn’t an invasion. Also laughable that you think the current war is 100% Russia’s fault. The majority of the blame rests with Russia, but Ukraine has done a ton of shitty things in t...

Pabst

The Libyan part where we stabbed a cooperative Gaddafi in the back and created - exactly as he predicted - the migrant invasion of Europe? The ongoing shit in Syria, proving we haven’t learned anything about what happens when you overthrow secular Arab strongmen? Fucking Christ, dude. There are lit...

In the time Putin has been in power, how many nations has he invaded and governments toppled? Top of my head? Georgia, Ukraine, Syria, CAR. Russia's also been involved in the Armenia/Azeri war and continues to maintain a military presence in Moldova. There's also that time he bombed the hell out of...

Pabst

What you didn’t comprehend from the get-go was that CK’s comment wasn’t an implication that the answer was zero, so your list is an answer not needed. Since you gave us a list, I popped in to remind you that a list for the US would be far longer. You’re the one who brought up Iraq, trying to wall-o...

Reading isn’t your strong suit, is it?

The Iraq War has little-to-no relevance to the Russo-Ukraine War. We're in agreement.

Saying the US shouldn't support Ukraine in a war vs Russia because the US was wrong to invade Iraq in 2002 is a textbook non-sequitur fallacy.

As a devout craft guy, it's a little twisted to thank Pabst, but that's some nice work.

I guess I'm a hipster after all.

Ironically, I'm also a devout craft guy. The name comes from my bar trivia team from back in the mid-2000s.....I'm sorta stuck with it at this point

I'd love to hear the Prof's take on this. Believe he's frequently mentioned NPR as unbiased and that's where he achieves his news source

I'm 99% sure he's a PBS guy, which is a separate organization.

Pabst

Also, if you haven't been paying attention to NPR's reaction to the story and the history of their newly-hired CEO....Hoo boy, you are missing out.

Pabst

I've enjoyed every second of this NPR controversy that kicked off with the Berliner article. However....one thing he said bothered me: Back in 2011, although NPR’s audience tilted a bit to the left, it still bore a resemblance to America at large. Twenty-six percent of listeners described themselves...

Hey, I'm not the only one interested in Hunter Nourzad for the Steelers. Yay. Trying to figure out who went to Penn St pro day. No specific info i can find, but a local source said “coaches and scouts from all 32 teams were present”. Looking at options, it really feels like the steelers will want t...

Now here's the big one.....

I pulled these guys out of the target list for various reasons. Either it's a position they don't seem to be targeting (QB, Edge, S, TE) or there is only one minor connection to each prospect.

I've made some assumptions which I'll explain in a follow up post, but here are your Steelers top draft targets for Rounds 1-3 based on the CBS top 400 Rankings:

That's officially the end for pre draft visits.

If nothing else, we can confirm that West Virginia is in fact a local school. Someone write that down for next year.

Steelers draft visitors on the final day of top-30 visits: Travis Clayton, tackle from England who is on the International Pathway program; Hunter Nourzad, offensive lineman from Penn State; Junior Colson, LB from Michigan.

The season was a pretty big disappointment. However I would be lying if I said was surprised. Once it became evident that Sully was staying and they resigned Jarry, which I still question why, I did not have a good feeling that this season was going to turn out well. I did expect the Pens to at lea...
