You ever catch anything from Noam Chomsky? There's a marvelous documentary on Netflix titled "Requiem for the American Dream" and all it is is Noam sitting in his chair, being brilliant.

There's also some good Al Jazeera content with him (interviews) on YouTube.

I watch/read him. Don't agree with him entirely but I appreciate his approach. You can go back to the debates with Buckely and find a trove of thought provoking work.

I'm anti-religious and find A-Jz too apologetic to Islam. Their AJz-America wasn't too bad but the print from the main has a pro-Islam bent that I find distasteful. I will read it if I am looking into ME and Africa issues more deeply though. Basically if you promote Hadith its a nonstarter for me.

I find some of their content amazing (AJz). I can see why you feel that way though, they do tend to favor, and be a tad apologetic for Islamic ideals.

For me, it's NPR, BBC, AJz, and PBS (Frontline and NOVA destroy anything VICE puts out, plus all their Ken Burns content).

I also adore Noam. :) Dude is a friggin' rockstar.

Frontline and NOVA are excellent. I like 60 minutes too.

NPR and BBC are not bad at all for factual reporting but they go out of their way to give an even keel. I trust them as sources though. I like Politico as well. Texas Tribune for local stuff.

So, the Iggles had the #1 OL and the Cowboys OL was #9, huh?
Methinks this article was brainstormed by an Eagles fan! :muttley:

Not only that but I'm wondering what's in that pipe he's smoking!

Saw PFF in title.
Ignored the list.
Most over used and over rated source in ALL of sports.
Fair play to them though for making money off suckering idiots into using it though.

9? That is an absolute joke. There's a question mark at guard after losing Leary, I can understand that. But Collins is already an improvement over Free, We all kind of agree with that right? Whoever they end up replacing Leary with just has to be adequate because of who he's surrounded with. Smith, Martin and Frederick alone make it the best. I'm being a total homer and I don't care. The Browns are 2nd. Ridiculous. The Bears have a better line than the Cowboys too? What a bunch of morons

PT Barnum is once again proven right by the success of PFF

And this is why you can't take PFF seriously. The only time they do anything meaningful is if they compare pass rush efficiency per snap. But a monkey could do that when given the data.

You should have stopped taking PFF seriously last year when they ranked our secondary #1.

Oh. They are all liberal right? Ergo, fake, right?
Exactly. Now you are getting it.
It's already been established they manufacture false news. That's not even debatable.
As far as liberal, that's ok to report as a liberal as long as you're honest and don't represent yourself as fair.
