After Donald Trump's conviction on 34 felony counts, his media allies responded with a torrent of anger and blame, fueling extreme rhetoric and demands for retribution. Prominent right-wing media figures unleashed a wave of incendiary commentary, lashing out at figures like Judge Juan Merchan, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, President Joe Biden, and the entire U.S. justice system.
Fox News and other conservative outlets became battlegrounds for pro-Trump personalities. Jesse Watters declared, "We're going to vanquish the evil forces that are destroying this republic." Laura Ingraham claimed Democrats were exercising "the type of power we usually see dictators exercise in China and Cuba and North Korea." Sean Hannity lamented, "the foundation of our constitutional republic is literally dying before your eyes."
This dangerous and reckless rhetoric, surpassing charged language of the past, is stoking desires for retribution among Trump supporters. The commentary in right-wing media is becoming increasingly angry, menacing, and dark, with talk of the United States transforming into a third-world dictatorship becoming the norm.
Despite the hyperbolic rhetoric, it's important to remember that Trump received a fair trial, and the United States is not a third-world country.

What are your predictions for the type of season 50 will be? All Stars with only new era players? Heroes vs Villians 2.0? Fans vs Favorites 3.0? New-School vs Old-School? Or something else? What is your prediction vs what do you wish it would be? Who would do you think would be cast in your prediction vs who would you like to see in your dream season for 50?
For me i have a few types of seasons I’d love to see in the future. But i honestly would love an all stars/HvV/FvF with only new era players because there’s a number of them that I do actually liked and would enjoy seeing come back.
In this scenario (NE only) I’d love to see: Shan Danny Ricard Xander Deshawn Lydia Chanelle Tori Drea Karla Jesse Cassidy Carson Carolyn Kaleb Emily Kellie Drew Austin Katurah Jelinsky (JK🤣🤣) Tevin Hunter Tiffany Q Charlie
In addition, I have a few other returner seasons I’d love to see (besides HvV2, FvF3, Old v New):
“Most loved Players” with all of the types of players that would never make it to the end again because they would be deemed too much of a threat: Joe, Malcolm, Spencer, Wentworth, Cirie, Aubrey, Andrea, etc. etc
“Dynamic Duos” similar to BvW in that players that were in a “dynamic duo” are paired together: Dom and Wendell, Carson and Carolyn, Cody and Jesse, etc.
“Gold Vs Silver Vs Bronze” with a team of past winners, a team of second places, and a team of bronze which could be made it to final 3 but got no or very little votes compared to the other 2, or got voted out at final 3 if it was a final 2 season, or lost at fire making at final 4
“Outwit, Outplay, Outlast” where there are 3 tribes split up based on the past players’ attributes in the game (outplay: Ozzy, Joe, Wentworth, etc; outlast: Aubrey, Colby, Amanda, etc)
I’d also love to see a “CBS Reality” season with players from Survivor (obvs), BB, Amazing Race, and the Challenge. Imagine Johnny Bananas going to bat against Tony or Boston Rob lol. I’d especially love to see the survivors that have been on the challenge and see how those dynamics and relationships would play out. It would be a lot of drama and I’m here for it!
I wanna hear others’ thoughts!! Thanks for reading!

If you take Football Strategy seriously this is a must read, especially for D coordinators.
As a Seahawks fan I’m sad to see Pete go but excited for the new era of MacDonald.
NYT has a new article describing his defensive philosophy with some good specifics. I’ve copied to text to avoid the paywall:
A defensive philosophical shift is happening in the NFL, and new Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald is at the heart of it. The league transitioned a few years ago from the Seattle Cover 3 era into the Vic Fangio shell defense era, focused on stopping explosive plays. Like those from Pete Carroll’s coaching tree, most who branched out from Fangio’s tree mostly struggled to replicate his system. However, Fangio’s overarching philosophy of keeping a lid on top of offenses succeeded in permeating the league, and its emphasis on cutting down explosive plays is a reason scoring has trended downward in the past couple of seasons. However, not every coach wanted to sit back and just play coverage. Former Ravens defensive coordinator Wink Martindale went against the grain and continued to blitz as much as possible. That style saw success in Baltimore, but head coach John Harbaugh eventually wanted a more balanced, flexible attack, so he replaced Martindale with his former protege Mike Macdonald in 2022. His impact was felt immediately, and last season, the Ravens ranked first in nearly every major statistical category including DVOA. The Seahawks’ hired him to be their head coach this offseason, while his defensive line coach Zach Orr was promoted to Ravens defensive coordinator, and three other assistants got coordinator jobs elsewhere (Anthony Weaver, Dolphins; Dennard Wilson, Titans; Jesse Minter, Chargers). That means five teams this season will be running the Macdonald system — so what is that system? The Sean McVay of defense Macdonald isn’t doing anything particularly unique schematically. He learned many of his blitzes and pressures from Martindale, whom he coached under from 2018-2021, except Martindale mostly used single-high safety defenses, and Macdonald calls a lot of two-deep defenses. There are some similarities to the Fangio system on early downs. The Ravens showed a lot of two-deep safeties before rotating into their coverages to disguise. Macdonald is aggressive, but he actually doesn’t bring more than four rushers much. The Ravens have ranked 22nd in blitz percentage (13.7 percent) since 2022. Macdonald pressures offenses with the illusion of multiplicity and simulated pressures (four-man rushes with one or more rushers coming from the second or third level with one or two defensive linemen dropping into coverage).
When he does blitz, offenses usually have no idea where the pressure is coming from because his defenses can present so many different looks from week to week. The Ravens were so multiple because of the unique way Macdonald teaches and structures his pressure packages. “What the Ravens have done so well is they pressure in so many ways that you can’t get a bead on them,” former NFL center A.Q. Shipley told The Athletic. “The other thing that’s great about them is you might watch them one week against Pittsburgh and it looks completely different against Cleveland, so it’s tough, too, because you’ve got to make so many in-game adjustments.” One of the reasons the Ravens could present so many different looks for offenses to deal with is how Macdonald teaches his pressure packages. Many defenses teach their fronts (where the defensive line and linebackers line up) with their blitzes. This approach makes sense because defenders have to know where to line up, what their assignments are and how to get to their assignments.
For example, on this page from the Seahawks’ 2012 defensive playbook, the staff taught this particular pressure from their “tuff” front. Tuff tells the defensive line that they’ll have four defensive linemen and two linebackers on the line with the Mike linebacker and free safety on the second level. When the defense gets the call, they know that both outside backers are rushing and every defensive lineman is running a stunt. Instead of learning pressures attached to fronts, Macdonald teaches his players pressure patterns so they know each other’s jobs and how to execute different pressures from different fronts. This approach isn’t particularly unique to Macdonald. Some coaches teach some of their pressures this way but Macdonald completely leans into it to ensure his system is as flexible and easy to learn as possible. Then he can easily mix fronts and pressures and add layers to them. The Ravens don’t deploy a ton of different fronts and pressures, but they have endless ways of changing the presentation for offenses. Essentially, he’s taking Sean McVay’s philosophy of making everything look the same until it isn’t but applying it to his pressure packages.
What’s in a name? Another important feature of Macdonald’s system is purposeful nomenclature for each pressure. Though using nomenclature seems like a simple tool, the language of football — even at the highest level — can be confusing with terminology drawn from different systems and eras that have nothing to do with each other. Macdonald has a naming system for his pressures that makes it easier for players to learn and recall. For example, the defense could have 10 ways to run a simulated pressure with one player blitzing from the strong side and the weak end dropping into coverage. Each of those pressures is siloed together. Hypothetically, those types of simulated pressures could be named after NBA teams, so if players hear an NBA team name, they know what pressure they are running. The first letter of the name could be where it’s coming from, and from there, they can figure out everyone else’s job. For example, “Suns” can tell the defense that the safety is blitzing from the strong side, while the end from the weak side is dropping. The defense can run “Suns” from multiple fronts without teaching an entirely new blitz. Also, by understanding the entire pressure pattern or call because of the name rather than just their individual jobs, they know what everyone else is doing, which makes it easier to switch positions when they want to add confusion for offenses. “He’s doing a unique job. … I’ve kind of never experienced it,” Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey said at minicamp during Macdonald’s first season as defensive coordinator. “He’s really having everybody understand the whole philosophy of mainly just the group of coverages, as opposed to: ‘You got this call. How do you play this call?’ He’s kind of saying, grouping these calls all together, like, ‘What is the whole idea of this call?’ So I think he’s done a really good job of kind of really helping us all be smarter, to where I know what the D-line’s doing. I also know what the linebacker is doing. I also know what the safety’s doing — because ‘The reason why I call this defense is because of this.'”

i just finished rewatching 41 and specifically after watching episode 10 (one of the best episodes of survivor ever, like wow i don’t remember it hitting me like this the first time i watched. the music, the buildup, the ending….oscar worthy), i can’t stop thinking about the scene at the reward where shan and ricard are talking about their future in the game and they get emotional because they know they have to duke it out eventually and shan started crying and then in his confessional ricard says “we have not ever said to each other that we are final two. we have enough respect and love for each other to say ‘hey, we’re gonna have to fight it out one day’”. i can’t think of any other time when a tight duo was so upfront with each other and/or didn’t hold a grudge over being voted out by the other (except maybe with cody and jesse). i understand it hurts to be betrayed by your #1, but STILL, how often have people made it to the end with their #1s, especially when they’re both strategic?? you know you’re going to have to take each other out eventually, so i wish players weren’t so butthurt about it and could have the mutual understanding and respect that shan and ricard had for each other. and no, i’m not just saying this because of a certain 46 jury member lol. i’m still just in so much awe of that episode, that conversation and their relationship. thoughts? or can anyone think of other duos i might be forgetting who had a similar understanding/mindset?

This is my ideal, best case scenario for season 50 Three tribes of 12, 50 days. Basically there would have to be a bunch of double eliminations but with the 90 minutes or maybe even 2 hours if it gets to crazy it would be enough to follow the gameplay and characters.
The tribes would be divided by old school (1-20), middle school, (20-40) and new school 41-49).
I tried to to the cast as diverse as possible and understand there is a diversity mandate but this would be my ideal cast
Old school Men: Rob C, Coach, Sean, Rupert, Earl cole, Russell hantz. Women: T-bird, Jenna lewis, Natalie bolton, Taj, Stephenie lagrossa and Cirie
Middle school: Men: Domenick, Davie, Christian, Malcolm, Devens and Mike holloway Women: Desi, Lauren (IOI), Wentworth, Angelina, Natalie Anderson and Tasha
New school: Men: Q, Jesse Lopez, Charlie, Kaleb, Ricard and Yam Yam Women: Maryanne, Venus, Carolyn, Shan, Karla and Emily
Who do you think is a lock and who would you love to see back?

Predictions may change as usual. May be a few days early till June, but I wanted to make another update after the Cannes Festival.
