Great point!

I was reading one of the letters my mom has from one of her ancestors who happened to be one of the 1st ministers to come over here to the "new world" just the other day. He was ordained by the King and writing to him going in great detail about their hardships with disease, lack of medicines and essential supplies, etc. Made me give pause and realize as crazy as this world has gone, we at least have it way better than the 1st settlers did in most aspects.

We have what I call First World problems today. I have a great example that I use with those around me to prove that our problems today would have been non existent in your example above.

I personally think the 2013 roster was the worst.

I am not sure how it's even debatable.

to tell a family secret, my grandmother was Dutch.

There are two things in this world that I cannot stand.....

You’re all 100% morans tho.

I have been applying for jobs recently and putting that on my application to gain minority status. I have not gotten any call backs yet. Weird.

Bad news: We're all morans.
Good news: There isnt any.

I am Native American... My family was in Tennessee before the nation's founding so I claim to be Native American

People only have an issue when athletes use their platform to address things they don’t agree with or understand. If any athlete came out and banged the table for better treatment for veterans, no one would have an issue with it.

Spot on.

Both sides of your family?

Brees is best recent example there is.

Poor guy still didn't understand kneeling after 4 years Still thought it was about the military or disrespecting the anthem. Yikes. I like Brees, but talk about willful ignorance at the time. Seems he finally took the time to understand it though, so props to him for taking his head out of the sand as well.

I am 0.6% Nigerian and 1.1% unidentified
17% Scandinavian. The rest german and Irish.

I take that as I am a demigod

Emory Jones is dogpiss and they lost every weapon they have plus their best tackle.

Dude has some wheels though...but his passing is mediocre. Just the type of random Gator QB that will shock us with multiple long TD backbreaking runs like some Trey Burton bs.

Not every athlete or fan is American so what if it bothers them like it bothers you to hear athletes bringing attention to the struggles black Americans face?

I think push ups are the best work out.

1) they’re free
2) they can be done anywhere
C) they work out the most important muscles—triceps, pecs, shoulders, and triceps.
5) biceps are lame and useless mainly because I can’t grow them. Triceps > biceps
B) incidentally works the core too

Every time someone goes crazy over the benefits of planks, I want to remind them a pushup is a moving plank and has been around for hundreds of years.

A little late to the party, but my take on this:
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Have tried to follow that verse and so have both of my adult sons.
Anyone else on here who teaches and/or coaches sees kids who are broken and angry by the time they get to us, usually because of a combination of hopelessness, fatherlessness, generational poverty and neglectful parenting.
Quiet time in the morning my prayer is to see the kids thru Jesus' eyes, as well as seeing others I encounter that way.
IF we attack these issues on a one to one individual basis and stop looking for the government or ESPN to tell us how to treat one another, we can start to do better as individuals.
Stop letting the internet raise your kids, love your wife as Christ loved the Church.
Sorry if this is too preachy. I'm far from perfect, just an old sorry sinner saved by His Grace. God Bless!!! GO VOLS!!

You're right. It has to be individuals one on one. Government has never done anything but make things worse.

Yeppers! Why plank when you can secondarily do it.

 

[SweetasSoda]

This is true. When you look back at his time at Mizzou, they didn't put up a lot of numbers against the good teams in the division. They even got shut down by Ky. But, Barry Odom was the head coach and we know he was awful. How much was he hamstringing the offense? You look at Heup's offenses at OU and at UCF, he put up big numbers against everyone. That LSU team they played in 2018 was legit on defense. He still put up 35 or whatever it was and moved the ball down the field with ease.

Is it awful that I am excited thinking we're going to put up big numbers on the cupcakes? Like I was expecting against Georgia State or Appy St.
