I wouldn't pay that for a Mahomes jersey.

Imagine criticizing a man for celebrating his religious beliefs, at a religious school, in a country that was built on religious freedom.

Freeman looking down on him like he's a complete moron, is the best part. He didn't even have to talk to give him a smack down.

None of us are.

Sheesh, even I can do that!!! Though, I can't guarantee it goes straight. I've been known to hit a few perpendicular and backwards. Also had a few times where the club went further than the ball.

Try it from their perspective some time. You won't be amazed any more.

THIS is a very true statement.

The difference between Skenes and a lot of pitchers is that he wasn't really a pitcher until he was 20 years old. In high school, he was first and foremost a catcher. He only pitched occasionally, an inning or two here and there. In his Jr year of HS (2019), he pitched 3 innings during the season and 7 innings in a playoff game. That was it. His SR yr (2020... obviously COVID year), he only threw 27 innings. In Perfect Game Showcases and travel ball, he primarily caught and hit. He only pitched occasionally. When he got to Air Force, he pitched only 26 innings his freshman year and 85 his sophomore year. In an interview pre-MLB 2023 draft, he said that prior to that year, from high school up, he totaled less than 85 IP. He has no where near the wear and tear on his arm, shoulder, and body that pitchers do by this point. After the 2023 college and pro year, he said his total IP... in his LIFE, is less than 300. As a frame of reference, in college along, Strausburg threw over 240... willing to bet that in high school and travel ball, he had doubled that number. Willing to go out on another limb and say that before Strausburg threw 1 pitch at the ML level, he was around 1000 IP... more than triple what Skenes had.

Absolutely, and I'm shocked that it hasn't been used. You'd think with all the stupid names people come up with, this one would be something at the top of the list.

Ata girl!

This Yeah, no kidding... that's everyone who goes from college to the pros, it's no different for her. Makes sense right? She'll be fine.

According to many, black people have it way worse now, because we need more racism... DEI. If things were getting better, we wouldn't need that, right? If things were getting better, we wouldn't need education institutions lowering standards so that black people can meet them. Yeah, I know, the guy who penned the Prison Reform Act that allowed the prison release of black people that Biden helped put there in the first place, he's against black people. Black people, the real victims of crime, want more police presence too. Weird how that is.

Props dude. Not many here can admit to being wrong on all but one thing. Though, I might add that I might be wrong here. That could be $127M perfectly well spent. This could be money used to buy legislation that will help their individual causes.

You tell him Worms. It's ok for Democrats to do it, just not Republicans!!

No, what I'm saying is that what you're accusing Trump and Republicans of, Biden and the Democrats already did that. On top of that, you're condemning Republican's for supporting Trump while you continue to support Biden. What I'm doing, is calling you a hypocrite.

This is funny... it's funny because everything that you put here, has been what Democrats have been doing for decades and it's been proven that it doesn't work. So your solution is to throw more money at it (which is what has been going on for decades), instead of doing it the way Republican's suggest. Even more interesting is that there's decades of proof that your way doesn't work, and in fact, proof that it makes things worse. All while there's no evidence (or proof), that the way Republicans want to handle things won't work... well, other than Democrats saying it won't.

Ok, so you're going for one-sided bias, gotcha bull crap. Thanks for confirming what many expected. You're not trying to generate anything, you're trying to convince everyone that Trump is a liar and panderer and you think black people and even conservatives shouldn't vote for him.... YET, Biden is and has done, the exact same things, but you're ok with black people and democrats voting for him.

Dude, come on... it's (D)ifferent. Biden (D)idn't mean it to come out that way.

I think you avoiding the issue is childish. Let me go at this way. What is your GOAL/OBJECTIVE of this thread. I don't care what your point is. I want to know what EXACTLY, you're trying to accomplish. No hidden "gotchya's". I'm not going to suggest or put anything in your mouth. You tell me, what exactly are you hoping to accomplish here?

No, I want you to prove you're not a hypocrite, that's all. I think that's the mature thing to do. I'm interested in how you're going to cover the fact that Biden did a lot to destroy the black family by writing a bill that he knew would disproportionately affect black people and put millions of black men in prison for smoking weed.

Ok, I missed your thread on that and telling Biden supporters (and black folks), they're wrong for supporting him... like you're telling Republican voters they shouldn't support Trump here. If you can, please send me a link to that thread so that I can read what you put.

Yeah, because Biden didn't do that right? "They'll put you all back in chains!!" When Biden did it, it's (D)ifferent, right?

Ok, so your problem is with Trump pandering? Why? You're side has been pandering to black folks for 60 years? You're upset that he's running your playbook?

All that means is that there's a lot of idiots who pissed away $127M.
