"The president today posted another instagram story of him squatting while talking to the prime minister of england. They hashed out a new trade deal while he finished his the final set of his 5x5 at 80%.

Critics have said the President shouldn't wear only his singlets under a Pikachu tshirt. Defenders of the president have said 'he looks fantastic. who gives a poo.'

We're joined now by right wing talk show host Ben Shapiro and should say, in the interest of journalistic integrity, he absolutely does not lift."

Because you can't lock up the sick, the elderly, people with health issues, etc. just because you want to "play normally". That's not the way the world works. You want to go back to work? You want to play? WEAR A MASK. If everyone wore a mask from the start we wouldn't be where we are. But the youth, and the anti-mask people have kept the pandemic afloat.

Simple question: If someone said, yes, you can go back to work. Yes, you can go to the club, and the bar. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO is wear a mask. Would you wear a mask? So odd that some people still wouldn't.

As was said earlier in the thread, the "at risk" category starts in the 40s and increases in the 50s and 60s.  Society absolutely can not function "normally" with those people on lock down.  The second we put that policy in place, nearly every major construction project in the country would stop instantly because the higher risk age groups are where most of your foreman and superintendents are.

I used the word "play" to refer to activities outside of work, and I actually said "especially with wearing a mask".

I actually agree with you on the importance of wearing mask so relax.

My point was I think we could do a better job of really protecting the high risk.  Maybe everyone wear a mask and then subsidize the high risk to stay at home.

During the lockdown the government paid low risk people to stay at home, meanwhile you had high risk people still working in "essential" businesses.

22 year old healthy bartender gets unemployment to stay at home but 65 year old person with diabetes is still working at the grocery store?

Are we trying to stop the spread or trying to stop the deaths?

Don't come in here with common sense, who do you think you are?

I only care about stopping the deaths, that is the only controllable thing. It is going to spread, that is the inevitable thing. All we are doing is delaying the spread, so these "Numbers" going up, does not necessarily represent deaths.

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
