Uuuuhhhh... wtf...? He was a pretty darn loyal team reporter... so much so that I would go elsewhere. I feel bad for the guy.

Hang on can someone explain to me the college email thing as it relates to DTV? I believe both my wife's sister and brother-in-law have edu emails because they're finishing up school. So they can get it streaming?

Will it be streamed in any way? I'm getting so damn excited!!! Football in 2 1/2 weeks!!!

I wasn't the one who brought them up. @Deranged Rhino did because he's absolutely obsessed with polls despite clamoring he's not. The truth is he's just been upset for so long that he's going to lose our bet that he wants to use any teeny tiny thing he can get to pretend this is still a competitive bet. 2016 was then. Trump eeked out an election by about 70,000 critical votes in 3 states, none of which he's actually been leading in with polls for the battleground states. This is 2020. 180,000+ people have died in 6 months. Our economy is in a deep recession on its way to a depression potentially as places across the country are having to lock down again. There's massive civil unrest that, among other things, may have just ended the NBA season. I won't even ask you if you really think Trump will win. It's clear you do. So what do you--clearly a Trump supporter--think the odds are of Trump winning? 52-48? 55-45? 60-40?

Rasmussen, the poll that's ALWAYS been the most favorable Trump poll, still has Biden leading +1. The other 3 polls conducted in the most recent timeframe have Biden +9, +7, and +7.

Posting this because school started. We postponed 10 days from a planned "hybrid model" in favor of full Distance Learning through September 11th. School started one week ago. Since then I've had 1 student email me that she and her Mom have Covid. Another student emailed me that he's quarantined because his Dad has Covid. These are unprompted emails. I didn't ask them to inform me. These students wanted to let me know in case they fall behind. I have 100% of students with DL access after a week of reaching out to make sure. Being a good online teacher is an arduous task. Any teacher who tells you it's easy isn't doing it right. I'd rather be back in the classroom full time, but it's not safe right now for students, students' families or teachers in many, many places around the country.

Me too, but I think the NFL should make it universal.

Getting pretty stoked about this team. Gabe Davis looks like he's going to see tons of time on the field. Loved the bomb he caught against Tre and Tre's reaction. Side question: is it an absolute that Buffalo can't have fans in the stands?

The criminals are those hosting the illegal streams, not those viewing them via livestream.

This is going to be sneaky good practice for Allen continuing to improve his accuracy as he runs in for a TD and then wants to throw it into the stands to fans. Now fans won't be all over. He needs to find clusters and get the ball to them accurately

Holy cow! It looks like actual training camp!

Will the padded practices be covered by the media?

Oy... not good https://apnews.com/d0dc7c4719667d1a7f69cc9b8ab204c9 In addition to people who applied last week for state benefits, nearly 489,000 others sought jobless aid under a new federal program that has made self-employed and gig workers eligible for the first time. That figure isn’t adjusted for seasonal trends, so it is reported separately. Counting those receiving aid under the new program would bring to 28.2 million — roughly 18% of the U.S. workforce — the number of Americans now receiving some form of unemployment benefits. With confirmed virus cases still high, it’s not clear when business owners will be able to reopen or will have enough customers to rehire.

Not reading a conversation separate from those 3 posts, which clearly say something you're now denying. Why would I waste my time? I don’t care if you made that bet, I just want assurance you'll abide by our bet by being here with a beautiful new avatar. You seem to be saying you will be. So we're good for now

I suggest you take a reading class then. Evidently you're oblivious to how to answer a "yes/no" question. Let me help you, it's either "yes" or "no."

So is that a yes? You will be leaving the board for a year AFTER sporting the new avatar I give you in November?

Don't be a dick. Your simple sentence says absolutely nothing about what you actually will do. It makes a statement about "fair" vs. "unfair." As long as you abide by our bet, but... Does that mean that you will leave the board the year after you sport my new avatar? After all, you say you're honorable, right? Don't you have to also abide by the bet you made with @Crayola64?

Note the operative "?" and word "if" posted multiple times So how about answering the "?" first. If you didn't make the bet, ignore everything after the "if" Life is busy. I'm not breaking down what the two of you did or did not agree upon and whether it was hypothetical or concrete.

Are you seriously telling me you made the avatar bet with me AND a bet that you'd leave for a year at the same time? You do realize if you're gone for a year, you aren't abiding by the terms of our bet because you won't actually be here to sport my new lovely avatar for you, right? So when you lose our bet in November, if your current bet with @Crayola64 is that you have to be gone for a year, then when you come back, you'll have to sport my new avatar. I have no idea when the 2 of you made your bet, but I know you and I made ours over a year ago, so if you made your bet with him after we made ours, I'm sure you understand you would need to come back with a new avatar. And if you made the bet with him before me and didn't tell me you'd be gone for a year anyway, that's shady.

The way you post makes me actually think you believe Trump wins. @Deranged Rhino doesn't post like that anymore. He posts like a defeated man. He acts like a kid puffing his chest out to his friends outside the bear cave bragging how he won't just poke the bear, but he'll punch it in the face. Then when he walks into the cave and sees the bear, he stands silently for a moment in terror so his friends don't think he chickened out then walks out lying about what he did. He knows he's about to lose this bet, even if he doesn't verbalize it. It's just so obvious from how drastically he's changed in his interactions with me. You, on the other hand, seem to genuinely believe Trump wins. For that, I feel sad. I am a man of my word and will change my avatar if Trump wins. I made the bet and I'm a man of my word. It's just not happening.

Actually I already disproved your assertion of Russia. I don’t know how much we've talked one on one about the 2016 election, but I know you've said multiple times you were wrong with it, too. As for the election coming up... Just be ready... your avatar will be changing.

Getting closer and closer to NFL Football all weekend

Trump rode the wave of 6+ years of steady economic recovery under the wave of Obama. And the gap between "people of color" and White people was as wide as it always was. You understand that it's the gap that's the biggest point of contention, right? Soooo... As I stated, your belief that Donald Trump has been a unique benefit for people of color fallacious. Just here to help because I like you

You're the Grandpa that tells the same story at the dinner table every week, thinking he's telling it for the first time, aren't you? Rhetorical question obviously since you clearly don't have a clue.

You must be thinking of someone else. Either that or you're just trolling. Biden was the guy I thought would win the Democratic nomination all along because he's the safest bet to beat Trump in November. I've been saying that for almost a year and a half now. I also said a Biden-Harris ticket was one I preferred most because I liked Harris more than Biden. My batting average here at PPP is damn good, and it's about to get better in November as I give @Deranged Rhino a lovely new avatar when Trump loses. You're smarter than this. If you can't differentiate between personal preferences in a vacuum vs. personal preferences as it relates to beating the loathsome Donald Trump, then you aren't thinking hard enough.
