It's almost like there's a pattern of asking dumb questions with Doocy

Buddha brought him into it. And yes, he's an idiot too. For the exact incident you highlight. And, whats your point exactly? Why is it my job to account for opinions I don't personally hold?

All the more reason why I don't need to hear the people who directed "shut up and dribble" at James/Kaepernick defend Rodgers on that basis. Conservatives, particularly the social media set, get off the hook way too easy for this kind of hypocrisy. I really don't need to hear from the same people who direct that at LeBron or Kaepernick, or going back even further, stunted Natalie Maines' career prospects on this.

Of course they have the right. Some are just mad that the rest of us have the right to hold an opinion on Aaron Rodgers.

In terms of there being two standards, it's pretty clear that's the case for Laura Ingraham. At the end of the day, all of this stuff boils down to the fact that people think 1A means that they (or whichever celebrity they find themselves aligned with) can say whatever they want without without any sort of consequences or blowback. And that's just not how any of this works.... In reality, it's never been how any of this has ever worked. The only difference now is that, simliar to what I said to Archie on the Mars controversy in another thread, is that the culture has changed. What maybe wouldn't have generated heat in 2003 now generates it in 2022. And, consequently, a lot of people aren't happy about that.

My response belies this claim.

Uh, Yes? EDIT: My only point is that a lot of the same people who screamed "shut up and dribble" at Kaepernick all of a sudden seem to think that a crime is being committed when someone criticizes or makes fun of Aaron Rodgers. We have 1A in this country. Rodgers or Lebron or whoever can say what they want, but it doesn't insulate them from other people using their 1A rights to call them idiots.

I can't speak for others, but I don't partircularly care what Rodgers says or doesn't say. But just as he has his First Amendment right to convey whatever thoughts he pleases, I also have the First Amendment right to call him a fucking idiot.

The crowd that birthed the "shut up and dribble" euphemism seems much less interested in applying the rule in Rodgers' case. At least if my FB timeline is to be believed.

Correct.... Class I railroads have their own police that have jurisdictions on their property. UPRR's police, like the other Class I's, are certified state law enforcement officers with investigative and arrest powers both on and off railroad property in most states. They also have interstate law enforcement authority pursuant to federal law. To be clear, there's overlap with local law enforcement, but yeah, UPRR bears a lot of responsibility for what happens on their ROW... and I'm not sure that LAPD or CHP would be first in the chain of command here.

The OT Rules are what they are, id like to see them change but the Bills made some key errors down the stretch. Kicking the touch back stands out to me... if they squib that, I'll bet they win. Regardless, I'm hard pressed to think of a better game in my lifetime than this one. Super Bowl 36 (Rams-Patriots) and Super Bowl 43 (Steelers-Cards) are the only ones that come to mind aside from this one.

He did. Still remember 2016 versus the Vikings. Very similar situation to this one (around 40 seconds left, 1 timeout)

Beyond happy for Stafford... he deserves this

Wow, Dick Butkus bringing the heat lol

It was included in an actual NYT story. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/21/business/fast-food-prices-inflation.html

Similar to the NYT story yesterday about the stock options bro complaining about a $9 burrito. The industry appears to increasingly outsourcing their shoe-leather journalism to scrolling on Twitter. It's a shame.

The special teams will wear it, but their offense deserves a share of the blame as well

At it's most simple, they are coworkers! We all have coworkers who we may disagree with things on but get along with or are friends with. Maybe it's magnified to an extent when you are a Supreme Court Justice, but they still need to show up and coexist with their coworkers. When you add in the privilege that comes with reaching that level of the profession, It's not hard to figure out.

My read of this scoop is that the administration is trying to figure out a way to help ameliorate the EU need for Russian gas. I get what you are saying on sacrifice, but the thing is that while we are the alpha dog, we are also on a different continent. The threat of a Russian invasion is existential to Europe (particularly Eastern and Central Europe) but, just as was the case during both World Wars, it's a lot more abstract to us. After all, it took until 1917 for us to enter WWI and Pearl Harbor (undertaken by Japan) for us to enter WWII. Personally, I think we need to go to the mattresses for Ukraine. But I dont know that a lot of Americans feel as I do.

My understanding is that they don't... I seem to recall some reporting a while back that they have had good rapport

A deal like NAFTA is a multiple administration ordeal. If it was negotiated across administrations, everyone has their fingers on it IMO. But again, NAFTA is complicated... whether one sees it as good or bad really depends on what industry one is in or what part of the country one lives. Go tell someone down in the Rio Grande Valley that NAFTA is terrible... you won't find a ton of agreement.

Tapper was the last weekday cable show I would watch/listen to regularly. The latter half of the show with the talking heads panel is just terrible... I really don't care to hear what partisan randos like Nina Turner or Mary Katherine Ham or Scott Jennings think about the world. Doesnt add anything constructive whatsoever.

Remember when Colin Kaepernick was gonna bankrupt Nike? Pepperidge Farm Remembers....
