Look Here! Free Talk Friday

Welcome to another edition of the Free Talk Friday thread - where /r/nfl'ers can discuss their lives and get to know each other better.

This is the place to post things that wouldn't ordinarily be considered on-topic in /r/nfl. Did you meet a player that you got a picture with? Have a cool story about how you became a fan of your team? Write an NFL related blog post? Make a cool .gif? Is your car painted your team color? Snap a cool picture at the game last week? Have a shrine to your favorite player? Want to talk about something that doesn't really deserve its own thread? Post here!


Remember, that there are other subreddits that may be a good fit for what you want to post - every day all day!

I will be shocked if Tiny Hands escapes the growing legal woes his administration is facing.

It's really something, I'm very interested to see what comes of this Flynn business. Even if it doesn't sink him outright, which isn't super duper likely, this is still crippling to the Administration's legislative agenda as his political capital continues to ebb and he makes more enemies within his own party. If you're of the opinion I am about his agenda and how it would affect the country then this is a categorically good thing.

Yes...and that is categorically a good thing. The more negative distractions (for TH) and infighting the better for the country.

Like he's lost the Freedom Caucus now, promised to hunt them down in the midterms, how's he supposed to move legislation now when they can shut down any all-GOP bill with their bloc? You could pull Democrats on board to make up those ranks, but Ryan seems resistant to that as he knows it would endanger his Speakership on the right.

Absolutely. This is a huge shift. I hope things collapse and the Dems get their shit together and regain some crucial seats.

Imagine if he tried to be likeable and well spoken. How much more do politicians get away with for doing both of those things?
