POLITICAL THREAD

I'm not focused just on serious injuries. Maybe you were and I misunderstood.
I'm speaking more about the number of injuries that are costing significant time and among marquee players. Seems to me that tons more QBs (and other starting positions) are missing a lot of games than they were a decade ago or 2 ago. I just don't remember many seasons with so many 2nd and 3rd string QBs starting games.
There also has to be a team or a bunch of teams that haven't had their starting OL for 2/3 of the season this season so far.
^^^ I corrected it to say where I'm at on things.
I think convicted violent offenders should face a firing squad.
He was a political nutjob, 100%.
I don't know what he was like as a person or father. No idea what he was like as a director even. But he WAS a deranged lunatic over a lot of things that didn't seem related to him and his work (until recently). I can't dismiss it as a possibility that he was like that with his children or his first wife.
I also can't imagine anyone wanting to stab their parents to death, but today that appears to be a uniquely "upper-crust" Hollywood thing, (though it isn't).
Admittedly an odd theory but I wonder if the QB are so used to not getting hit (relatively speaking) they don’t know how to protect themselves anymore.
That and like the Clown mentioned, I think the turf is part of it too. Wasn’t Burrows injury called “turf toe”?
I've noticed that the turf type they are using used to correlate to more non-contact high-ankle sprains when it first came on the scene because players tended to slide on it as the rubber particulate would roll under their feet.
i wonder if, over time, they've adjusted their shoes and ankle wrapping/taping (or the turf itself somehow) so that the impact is now higher up in the knee instead. Maybe more people are getting their feet anchored in the turf because of its "grip" and its leading to more knee and leg injuries of late. It sure hasn't helped with concussions.
(I've also seen a ton of linemen get rolled up on because their feet are anchored or gripping the turf and they can't roll with it like they might have on grass.)
Bessent expects taxpayers will see 'very large' tax refunds early next year
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said American households could receive substantial $1,000-$2,000 tax refunds in early 2026 under OBBBA tax law changes.www.foxbusiness.com
To the ignorant, it might seem like this only benefits those who get returns, but it is going to lead to more disposable income which will help spur the economy and keep businesses open through what is hopefully the end of Bidens recession.
Im convinced a lot of this stems from youth sports, and how much more these kids are playing today. It used to be thay youd play your sport for the season and be done. Maybe you'd go to a camp. If you were really talented you might do more. But now, to be good at a sport, its year round (maybe not football as much). Your not only playing on your schools team, but you're in other leagues, youre in multiple camps. You never have a break. And I think that takes a toll on the lower body.
The first 3 stories I saw about the attack didn't mention Hanukkah or Jewish people. I wish I had saved or screenshot them now. I didn't even realize. Must've been liberal sources and I didn't click further into the headline
all i keep seeing is how we should be appreciative of a muslim who stopped the other muslim after he killed some jews, proving that muslims are not an issue, really; its our perception that is skewed.
That...and I do wonder if the softer nature of practices don't help either. And the NFL which is having a ton of injuries keeps making the seasons longer. If anything they should decrease the amount of games.
In my day we played different sports year round based on what was in season.
This guy can’t help himself ever. His team needs to take his phone away. Jesus.
Just a comically vile person. I suppose those of you worrying about people making this domestic matter political will quickly condemn the prez’s statement here?

I think Trump's statement on Reiner is a real statement. Usually when someone dies that you hate...you'll still hear people say "He was a great man...God bless him"
Trump's like hell no I hated that guy. Screw him lol.
Besides...let's not act like the left is gonna be posting nice things about Trump once he dies. So I'm not gonna get my panties in a wad too much about what he said about Reiner.

Ehh.. I kind of thought the same thing when I heard the news. RR is a **** bag.
And when the left decided it was perfectly normal to mock and make fun of Charlie Kirk, then this was fair play.
Maybe could have just not said anything? Maybe? Seems like making it about himself is uh pretty weird though, right?
I think the difference there is when you switch sports, you then use your muscles differently. Not only does it mean you're not doing the same basketball jumping movements 12-months on the year.. but you're doing different movements which will strengthen the parts that DON'T get used in another sport.
My post pertains more to baseball, but I wonder if there are comparables in other sports. I recently read an article by a doc who does a lot of the surgeries on pitchers in MLB. He blames a lot of it on the maximum effort on each pitch (spin on breaking balls for instance). The joints are not made to withstand it. Some of the work he does now is to artificially strengthen the joint itself not just the muscle around the joint. Constant use at maximum effort?
What kind of username is this? Should we be worried about being on your hitlist? Do you have a manifesto?
Shew... I'm in a bad mood today, after seeing the Packers season get a wooden stake through it's heart yesterday.
In fact, I'm in SUCH a bad mood, that I'm mulling over removing my blocks/ignores on here for the afternoon, because I'd like to slap some ****ing dimwits around (figuratively speaking of course) for a while to blow off steam. SOMEONE needs to pay.

Yeah but we aren’t the left. You can’t bemoan what leftists did regarding Kirk and then celebrate a guy getting his throat slit by his son and have the moral high ground
Gotcha. So your manifesto is still a work in progress.happy to clear this up for you.

re: Rob Reiner, man that's a tough situation, when you have a kid that goes that way (horrible drug/mental problems) it's got to be one of the most helpless and desperate feelings, as a parent that one could imagine.
My wife was friends with a couple here in Gtown, and they went through all of that with their oldest son for YEARS. And sure enough, one day he showed up at their house, walked in and shot them both. The father died (he acted quickly though and jumped in front of his wife, right before the first shot and even though the son got two more off, she was only wounded. He saved his wife's life) This was like around 2005 IIRC. Folks in this area might remember the case.
I wouldn't wish that situation (from the parents perspective) on my worst enemy. The wife told me once, years later, that the worst part of it was that you could never get away from it. (talking about before the shooting) She said the worry, heartbreak, and anxiety just crashes in on you, the very second you wake up in the morning, and you carry it every second of every day. Hearing her talk about it broke my heart.

I can see nothing false in his statement.
Can you?
The only question is whether it is impolite in respect of the dead.
Imagine being polite to the memory of a guy who called you a Nazi for years and whose crazy rhetoric inspired attempts on your life.
For those of you who like facts, here is what Rob Reiner said about Trump. This kind of insanity got Charlie Kirk killed. Do not for one second allow yourself to believe that calling out the insanity of people like Rob Reiner, even in death, is impermissible.
“The idea that less than 80 years after we defeat fascism that it’s staring us in the face again, he couldn’t believe it. Where did the country that he loved so much go? I just hope that we get rid of Trump so that we preserve our democracy. All those people in the Second World War worked hard to defeat fascism, so the idea that we would slip into fascism less than 80 years later is unfathomable.”

Who knew they would start crying about Reiner getting killed but openly laughed and mocked a young man losing his life trying to make the world a better place for all. Who knew?
Trump is not one to let bygones be bygones.
He will hold a grudge unless and until you come to him first. And he will not feign civility. WYSIWYG; anything else would've been insincere.
