Oh no dolphins suck again. This season will be the end of a dolphins era. It wasn’t a very good era, but it’s the end of one.

[Vertical Limit]

We have a team historic bad defense. We just played the Colts and Patriots, i promise you at the end of the season theyll both be ranked in the mid tier offensively.

And yet they were able to move the ball with ease and score a lot of points. Some of them off of tua’s turnovers but still.

The thing that bothers me about the 2025 Dolphins is the same thing that bothers me about the Miami Heat.

We are not an actual good team that can compete well against contenders in the playoffs. But we are not terrible enough to demand regime change. We are as mid as mid can be.

We may be 0-3 after this Thursday night, and then we face the **** Jets and Panthers. Granted those are not gimme’s but i think there is a good chance we are 2-3. And thats when fans start to buy the Mcdaniels food again.

Since he got the head coach job, He has a good record against below .500 teams and a terrible record against teams above .500.

So here we go. Another season of mid football

If the heat season is anything like the gators and dolphins so far I might lose it.

I can assure you, if I wanted to be "nasty" I wouldn't hide it. But as I've already said, I don't put out that type of energy.

That said, there is something to be said about Charlie Kirk's own rhetoric and how it got us here, and that's what I have been pointing out. The fact that his own words produce "implications" according to you that are less than favorable, says it all. I've encouraged you to examine that further multiple times.

The very fact you're continuing this "I'm not nasty, the killing was wrong, but..." rhetorical game says it all.

And the world has responded accordingly. Including the UK Parliament refusing to give a moment of silence to Charlie Kirk, and South Korean engineers getting the hell out of dodge despite the president begging them to stay. It's only so long that you can hide the stink of the social decay caused by your own rhetoric and vile teachings/beliefs.

Here again, pretending to have the neutral opinion and just caring about what's right, while endorsing disrespecting a violent murder of an innocent man, blaming him and others instead of having any kind of introspection at all. Its gross and I hope other posters can see as much. I didn't want to respond because I don't care for you, but I'm not going to let that hypocrisy slide. Whatever your feelings on his politics, he was a good man, and I pray for his wife and kids. I'll pray for you too.

My opinion is neutral. I do not believe that Charlie Kirk was a good person based on his own words and the things he said he believes in. He was an avowed racist and misogynist who taught things that were antithetical to the faith he claimed to be apart of. At the same time, I also do not think that he should have been killed or his death laughed at or joked about. Not by even further right wing hatemongers that killed him or anyone on the left.

No amount of hyperbolic appeals to emotion are going to get me to pretend he didn't say the words that he did when he was alive just so that he can seem more honorable in death than he was in life. I'll pray for you as well. There are a lot of people on the right who are going through a crisis of faith right now, having been given a tiny peek into the mirror of what they are putting out into the world, and if it really is what they want to be seen as, and I know it scares them. Few will probably change and instead just dive deeper into their idolatry (as we have already seen, fanning of more flames of division and violence), but it'll be worth it for those that use this as a catalyst to introspect and actually get back to their faith.

Anyways, almost 4a in Sao Paolo. Jet lag is not a joke. But good news, Bolsonaro was sentenced.

https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/brazils-bolsonaro-sentenced-27-years-after-landmark-coup-plot-conviction-2025-09-11/

If only all former presidents who are traitors to their country and attempted a coup were treated the same everywhere.

How long you in Sp for?

A week. But not a fun week where I actually get to do anything so I wish I was home already

You should hope the gators continue on this mid tier because Gruden was an excellent college coach once upon a time and the rumors are getting a little hot

[Tony15]

The expectation for the 'phins should obviously be a single postseason win...that doesn't happen, major changes should be a given.

Note I don't even think Kirk was that good of a debater, and I don't agree with all of his stances. He wasn't some perfect person, though who is. But the idea that conservatives should be the ones questioning themselves, because someone who shared some of their opinions was murdered, is the wrong take. That's literally the goal of political terrorism, silence opposition through violence or the threat of violence.

No one but God has the right to judge others for how they practice their faith. But you might be disappointed at the reaction to his death from those you claim are having a "crisis of faith" (and no this isn't idolatry, they are celebrating what he stood for, not elevating him above God, that's a serious reach)

As I stated previously, you can kill him, but you probably can't kill all of those people, and you can't kill an idea.

My post literally says "Few will probably change and instead just dive deeper into their idolatry" so I'm not sure what you providing evidence of exactly that does. Historically, most white supremacists claimed to be Christians and also went to church right before their lynchings. I'm also pretty aware of current events where conservatives are literally saying there can be no unity (JD Vance), they're hunting Democrats (Stephen Miller), free speech should be removed for liberals (Trump) and just fanning the flames of the civil war the right has been itching for for a long time. So again, unsurprising.

But there are a few who will get it. One of the most popular Christian artists just made a video about losing 30k followers in a day because he posted to honor Kirk. Note: they didn't harass him or threaten him, they simply unfollowed. Because they know his message did not align with our faith.

Either way, I'm over it. Its Monday now and the pomp and circumstance is done. All this needs to be wrapped up so we can get back to the Epstein files being released.

My post literally says "Few will probably change and instead just dive deeper into their idolatry" so I'm not sure what you providing evidence of exactly that does.

I was correcting you, they aren't "diving deeper into idolatry", you're misrepresenting the other side's views because you disagree with them.

Historically, most white supremacists claimed to be Christians and also went to church right before their lynchings.

People equivocating center right debate bros like Charlie Kirk with white supremacy, nazism, lynchings etc. is the reason he's dead today. It turns out if you convince an entire population that the most evil thing a person can be isn't a rapist or murderer, but a white supremacist/nazi, and then you conflate anyones views you don't like with those things, some people will make the logical leap that those people are evil and its ok (maybe even righteous and justified) to do bad things to them, shocking, I know.

Its your rhetoric that's the problem, you're the one who has a problem with self reflection. For someone who likes to point the finger at others, claim that they need to look in the mirror, this thread was largely non political until you took it over and started spamming it with leftist rage bait (Bishop would post updates but kept his commentary largely to himself). There's tons of right wing rage bait that I could spam here but I don't because I know most on the board don't care to make everything political, and it just creates division. That said, I once again am taking the bait so I guess I'm not as disciplined as I should be either.

But there are a few who will get it. One of the most popular Christian artists just made a video about losing 30k followers in a day because he posted to honor Kirk. Note: they didn't harass him or threaten him, they simply unfollowed. Because they know his message did not align with our faith.

If the metric is who people support, I'm good with that if you are. Again I don't think you're going to like where this leads in the long term.

Either way, I'm over it. Its Monday now and the pomp and circumstance is done. All this needs to be wrapped up so we can get back to the Epstein files being released.

I don't think its very hard to do both. Pressure the release of the Epstein files, and go after the people spreading the flames that lead to people like Charlie Kirk being politically assassinated. I'm not over it. I suspect you weren't over it the weekend after George Floyd or any other numerous deaths that probably mattered to you a lot more (I could be mistaken, and if I am I apologize for assumptions).

The problem Charlie ran into, is that while most of the world either ignored him, shook their head, pumped their fists, or maybe even laughed at his racist routine, what probably happened is a psycho like Kathy Bates in Misery got his eyes set on Charlie. And unfortunately for Charlie, he lived in a country where these people have easy access to weapons. People are desperate to find out if the killer was left or right, but he’s probably just gonna be a crazy guy who lost sense of reality and killed Charlie for a randomass reason. These people are psychos, Charlie could’ve said something totally innocuous but it set him off. Like that dude who killed Lennon because he got upset that Lennon said they were bigger than Jesus.

I hope the people who are trying to venerate Charlie one day realize that he didn’t give two craps about y’all. Quite frankly, the only reason he would have given a crap about one of you is if you randomly got murdered by a minority, and he could’ve profited off your story.

People want to make his death into something more but the world has probably already moved on by now.

It’ll be another 6 win season where it’s just enough to keep Grier around for another year. McDaniel probably gets the axe and for good reason. Upcoming 40 win team for the Heat. These seasons are getting way too predictable as Heat and phin fans. At least hockey is almost here

[Vertical Limit]

Ive watched every Buccaneers game since Baker arrived to that team. Was a big baker fan in college and just wanted him to succeed at this level (was also a big fan of jameis winston but he just hasnt been anle to turn the corner in the nfl).

man Baker is fun to watch..

[HeatFanLifer]

The problem Charlie ran into, is that while most of the world either ignored him, shook their head, pumped their fists, or maybe even laughed at his racist routine,

I encourage you to watch his videos yourself and point out what exactly was racist that he said. Did he say facts that hurt people’s feelings? Yes. But Kirk was not a KKK hood dude. He was focused on way bigger things than hate.

he lived in a country where these people have easy access to weapons

I think toleration of violence is more unfortunate than “these people” having access to guns. People that want to hurt others will find a way to do so, especially when the victims are defenseless. FBI and other law enforcement agencies should be using AI to investigate every discord, reddit, X, FB, and other social media platforms for individuals that make calls to violence and definitely those involved in planning.

People are desperate to find out if the killer was left or right, but he’s probably just gonna be a crazy guy who lost sense of reality and killed Charlie for a randomass reason.

The sad thing is there is no attempt by the media to get to the truth and this is by design. Divide and conquer. I have never seen this country so divided.

I hope the people who are trying to venerate Charlie one day realize that he didn’t give two craps about y’all. Quite frankly, the only reason he would have given a crap about one of you is if you randomly got murdered by a minority, and he could’ve profited off your story.

C’mon man. Kirk sacrificed everything for what he believed in. You have no idea what he was thinking. But I will tell you, there are vultures around him that definitely don’t give a **** about anyone and are trying to capitalize on his death to further their own goals. It is sad.

People want to make his death into something more but the world has probably already moved on by now.

His death is something more. It was an attack on our first amendment. You can say the shooter is crazy and yes he is, but there are people every day who don’t like someone’s words and justify violence accordingly. Hell, remember in 2020 when we were hearing “silence is violence”? Our culture is in a different place today that it was 2 weeks ago. The rhetoric continues to escalate and actions are following that rhetoric. This cannot continue.

Don't kid yourself. They want to erect monuments of Charlie Kirk all around the country ... just like they've done for the Confederacy.

Glad he got out of the hellhole that is the CLE Browns & is succeeding in TB. I was indifferent to Baker during his college years until the media started pearl clutching over some of his harmless antics.

Same story, two different sets of facts. I am all for freedom of speech, but when you have accounts that constantly push out a narrative, even if it’s an outright lie then there needs to be accountability. This can’t go on. I am not saying who is the liar if either of them on this story cuz I genuinely have no idea, but this **** popping up on my timeline literally one over the other had me like yo wtf is going on here?
