  1. No. The bill as written will codify something most people are in agreement with.
  2. https://thehill.com/homenews/house/3566470-house-passes-bill-protecting-marriage-equality-with-47-gop-members-voting-yes/ The House passed a bill on Tuesday to protect marriage equality, a direct response to an opinion from Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas last month that called for reversing multiple decisions that enshrined LGBTQ rights. The legislation, titled the Respect for Marriage Act, passed in a 267-157 vote, with 47 Republicans joining all Democrats in supporting the measure. Seven Republicans did not vote. Will be interesting to see if this gets pushed through the Senate with 22% of Republicans backing the bill in the House. If that percentage holds for the Senate they'll have enough votes to get to that 60 vote threshold. A recent gallup polled showed 71% of Americans support same sex marriage. Rising national support for legal same-sex marriage reflects steady increases among most subgroups of the population, even those who have traditionally been the most resistant to gay marriage. Adults aged 65 and older, for example, became mostly supportive in 2016 -- as did Protestants in 2017 and Republicans in 2021. Americans who report that they attend church weekly remain the primary demographic holdout against gay marriage, with 40% in favor and 58% opposed.
  3. I'm assuming White at the latest will be back after the bye to play the Packers. Baltimore WR's are below average as a group so I'm not too concerned about our secondary in that game. Same goes for the Titans. Stafford and Mahomes are definitely a problem though. That's why we pay our starting quarterback 43 million a year. Outscore them.
  4. It's nice to see the armed civilian who probably saved multiple lives would be the front page of every major news outlet and would be heralded as a hero. I'm kidding.
  5. McDermott started two rookies for most of the season in 2016 for the Panthers. He seems to have a lot of faith in Jackson so it wouldn't surprise me one bit to see Elam and Jackson as our two outside CB's entering week one. His ability to quickly develop young DB's makes me doubt we pursue Haden.
  6. She's good at keeping herself in the news. Not sure how it helps the district she represents though.
  7. Calvin Ridley on injured reserved bets $1500 on a sports betting app on a league that's in partnership with gambling companies. Gets suspended a year...... NFLPA - no problem. DeShaun Watson has 24 civil lawsuits charging sexual misconduct. NFLPA- If he gets suspended for a year we will sue you in federal court. You can't tell me that Goodell and JC Tretter aren't negotiating behind the scenes to make both sides come out of this with the least egg on their face as possible.
  8. I wouldn't be too sure of that as an improved running game against light boxes in 10 or 11 personnel can make a defenses go heavier which creates mismatches and opens things up downfield.
  9. Yeah. It's wild Texas still were able to charge two guys with misdemeanors caught doing the nasty in a private residence in the 21st century. In defense of Thomas, he did stick to his originalist view of the constitution by ruling against it but did call for Texas to repeal the law in his dissent.
  10. You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
  11. His teammates never have anything bad to say about him. He's a hard worker by all reports. The drop off from Diggs/Davis at outside WR is significant. The Bucs pry don't win the Super Bowl without signing Antonio Brown. The Rams pry don't win the Super Bowl without signing OBJ. I would be 100% for that signing.
  12. Based off his concurrent opinion on Roe v. Wade, he said the Supreme Court should revisit Supreme Court decisions that ruled married couples can buy and use contraceptives, that two adults are allowed to engage in same sex intimacy, and the ruling that made same sex marriages legal. I would say the first two are pretty extreme.
  13. He's always looked like that besides the weight he lost due to Covid. When he put the weight back on he was back to his usual self.
  14. Republicans are in an odd position as the messaging since Roe v Wade was overturned was it now rightfully belongs to the states to decide. So, any federal proposal (like that one) makes them look like hypocrites.
  15. We don't have to play the Chiefs, Raiders, and Broncos twice. That helps.
  16. Does Richie know this?
  17. Not sure if it will be a surprise but if Cody Ford doesn't impress he may be cut or traded. They can save about 1.5 million by cutting him. That money may come in handy before the trade deadline to fill an unforeseen need.
  18. So, you're fine wasting your time posting on a message board the last day of your life? Me too.
  19. It's true. You can minimize it but that's why serious body builders go from a bulk phase to a cut phase.
  20. It's impossible to put on muscle without gaining some fat. My guess is after training camp he'll drop a few pounds of fat while maintaining most of the muscle he built.
  21. That's dedication. So you basically tried to guess which player would throw for or have the most TD's. Pry no waiver wire pickups or trades I'm guessing.
  22. That must've been near impossible having to calculate the stats from the box scores every week in a newspaper, putting together a schedule, waiver wire adds, trades, etc...feel bad for the commish.
  23. Only 28 teams. No NFL RedZone or Sunday Ticket. No fantasy football. No gambling from a cell phone. It's a lot different than '93.
