Yup. Now lets see how their pass protection and blocking on sweeps will be.

Sounds like a James Bond villain.

Back in the Dark Ages of the Kelly-Mack era, Bob's voice over the radio made the games more bearable- sometimes I would turn the TV right off and just listen to Bob's play by play. The only constant in life is change, but sometimes it is unwelcome, even if inevitable.

We should brace ourselves': Experts warn Bannon's indictment will inflame Trump's dejected base Trump adviser Steve Bannon's indictment on Friday was necessary to preserve the rule of law, according to former FBI special agent Clint Watts. However, the downside is that Bannon will undoubtedly use the indictment to fire up former president Donald Trump's supporters, according to Watts, an MSNBC national security analyst. "It had to be pushed to this level, and I'm thankful that it (was)," Watts told the network's Deadline: White House program on Friday afternoon. "What I would say, though, is while it seems dumb legally, in terms of politics, for Steve Bannon's orbit and the information environment, this is what they were hoping for in some ways, which is now they have a new war they can fight. It's always looking to poke a fight or provoke a fight and develop a new war in the social media space and the information space to rally a base that does not have much to cheer about." Watts noted with former president Donald Trump banned from major social media platforms, the conversation around the country is "just not what it was one or two years ago." "I don't care what you think the electoral outcome was, the enthusiasm has been dying," Watts said. "So this gives them one more thing, and this is Steve Bannon's war, and he's always said 'the war on the administrative state,' and he's trying to provoke that war, and I'm sure we're going to see a continuation of this, and it won't go quietly." Princeton University professor Eddie Glaude, an MSNBC contributor, agreed that Bannon will be "imagined as a political martyr and that will then inflame these folks."

The "herd immunity theory" has yet to be proven in practice. I am really alarmed at the unvaxxed patient who has caused 25 infections and one death. There is a case to be made for charging the carrier with willful negligence causing death.

If the substitute players play their butts off and dominate the Larks, that would send a helluva intimidating message to the rest of the league. I'm rooting for that.

Holland today reported the highest total of new COVID cases since the pandemic began- 15,000. Sweeping new restrictions have been brought in.

Boo boo- wrong thread. Literacy has drawbacks.

Nope. The benefits greatly outweigh the risks.

Assuming that the Bombers bring the Cup back to Winnipeg again, it would be a travesty if they do not have Bob as an integral part of the ceremonies.

I am ambivalent about facing the 'Cats- they are probably the best team in the East, but any games we lose from here on in will be because we gave the game away, not because we were beaten by better squad.

Anyone else recall the Wolseley elm?

Kyle Rittenhouse judge is 'putting his thumb on the scale in every way possible': MSNBC analyst The judge presiding over Kyle Rittenhouse's murder trial is a "racist' who's "putting his thumb on the scale in every way possible" in favor of the defendant, according to MSNBC legal analyst Elie Mystal. Mystal, an attorney who serves as the Nation magazine's justice correspondent, said Kenosha County Circuit Court Judge Bruce Schroeder has "a history of disregarding civil rights information and rulings." "If you look at his specific history in this case, all of his pretrial motions tended to favor Kyle Rittenhouse, even leading up to this trial, and then certainly his behavior in the trial as the presiding officer of the trial, has just been grotesque in terms of his combativeness with the prosecution, his willingness to let the defense slide on many issues, his American flag tissue box, his cell phone ringtone that is actually the same song that is played at the beginning of Trump rallies," Mystal said. "It's never just one thing," he added. "It's not just one issue or one decision. I'm not saying one plus one equals two. I'm saying one plus one plus one plus one plus one equals five, and while you can try to defend any individual decision, when you look at the totality of his actions, what you have is a racist, biased judge who is putting his thumb on the scale in every way he can for the defense and for Rittenhouse in this case." Host Jason Johnson responded by noting that if a judge's ringtone played a "Black Lives Matter anthem," people would likely take issue, but Schroeder is "getting away with it."

This is where Benedict Cumberbach suffered nicotine poisoning three times while filming. He was smoking rollies and smoked continuously while in front of the cameras,.

Most of us in Canada have no idea how integrated gun culture is into American society. A few years ago, the wife and I were returning from Ontario via the south of the Great Lakes route. We were having breakfast when a local came in after pulling up to the restaurant in a truck with the mandatory gunrack with rifles. He sat at the table next to us and we struck up a conversation. His knowledge of Canada will stunningly bare- he even asked if we had churches. I tried to shrug it off by saying that we were much like Americans but with free healthcare instead of guns. He paused a moment and then stated that he would rather have his gins. A friend and his wife were snowbirding near Yuma in a gated community that was largely park models. They stopped going a few years ago because many of the Americans began to start carrying sidearms while walking to the convenience store in the compound. This while wearing shorts, T-shirts and flipflops. He said that what scared them was that the more guns that appeared, the less people interacted with each other and stayed in their homes.

I understand your frustration but if having these restrictions on me saves even a few lives, I will put up with it. The anti-vaxxers are being irresponsible about their obligations as a member of society, so that leaves it up to the rest of us to be adults and lead by example.

If only you used that power for good....

It makes sense to me that starting the regulars and letting them play the first half to keep the rust off, then subbing liberally would be a good plan. Letting the first stringers play the whole next game, or most of it would get them in the proper mindset for the playoffs.

Evangelical preachers .have said that dying for their faith ensures express admission to Heaven. No mention of 72 virgins, though.

This Texas town's first Black principal was fired over CRT — which the district admits was never taught The first Black principal of Colleyville Heritage High School in Grapevine, Texas, has lost his job after a months-long battle with the school board, which accused him of teaching and promoting critical race theory (CRT) in his school. Just a month after Dr. James Whitfield wrote a letter decrying the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor, saying systemic racism was "alive and well" and that "education is the key to stomping out ignorance, hate, and systemic racism," Stetson Clark, a former school board candidate at Grapevine-Colleyville High School, called for the principal's firing. "He is encouraging the disruption and destruction of our district," Clark said, July 26, 2020, according to the Texas Tribune. Whitfield received a disciplinary letter from the district a few weeks later and was placed on administrative leave soon after that. In late July, the board then recommended a proposal not to renew Whitfield's contract for the 2022-2023 school year. In addition to Whitfield's email condemning the deaths of Black folk, the mostly white Texas community, had issues with the fact that Whitfield has a white wife and his participation on a district-approved panel about diverse differences. And even though the school district acknowledges that CRT was never taught in the school, these Karens and Brandons have elected to offer the principal a settlement in lieu of keeping him in his job. Monday, the school board voted unanimously to fire him. A joint statement from Whitfield and the school board gave the following rationale: "Both the District and Dr. Whitfield each strongly believe they are in the right. However, each also agrees that the division in the community about this matter has impacted the education of the District's students… The District and Dr. Whifield have mutually agreed to resolve their disputes."

Republican Paul Gosar tweets anime-themed video of him killing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., the far-right dentist known for his ties to multiple white nationalist groups, on Sunday released a video of photoshopped clips of an anime show depicting him killing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. The tweeted video – which he captioned, "Any anime fans out there?" – opens with Gosar's name under Japanese text that reads "attack of immigrants," an apparent reference to the anime show "Attack on the Titan" from which the Republican pulled various clips. The video then goes on to show footage of immigrants at the southern border, overlaying the footage with anime-style special effects and crosscutting with interstitials that read "drugs, crime, poverty, money, gangs, violence" and "trafficking." About midway into the video, "Attack on the Titan main character Eren Yaeger is shown in a mashup of clips with Gosar's face photoshopped onto the cartoon character. Swords in both hands, the fictionalized Gosar scales a European-esque urban landscape alongside cartoon versions of Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and Lauren Bobert, R-Colo., until slaying what appears to be a titan with Ocasio-Cortez's face photoshopped onto it. Toward the end, the cartoon Gosar is shown leaping into the air with his blades unsheathed moments before striking the photoshopped head of President Joe Biden.

Many of the Q-Anoners who were gathered in Dallas at Deely Plaza awaiting JFK jr to appear and lead theme to the promised land, are still there, refusing to leave. And, in related news, medical doctors have gathered at an equestrian event in the US to promote Ivermectin. Madness, total madness.

There is a Jewish aphorism: be careful what you wish for, because you might get it.
