Good one! (Y)

hmm, maybe the humor is lost in the different use of words. I am guessing "Takeaways" is like fast food? Also assuming you are saying players are fat because of the amount of Fast Food (Takeaway) they have?

Ugh... Thank God I read the joke first, you would have ruined it! :D

Takeaway is essentially fast food "to go".

So you order and take it right with you.

Some of you are taking it way too seriously! :laugh:

That's what I was thinking...

Don't try to force truth in every joke... You miss out a lot of good laughs that do no harm! ;)

Failthread.

Hardly a fail just because you didn't get it.

A lot of the players aren't even fat to begin with.

And... BJ Raji is because his job is basically to be a brick wall that blocks the opposing team.

He is very good at his job

So.... Some are....?

You may call them "Fat"

However most of them do more activities than most people....

Admit it....

How often do you run and tackle people? Plus train on the field or weight lift?

And a "Take Away" is usually referred to the amount of turnovers due to a fumble (and in the case you posted above that meant Green Bay took the ball away from the other teams 38 times during a season) and can also refer to a call being reversed (rarely is called a take away) Though I have seen it being called for example-- after a touchdown is given but then is taken back due to penalty...

Has nothing to do with food or being fat....

Oh and FYI

When a linebacker breaks through a defensive line it is OK to call it a drive-thu

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      Surprise Execs are dumb. I hope the rehired engineers said were not coming back until we get 2x our salary.
    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI by David Uzondu Ford recently announced that over the last three years, it's had to rehire about 350 "gray beard" engineers to mentor younger staff and reprogram diagnostic systems and AI tools that were failing to meet up to quality expectations. The company's VP of vehicle hardware engineering, Charles **** said that leaders overlooked the deep experience of veterans who survived many product cycles. **** admitted that simply replacing them with AI was a huge mistake, and that while AI is "a fantastic tool," it remains "only as good as the information you use to train it." The rehired engineers now run mandatory meetings to troubleshoot vehicles and reprogram automated engineering software and AI tools to prevent glitches before production. These technical specialists hunt for failure points before parts ever reach the plant floor, helping prevent the massive recalls and defects that previously cost the company billions as it aims to cut one billion dollars in expenses this year. In last year's JD Power Quality Survey, an annual study that measures the quality of a car during the first three months of ownership, Ford finished 10th among mainstream brands and scored below the industry average. But this year, JD Power ranked the automaker as the top mainstream brand, placing it above the likes of Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda Motor Co. Ford attributed this massive improvement directly to the expertise of these returned engineers. Ford's realization that AI cannot magically design and test quality vehicles without senior human oversight is just the tip of the iceberg. When Careerminds looked at companies that conducted AI-driven layoffs, researchers found out that 35.6% of those companies had to rehire more than half of the employees they previously fired. Another 32.7% had to rehire between 25% and 50% of them. In 2024, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO of Klarna, proudly announced that its new chatbot was doing the work of 700 full-time customer service agents. As a result, the fintech company froze hiring and cut hundreds of positions. But by mid 2025, and into 2026, Klarna was scrambling to recruit human agents again because customer satisfaction had plummeted. It turns out, while AI is very good at answering basic questions like how to check an account balance, when faced with complex customer issues that require nuance, the thing usually resorts to the unhelpful, robotic corporate jargon we all know and love.

      In a sane world US antitrust laws wouldn't even allow these companies to be in the position to be subjected to EU directives. As you say, better than oligarch nothing.
    • Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027

      Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 Good grief, Apple hasn't even released a first folding phone and the Apple faithful is already obsessing over the sequel? Seriously people, go out and touch grass... because this level of obsession is borderline stalkery/neurotic.
