That's unfortunate. Especially since the game is turning into a shoot out. 51 points with a possibility for more before the half.

Christian Watson is rostered in 41% of Yahoo league. He'll probably be a popular WW grab this week. He'll break your heart.

J. Camarda punted for 47 yards. R. Shaheed returned punt for 54 yard touchdown (B. Grupe made PAT) Thank You Rashid!

You're right. I should have been more specific. The nation will be nothing more than a smoldering pile of rubble in 10 years.

Let's dig in. Here's the official press release from the US Department of Justice. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-sues-south-bend-indiana-discriminating-against-black-and-female-police Interesting tidbits from that release. The lawsuit alleges that, since at least 2016, South Bend has used a written examination that has disproportionately excluded Black applicants and a physical fitness test that has disproportionately excluded female applicants from consideration for police officer positions. The department also seeks relief for Black and female applicants disqualified by the challenged tests, including back pay and, for those who can successfully complete the new lawful selection process, job offers with retroactive seniority. Now let's dig in to try and find specific examples of why they claim the physical fitness test has disproportionally excluded female applicants , & the written examination has disproportionately excluded black applicants. https://www.justice.gov/crt/media/1373236/dl B. CMPD’s Physical Fitness Test 16: Since at least 2016, Defendant has used a PFT test to screen candidates for SBPD police officer positions. The PFT is a pass/fail component of the selection process. Only individuals who pass the PFT may continue in the selection process. 17: The PFT requires applicants to perform six activities, including a vertical jump, sit-ups, 300-meter run, push-ups, 1.5-mile run, and a pistol trigger pull. To pass the PFT, candidates must meet specific standards for each of the six PFT components. 18: Since at least 2016, female applicants have passed the PFT at a lower rate than male applicants. 19: From 2016 through August 2019, approximately 87.6 percent of male test-takers passed the PFT, while approximately 45.5 percent of female test-takers passed. During this period, the difference between the pass rates of female and male applicants on the PFT is statistically significant at greater than three units of standard deviation. 20: In or around August 2019, Defendant, while still requiring applicants to perform the same six activities on the PFT, lowered the passing standards. Since that time, female applicants have continued to pass the PFT at a lower rate than male applicants. 21. Since August 2019, approximately 83.8 percent of male test-takers passed the PFT, while approximately 47.4 percent of female test-takers passed. During this period, the difference between the pass rates of female and male applicants on the PFT is statistically significant at greater than three units of standard deviation. They go on to say that the PFT isn't job related & that there are alternative selection procedures that it could have used that would have resulted in less adverse impact against female applicants. Have you ever heard of bigger load of BS in your life ? C. SBPD’s Written Test 25. Since at least 2016, Defendant has used a written test developed by Testing for Public Safety, LLC, formerly known as the Institute for Public Safety Personnel, Inc. 26. The written test includes 120-130 multiple choice questions broken down into 7 sections: (1) Learn and Apply Knowledge; (2) Observe and Accurately Describe Events and Objects; (3) Remember Identifying Information; and (4) Remember Shapes and Spatial Relationships; (5) Complete Routine Forms; (6) Grammar; and (7) Spelling. 27. Until 2017, applicants had to score at least 82 percent to pass the written test and advance to the next step in Defendant’s selection process. 28. Since in or around 2017, the test components have remained the same but the minimum passing score was lowered to 80 percent. Since that didn't provide the results they had hoped for, let's see what they tried next. 29. Since at least 2016, African-American applicants have passed the written test at a lower rate than white applicants. Approximately 84.1 percent of white test-takers passed the written test, while approximately 62.8 percent of African-American test-takers passed. 30. Since at least 2016, the difference between the pass rates of African-American and white applicants on the written test was statistically significant at greater than three units of standard deviation. Since lowering the standards didn't provide the results they had hoped for, let's see what they tried next. 31. Since at least 2016, the written test and Defendant’s method of use of the written test has not been job related or consistent with business necessity. 32. Even if Defendant could demonstrate that its use of the written test is job related and consistent with business necessity, there are alternative selection procedures that it could have used that would have resulted in less adverse impact against African-American applicants and still served Defendant’s legitimate needs. This is what should be referred to as denial. No specific reasons as to why a significantly lower percentage of African-Americans passed the written test relative to white applicants. What's the solution the geniuses at the USDJ came up with. A. Refrain from using a written test to screen and select applicants for SBPD police officer positions where such use results in a disparate impact on African Americans, is not job related for the police officer position and consistent with business necessity, and does not otherwise meet the requirements of Section 703(k) of Title VII, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(k); B. Refrain from using a physical fitness test to screen and select applicants for SBPD police officer positions where such use results in a disparate impact on women, is not job related for the police officer position and consistent with business necessity, and does not otherwise meet the requirements of Section 703(k) of Title VII, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(k); C. Provide make whole remedial relief to all persons who have been harmed by the discrimination alleged in this Complaint; & D. Adopt other appropriate nondiscriminatory measures to correct the present effects of its discriminatory policies and practices, including the use of police officer selection procedures that comply with Title VII.

I'm not that optimistic. I'll try to avoid bringing politics into the FF area, & only say that 10 years from now, fantasy football will be the least of our worries.

As someone who always believed special teams were a big part of the game, & rewarded players for those when I started my own league in 2005, I hated when they moved kick offs up to the 35 yard line from the 30. The kick off rules implemented this year are preposterous. Some of the roughing the passer penalties are ridiculous as well. Might as well say no one can even breathe on the QB.

So it was a ménage a trois ?

"Hollywood is run by Jews; it is owned by Jews--and they should have a greater sensitivity about the issue of people who are suffering. Because...we have seen...the greaseball, we've seen the Chink, we've seen the slit-eyed dangerous Jap, we have seen the wily Filipino, we've seen everything but we never saw the kike. Because they knew perfectly well, that that is where you draw the [line]." --Marlon Brando on Larry King Live This is part of an article Ben Stein wrote years ago. He admits Jews run Hollywood, & asks.......what of it ? https://rense.com/general21/bet.htm

I interpret that to mean you're not a big fan of Mr. Richardson

Thanks. It's a perfect example of how easily Americans can be conditioned to believe what they see on what my brother-in-law refers to as "that stupid square picture box"

Was a member of the following from 2007 until late 2023. https://www.early-retirement.org Tremendous pool of knowledge who answered financial questions that you'd normally have to ask a high paid CPA. But they went full on Libtard. The last thread I posted on was one where people were railing on pharmaceuticals, including one I owned/own (Eli Lilly) regarding the high prices of insulin. I posted the following link to show that Eli Lilly had voluntarily lowered the price of insulin by 70% and shouldn't be included in the thread. https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2023/eli-lilly-lowers-insulin-prices#:~:text=Eli Lilly%2C one of the,massive financial burden for many. The link was from John focking Hopkins university, yet a day or 2 later, they deleted my account. Said I posted spam. I loathe each and every one of those responsible for calling the link spam & wish the worst for them, and any children and/or grandchildren they may have. I'm not a day trader, but I've invested in individual stocks since the mid-90s. For that reason, yahoo finance has been my homepage since 1998. Up until 7 or 8 years ago, I thoroughly enjoyed reading comments on individual stocks, & posting comments of my own. Now you have to have a focking PhD to try and identify keywords that get your posts deleted. Hats off to the owners/moderators here at the geek club. They do the right thing by letting almost everything go, & letting members police the forum themselves by offering the option to ignore users that you no longer want to hear from.

I am as well. My league rewards return yards & he has 233 on the year.

The weather channel had very little credibility before this debacle.

A good start ?

That's certainly a concern.

Classy guy. Anyone reading this board would've been arrested for doing this.

Is he a lefty, like Kenny 'the snake' Stabler ?

Hadn't considered that.

Had no idea until you mentioned it. She's probably been stealing since the day she could crawl.
