Engorgeous George

I believe you meant "guantlet".

Perhaps you meant "wordsmith".

Why does the video cut off just when it looks like he is getting back to his feet? Me, I don't walk in during the anthem. I am there before it starts or if late I would wait in the tunnel, standing, until the recitation is done before walking in. My goal would be to not cause a distraction during the anthem. Now I think we have a stupid anthem, and I think the playing of it before sporting events is equally stupid, but I conduct myself with some minimal courtesy and respect to those whose views differ from my own especially as some whose views differ from my own have made great sacrifices for the country.

Is that what you took from my post? Fascinating!

I thought it was traditional in Florida for young mothers to drive around pantsless on Christmas eve. Thats one of the things that makes Florida a destination state.

So she is guilty of cultural appropriation?

Just robbing from the rich and giving to herself, a diverse person who was seeking equitable inclusion in the class of folks who have lots of money. Maybe it was an homage to the BLM folks, the Black Lives Matter folks not the good people at the Bureau of Land Management, though they may be irresponsible with their funding too.

I seem to recall discussion back in the 1970's of whether Henry Miller's works should have been included in our high school's library. They were.

Oh, and the Chiefs have just been off this year. Not the same juggernaut as past years. Not too late to correct it but boy would they ahve benefitted from maybe picking up Hopkins in the offseason. They should have grabbed their window as Kelce is showing signs of slowing with age. He is still crafty as hell, but he has clearly lost a step, or even two. Next year will not be better for him. Big men lose their speed sooner than do smurfs or so it seems. Still, what a talent, what a career.

Packer fan here. The non-call on MVS was egregious, no question. But having followed MVS's career lets be honest about one thing, the call was thier only hope. If left untouched he never catches that ball. He is fast. He gets behind defenses, and then he drops routine catches. He would have dropped that one. interestingly, he does make circus catches from time to time, but routine balls, no way. He would ahve mistracked the ball, juggled it a few times, and then let it dribble off of his hands. Had it been triple coverage and had one of his arms been held down then he makes the catch. I miss him. He put excitement in the mundane.

Maybe she did it deliberately so she can get more money for her Squat Cobbler videos. The tonnage may be part of the kink.

Probably runs faster when chased by a behemoth. I know I would. Like when I was a kid. I never ran faster than when being chased by the cops*. *Naturally it was always over a simple misunderstanding on their part. Youthful exuberance misinterpreted.

I bet two pints of Ben and Jerry's would have made her more cooperative. Maybe a half dozen Krispy Kremes. You have to spike that blood sugar and then wait for the crash.

A quarter ton of fun.

Well not hers anyhow, dessicated and sandpapery thing that it was and is, not to mention the row of razor sharp teeth and the stench rising from that thing. It would be like trying to do a wolverine with mange right in the mouth. No thank you! Also it is like the Wuhan lab, it produces new and virulent super STD's.

Solid opportunities for teams in the wash to tank. With half the NFC at 6-7 a teams draft capital can massively improve with a tank job.

Should fire him immediately. Jin Leohnard is doing nothing down in Illinois. Bring him up.

And we have Rich Basaccia whose units have missed multiple extra points this year, multiple routine field goals, who have fumble punt receptions, and who seem unable to understand blocking rules. Most importantly we have Matt Lafleur who tossed away the script of their last several victories and returned to the script from their losing streak. instead of running between the tackles where they were experiencing success we wanted to run wide with a 250 pound back or with 5 too many end arounds. The jet sweep worked, the end arounds did not and they got Watson injured last week and contributed to injuries again. The double reverses and flea flickers were a joke, we were running into each other. The W.R. screens which worked last year with Lazzard blocking have not worked all year and he went with at least 5 of those. His screen to Dillion was a disaster with dillion on the ground. God forbid he would call more of what works, runs up the gut and passes over the middle. As for defense I was calling for a spy on DeVitto after the first series. The Packers would overwhelm the line but have no lane discipline and he would take off and gut us. At least four times they could have sacked him if they would have just reached out their arms, but they never did. We are a team of low football I.Q. from the top down. For instance, when you muff a punt and dive to the ground to recover it, taking over a second, do not try to regain your feet. during that second the entire coverage team has converged on your stationary ass and are going to blow you up. Nothing good can come of trying to make a play at that point.

I understand disappointment in then moment getting the better of a person.

My thought exactly

When they chant the catecism, when they parrot the orthodoxy in unison with no dissenting voices they are not thinking for themselves. They are parroting.

In the last few minutes of the Packer game, before the Chiefs got royally screwed on a call, the Chiefs accepted a questionable pass interference penalty, an off sides on a kick off penalty, and a clearly wrong roughing penalty. They also benefitted from a non-call of pass interference which was the very same action upon which they did get a call, what was a penalty for the Chiefs was not one for the Packers. Penalties happen. Calls are made. Calls are missed. Some calls are clearly wrong. Often the penalty action is away from the play or did not impact the play in any way. I get it though, during the final minutes they always seem amplified. I will say tnis, on the day that Franck Wycheck passed away it would have been cool to have another miracle Tight End toss

Small energy.Your sister puts very little varnish on her pronouncements. h

The marketplace of ideas is a savage and brutal land. The weak, the sensitive do not do well in that gladitorial pit. Universities once welcomed the exchange of ideas. They wanted ideas to stand scrutiny in the full light of day. They wanted some to be nourished and others to wither under the noon day sun of scrutiny. Then universities decided to indoctrinate as opposed to educate. They came up with speech codes. They chose to go beyond banning and punishing that very limited class of prohibited speech which was exhortations of immediate violence. They also tried to blur the very definitions of "immediate" and "violence". They blurred all parameters and now they are paying a long overdue price. The monster they birthed has now turned on its creator. Universities now, essentially, insist on loyalty oaths to the orthodoxy to become accredited by them. How sad.

Hoping to see the Packers move up again next week.
