It’s the one major mistake made by the founders. Giving the chief executive this kind of power is more the power’s of a king, not the head of one of three co-equal branches of government.

Caldwell in a heartbeat

I have to admit, I had tears in my eyes Saturday night!

Thanks everyone

Can’t find anything about Roberts. Was he hurt yesterday, or did they sit him and have Hyde back on punts because of the muff in the first half?

Quick vaccine update. I got it at 7:50 this morning, nothing all day except a little soreness at the injection site like any other shot. At 3:30 I got a text from the CDC to do my first “v-safe check in”. Had to answer some questions about any symptoms I might be having, whether it was arresting my activities, and such. While I had nothing to report, I’m glad the CDC is compiling all this information! Check in with them again tomorrow!

The second shot is 21 days after the first one, so I'm scheduled for January 10th. I'll update in the next day or so about any reactions.

I'm wondering if Josh is going to do a Brady, and take less money to be sure the Bills can sign guys to put around him. If I were Terry and Beane, I might sit down with Josh and his agent, and offer something like a 15 year contract at 20 million per, with a guaranteed personal services contract with he team for 20 years after that at a few million a year.

Just got my vaccine 20 minutes ago. I work in health care with direct patient contact, I am 65, and I have asthma so I qualified as one of the ones to get it. The process was very straightforward. You sign up for a CDC site to let them know about any adverse effects you might get, and the injection itself was easy; hardly felt the needle at all. They then had me wait around for 15 minutes in case I developed any severe allergic reaction, which I did not. They also sign you up for your second injection while on site and you get a reminder from the CDC site to be sure you get the second shot. When you get your chance to get the vaccine, do so. Let's beat this damn thing!

Getting my first vaccine in an hour. I'll post about the experience as I go forward.

He did not hit him, he wrapped him up with both arms and tackled him. And you don't wait 5 minutes then throw a flag

My dad was a ref. He taught me that reffing is a lot harder than you think. But even he would say this crew is awful if he was alive to watch this

That is the most ridiculous call I’ve ever seen and I’ve watched football for 40 years.

Ok boys, let’s matriculate the ball down the field!

Very educational.

Like a baby

I would prefer we get back to the original intent of the founders - have Congress convene a few weeks a year, decide what they need to decide, then go home to their normal work. Or at the very least term limits. The long time politicians in DC are way more interested in party politics and power than getting anything accomplished for their constituents.

They do verify. You refuse to understand that.

The defund the police stuff was stupid and cost Democrats seats in state governments and in DC.

Completely ridiculous

To the contrary I am sure the protests contributed, although I’d like to see here and after data in this cities to confirms. The issue I have with our SoCal friend is that he insists on trying to defend Trump by doing the “well, what about X or Y” defense. It does not matter what others did, it matters what he did . And encouraging rallies without masks especially in the White House was ridiculous

I suggest you quit thinking in either/or ways. Trump’s rallies caused outbreaks where he had rallies - Tulsa or the White House for examples. California is likely due to Covid fatigue and improper in home meetings without masks. Your desire to defend Trump to the death blinds you to reality.

Well, let's deal with the Seinfeld issue first. The Maestro episode was great, but the Master of Your Domain episode ranks first for me. Kramer slapping the cash on the table and screaming " I'm out!" was one of the great moments of TV. In social settings call me what you want. Call me Dr., call me Mr., you can call me Ray, you can call me Jay, you can call me RJ.... God knows I've been called a lot of things, and I don't get bent out of shape if you don't use the Dr. title. I don't think Jill Biden would either; at least her public persona strikes me that way. The only time I get upset by what I'm called is if a youngster tries to call me by my first name; I hate that. I expect young people to show me more respect than that. In the workplace whether seeing patients or teaching, then it should be used. And I usually call patients by their first name unless I'm meeting them for the first time, or if they ask to be referred to otherwise,

I have a Ph.D. The doctoral degree is the highest academic degree that can be offered by a university. Jill Biden should be proud of that, and to refer to her as Dr. Biden is appropriate. I generally don't get caught up in it myself. Because I do clinical things it's entirely appropriate for patients to refer to me as Dr., and at the universities where I teach it I am referred to as Dr., which again is expected and appropriate. But if I'm talking to my kid's friends and they call me Mr., no big deal. To me the guy that wrote the editorial seemed kind of envious, and of course the "kiddo" reference was completely ridiculous and demeaning.

Roosevelt’s nothing to fear quote was in his inauguration speech in 1933 and referred to the Depression. As you know Pearl Harbor was 1941. This is the problem one runs into when you try to absolve this President by talking about supposed failures of others. It doesn't matter what other presidents did for other situations. Trump gets evaluated on his own actions. And he deliberately lied about and refused to accept any responsibility. And thus rightfully lost re-election. Which of course for which he also lies about and refuses to accept responsibility. How again can this conduct be defended?
