Yeah, leopards eating each other’s faces, once again. Let them eat up each other thoroughly, until they’re done and only bones are left. ---

> [@kenobi\_65](#): > > If, by “legend”, you mean, “a nine-year NFL career as a journeyman quarterback and sometime starter,” then sure, Kyle Boller was a legend. Yeah, he only played one full season of football as a starter, with an unimpressive 13:11 TD:Interception ratio, leading his team to a 9-7 record (so barely a winning season) and missing the playoffs. And that was his _best_ year as a QB in the NFL. I’d never even heard of the guy before, he’s maybe a legend in his own mind. He was definitely below average. She’s probably more notable for her beauty pageant success than for being married to a former NFL draft bust. _The Mirror_ is embellishing things a **lot** , to everyone’s shock. ---

I don’t know for which team he’s played, haven’t looked him up, and I watch football games. Particularly Chicago. Don’t tell me he’s played for the Bears. ---

> [@bobot](#): > > Don’t tell me he’s played for the Bears. Mostly the Ravens (they drafted him and his only full season was there). He had one season as a Ram (back in St Louis) where he had only 4 starts and his last two years as a Raider (and only had one start in those two years in Oakland). He hasn’t played since 2011. ---

Yeah, “legend” is a bit of a stretch. I do recall him because I was paying more attention to the draft around then. He wasn’t even that bad a player to be a legendary draft bust, like JaMarcus Russell. Just another in a long line of journeyman players only memorable because he played QB. ---

But how much power does **Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf** actually have? _The New York Times_ is reporting that the regime is having some trouble coordinating after so many people were killed. They’re scared to meet in person these individuals, or to have their calls apparently hacked. With different leaders in place, Iranian negotiators may have little knowledge about what their government is willing to concede, Or even whom precisely to ask. So if we cannot come to some type of peace deal with people who can’t be trusted, then what?” wondered Ingraham. ---
