What exactly is he supposed to do? I don't know, maybe put on risk and trial his very livelihood and future as a professional athlete for a cause he believes in. We call that conviction where I'm from. How about this then haters, put up your job or business. Your future source of income on the line for something you believe in then? Or are you content to bitch out behind a keyboard and throw stones.
Are you reading the same thread I am? Not seeing a lotta hate in here, me. I see a range of concern about Eagles potentially not playing, and the effects thereof on both himself and the team, from "meh" to "oh, nooooo" on both issues.
EDIT: by the way, is your last sentence a question, or no?

That guy hasn't sniffed the lineup there, and he apparently isn't going to sniff it again (hence the transfer). Are we sure we want that guy? Kinda depends on how WR is going next year.
Well, it seems like we want some body at WR, and while he hasn't shown much in Tuscaloosa, he was apparently the top-rated WR in Texas out of HS in a group that included Reagor and CeeDee Lamb, so he wasn't a complete stiff. If Eagles flies, this guy might be worth a look...

thanks.

The OL gots some talent, looks as if.
Between Beck, Meh, and Warehime last year, it's a goddam miracle Hand was able to bring the OL as far along as he did. I believe they're gonna be a whole hell of a lot better this year, and I believe that Yurcich will work much better with Hand and they'll build an offense that will be far less predictable.

Since TH is eying another transfer wr, maybe he's not.
Kinda figured that's why the 'Bama grad xfer popped up, plus hadn't seen word or image one about Eagles in any of the tweeting.

Was just curious what nec fasc? I could tell thru plenty of your other posts that your wife is cool af.
I'da thought necrotizing fasciitis - Miz Long came home from a stint in Afghanistan a few years back, and had a chest wound start that shit. Was a damnned close call, and in the category of things that cannot be unseen, bare rib bones with the surface scraped bare is pretty fucking high on my list.

Besides the absurdity of the 300-500-700 mile distance, you gotta wonder about the effectiveness, too - as several have noted. Never seen an "OK Eight-month-old Toobie Garbanzeaux was found in Breaux Bridge, stand down". I swear Epstein and Podesta were part of the international ring responsible for 200,000 missing children per year, as seen on milk cartons in HEB (when it's open), so only having three amber alerts a week must mean that's all done - well, that and the fact that the milk cartons don't seem to have a whole lot of missing kids any more.
But, yeah, I've not seen any reference to child recoveries due to amber alerts.
On the other issue, the unstoppable Presidential alert - the protestors and lootors likely have their phones with them, and I'd bet the cops, troopers, etc. have all the numbers in their local gatherings- it might be useful to see what happens if they hit 'em all with an alert simultaneously - maybe with instructions to lie face-down and join in a national prayer moment...

For the third time in the last five days, I was awakened at 0600 by another fucking Amber Alert blasting at top volume from my bedside table. This one was as bad as the others: name, brief description, age, location... nothing that would give you the remotest possibility of actually identifying the child... I mean, there must be at least a half dozen 9 month-old, black, females between here and uhhh let's see, oh, right, Port Arthur, which is only about 700 miles away. The other two were Mesquite and I forgot the third one, but about the same distance as Mesquite... 500 miles.
So, I have turned this "feature" off, but it seems like it gets turned back on every other phone update, sorta like Win 10 fucking up settings on the reg.
This time, turning Amber off yet again (in the Message settings) I noticed an Emergency Message setting I hadn't noticed before: Presidential alerts. Interestingly, Presidential alerts, unlike all the others listed, has no on/off slider, but instead has a message for you: "Presidential alerts are mandatory and cannot be turned off".
WTF?
Miz Long says the third one was Irving... prolly right.

OD's are almost exclusively due to illegality. Legalizing such drugs won't stop OD's completely, but absolutely damn sure will cut occurrences way way way down. That's not to say there won't be dumbfucks ruining their lives with whatever they like to misuse, because there absolutely will be such people, just like the alkies and the 3-pack-a-day puffers.
Disclaimer: I'm one of the fortunate ones with a bad reaction to pretty much every opiate I've ever encountered: legal, illegal makes no nevermind... one low-dose hydro-oxy-whatever and I'll be puking my guts out for the next eight hours. Welcome to my share, however great or small it may be.

What about Honky? Not sure how that one offends or came about.
Most believable version I've heard is that it came from early 1900s (prolly post WWI) Chicago and points east, when lots of Eastern European immigrants came in. The general (pejorative) term applied was either Polack (Poles, obviously) or Hunky (Hungarians, etc.), depending on how unpronounceable their names and original countries were. Czechoslovakians (Bohemians) were Bohunks.

I do think that tide is definitely turning. They've exposed themselves too much. That said, there are still plenty of sad sacks in this country who think every drop of spit from a cop's mouth is a golden nugget of truth.
Those people are bigger problems than the cops themselves.
They are the oxygen that allows all the lying to thrive.
These people have been propagandized nonstop their entire lives - radio, tv, newspaper, movie, magazine, book... and virtually every teacher they've ever had. It's not accidental, and it's not easy to undo.

National clearance rate for murder is 46% which honestly in my mind is really not bad. I cannot imagine murders are easy to solve.
Daughter had a boyfriend who was APD Homicide cop. He said about nine out of ten times, the murderer was sitting at the table with the rest of the family, bawling like a baby over having killed his favorite nephew, wife, or whatever. No investigating needed, just processing. The other ten percent of the time... about half of those fell under the "bad guy, needed killing" and just got filed and might be pulled out later if they had the guy on something else and wanted more. The other half were either non-family business or love triangle stuff and mostly only got handled if they could get a confession, even if they were damn sure who done it, because open-shut admissible proof isn't all that easy to find. He told me the worst part of his job was getting called out to damn near every fucking fatal car wreck and deaths in fires, just to see if there was anything suspicious.

Honestly I think he was referencing the "10 minutes" when it was 8 mins 46 seconds I believe. Best guess I have.
Did the link not work? It goes to a picture which shows the scene from the other side. It shows three cops kneeling on Floyd and one standing around. Yes, I've noticed that fucking near errbody has seen only Chauvin kneeling on the neck, while his BIL and two others are standing around, watching. I just grabbed the first version I could find, after seeing it originally the day or next after it happened, and copying the URL gave one of the most god-awful lengthy shitpiles I've ever come across... here it is, again:
I was just giving the dipshit who was blathering about 75% "bad cops" some grief, good-naturedly, I thought. He was responding to my post about socio-/psycho-paths being roughly 6% of the entire population (say 5% to 10% generally), and theorizing that since such people tend to wind up either at upper levels of whatever profession or in jail, that the "bad cops" are in that range, with the rest (maybe 80%, allowing for over-representation of psychos at the top) being basically "followers" who go along with what their Fearless Leaders tell them to do. If that leadership is infested by socio-/psycho-paths, most of that PD goes along with it. I think that situation is fixable, but not easily - good leadership likely would result in better policing, but there are serious changes needed to the whole Policing Paradigm.

Scipio Tex: Running Back Production Under Tom Herman
While I think we probably all - or at least some of us - appreciate some - if not all - of your posts, it's slightly on the dumber-than-shit side to post someone else's story in a thread about Mike Yurcich, when the story is about #MensaTom, with not a single mention of Yurcich (maybe I missed it in the wall of text going back three years?) ... and there's an actual thread about #MensaTom not more than a few clicks away.

For non lethal crowd control, why not skunk spray? Smells like shit and leaves a lasting impression.
This... this is a damned fine idea. Those of us dwelling in rural (in my case, remote) areas and owning a dog or four will be on board, 100%.

Fuck total yardage as a metric. The only thing we need to make happen is to make the ratio of points scored to points allowed greater than one, EVERY. SINGLE. GAME. I don't care, nor should you, what the numbers are, just their ratio.
(POINTS SCORED) / (POINTS ALLOWED) > 1
EVERY FUCKING GAME
All else takes care of itself.
