The players aren't even moving in sync. Thought this was about discipline and doing things uniform? Let's ignore ^ this ^ and the fact that football players are not military operators - and lets focus in on the fact that this SEAL hell week style of training is NOT how they train once they have been selected. It is used to weed out those who do not want to actually be there. Now maybe that is what is happening with this - but doing so in June before camp in August - doubtful. Going through one difficult training session will not make the players stand on the goal line - put their hands in the huddle - and then say "hey fellas - remember when we did that seal training in June - we got this - lets go score a TD" Now, I have been wrong before and will be wrong again - but this seems like a massive waste of time and funds - especially when support staff can train the players hard AND are underpaid. How does admin allow things like this? S&C coaches ALWAYS have to be aware of the transition periods - did this seal training happen right after May break? If so - seems like a TON of volume after a short amount of time..... Going through one event is not as hard as going through an entire off-season or year and doing ALL the little things right. Anyone can suck it up and get one training session done. Who can show up for the long haul. Focus on things like quality training: Sprint Jump Throw Push Pull Hinge Carry Crawl Not this. Athletes deserve better.

The #1 player I’m drafting in every league this season: Josh Downs Here’s why I’m all in: - Michael Pittman Jr. and Adonai Mitchell are both out of town, opening up 127 vacated targets - Last year, Josh Downs ranked 6th in Slot Snaps (421) while only playing 65%+ of snaps in just 4 games - Built-in chemistry with Daniel Jones, who will be healthy heading into Week 1 - There have been numerous reports that Downs is having the best training camp of his career I understand that Indianapolis added Keenan Allen, but he’s now 34 years old and the Colts desperately needed the depth. Alec Pierce has also been working his way back from ankle surgery this offseason for what it’s worth Josh Downs’ ADP is currently WR40, roll the dice This is the year Josh Downs truly breaks out

Full-speed Practice #3 in the books for the 49ers. Highlights... 🏈Great battle between Renardo Green and Mike Evans on a nice deep pass from Brock Purdy. Green won with the PBU. Green: "A dawg recognizes a dawg. So we're going to go at it and sharpen each others' swords." 🏈Renardo Green spoke at length about how much Kyle Shanahan's belief in him has elevated his confidence. Seems that some totally misread the brief Seattle "benching" 🏈Another CB highlight: Jack Jones INT'd Mac Jones on rollout jump ball to Jacob Cowing. Jones has been a spark plug this camp 🏈It was the De'Zhaun Stribling and Demarcus Robinson show at WR today. Stribling is eminently impressive physically — just really hard to cover with his traits. Robinson is a reliable vet whose roster stock only increases with Ricky Pearsall still dealing with last season's PCL injury 🏈Darrell Luter Jr. (final year of rookie deal) did have a nice PBU vs Robinson 🏈Punt returners... -Jacob Cowing -Jordan Watkins -Junior Bergen -Will Pauling -Wesley Grimes Cowing had a couple catches today and a first down on a reverse but has not been overly productive on offense. He's the 49ers' shortest WR. His ticket to the 53 might be through that PR position 🏈Jaden Dugger, the rookie LB with the 7-foot wingspan, is a LONG strider. Nice range on a throw to the flat today 🏈Mac Jones is constantly funny. Hit Patrick Taylor Jr. on a swing pass vs what might've been busted coverage and acted like the TD won the Super Bowl with his arms outstretched 🏈Shanahan was again on the field for a bit. Former safety Raheem Morris joined him and John Lynch watching from that centerfield spot 🏈Brock Purdy and his wife, Jenna, announced that their second child is on the way this morning. Congratulations!

Most competitive 49ers' training camp practice so far ended Block 3 — fittingly, it coincided with Kyle Shanahan's return to the podium. Some highlights: 🏈Upton Stout will be a HUGE part of this defense. Pick 6 on a Brock Purdy-to-Demarcus Robinson try today. Raheem Morris said Stout is SF's starting "Star" — that was Jalen Ramsey's versatile position in LA's defense 🏈OL/DL 1-on-1s didn't go well for Connor Colby, who lost multiple reps (rookie James Thompson got him twice). Robert Jones continued as top LG. Brett Toth (concussion) watched from sideline 🏈Romello Height had a fun multi-rep battle with Colton McKivitz. Slipped lost Round 1, then jumped offsides twice, then ripped out a wicked inside spin move — speedy potential on full display. Height says he picks Trent Williams' brain after practice (smart move, per sources) 🏈De'Zhaun Stribling was back in team drills. Purdy's first pass: Crisp out-breaker to the rookie, who continues to look polished and explosive. Stribling did log a catch vs Stout on another out later on 🏈Biggest offensive play came when 49ers spread defense out with Stribling and Co. to set up Purdy-to-McCaffrey on a 25-yard post 🏈The logjam of young DTs — Sebastian Valdez, Bryson Eason, and James Thompson — will be interesting to sort out. All are flashing. Alfred Collins had a big pass bat-down today, one of his specialties 🏈Jordan Watkins has had some struggles over the middle and today he dropped an intermediate crosser in traffic from Adrian Martinez 🏈Nice adjustment from Junior Bergen on a similar route but with Kurtis Rourke at QB. Throw was a touch late and behind Bergen but the gritty young WR made it work. His good camp continues 🏈Best practice so far for vet CB Nate Hobbs, who notched 3 pass breakups, including one vs Bergen. Hobbs has been most effective inside during his career but he also knocked two boundary passes away today 🏈Soaring TD catch in end-of-game red-zone work from 6-2 rookie WR Wesley Grimes on a throw from Mac Jones 🏈Purdy found Luke Farrell for a last-second TD during his first turn of this hurry-up work. Farrell's pass-game usage has gone way up this camp; looks like a trusted target for 13 now 🏈Deommodore Lenoir INT of Purdy came on the first team's second red-zone try. Fourth down as time expired, so Purdy had to force a throw since no one was open and the "game" was on the line. Lenoir undercut Robinson 🏈Big run stop from rookie DT Gracen Halton, who's one of the most vocal players on the field. When Halton makes a play, you typically hear it from the sideline 🏈Fred Warner notched a lunging PBU, showcasing that rare 6-4 LB height, and also scooped up a possible early fumble for a return TD 🏈49ers will be off Sunday before returning for their fourth 2-practice block on Monday, the second of which will be a joint session with Robert Saleh and the Titans — so the work is ramping up at just the right time

After starting the year with 2 top 10s to qualify for the Arnold Palmer and The Players, Joel Dahmen missed both those cuts and had to get an Uber to Monday Qualifying for the Valspar. He missed at qualifying, but got in the field anyway as an alternate and now has shot rounds of 72 and 70 to make the cut. After the round, he spoke about how grounding life on the PGA Tour can sometimes be: “Look, life on the PGA Tour is amazing. Wouldn't trade it for anything but also people probably don't see behind the scenes as much and so I got the family on the road, which is great, but it also can be difficult when you drive across the state on Sunday, get into a new place, you have to unpack, get them all ready, got to get groceries in the house, all those little things, thankfully my wife does most of that. “But then I had a 9:30 tee time and it was about an hour away and we didn't have another car. So I didn't have time to grab another one. So it was just Uber was the best option and yeah, so it's a lot different from, you know, the steak and wine and The Players clubhouse and an amazing week to driving to Brooksville to Monday. “And I hadn't had to do that in a while, thankfully, but the game humbles you quickly but also can recenter you and ground you and, yeah, I mean I didn't play well there on Monday either, but you knew I had a good chance of getting in the field and so it was nice little reset to hit some striped range balls on not a perfect golf course and realize how lucky we are to be out here on tour.” He’s currently 65th on the FedEx Cup Standings and will be hoping to go low this weekend and improve on that.

Brock Purdy is now the only remaining player from the 49ers' 2022 draft class. SF released Nick Zakelj to make room for center Doug Kramer Jr. before practice. Some highlights... 🏈Purdy's explosive camp continues. Deep 70-yard TDs to both De'Zhaun Stribling and Demarcus Robinson 🏈George Kittle looks to be truly ramping it up. Was moving and cutting well in what looked to be some aggressive rehab work 🏈Mike Evans and Christian Kirk both look like they might be close to returning. Shanahan essentially said Evans' absence is precautionary 🏈Brett Toth (concussion) was on an exercise bike. Might he be a dark horse to grab the LG spot? It's Robert Jones - Connor Colby there right now, but Klay Kubiak said it's "still an open competition" and, with Kramer added, the 49ers now have more center depth 🏈Safety Marques Sigle says he's gained 8-10 pounds of muscle since last season. Thinks it'll allow him to be more physical while keeping his 4.37 speed. Robinson did beat Sigle, though, on the second long Purdy TD toss 🏈Rookie Carver Willis cleared concussion protocol and was back at practice. He's getting work at both guard spots and center 🏈Big hit from Fred Warner on WR Junior Bergen — but to Bergen's credit, he held onto the football. He's been tough all camp 🏈Deebo Samuel worked a bit in the RB room today. Shifted back to the WRs to close position group drills. Caught a nice seam shot in stride and dropped an out while working against Dre Greenlaw 🏈Sigle on Greenlaw: "His energy never left. He stayed in this room even though he wasn’t here.” 🏈Looked like officials called PI against rookie CB Ephesians Prysock on a deep out from Mac Jones to Demarcus Robinson. Prysock was flagged a few times at UW last year; definitely a clean-up spot 🏈Romello Height has a tendency to jump offside in 1-on-1s. Clearly trying to buy an advantage for his lighter frame, but it'll be a mandatory part of his game to iron out 🏈Best 1-on-1 recovery rep from rookie OT Enrique Cruz Jr. so far. Ogbo Okoronkwo beat him off the snap but Cruz did well to readjust. Raw prospect, but some progress is evident 🏈Colby had really struggled in 1-on-1s as of late, but worth noting that he had a solid win today vs DT CJ West. Sweet rep ft. a spin move from Sam Okuayinonu vs Colton McKivitz, too — Colton later shut down Height 🏈CMC's absence Monday was essentially precautionary, per Kubiak. Joint practice against Saleh and the Titans tomorrow — we'll see if McCaffrey is back out there

“Buckle up…or just putt it.” There’s been a lot of talk about grain this week at Pinehurst. Bermudagrass—which covers the fairways and now the greens at No. 2—grows very well in the hot and humid North Carolina summers, but it’s also a very, very grainy surface. The way the grass grows matters immensely. There are massive differences between into-the-grain lies and downgrain lies, and part of the challenge judging your lie and what shot it will allow you to play. I asked Tommy Fleetwood to demonstrate. Having fairway surrounding greens here, rather than thick and juicy rough you see often in professional events, gives players options. The shots are very, very difficult—particularly into-the-grain, where bottom control becomes paramount. If you catch it even a hair fat the club will dig into the Bermuda. That’s when you see the chili dips that go three feet, and that’s where you’re going to see guys go for the bump-and-run.. On downgrain lies, not nearly as common around the greens, these guys have their full arsenal of short-game shots at their disposal. High, low, spinny, all that jazz. The grass surrounding the greens is a bit longer than it was in 2014, when Martin Kaymer used putter from virtually everywhere en route to an 8-shot victory. The slightly longer grass means putts won’t roll as well. That’s why most guys have been practicing executing these bump-and-runs with hybrids, fairway woods—or, in Tiger Woods’ case, 4-irons. They want the ball to hop a little bit and avoid a momentum-killing bounce, particularly when a mishit shot could roll right back to your feet. As the week wears on and the course dries out, the grass will become tighter (shorter blades) and we’ll see more putters from off the green.

🦘🇦🇺My take on Ange Postecoglou. If you disagree, that's fine. Freedom of speech, your opinion might be listened to or not. Mine is, I know by who. That's what I care about. 🌏Postecoglou has coached every age group at national / international level on 3 continents. That's inspirational and commands respect, if he was to be found out, as he said, he'd have been a long time ago like these former pros who cry because they get a U19 team relegated (ask me the names). 🤓From a footballing standpoint, he's not making up theoretical shit like all these nerds jumping up on the Pro License barely coaching a team; and scrambling to figure out the reality of the sport/people in Phase 2, 3 doing the polar opposite to what they told everyone they'd do. 🧠The football Postecoglou sets up has room for decision making within a structure which is an extraordinary achievement from a coaching standpoint, and what every coach in the world should aspire to do. Ajax or Netherlands 1974, Nantes 1995, Rijkaard's Barcelona, Wenger's Arsenal. If you like "good football" , this is good football. If you want to win, pay more and get the best players. The correlation is right there. 🔁There's rotations everywhere (think triangles who tilt, carrier and two options short/long), and players have 2-3 options everytime. The right balance between combinations into feet and third man runs (third man runs are vital - and often forgotten when nerds coach teams and have a control kink) 🫡For that, you need a club culture of empowered players caring about the common good ; and also good enough to act selflessly to what the game demands (and actually execute it). ⚖️The challenge is that bang average off the mill pros do what they're told, can't do most things. And ones who can't do play the solo card - football is an individual sport masquerading as a team sport. 👀I can confidently second guess that the hesitation in collective movement suggest they're thinking in real time and not going "by the book" (which is microwave coaching). 👥How often Postecoglou talks about culture, turning up together for a meal before games. Old school, but actually grounded. This isn't a startup or UberEats. 🧘‍♂️There's a handful of adults coaching Premier League teams. Slot maybe, Howe, Emery, Frank, Glasner, Moyes, McKenna who value the holistic composition of performance: squad chemistry, work ethic, managing people and treating them as adults. Coincidence or not, I rate all of them. Coincidence, they all overperfom with the resources they have. 🚩Defensively, the idea to hold a high line can make sense on the occasion. Most of you don't work in football. People who do know the biggest paradox in the modern age is that lot of players are outstanding to think smart and execute fast in high pressure situations; yet are out of their depth when they have time and space to think. 🫣Chelsea 11v9 took half an hour to break down 9 fuckers on halfway line, and people know how badly it reflected on one of the worst assemblage of players ever seen pound for pound. And that's not Postecoglou's team. Then again, listen to who you want. I've done it too. 9v11 winning 5-2 from 2-1 down at National level whilst the other team was spamming diagonals out of play. 🚑The injury crisis is worrying, but it's also a vicious circle. Majority of clubs nowadays sign players to replace injured players. If you get one or two key players injured by the extreme random demands of the game (facing a Haaland, Jackson etc... stretches your CBs to the limit - Van de Ven got muscular in game injury like Rodri got injured like Fofana got injured). 🚁💰I don't think the training methods are in question; not should they be questioned more than Pep or Maresca's who can actually afford to get replacement brought in (and still get injuries) - and never get questioned. Spurs play Gray at CB. Chelsea can afford to call Chaloback, or City sign another 40 million a piece CB. 🕳️Spurs lost Kane and finished 5th, like nothing happened. That's outstanding. 📼⛳️Training clip: possession box to create the moment to change gear and find a striker dropping off the front. What happens then is a "wave" 3v2, with decision making. Drive diagonally, straight pass for diagonal runs. Affordances (what players perceive they can play) and match realism. See the cut off corners to guarantee runs going towards goal. Can't be more modern, evidence based, empowering, enjoyable and football realistic. 🏟️🎞️Game footage: look how they're using each pass as a timeline to allow a third man popping up in space. Good reaction on turnover. See another triangle being created, with players selflessly filling in the tips of the triangle even rotating.

🦘🇦🇺My take on Ange Postecoglou. If you disagree, that's fine. Freedom of speech, your opinion might be listened to or not. Mine is, I know by who. That's what I care about. 🌏Postecoglou has coached every age group at national / international level on 3 continents. That's inspirational and commands respect, if he was to be found out, as he said, he'd have been a long time ago like these former pros who cry because they get a U19 team relegated (ask me the names). 🤓From a footballing standpoint, he's not making up theoretical shit like all these nerds jumping up on the Pro License barely coaching a team; and scrambling to figure out the reality of the sport/people in Phase 2, 3 doing the polar opposite to what they told everyone they'd do. 🧠The football Postecoglou sets up has room for decision making within a structure which is an extraordinary achievement from a coaching standpoint, and what every coach in the world should aspire to do. Ajax or Netherlands 1974, Nantes 1995, Rijkaard's Barcelona, Wenger's Arsenal. If you like "good football" , this is good football. If you want to win, pay more and get the best players. The correlation is right there. 🔁There's rotations everywhere (think triangles who tilt, carrier and two options short/long), and players have 2-3 options everytime. The right balance between combinations into feet and third man runs (third man runs are vital - and often forgotten when nerds coach teams and have a control kink) 🫡For that, you need a club culture of empowered players caring about the common good ; and also good enough to act selflessly to what the game demands (and actually execute it). ⚖️The challenge is that bang average off the mill pros do what they're told, can't do most things. And ones who can't do play the solo card - football is an individual sport masquerading as a team sport. 👀I can confidently second guess that the hesitation in collective movement suggest they're thinking in real time and not going "by the book" (which is microwave coaching). 👥How often Postecoglou talks about culture, turning up together for a meal before games. Old school, but actually grounded. This isn't a startup or UberEats. 🧘‍♂️There's a handful of adults coaching Premier League teams. Slot maybe, Howe, Emery, Frank, Glasner, Moyes, McKenna who value the holistic composition of performance: squad chemistry, work ethic, managing people and treating them as adults. Coincidence or not, I rate all of them. Coincidence, they all overperfom with the resources they have. 🚩Defensively, the idea to hold a high line can make sense on the occasion. Most of you don't work in football. People who do know the biggest paradox in the modern age is that lot of players are outstanding to think smart and execute fast in high pressure situations; yet are out of their depth when they have time and space to think. 🫣Chelsea 11v9 took half an hour to break down 9 fuckers on halfway line, and people know how badly it reflected on one of the worst assemblage of players ever seen pound for pound. And that's not Postecoglou's team. Then again, listen to who you want. I've done it too. 9v11 winning 5-2 from 2-1 down at National level whilst the other team was spamming diagonals out of play. 🚑The injury crisis is worrying, but it's also a vicious circle. Majority of clubs nowadays sign players to replace injured players. If you get one or two key players injured by the extreme random demands of the game (facing a Haaland, Jackson etc... stretches your CBs to the limit - Van de Ven got muscular in game injury like Rodri got injured like Fofana got injured). 🚁💰I don't think the training methods are in question; not should they be questioned more than Pep or Maresca's who can actually afford to get replacement brought in (and still get injuries) - and never get questioned. Spurs play Gray at CB. Chelsea can afford to call Chaloback, or City sign another 40 million a piece CB. 🕳️Spurs lost Kane and finished 5th, like nothing happened. That's outstanding. 📼⛳️Training clip: possession box to create the moment to change gear and find a striker dropping off the front. What happens then is a "wave" 3v2, with decision making. Drive diagonally, straight pass for diagonal runs. Affordances (what players perceive they can play) and match realism. See the cut off corners to guarantee runs going towards goal. Can't be more modern, evidence based, empowering, enjoyable and football realistic. 🏟️🎞️Game footage: look how they're using each pass as a timeline to allow a third man popping up in space. Good reaction on turnover. See another triangle being created, with players selflessly filling in the tips of the triangle even rotating. Matar Sarr gets sucked into the space, puts an outstanding goalmouth delivery with presence and bodies in the box - especially at the far post. Brennan who everyone called a flop. Tremendous, organic (= player led) output. What you can do = the team's outlook. ⚽️I'm talking football there, not theory, not pattern playbook, not fiscal optimisation. 📊Spurs are working on relative budget. Don't budget CL football. Spend 40% turnover on wages, when Chelsea's etc... are 70% or Leicester 120%. 🏇💉It's like the only clean horse in a race when others are stuffed with red bull, cocaine and creatine.

Some Big Numbers To Get Excited About Regular readers will know I often write of frustration at not moving fast enough. This mission I am on is really hard and sometimes it can seem impossibly big when I am down in the weeds dealing with dog issues on a daily basis. I have to say though that writing this tonight and looking through some numbers I feel for the first time that I am starting to make some large scale progress… A Second Island 🌴🥥 I live and help the dogs on the island of Koh Samui. There is an island of equal size called Koh Phangan just across the water. You probably have heard of it as the home of the world famous Full Moon Party. They have a similar problem with street dogs. Since the the 1st May I have starting funding a wonderful foundation called PACS to sterilise dogs there. They are starting with 50 this month. This is going to stop 1000s of future puppies. A big step. 90,000 Meals Served in 2023 So Far 🥘👨‍🍳 The cooking never stops. The dogs are all starting to benefit from a consistent and healthy meal per day. All the food is prepared in a central kitchen and handed out to volunteers to feed their dogs. With 5000 meals served per week around the island it blows my mind that soon we will serve the 100,000th wholesome plate of food in 2023. It wasn’t that long ago I was driving around on my moped with a 10kg bag of dry food feeding a paltry 20 dogs per day on my own. 7 Puppies Re-Homed 🐶🏠 In the last couple of weeks there have been 25-30 puppies show up. It can be incredibly tough to find them homes but thanks to a great Thai lady I have been able to get 7 into their forever homes around the country. It has involved a lot of vet visits, 1000kms of travel and lots of expense but that is 7 dogs who have a future now who wouldn’t have made it otherwise. 2 Miracles For Lady 🙏😊 The first miracle for Lady was the fact that she got off the street and was able to start walking a little again despite her two broken hips. We’ve been getting her a lot of treatment and she is thriving. Her 2nd miracle was when a lovely newly retired gentleman called Jamie spotted her and offered Lady a forever home to live out her life right here on the island. Nobody usually wants old and sick dogs so this incredibly selfless act is the huge slice of luck that Lady deserved after all the suffering she has endured. The Best Day Of Tina’s Life 🐕🥰 Tina was used for breeding puppies. We all saw the horrendous state she was in when she was rescued. Last week she was well enough to be sterilised so as she never has to have another puppy in her life again. It might seem like a small footnote in the bigger scheme of things but it was a moment of closure for this wonderful lady who has suffered so much. She can now just focus on being a dog for for the first time in her life and sharing all the love she has to give. Tina was the 521st dog I have sterilised since starting. King Whacker Of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✈️ Whacker is a very special dog who was one of the first arrivals back in November. Someone had tried to kill him with a pick axe. After recovering he turned into a true gent and is the big boss at the land. I promised he would never have to go back on the streets and this week after a process to find him the right home he got the news that he will be heading to Glasgow. Long live Whacker, the King of Scotland. 125 Dogs To Be Sterilised In May ✂️🐕 I spoke about how abstract sterilising can be for many people to understand but it is what will save the most dogs from suffering. In all of 2022 I was able to do 302 dogs. In the month of May alone I have a minimum target to fund 125. In June I hope to take that to 250 dogs for the month. Not easy and very expensive but I’m putting the groundwork in place to scale this up. Nothing is more important. Little Rodney was in getting the snip last week as one of the dogs this month. 7 European Dogs 🇪🇺🛫 By the end of June there will be 7 dogs who have traveled to Europe. Lottie, Hope, King Whacker, Rodney and Moritz will join Little Squeak and Peaches who just arrived in Germany. I can’t explain how hard it is to figure all this stuff out and get the processes in place. I’m focusing on Europe now as it is the easiest for travel and paperwork but the rest of the world will happen soon too. It’s only 7 dogs but seeing them in their homes or about to travel makes me so happy and proud for them all. Progress The suffering I see on a daily basis for street dogs means that I am never really happy with the speed and progress of my mission. I just want to help them all immediately but that isn’t possible. Having said that, reading this update and knowing what else is coming in the pipeline makes me feel that I am making genuine progress. Between food, funding sterilisations, medical care and re-homing dogs I can genuinely now say I’m helping 100s of dogs per month but also stopping the suffering of 1000s in the future. As I always say I could never do any of this without the online support and good wishes of everybody on the mission with me. I don’t feel like I am alone doing this. My role is to make sure I don’t waste all the support and ensure I think of ways to move faster and execute accordingly. A lot done, a lore more to do.

There Are No Good Zionists, And Other Notes I don’t believe you can be a good Zionist anymore than I believe someone can be a decent Nazi. The ideology itself describes a major character flaw. I cannot take seriously the idea that some ethnicities or religious groups are inherently prone to nefarious behavior; it goes against everything I’ve learned about the human condition over the course of my strange adventures on this planet. I absolutely do believe, however, that there are political ideologies whose adherents are universally dogshit people. If you’ve been watching the incineration of the Gaza Strip and thinking it’s good, or thinking it’s complicated, or thinking it’s an unfortunate development that can be blamed on a few bad apples in the Israeli government but doesn’t reflect Israel’s nature as a whole, then you’re a piece of shit. You’re a horrible human being. It really is that simple. If you can look at Israel starting all these wars, bombing the fuck out of Iran and Lebanon and Palestine, passing laws to execute Palestinians exclusively while sparing Jews from the same sentencing for the same crimes, and still fail to recognize that the Israel experiment must be aborted, then you have not developed a functioning conscience. You have wasted your time on this planet. You have not managed to mature into a morally healthy human in all these years you’ve been alive. There are Zionists who are vegetarian, who are nice to their pets, who give money to charity — but there are no Zionists who are actually good people. John Wayne Gacy did charity clown shows for hospitalized children, but he was still a serial killer and a very bad man. His abusiveness eclipsed any other kindness he may have performed, and became his defining characteristic as an individual. Being a supporter of the Israel project is exactly the same. It doesn’t matter what else you do with your life if you stand on the side of a man-made murder machine which is fueled by the blood of the innocent. You’re just plain awful. ❖ Israel’s Knesset has passed its notorious bill to execute Palestinians convicted of “terrorism” in bogus military court show trials. The law is explicitly crafted to exclude Jews and solely target Palestinians, which is about as strong a sign you’re looking at apartheid as you could possibly imagine. As The Times of Israel explains, “The law effectively enshrines capital punishment for Palestinians alone, as it explicitly excludes Israeli citizens or residents, and Palestinians alone are tried in military courts. Israelis are tried in civilian courts.” For years Israel apologists have been admonishing me for calling Israel an apartheid state. For years liberal “moderates” have been saying it’s extreme for me to call Zionism a fundamentally racist and murderous ideology. And yet, here we are. Can’t wait to hear the hasbarists try to spin this one. ❖ On Monday US Secretary of State Marco Rubio slammed Iran for spending its money on weapons instead of investing it toward the benefit of the Iranian people, saying “Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, Iran had spent that money helping the people of Iran. They would have a much different country.” Again, this is an official from the United States of America saying this. Literally the funniest country that could possibly utter this criticism of another country’s military spending. ❖ Violence in the middle east spiraled into a hot war with Iran because the world didn’t have the sense to tell Israel it got what it deserved on October 7. ❖ As Trump threatens to blow up Iranian desalination plants and US-Israeli attacks on civilian targets get more and more egregious, an article from Middle East Eye titled “Iranian livelihoods are being blown apart by US and Israeli bombs” paints a picture of the way people’s lives are being ruined even among those who are fortunate enough to survive the onslaught. “They [the US and Israel] said they were bringing us freedom. Is this what freedom looks like?” says a 40 year-old man in Tehran after his small optical store was obliterated despite no military targets being located in the area. And yet the next time the US wants to bomb a country to topple its government we’re going to see its diaspora cheerleading the attack and telling everyone this time it really is about bringing freedom and democracy to the victims of a tyrannical regime. There are suckers in every country. ❖ It’s hilarious that there are billionaires poisoning every facet of our society and making everyone miserable and starting insane wars and incinerating the biosphere and there are people trying to tell me I should be angry at Muslims.

Fight AND practice highlights of that 49ers-Titans joint session.... 🏈 Brock Purdy was dominant facing a familiar Robert Saleh defense. 13 has been locked in all camp. Especially good in the red zone, where he found Deebo for multiple TDs and again connected with Luke Farrell (growing theme) 🏈Bullying vibe, especially early, from the 49ers defense. Tennessee took exception, hence the fights. A first-play Upton Stout shove and a second-play Dre Greenlaw/Fred Warner TFL on a pitch right set a very physical tone. Then, after Renardo Green leveled Carnell Tate, matters exploded 🏈Two Titans' O-linemen eventually ejected. Skirmish activity extended into back half of practice after 49ers DT Osa Odighizuwa sacked Cam Ward and grabbed his shoulder pad. Tennessee didn't like that 🏈Titans seemed to have some rushing success vs 49ers, though it's very hard to gauge without watching the tape. Ward's accuracy was very inconsistent. Lowlight for him was Ji'Ayir Brown's pick 6, which followed the Osa vs. Dan Moore Jr. Round II 🏈Big picture on 49ers offense: They'll need to be a top-5 unit this year, and Purdy has given every indication that he can guide that type of success from his QB spot. Layered passes, scrambles, elite RZ production... all there 🏈49ers vet DB Nate Hobbs was very active and physical for the 49ers today... seemed to be at the center of much of the action 🏈49ers safety Marques Sigle notched a couple PBUs 🏈Second-year corner Jakob Robinson logged a leaping INT against Titans QB Will Levis. It was intended for WR Mason Kinsev, who seemed to be doing a lot of today's jawing — including one session vs 49ers rookie safety Jalen Stroman 🏈I found Levis throwing a pick with Levi's Stadium in the background was funny 🏈One good red-zone rep for the 49ers involved rookie LBs Jaden Dugger and Larry Worth — nearly 14 feet of combined wingspan between them — flush Levis out of the pocket and force an incompletion. Was an imposing sight; Worth was FIRED UP 🏈Romello Height had some good, explosive work against Moore — a starting LT — that disrupted Ward. A lot of emotion in this one; Height was fired up on the sideline. Offsides flags still a concern 🏈Warner is a strategic instigator — talked quite a bit in Ward's direction in between series🍿. Also a good face-to-face confrontation with the much shorter RB Tyjae Spears 🏈Raheem Morris blitzed Warner numerous times today. The most I can remember Warner being asked to go straight after the QB. Another data point in evaluating this evolving 49ers' defense 🏈Former Stanford WR Elic Ayomanor had some good battles vs 49ers CBs Renardo Green (great coverage on a deep ball) and Jack Jones. Ayomanor beat Jones on a double move but Jones recovered for a last-second PBU 🏈Next up: Preseason opener vs these same Titans. Robert Saleh said Tennessee will play everyone and Kyle Shanahan said the 49ers will sit most starters. All in all, coaches happy with the productive work today.

Lead HPV Vaccine Developer Comes Clean So She Can “Sleep At Night” Dr. Diane Harper was a lead researcher in Merck's Gardasil clinical trials. Also a practicing OB/GYN, she has a unique and invaluable perspective on the efficacy, safety, and social issues of HPV vaccines. ‘Gardasil and Cervarix don’t work, are dangerous, and weren’t tested. Dr. Diane Harper was the lead researcher in the development of the human papilloma virus vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix. She is the latest to come forward and question the safety and effectiveness of these vaccines. She made the surprising announcement at the 4th International Public Conference on Vaccination, which took place in Reston, Virginia on Oct. 2nd through 4th, 2009. Her speech was supposed to promote the Gardasil and Cervarix vaccines, but she instead turned on her corporate bosses in a very public way. When questioned about the presentation, audience members remarked that they came away feeling that the vaccines should not be used. “I came away from the talk with the perception that the risk of adverse side effects is so much greater than the risk of cervical cancer, I couldn’t help but question why we need the vaccine at all.” – Joan Robinson Dr. Harper explained in her presentation that the cervical cancer risk in the U.S. is already extremely low, and that vaccinations are unlikely to have any effect upon the rate of cervical cancer in the United States. In fact, 70% of all H.P.V. infections resolve themselves without treatment in a year, and the number rises to well over 90% in two years. Harper also mentioned the safety angle. All trials of the vaccines were done on children aged 15 and above, despite them currently being marketed for 9-year-olds. So far, over 69,000 girls have reported adverse side effects from Gardasil alone to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (V.A.E.R.S.), and this number only reflects parents who underwent the hurdles required for reporting adverse reactions. At the time of writing, 44 girls are officially known to have died from these vaccines. The reported side effects include Guillian Barré Syndrome (paralysis lasting for years, or permanently — sometimes eventually causing suffocation), lupus, seizures, blood clots, and brain inflammation. Parents are usually not made aware of these risks. Dr. Harper, the vaccine developer, claimed that she was speaking out, so that she might finally be able to sleep at night. “About eight in every ten women who have been sexually active will have H.P.V. at some stage of their life. Normally there are no symptoms, and in 98 per cent of cases it clears itself. But in those cases where it doesn’t, and isn’t treated, it can lead to pre-cancerous cells which may develop into cervical cancer.” – Dr. Diane Harper One must understand how the establishment’s word games are played to truly understand the meaning of the above quote, and one needs to understand its unique version of “science”. When they report that untreated cases “can” lead to something that “may” lead to cervical cancer, it really means that the relationship is merely a hypothetical conjecture that is profitable if people actually believe it. In other words, there is no demonstrated relationship between the condition being vaccinated for and the rare cancers that the vaccine might prevent, but it is marketed to do that nonetheless. In fact, there is no actual evidence that the vaccine can prevent any cancer. From the manufacturers own admissions, the vaccine only works on 4 strains out of 40 for a specific venereal disease that dies on its own in a relatively short period, so the chance of it actually helping an individual is about about the same as the chance of them being struck by a meteorite. Why do nine-year-old girls need vaccinations for extremely rare and symptom-less venereal diseases that the immune system usually kills anyway?’

Lead HPV Vaccine Developer Comes Clean So She Can “Sleep At Night” Dr. Diane Harper was a lead researcher in Merck's Gardasil clinical trials. Also a practicing OB/GYN, she has a unique and invaluable perspective on the efficacy, safety, and social issues of HPV vaccines. ‘Gardasil and Cervarix don’t work, are dangerous, and weren’t tested. Dr. Diane Harper was the lead researcher in the development of the human papilloma virus vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix. She is the latest to come forward and question the safety and effectiveness of these vaccines. She made the surprising announcement at the 4th International Public Conference on Vaccination, which took place in Reston, Virginia on Oct. 2nd through 4th, 2009. Her speech was supposed to promote the Gardasil and Cervarix vaccines, but she instead turned on her corporate bosses in a very public way. When questioned about the presentation, audience members remarked that they came away feeling that the vaccines should not be used. “I came away from the talk with the perception that the risk of adverse side effects is so much greater than the risk of cervical cancer, I couldn’t help but question why we need the vaccine at all.” – Joan Robinson Dr. Harper explained in her presentation that the cervical cancer risk in the U.S. is already extremely low, and that vaccinations are unlikely to have any effect upon the rate of cervical cancer in the United States. In fact, 70% of all H.P.V. infections resolve themselves without treatment in a year, and the number rises to well over 90% in two years. Harper also mentioned the safety angle.

Rory McIlroy said it, but no one is paying attention, especially those from major golf organizations and the PGA Tour board At the Valero Texas Open pre-tournament Wednesday interview Rory McIlroy said: “It will be really interesting to see how the major championship numbers fare compared to the other bigger events because there’s an argument to be made if the numbers are better and you’ve got all the best players in the world playing, then there’s an argument to say ‘OK, we need to get this thing back together.’ “But on the flip side, if the numbers aren’t as good, it’s an argument to still say we need to put everyone back together because people are losing interest in the game even if they don’t want to tune in to the four major championships.” The Masters final round ratings came out today and there is a reported 20% drop in TV viewership from last year’s final round. Earlier in the week ESPN reported that it had its largest two-day average (3.4 million viewers) for the first and second rounds of The Masters tournament since 2018. Coincidentally the first-round leader of the tournament was @b_dechambeau , Tiger Woods was back and playing decent (the first two rounds) and world #1 Scottie Scheffler was one shot back from DeChambeau. At the end of the second round DeChambeau was tied for the lead with Scheffler, and Tiger Woods made the cut. No wonder ESPN had good viewership numbers for the first two rounds. A LIV Golf player was tied for the lead with world number #1 Scottie Scheffler after the second round and Tiger Woods made his 24th consecutive cut in The Masters, a record for major championships. Then everything went downhill from there. At the end of the third round DeChambeau had faded to 5th place, 4 shots behind the leader Scheffler and at that point everyone had Scheffler as the tournament winner, which he won on Sunday. Scheffler played wonderful golf and dominated the last round of the tournament, he won by 4 shots over a PGA Tour player playing in his first ever major championship and 7 strokes over a group of Tour veterans. LIV Golf players Cam Smith and DeChambeau finished in a tie for 6th place, 9 shots back of the winner. The tournament was decided early in the final round, there were no back nine roars, and no one really threatened Scheffler’s lead. In the past when Tiger Woods had those dominant tournaments the TV ratings did not suffer. On the contrary, sometimes they increased. There are four factors for the drop in TV ratings: 1. The lack of charismatic players at the top of that leaderboard, starting with the eventual winner Scottie Scheffler and followed by a Tour rookie with a wonderful game but not much personality. Scheffler is playing the best golf in the world and is the undisputed world #1 but as we say in Spanish, he is a “huevo sin sal” (a boiled egg without salt), his game is awesome, but even with all the push from the golf establishment he doesn’t have the charisma or the “star power” of a Woods, McIlroy or DeChambeau to name a few. 2. All the analysts gave the tournament to Scheffler at the start of the week and once he had the solo lead after the third round it was over for the viewers. They had been hearing all week that Scheffler was going to win it, and the golf media did not really push anyone else. 3. The lack of LIV golfers within close distance of Scheffler like it happened on the first two rounds, and CBS not showing much of those LIV players closer to the lead on Sunday. Four LIV players finished in the top 12 but LIV Golf fans saw little of them on TV. CBS ignored the LIV fans while ESPN was showing plenty of LIV players since Wednesday’s par 3 contest, big mistake by CBS! 4. Golf is divided! Like Rory said, “we need to put everyone back together because people are losing interest in the game.” That losing interest translates to 20% less on the PGA Tour and now 20% less on the final round of a major that is considered the biggest draw. Just a couple of weeks ago the women’s college National Basketball Championship game had almost twice as many viewers as The Masters final round. Now they will try to spin the bad ratings numbers with streaming app numbers, but we have been hearing for three years that streaming numbers does not count. For them, suddenly, streaming numbers are valuable! What the major golf organizations should do is stop the pettiness, move the egos to the side, ACCEPT that your industry is being disrupted (it was there for the taking, but you guys were asleep on the wheel), listen to what McIlroy and Jon Rahm Rodriguez have to say, and instead of dividing it further, get together in a room and solve this problem at ONCE (not in a year or two to see what happens or to wait for other investments like the TGL to get off the ground), do it for the good of the game! A lot has been said about the players greed and the money talks, but the major golf organizations and its leaders (Ridley, Tiger, Whan, Waugh, Slumbers, Kinnings, Monahan/Herlihy, et al.) are the greediest and most power hungry of them all, and are doing a disservice to the game of golf.

Listening to people complain about the Tesla Robotaxi rollout reminds me of that scene in Idiocracy where President Camacho promises everyone that Not Sure (Ashok) is going to fix all the country's problems, and do it all in one week. It turns out that the economy is collapsing because people have been watering the crops with Gatorade instead of water. They switch back to water, but by the time the week is over Not Sure is fighting for his life roman gladiator style in a giant colosseum. Then people realize that the crops actually *are* growing with the water, and his life is saved just in time. I remember a time when the Tesla community was a powerful force in pushing back against naysayers. When a chorus of haters and short sellers said "Model 3 production is too slow. They will never reach 5,000 a week. They will never reach profitability" it was the Tesla community that pushed back and said they believed in the company. And sure enough the company did eventually scale up Model 3 and Y, did eventually hit profitability, and did eventually hit their targets even if they missed them a few times first. The Tesla community saw that because they understood the company in a way the naysayers didn't. Now, many of those some people have become the naysayers. I can't blame them completely. A lot of the people who understood EVs and the auto industry very well are left scratching their head trying to understand AI, autonomy, and robotaxis. You've got a bunch of options traders who are not AI experts but bought options that are expiring now, hoping Robotaxi would have scaled further. Just like the people in Idiocracy they have good reason to be upset — they're hungry, and the crops aren't growing. But just like the naysayers were wrong about Tesla being unable to scale the Model 3 & Y, today's naysayers couldn't be more wrong about Tesla being unable to scale Robotaxi. At this point they have hundreds of fully driverless cars registered in 6 cities. This is the first time this has ever been done with pure computer vision. How many announcements and signs of progress can you dismiss before you finally admit what is happening? This is not a linear thing. The first step in deploying Robotaxis is to put a few on the road and see how they work. And no, it's not just going to be perfect out of the box on the first day. There are going to be issues you couldn't forsee, unique problems in new areas, and improvements to be made. But once you can do 200 driverless cars safely, it doesn't take much more to scale to 1,000 and beyond. Just look at last week in Texas where we went from 100 to 175 cars registered in a 24 hour period. The number increased slowly, then all at once in one big jump. That is how exponential growth works. If you're looking at the initial growth and trying to extrapolate that out linearly, you're going to be way off. It feels like everyone is so focused on Elon not solving everything in one week like he promised that they're missing the fact that it is actually working. The crops actually are starting to grow. How are people not seeing the progress of FSD 14.3.6, FSD 14 lite, and all the new cities Robotaxi is entering? Remember when driving a car with pure vision, without LIDAR or Radar, was supposed to be impossible? That's the magic of Elon Musk. He takes what is supposed to be impossible — a reusable spaceship, generalized self-driving cars at scale — and makes what's supposed to be impossible feel like it's actually late. When he starts on a project, they say it can never be done. By the time he finishes, people are asking why they didn't finish it faster. Say what you will, but the Tesla team is absolutely executing right now. They are killing it. I can't be the only one that sees the signs. Everything I've seen tells me that they are going to scale this. As they add more training compute, as the data set grows larger, as the fleet crosses 10 million cars, as they ship FSD 15 and their AI5 and AI6 chips, the cars are just going to keep getting smarter and smarter. The capabilities of these autonomous vehicles are already starting to cross into the realm of superhuman, and they're not stopping there. If you want to point out every stumble, every missed deadline, every limitation in the current Robotaxi service, that's your prerogative. You have the right to say whatever you want. But I think that as we look back on this time, these people are going to look extremely dumb in hindsight. When autonomous vehicles blanket the globe, we'll ask how people didn't see it earlier as the service expanded into 7 markets. This company has nearly 10 million cars on the road. More than 12 billion FSD miles have been driven around the globe. And international expansion is just starting. This is the company that developed Cybercab to be as dead simple as possible. To not require any paint. They built a vehicle that can truly bring generalized autonomy to the masses around the world. I can't believe how many people are unable to see it. Based on everything I'm seeing, I've never had more conviction that this technology is going to change the world. AI is beginning to reach out of our computer and into the physical world, and Tesla has a central role to play in making that a reality.

Jarvis Landry says after getting paid $75,000,000 and joining the Browns, he deliberately kept training like he was “dead broke” to set a standard “I played around a lot of talented players that also had a different mindset, bro. They just thought different. When you’re around like-minded people, or when you’re around people that think like that, either you’ve got to catch up or you’re going to get kicked off the ship.” “That was something that I developed, and that’s something that I still had in Miami. Miami had a little bit more of a culture. We had older players like Cameron Wake. I say his name first off the top of my head because that’s one of the leaders that was on the team. He spoke in the huddles, he spoke in team meetings and things like that.” “Then when I got to Cleveland, it was like none of that was around, literally. Everybody was looking around like, ‘Who’s going to say anything? Is anybody going to say anything?’ I didn’t say that I saw an opportunity there to go in and give a speech or whatever.” “That led from us training through the offseason. Once I got signed there, I started flying guys here, just trying to do things together, see who I’m going to work with, learning about these guys, seeing how hard they work. Do they think like I think? Showing them, ‘Yeah, I just got paid, but I’m still out here running routes in offseason training.’ Somebody working like I’m dead broke.” “So when we got to training camp, we practiced one day and guys are like, ‘my hamstring sore.’ I’m like, ‘So what have you been doing this whole time, fam?’ The next day we get the script, you see the numbers and a couple guys aren’t practicing. I’m like, ‘So why?’ ‘His hamstring is sore,’ or his quad, or his feet hurt. I’m like, ‘You could take practice off for being sore?’” “I went in the training room and the trainer explained to me about a couple guys that had some chronic issues, mostly linemen. The other shit, I’m like, So what?’ He’s like, ‘We don’t want to, it’s too early to get guys hurt.’ That kind of ticked me off because my hamstrings hurt too. My hip flexors hurt too. My feet hurt too.” “That was kind of what led to me giving the ‘weakness is contagious speech’. Bro, I can’t be great that way. If every time I feel resistance or pain, if I always just pull back from it to try to feel better, I’m not going to get past what I need to get past to try to be great.”

Jarvis Landry says after getting paid $75,000,000 and joining the Browns, he deliberately kept training like he was “dead broke” to set a standard “I played around a lot of talented players that also had a different mindset, bro. They just thought different. When you’re around like-minded people, or when you’re around people that think like that, either you’ve got to catch up or you’re going to get kicked off the ship.” “That was something that I developed, and that’s something that I still had in Miami.
