I definitely think at some point he mentally checked out. Given the situation, it'd be hard not to.

The only question is when It happened.

Crazy, but I got pooed for saying he checked out way back around the end of training camp. He just didn’t look like he cared anymore.  There is a huge turd in this here punch bowl and it’s the owner.

like just imagine all the decisions that went into this, to bring us to this moment. And this is just brushing over what the NFL actually IS what everything that goes into it and the socioeconomic factors at play and the sheer unthinkable biologic and genetic factors that go into actually making these athletes and how incredible every single thing we're watching is at any given moment and how much we take it for fuging granted. like the nfl is just the apotheosis of america jerry jones was fuging right. he's grotesque and repulsive but he understands this fuging place, whatever it is. He's hunter s thompson but outwardly instead of inwardly destructive and he probably also loved nixon 

and someone just put together a huge group of people with all kinds of experience and had all the money and resources and they threw it into this. a huge group of coaches and front office people. this is money that could have gone to fuging anything else. the resources wasted on assembling this miserable confederacy could have built schools, hospitals, paid for nurses, cured hunger, anything. LITERALLY ANYTHING would be better. And instead these fuging assholes created a product that all of us could see on the first drive against Atlanta was never going to work in a thousand years

but it's more than that, because we as a society created a system that allowed a single person to accumulate enough money, power, influence that he can just on a fuging whim decide to do all this. we organized ourselves in a way that some piece of poo can move numbers around a spreadsheet and accumulate this much to himself for him to just buy a team and run it into the ground for no fuging reason. Like as unthinkable as the amount of money wasted on this group of fuging imbeciles would be to any of us, life changing, or we would absolutely put into our communities, our families, this fuging guy made a fortune doing fuging nothing and he just tossed billions and it won't even matter to him. who gives a poo? the thirty years of history this team had? my dad and i going to clemson in 1995? What pathetic little culture we did have, this region has, whatever deeper meaning any of this poo has, means nothing to him. He's so fuging rich and removed and useless that he's letting his wife just make some decisions. no idea who this fuging person is.

it's so goddam emblematic of everything that's fuging wrong with this bullshit country that some fat piece of poo from pennsylvania can just write a check, run something into the goddamn ground over and over again, spend millions to do it, spend even MORE millions to do it again even worse, and NONE OF IT fuging MATTERS TO HIM. he will not suffer any consequences for this. This is a goddamn game to him. Like how did we get to this point as a species, as a society, that this guy can accumulate so much by doing so little, then run an entire NFL Franchise and everything attached to it into the ground, AND IT MEANS NOTHING TO HIM. Every fuging decision he throws 10 million at is another hospital not built, another school that crumbles, another species that gets wiped off the face of the earth. 

all this bullshit. These artifices we've created. late stage finance capitalism, this miserable rotting imperial core, the cruelties and abuse and violence we allow to exist have led to a fat fug with more money than god who's never worked a day in his life forsaking every good thing he could do to assemble a group of complete poo heads who drafted a 5'8 child and EVEN TRADED HOPE IN THE FUTURE TO GET HIM 

it's this goddamn video but instead of carl sagan it's a drunk me and at the end of it is bryce fuging young's smirking little 8 year old voice 

and nothing will change for Tepper. He'll be slightly irritated, he'll eat a dinner that costs more than any of ours mortgages, he'll either pop a research chemical or do better cocaine than any of us can even imagine, he'll engage in some unspeakable sexual depravity and before he takes his xanax he'll check to see how many more millions he made for doing nothing 

and what the fug am i goin gto do about this? my shrooms fuging sucked so all i have is the angry comedown. I'm going to drink whiskey and listen to the national and probably pop a red baron in the oven because who the fug am i kidding and i'll eventually take enough gabapentin to pass out and wake up hung over and go to work for some shitty healthcare conglomerate and try to do a little fuging bit of good on this miserable pile of poo and like 60% of whatever I earn is going to filter through this horse poo and end up in tepper's bank account and in the pocket of whichever next coked up mistake his wife tells him to hire as head coach and like 37% of the idiots who cheer for this team will tie themselves into knots depending him because being honest about what's right there in front of their eyes would mean unwinding like their entire belief systems GOD DAMMIT

I'll have what he's having.  

Yes, I read every word. I haven't read a rant like that since SCP graced the bowels of this joint.

    • 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.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • 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.
