Nope. I'm not even suggesting a democrat makes it better. I just don't recall any Democratic Presidents suggesting that cops should exercise police brutality. A neutral position would be a welcome change of pace. My comment was in response to GG's false claim that Trump was the first President to not escalate conflict. He's so busy sowing chaos at home, that he barely has time to focus on the trade war he started.

I think that list has him too low. The absolute highest I could put him would be #20 right now assuming Newton and Murray were flipped. I'm more inclined to put him at 22-23. Honestly, I think it speaks to the amount of QB talent in this league more than it does about him not being good. Compared to seasons past, most of the NFL has competent QB play with only a handful of youngsters as unknowns.

I'm not sure how anyone could argue with this objectively. Going into the season he's a QB at the bottom 3rd of the league. We've all seen the potential for him to be more than that, but he has to put it together.

He's not what I would consider wealthy. If a 35 year old had $50,000 in a 401k and never contributed another cent, they would likely exceed Bernie's net worth by the time they reached his age. Given how frequently Sanders has hammered Putin, I don't really see him being a Russian ally.

There's more room between communist and democratic socialist than there is between Democrat and Republican. Bernie claims he is is a Democratic Socialist, but he's more of a Social Democrat.

Nope. We've been over that before.

If you support Trump, why do you consider yourself independent? Usually that space is populated for people disaffected with past and current leadership. I'm also firmly Independent, but on the opposite side of the scale. Do you see the Republicans as being too left for your personal preference?

Bernie, who is economically a bit to the right of me but would have represented a shift in a direction that represents most of what I believe in. Warren, who is distantly to the right of me, but has a strong record as a consumer protection advocate. They were my only options this year at the presidential level. Keeping an eye on folks for 2024.

The fact that republicans try to lump in a right leaning conservative in Biden with some sort of extreme left wing socialism is just beyond comprehension. Nearly the entire democratic party with very few exceptions is comprised of right of center neo-liberals. People that are actually leftists, can't stand them. I have no intention of voting for Biden. He's just George Bush in a blue tie. I desperately wish Biden was all the things the extreme right accuses him of being. It's 10x cooler than he actually is, and I'd vote for that guy in a heartbeat. I do however hate the police. This was a nice little bonus though: https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/multiple-boats-in-distress-sinking-at-trump-boat-parade-on-lake-travis

You mean besides pushing our own country to the brink of civil war, greenlighting the abduction of american citizens without warrant, starting a trade war, assassinating the top Iranian general and bombing Syria?

Re: John McCain: "He's a war hero because he was captured. I prefer people that weren't captured" "I know more about ISIS than the generals do, believe me" Are you sure?

You just described every war that ever took place.

You just want to ESCAPE into the politics of your choosing. If you really wanted to do away with politics in sports, the easiest way to do it is to get the anthem and military displays out of there altogether. This post coming from Rhino is a complete joke. He's patient zero for this cesspool of conspiracy theories, nationalism and factless assertions.

His A Football Life is pretty great. With those knees he had no business playing at all, let alone winning a Super Bowl. Could you imagine getting knee surgery in the 60's?

No real surprises on that list from Sal.

Int %? it should be pretty clear that Rosen is the better talent. Barkley was viewed as a bust/disappointment for years until he hid in the shadows of the league just long enough to emerge as a "veteran" and all of the one time notions of being a #1 overall pick faded into obscurity with the likes of Jevan Snead . Matt Barkley has had 2 great games of football in the NFL. One of them was for the Bills and I was a big fan of it. That's about where the Matt Barkley story sits.

And he also has 44 touchdowns over that span. Considering he was a depth player his first two seasons, put up 997 yards twice, double digit TDs 3 times, and last year put up 997 over only 12 games played. I've watched him play a lot. He's no worse than 5th best in the league.

If you think Rosen has a noodle arm, you might not know much about him. He has a pretty good arm, and as far as athletic ability goes, is worlds apart from Peterman.

What does it say? Adams is a Tier 1 elite WR.

Because far better players had far worse rookie seasons that he did. Both the Cardinals and the Fins were/are dumspter fires. The fact that the team got better under Fitzpatrick should not be evidence against Rosen. Everyone should expect that. Fitz is a veteran and a very good football player who is one of a kind in his ability to be fantastic over just a long enough period of time to convince a team that he might be the answer to their question. In all my years of watching football, I don't think I've seen a high draft pick QB put in a worse situation than Rosen. That doesn't mean he even deserves to be a backup in this league, but it is what it is. Who dumps their 10th overall pick after 1 season?

Proving to be a wiser and wiser purchase with each passing year.

Tough call, but I'm going to go with George Wilson. I'd just want him to tell me his whole improbable story of going from high school star, to 3 year college starter at Arkansas and then everything that happened that led to him hanging out on practice squads for 3 years before switching to safety and having a very good NFL career.

It sounds to me like you recognize your SIL's ability to have a family without it being a "nuclear" family then. Do I have that right? That's all that's being stated in the mission statement, despite what some folks are trying to claim. Live and let live.

That's the point. Also it was not uncommon years ago, and still is in certain circles, for people to be outcast for not having children altogether. As someone that has been in the same unmarried and childless monogamous relationship for the last 10 years, I'm routinely chastised for it. If it was solely about my feelings, we'd never get married. Is it a big deal to me? No, but it exists. I don't let people put the pressure on me to make me feel like what I consider a family is not a family. I don't care what they think. I could see how in some situations that might be harder though, especially in cultures with strong ties to family tradition. I bet you can.
