Orlando Buffalo

The three biggest commonalities of going to jail- male, no father figures, and "wrong" zip code. If you have all three your chances of going to jail are very high. If you are my daughter it is basically 0. We can't fix the male part, we can fix the zip code thing a little bit but the lack of father's is a hard one to tackle. I truly think you mean well but unless we are going to combat the largest indicators we are tilting at windmills.

What I find most interesting is that baseball of all the sports seems the most linked to old conservative fans, NBA doing it makes much more sense than MLB.

As much as I hate to try and stem the flow of rich people coming to Orlando but we can't build fast enough and my friends who rent can't keep up with increasing cost.

I can understand how you missed it but it was MSNBC during their afternoon shift, I don't know name of host.

I am curious about what the NFL plans to do with the people who are more at risk from the vaccines than from the virus. I am related to someone who due to blood clotting issues is not able to take many vaccines and limited kinds of medications. Literally taking the vaccine would be much more likely to cause damage then even getting sick with COVID.

Hurt my feeling? I am a teacher and I am married to a teacher- that makes you wrong. You pontificated that I was too dumb to understand a teachers life. So in other words my facts prove your opinion wrong. When you know your opinion is not based in fact then you are lying.

Actually I have done multiple times but since it does not even slow you down I am not gonna bother again. My favorite was when you explained to me how I am too stupid to understand what it is like to be a teacher last August.

The best part is you have no evidence that Jim is a racist but I have already proven you to be a liar on at least two separate occasions, so by your logic you are always a liar. Your standards for all others is so much higher than your standard for yourself.

The NFL should allow their players to make their own choice on COVID unless they want to make them get the flu vaccine also. The players are mainly the types who get extremely minor versions of the illness. As for the crowd, I don't know how they can demand to be shown health records of people to be allowed into a public place. They can force them to sign a waiver in order to buy tickets but they can not legally force them to turn over health info.

Didn't project veritas get sued for showing this last summer?

Yes, it needs to go through the process but I am hoping this does not qualify for immunity. I am willing to change my mind if new info comes out but it seems straight forward.

I obviously disagree with the rioting but this cop must be held liable with jail time based on the info I have seen. It might be manslaughter but her actions are why that guy is dead and her mistake is unacceptable, as a law enforcement you can't make a mistake of which weapon you are pulling.

You are absolutely correct that Stand your Ground should never been allowed. The only reason it was allowed is Zimmermans father is a judge and he called in a favor. I will disagree about the homicide because where they brawled Trayvon was definitely not walking straight home, he hid and attacked Zimmerman. It can still be self defense as long as you don't provoke the other person and I believe Zimmerman was just trying to follow him not fight him.

This is why Pat's* fans are considered low class. You are praising a known cheater and cheap shot artist because it was "fun" watching him try to injure someone. Also I would not want someone like him on my team, trying to injure other players is not something a decent person praises.

George Zimmerman was not a good guy but neither was Trayvon. The issue with Zimmerman was how many times the news-especially the Orlando Sentinel-lied about what happened. They had access to information and completely pretended that the info did not exist. They knew that Zimmerman was beaten that night and was in the hospital but they only admitted it literally months after the initial incorrect report. I do not have to "love" or even like someone to recognize that getting beyond a reasonable doubt is a high bar.

I think most of the media is hoping for an acquittal- the stories write themselves and both sides get to pretend their side is morally correct. If Chauvin is found guilty he will die in prison and the only articles written will be his epitaph.

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/punter-marquette-king-out-of-nfl-since-2018-wonders-why-he-has-been-shunned-by-league-154407519.html They discuss his issues while a Raider but don't say the obvious, on a good team he is the least important player therefore don't make any noise. This dude thinks a punter is not the easiest dude on a good team to replace.

I want it on the road either in KC or NE. I think a nice win on the road will set us up nicely for the year. I hope we get Jax in week three because I still think week 1 they might surprise someone because there is not game tape.

I just looked at spotrac and his salary is 6 million this year and I feel we can do more with 6 million elsewhere. I would rather see what Knox and Hollister can do than send 6 million right now him.

I think unless we are trading for a RB in the first round we have our three RB for the year already on team. I have no idea what they think of Najee or Etienne but Beane does not drop someone unless the better player is already on roster and right now he is top 3. He is a rookie contract guy who has gained 1500 yards in two years, definitely a good value for now.

Actually I like arguing as long as the other party is being honest- it went a different direction but still on a set of rails, just not the ones I expected initially. I agree MLB thinks it will bring them some young fans but I bet it loses them more, at least initially, and I doubt people who are impressed by it stick around for long.

This thread has gone completely a different direction then I had hoped, and I wanted to discuss it much more along the MLB angle. I have read that the ratings of the national games are down but that is a small sample size, can anyone speak to ratings otherwise? Basically will MLB pick up some new fans by doing this or just tick off the conservative fans and lose out due to it?

I don't care who the rules are passed by or who it effects politically, I care that the vote is made secure and people have equal access across the state, if this was being passed in June of 2024 I would say it is wrong but the rules are now open and plain. My neighbor last year recieved a ballot for his mother from Pennsylvania who died around 2012 therefore making someone verify they want it by mail is important, I don't trust drop boxes that are not monitored, and as for long lines I understand that they are a function of democrat areas because most people don't have three hours to spend in line but those without jobs certainly do, especially if you are feeding them the whole time. Lastly in order to enroll your kids in an Orange County school you must have a valid ID, and there are no exceptions, if they can get an ID for that then the voting ID should not be a problem.

You literally complained that the long lines are only in democrat areas as well as other problems and then you blame the state for making a way to change that. In FL if we have major voting issues we know it is gonna be the three idiot counties in southeast FL, the only heavily democratic counties. The law is written similar to FL which will not allow them to remove someone mid election but will hopefully allow them to keep from having someone like Brenda Snipes. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sun-sentinel.com/local/broward/fl-ne-brenda-snipes-ends-court-case-20190124-story.html%3foutputType=amp I am happy though you got through a whole post without mentioning Trump.

You really are a racist if you think black people are too dumb or incompetent to get an ID. As I stated MULTIPLE times to you the 2020 election has been decided but you still continue lying about me. There is nothing in the bill that allows someone to throw out a legally cast ballot, that is a lie. Lastly why did they wait till after the election? Do you realize how many emergency provisions were added in during 2020 to help with the vote? There was gonna be changes. I though do hope you boycott us in FL because we require similar things to vote, though our minorities are capable of figuring it out
