Look at this as a great opportunity. Can't wait to see you on shark tank with a toilet with attached pedals.

Only if & when the Officer Fears for his or her life.

Who kissed his boyfriend after getting drafted? Sam something? Cause another Mo is retiring and they're saying HE was the first openly gay player to play in NFL. Hmmm...

Mexico just decriminalized abortion

I like Oscar Mayer salami, but I don't like the ones that have peppercorns hidden in them. I mean you just enjoying yourself eating a nice sandwich and then suddenly you bite into pure pepper. It's gross. Picking those little flavor landmines out before I make my sandwich.

Ahh, I did not know that. This other guy actually played in the regular season.

It's either Salvador or Equador that has a huge jail to fight the gang problem - and it's pretty intense. Could use that in Mexico. Hell, USA gladly pay for it. (See Ukraine et al)

Seems like the male of the WB species has a proclivity for drunk driving and underage girls.

Yup. All I ever had was miracle whip. Didn't much care for it. So I eschewed mayonnaise all together in my 20s. Finally got the real stuff and now I can tolerate it.

Mina Kimes just signed a contract worth $1.7 million a year. According to the New York Post, the network also allowed her to sign a separate deal with Omaha Productions to push her yearly earnings over $2 million. Such a salary is usually reserved for a host or in-game broadcaster. But that is not the case for Mina Kimes. ESPN will, instead, pay her that amount to continue in her role as an NFL “analyst” and film “guru.” Kimes’ role is particularly interesting when you consider that, well, she never played NFL football. Or any football, for that matter. In fact, she is the only general NFL analyst at the network who never played. Her counterparts include Marcus Spears, Dan Orlovsky, Bart Scott, Domonique Foxworth, Robert Griffin, and Ryan Clark. And while that group hardly impressed in the NFL, they at least spent time under coaches and film directors. They know more about football than Mina Kimes. They know more about football than Field Yates, who like Kimes never played football but doesn’t carry the title of “analyst” and isn’t paid like a star host. Now, Kimes is not without value. She is a talented writer and fine on camera. Yet you have to wonder what makes her so special, in the eyes of ESPN. Why is ESPN paying her about the same salary as Paul Finebaum despite only contributing to various programs during football season? The answer is, of course, perception. Kimes is a social media darling. Users on X treat her like she’s Howard Cosell or the football Charles Barkley. Critics would have crucified ESPN had it not re-signed Kimes. Her followers would have called the network sexist and even racist. A $2 million salary is a small price to pay to avoid Maria Taylor 2.0, which Kimes would have been. Mina Kimes is a sacred cow. She is one of the media’s cool kids. She feeds into victim culture. Earlier this year, she pretended to be offended when some lowly Boston radio host used the word “Nip.” She tried to ruin his career. So, the station suspended the man. A year prior, Kimes uploaded a screenshot of a random person sending her hate mail. Every single person on TV receives hate mail. But only Kimes feels the need to share it. Kimes received the response for which she she hoped. Her colleagues and followers came to white knight her and told her how powerful she is. Mina Kimes plays the game well. The media game, that is. She understands her value to ESPN’s public relations. She is both Asian and female. She is open about her politics. And unlike Sage Steele, she is on the right side of the political aisle. In 2022, Kimes openly endorsed Democrat Karen Bass for Mayor of Los Angeles. The hell with ESPN’s ban on politics ESPN has longed for someone like Kimes: someone who checks off the boxes and exhibits Disney’s politics more eloquently than the standard employee. And to her credit, she is smarter and less incoherent than, say, Mark Jones. The network has pushed Kimes to the front of the line like it did Bomani Jones before her. And Michelle Beadle. And Maria Taylor. As a result, Kimes makes more or equal to every NFL analyst at ESPN, other than Troy Aikman. “Super happy for @minakimes,” posted Dan Orlovsky. “She’s earned it all.” Well, not really. She didn’t earn any of it. There was nothing to earn. ESPN created a role for her and paid her well above her market value for it. Yeah, I don’t get this one from a business perspective. The Maria Taylor situation kind of makes sense but what value does MK add to the business? The only part of ESPN’s business that drives revenue is live sports.. SC and highlights can be found anywhere. Opinions can be found anywhere. There’s only a handful of personalities that are going to move the needle and Mina ain’t it. She’s good at what she does but she’s not irreplaceable.

Oh this is nice. Just last month she announced that she was pregnant. I guess it's kind of blessing in disguise.

Pretty soon we won't have any Downs syndrome kids to laugh at. .

I like the part in the article that said everybody gets hate mail. They don't post it online though. Total Wanna be Victim.

Well Hell. I didn't know Best foods mayonnaise is the same as hellman's. That and 15 other factoids: https://www.mashed.com/348542/the-untold-truth-of-hellmanns-mayonnaise/

Williams died Tuesday, according to Jon Scott of Spectrum News 1 in Buffalo. Williams was injured Sept. 1 when a steel beam fell on his head while at work, a GoFundMe page said; he was paralyzed in his right arm and lower body, then suffered breathing problems in the hospital and never gained consciousness. damn, I remember him. I wonder when nfl pension kicks in.

22 years.

Yes and no. Not in the way that you're thinking. But what's been going on for decades now is that Monsanto will come up with some nifty new seed that is pesticide free and bugs don't eat it. But then, if even one seed blows over their property line and into the next field they sue the hell out of the farmer and basically bankrupt them.

Did you see where some broads making about $2 million dollars a year? I think Miko was her name or last name or whatever. I guess she guest stars already on the Manning cast.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's a series of rotating guest stars.

Just put something's natural doesn't mean you want it in your food. Casing point, the red in red velvet cake? Used to come from grinding up a certain type of beetle they had a different name for it which I'm sure you can google. But technically, it was a natural ingredient. So is Ox Spooge.

"...Brought to you by the people at Monsanto. Remember: If it's not natural, it's us. "

Look at the back of things you eat. You'll be surprised how many have GMO declarations.

Speaking of which, I was looking for those bags of square shaped individually wrapped caramels that they used to sell. Best I've been able to find is ones with cream swirl in it. Yuck.

I'm happy it's candy corn season. Though, I only get the harvest mix and just eat the brown part at the bottom. That's the very best part.
