It looks like all of them. This stuff shouldn't be shown to kids until they have sex ed class (if those still exist). I don't oppose allowing parents to opt out, but apparently the legislature said no.

Odd... Communist says one thing, board member says the opposite, and you believe the Communist. YET!!! You accuse Trump with being in cahoots with Communists.

With Russia's military, the whole thing should've been over before it ever hit our news cycle. Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb 24, 2022... the day we first voted to send aid, was 12 focking weeks later! That invasion should've been over 11 weeks prior to that vote. If you think otherwise, you're a fool. There was no strategic advantage for Russia, in this incursion, to allow it to last more than a week (2, tops). Once and the rest of the world gets involved, it becomes a clusterfock. So, ask yourself... why would Russia allow this war to last well more than 2 years? I'm curious to hear how many bullcrap reasons you come up with while denying the obvious answer (hint: the answer is money from the US going funneled from Ukraine, into Russia - because there's a 0.0% chance Ukraine has any hope of winning, if Russia actually tries).

The second to last one is.

Agree completely.

Oh, ok. You two may be related then.

He's just gotta sue them through DC, NY or CA, and he'll win.

Oh the irony. @Fnord alias?

...until conservatives do it. Then, "it's different".

Like everything else, it's either going to work or not, right? I'm just on the side of, I think they chose the right direction. We'll see.

Worthy is on my DND list. Pat Mahomes proved last year with Skyy Moore, that WR's don't matter. He'll keep throwing it to Kelce until another WR proves he's capable. With Moore, Brown. and Rice there, that's a lot of cooks in the kitchen. Even if you think Worthy could be Tyreek Hill Jr, remember, Hill wasn't anything special until year 3. He was definitely good in year 2, but year 3 was the big year. In a re-draft, I'll let someone else take Worthy. He'll go way too high for what I think he'll produce.

My brother was a cop for 25 years. He said he treats thugs the same way, regardless of race. When on the roads, you know people specifically by name, you know exactly who they are. Those people are treated differently because of track record. Yes, they tend to be black more often than not, but that's because of those people's actions where police are needed, not the police injecting themselves into people's private lives.

We've given them how many billions of dollars... and they can't drop $2.5M of that on aircraft? Russia is supposedly the 3rd best military in the world and the Ukraine doesn't even have one that shows up on the tally board and this war is lasting how long? Makes you wonder, doesn't it? If it doesn't, why not?

Travelling and double dribbles are almost never called anymore... never against the better players. Flopping, ticky tack fouls where a guy's finger nail brushes against the shooters forearm... AFTER he shot the ball, the shooter falling off to the side on a crappy shot and getting a foul call. So much crap about the NBA, makes it unwatchable.

That happened organically, not a handful of great players just agreeing to go somewhere to play together as mercenaries.

Tampa did that with Wirfs and it's working out great. When you spend $200M+ on your QB, you better make sure he can play. I don't know that they were on fire, but I've seen a few outlets having the Chargers OLine as rated extremely poorly. Here's a couple... https://www.playerprofiler.com/article/offensive-line-rankings-and-tiers-end-of-nfl-season-review-2024-offensive-line-outlook/ https://www.si.com/nfl/chargers/news/chargers-news-bolts-offensive-line-grades-reveal-unit-is-struggling-rks97 Yes, they could have, but judging by what transpired in the draft, they'd have to move up a LOT to get a guy that high in the 2nd. It probably would've cost them their 3rd, 4th, and 5th rounder to do that. All 3 better be studs if they leave that draft with 3 top 40 picks and 3 bottom 40 picks. I do agree they should've drafted another WR and they could've done that with a bunch of guys in the 3rd or 4th round. The one thing I can assure you on though is that Harbaugh's #1 priority in Stanford, San Fran, Michigan, and now LA, has been the offensive line.

Yup.

I see where @LaChup is coming from. There were what, 10 offensive linemen taken between #1 and #35? After the Chargers pick, there were 5 LT's taken in R1. They took a WR at 35... then next offensive lineman (who is labeled a tackle), was taken 20 picks later... and the 4 taken from that point on, aren't very promising. Nabers + longshot LT is NOT better than #1 LT + top 5 WR. PFF had Slater (Chargers 2023 LT), as the 14th best LT in the league. I've seen where some expect Alt to be the RT... I'm not so sure. If Slater was top 7, even 10, maybe. But he wasn't. I think that the Chargers give Alt a chance at LT and move Slater to RT.

That's what I was hoping for. Looks like their plan is to put the Duke kid at Center. Fine, I have no issue with that. My issue is the 2nd through 4th rounds. I'm ok with a edge rusher and DB, I just don't see where the need was for a WR. They could've drafted he Guard in R2, the Edge in R3.

Agreed. They legitimately needed 3 iOL's, a new RG, LG, and C... they only got 1. If they want to let Mauch continue on at RG, to see if improves at RG, that's fine. I think he was too bad to be relied upon, but still, giving him a 2nd year is reasonable. But they needed to replace the Center and LG... both sucked, and they replaced only 1 in the draft and they didn't replace the other as of yet. We'll see what their plan is in the next phase of free agency. No, drafting OL is not exciting, but it's promising when you need them. Like I said, they needed more than 1 and only drafted 1. It's disappointing. It's why I gave them a 'B'. They addressed needs, I just think they didn't use their assets well. I don't see why they felt a need to draft a WR4 in the 3rd round.

I do think that's possible, and likely at some point... but I think the hand off to Henry is 'Plan A' and possibly 'Plan B', and the contingency plan will be to go with Jackson. With Jackson's new deal, I think preserving him is Baltimore's main objective. I think that's why they brought Henry in. I think they call more run plays (hand offs), to limit Jackson's adlibbing to the run and at the goal line is where I think a lot of that will take place. Last year Jackson had only 1 rushing TD from inside 7 yards and 1 the year before. I think that remains the plan in place.

Yeah, no qualms with the Duke kid, but I do think they should've taken another iOL earlier than round 6. I don't think that an RB and/or WR was needed in R3&R4. Had they gone iOL with the first 2 picks, then EDGE rusher followed by a DB then either a RB or WR (preferably a RB), I'd have given them an 'A'. Then again, Jason Licht's inadequacies in R1 almost assures he picks a bust. Though, when they're not a bust, they're studs (Evans, Vea, & Wirfs).

Watching college football is like watching paint dry, so I really don't know who the players are that the Bucs drafted, but for the most part they filled areas of need with players at expected values, so I'd give them a B.

For this year coming up, I think Thomas Jr. and McConkey have a great chance to be the top 2 scoring rookies based on need and the person throwing them the ball.
