Not that I'm a right wing guy.  But when you watch these talking head shows on ESPN you realize that a lot of them have left leaning or liberal points of view.  It just seems like you can't find anyone who has a conservative viewpoint in the sports media.  It just seems like everyone is in the same group think.

Chuck Norris, since he was a judge in Dodgeball.

Crazy Curt Schilling, Ditka, Kurt Warner, Chris Colinsworth, Aikman, Al Michaels, Steve Young, Bradshaw and Jim Nantz are all Conservatives, or I remember reading they had at least donated money to the party. For some reason, I think I read in ESPN's book a few years ago that Bob Ley was as well, or at least a right leaning moderate. I remember Greg Anthony catching a little heat as a black guy supporting Mitt Romney. Coach K is a huge conservative for another basketball name. 

Big name NFL guys like Peyton, Brady, and Elway are all republicans, or thought to be in Brady's case. 

 

As far as expressing more conversative viewpoints, you might find a lot of these guys are more left leaning socially, but hard right fiscally. The social issues will hit the airwaves, not the money side.

When it comes to the millions of $$ these guys are pulling, of course they're wanting the 1% guys in office. Keeps them from having to look for offshore banking alternatives. 

And Jim Nantz is such a knee-pad nut-hugging putz, I almost throw up trying to watch the Masters. The fugging faux drama and whispering like he's standing right next to the guy putting is such bullshit. Why is he whispering when the guy is putting on the third hole about 5 miles away?

I'll bet he's secretly trying to pull a membership invite to Augusta...

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
