Some people are fans of the Philadelphia Eagles. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Philadelphia Eagles. This 2024 Defector NFL team preview is for those in the latter group.

Everyone hated this team. The fans hated them. The analytics hated them. The betting public hated them. Best of all (for me), they all hated one another. And they still do, thanks to this fella!

Your coach: Nick Sirianni.

The board will pay over $15,000 to resolve the suit. That includes $14,845 in attorneys’ fees and costs to FFRF and cooperating counsel. The board will also pay one dollar for nominal damages to The Satanic Temple and $196.71 for various fees previously paid by the Temple in connection with rental reservations that had not yet been refunded.

Further, the Shelby County Board of Education has agreed not to discriminate against the organization with regard to its requests to rent and use school board property at Chimneyrock Elementary School; the Temple will be subject to the same rules and requirements as other nonprofit organizations seeking to rent or use the school’s facilities. In addition, the school board’s administration has promised not to hold any press conference with regard to the Temple’s lawful rental or use of school property.

"Greenwood's behaviour is unspeakable, unacceptable," Marseille Mayor Benoit Payan told French radio station RMC on Tuesday. "Hitting his wife ... I saw images that deeply shocked me. Massacring his wife in this way is unbecoming of a man and he cannot have his place on this team.

"The values ​​of OM and Marseille are anything but that in fact. It's a shame. I will ask [Marseille president] Pablo Longoria not to recruit Greenwood. I don't want my club to be covered with the shame of someone who hits his wife."

One of our core jobs as a union is to improve the overall working conditions for our players, which includes the daily experience of players at the team facilities away from the lights and cameras.

1,706 of our players provided information to share with one another about their current club, to not only help them make important career decisions, but also help raise standards across the league.

Our goals were to highlight positive clubs, identify areas that could use improvement, and highlight best practices and standards. To learn more about the background of this initiative, read a note from President JC Tretter here.

I'd be A-OK with more Oglaf -- thanks for posting this!

Folks should be aware that it can run NSFW at times.

But perhaps the wildest example of this trend is Baby’s Day Out, the 1994 comedy in which Joe Mantegna tries to kidnap an infant, with near-fatal results.

That's because the US enacted a law called the Wolf Amendment in 2011, which prevents NASA from using government funds to cooperate directly with China.

A team meeting with teenage soccer players isn’t normally something to make news but this particular event, held in 200-plus capacity event space at Red Bull Arena with every player from the club’s top under-12 to under-17 teams, was a little different.

States can establish religions. Federal government can't.

Over the last 150 years, the Supreme Court has pretty consistently found that the Bill of Rights applies to state as well as federal government: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incorporation_of_the_Bill_of_Rights

See especially https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everson_v._Board_of_Education:

Everson v. Board of Education ... was a landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court that applied the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to state law.

Barkley now beats the franchise tag number and has a maximum average-per-year salary of $15.833 million, which would be second highest for a running back in NFL history.

"I fulfilled a lifelong dream by making it to the NFL. But what I didn't know at the time was how much of an honor and privilege it would be to represent the city of Philadelphia and the Eagles organization for the next 12 seasons," Cox wrote in a statement posted to Instagram on Sunday.

Respectfully, Defector is about the furthest thing from a spam blog that you'll find on the internet, my dude/lady.

It was formed a few years back by writers fleeing the sinking ship that was Deadspin.

I'd encourage you to check out some of their other articles and judge for yourself.

Republicans dropped Rep. Jim Jordan on Friday as their nominee for House speaker, making the decision during a closed-door session after the hard-edged ally of Donald Trump failed badly on a third ballot for the gavel.

The blocked-House impasse deepening, Republicans have no realistic or workable plan to unite the fractured GOP majority, elect a new speaker and return to the work of Congress that has been languishing since hard-liners ousted Kevin McCarthy at the start of the month.

[BGN] Britain Covey has won me over (www.bleedinggreennation.com)

I’m not asking for a touchdown on every return but I am looking for some excitement. I’m looking for someone who can change games for us! Enter Devon Allen, a world class sprinter who broke a huge return in preseason. Sure, it’s rare to have an actual kickoff return these days but if he did well last night as the kick returner, maybe he could take over punt return duties and we’d have our guy. There was only one problem with my plan…Britain f***in’ Covey.

Ditto, well put, thanks.

Serious question, what are we looking at and/or being mildly infuriated about here?

This would be a good way to subtly "remind" the user which account they're currently using/logged in as.

This would basically involve either (a) moving the "primary color" widget from the "appearance" section to the "account detail" page; or (b) making the "primary color" widget into a sub-section of its own, and where each account is listed.

A thousand times this!

In the meantime, if someone could post a quick walkthrough on how to easily get from

Point A: A link that looks like "https://sopuli.xyz/c/homebrewing"

to

Point B: Community page is opened natively in Jerboa, by way of 'my' instance, with the 'subscribe' option close at hand.

OT: In Jerboa (lemmy app), why does clicking those community links open in a browser?

My understanding is that if I want to engage with a community on another instance, I need to "go to" that community from my own instance.. right?

But when Jerboa opens the community in a browser, I can't subscribe or anything since at that point I'm "on" the other instance, which of course has no idea who I am.
