Question 1: I don't mosy into it. But I have. Question 2: I haven't said anything about closing PPP down. The OP might be thinking of me when he types the OP, but it's only because he doesn't like how often I prove him wrong and that he's about to lose a bet he stupidly made. Keep the forum open and whatever threads exist. It's not that the thread exists, it's that many at PPP believe it warrants the credibility to seriously discuss it.

"Not interested?" "not my cup of tea?" Conspiracy theories like Q aren't flavors of ice cream you pick and choose between. Maybe this is part of the problem with PPP. It's like you guys believe it's a necessity to find a ridiculous conspiracy theory to talk about just to see who can find that perfect balance between crazy and believable.

That it's been given enough legitimacy to warrant 149 pages worth of actual "serious" discussion about it is the problem. I don't mosy into that thread myself, but I have seen who started it and who's been pedaling it as worthy of serious discussion. If PPP is indeed "under fire," maybe the OP needs to look in the mirror to find out who's to blame.

Wow. They suck. We better crush them.

You need to know someone who has an active college email address who isn't themselves an avid football fan because multiple people can't be using it at once, unlike Netflix or Amazon Prime or such... Can you use that after you're already enrolled?

You understand there would be an NBA without NBA players? NBA players are probably the most uniquely gifted athletes in the world, which is why there's only 450 of them. Get enough of those players in a small league to protest or walk out and what are the owners going to do? If they're invested long term in their product, they need to put the best product on the court, which means they need to put the best players on the court, which means they need to keep those players relatively content. The other sports leagues operate on the same principle, but player leverage is less because there are more of them and so you have a watering down of opinions because you have more. This is why unions exist, both in the real world and in sports. And if those unions have the leverage to allow their members to do things that would appear to you to be various forms of protest because too many of those members might otherwise leave their job--temporarily or otherwise--and the employer's bottom line will be too deeply affected, then the answer is yes, you can force your employer to "protest" on the job... I'm sure it would be contingent upon actually doing your job, though. This is why unions are such a necessity in the America we know and love. They give voice and leverage to the cogs that keep the machine running.

Dear God this is pathetic. I've now been venturing into PPP for a few years and nothing's changed over the last 3 years other than there actually being more of a balance between reasonable posters on BOTH sides of the political spectrum and the OP getting banned for a month for clearly not following his own advice. And #2 of the "ROE" is friggin hilarious. "Show your work" is followed by "stick around for an adult conversation." It's not exactly possible to have an adult conversation with anyone who automatically dismisses the work showed because of the message and the source. You're the one who's fostered this culture of derision over here @Deranged Rhino along with a few other posters (a couple of whom are currently on my ignore list; as @Buffalo_Gal mentioned "ignore is your friend") and to try to pin blame on "the Other" is so hilariously disingenuous of you, which is appropriate. I'd applaud this thread coming from almost anyone else. Coming from you, it's a joke. 2 months until your new avatar...

And you are scared as you cower in a corner in the safety of your fellow conspiracy theorists. You know Donald Trump is losing in November and you're going to be saddled with a beautiful Biden avatar for a year. You've clearly been slowly coming to that critical stage of grief--acceptance--over the last month or 2. Hopefully you're fully immersed in that stage by November... who knows, maybe you'll grow to love and appreciate your new avatar.

Your confusion can be very easily cleared up: Look who he's running against.

I realize this is more than 140 characters, so it will be difficult for many here to maintain attention... but read it, nonetheless: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2020/09/04/business/stock-market-today-coronavirus While wage data in the United States have risen rapidly during much of the pandemic era, the trend reflects a statistical quirk. Workers at the lower end of the earning spectrum have disproportionately lost jobs, taking smaller data points out of the pool and pushing up the overall average in what economists call a “compositional shift.” “The large employment fluctuations over the past several months — especially in industries with lower-paid workers — complicate the analysis of recent trends in average hourly earnings,” the Labor Department report said. Average hourly wages were 4.7 percent higher in August than they were a year earlier. That is slightly weaker than the July figure, but still sharply elevated from the 3.3 percent average gain for the data series in 2019. On the ground, the wage story has been complicated, based on anecdotal evidence. While some employees have received hazard pay for coming to the workplace while infection remains a risk, others have taken wage cuts as companies tried to avoid furloughing workers even as revenues sank. Employers have at times reporting raising pay to compete with expanded unemployment insurance, which lapsed in late July. “A number of staffing agencies reported that before enhanced unemployment benefits had expired, the benefits motivated them to raise wages to attract workers,” according to the Federal Reserve’s Beige Book business survey for August, based on interviews from the Cleveland district. In the Philadelphia area, companies reported retaining so-called “hero” pay, while some in the Atlanta region reported rescinding salary cuts even as others made them permanent.

If these are the types of things you guys are hanging your hat on, you live in an alternate reality. If you watched that entire speech and then Q&A, you'd understand the reality that Faux News, Breitbart, PPP and all the other far right conspiracy theorists are hanging their hats on Twitter moments as proof of a much broader discussion. Clearly you haven't watched Biden's entire speeches and Q&As. If you did, you'd concede he's quite mentally capable of being Commander in Chief, especially when compared with Trump, who I admit has set a very low bar. However, it's clear you and several others aren't going to understand any of this until November at least, so just come back to the main forum already. Just over a week until the season opener

uuuuhhhh... consider? It'd be malfeasance to NOT have a full practice squad of 16.

Without searching through 12 pages, was anyone cut, yet?

Sister-in-law still has a college email that works... $100 for the season without having to convert to DirecTV...

Like they always say... If you can't beat 'em, cheat. This guy is so desperate he's working knowingly or unknowingly with Russia to tear down our democracy.

From the Right's most beloved pollster

Trump better get himself within 3% nationally if he wants a shot at this election. It's absolutely amazing to say that for an incumbent who's currently a longshot to get reelected... The election is T-minus 2 months exactly and I keep hearing Trump is going to close the gap but it's just not happening. Cue the "bu... bu.. bu.. but 2016!!!" crowd in 3... 2... 1...

I doubt he makes the team. He might be on the expanded Practice Squad though. Big Duke fan... we just have too much WR depth... for once.

We just haven't been exposed to any actual Football. No preseason to lubricate our palate. The answer is no... I'm sooooooo stoked about Football in less than 2 weeks!!!

I'm confused. I thought yesterday was the last day of media coverage for practice until the regular season.

You ever get an answer? This is something I'm trying to figure out

I think you're right. My sister-in-law sent me a screenshot of what she saw when she typed in her school email and it's $24.99 per month for 4 months. Do you or anyone else know who's used the NFL Sunday Ticket U? My only concern is what devices are supported. In the description it says "watch on your compatible tablet, smartphone, laptop, or connected device like a game console." There's a link at the bottom of "Supported Devices" but since I only got a screen shot from my sister-in-law I don't know what those are. I have a Samsung Smart TV. It's not a device so I'm guessing it wouldn't be supported. But the TV has an Internet Browser. Anyone know if that would work because the platform thinks it's a laptop? I don't think my 1st generation Roku would work. Would a Chromecast work? Anyone know? If I can't put it on my big screen TV, I don't want it.

Idiot. Thanks for a great example of why I hate PPP. You're wildly misinformed and love to distort the facts. Everyone has always known people dying are typically those with underlying conditions. This, however, doesn't mean these people are dying with or without Covid. It means there are underlying conditions that are toxic as it relates to Covid being introduced. Those dying over the last 6 months from Covid who also had diabetes are dying because Covid was thrown into the mix with a disease many were managing aren't asterisks in your sickening tally because, like Trump, you want the numbers to look good. Stop shaming people with underlying conditions. Asthma is one of those underlying conditions. More Americans probably have them than you'd think. 10,000 perfectly healthy people with no underlying conditions died from this in the last 6 months. Scary.
