Recommended Posts

I was walking on Lafayette today grabbing lunch and I saw a big poster on a building promoting Thurs Sept 9 NFL kickoff with Dave Matthews Band and one of the girl country singers... with either NBC or CBS and Coors sponsors amongst others on it. The big boys plan on starting the season as normal... I hope.

its actually related to football, this budget that should've been passed last year is being held up over abortion funding(over 90% of PP multi-billion dollar industry). Planned Parenthood was founded by Margaret Sanger with the stated objective of 'exterminating the black population', which is why their abortion clinics are strategically placed in inner cities around the country.

and thus deprive us of the opportunity to draft and be entertained by Cam newton

"We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the ***** population," she said, "if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."

- Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood founder

Planned Parenthood is not a fan of Cam Newton

really guy you know this is just a dick measuring contest right? aint nobodies family going to starve

This. However if this shutdown is as nasty as it is threatening to be, there is going to be a SERIOUS drop in morale.

As a veteran, I know that most military members could give a fug less what happens to them physically (i.e. push ups, 24 hour shifts) as long as they get that check.

Lets see how the re-enlistment and recruiting rate goes NOW.

You will see a lot of AWOL, suicide threats, and nasty uproars if these guys don't get paid. They deserve their money!

Well being current military they must measure up evenly because our LES's (pay stubbs) already reflect only 8 days of pay instead of the 1st through the 15th that it normally does for mid- month pay.

I am vet myself, I know this sucks. But, the troops will get paid. It may be a week on the 15th and the other 3 weeks on the 1st. Single service members and married ones in the field have the basics covered. The married ones, will have to prioritize, which sucks (I know). Creditors/utilities/land lords typically work with military families in situations like these. I was in during the 1995 shutdown, we were told the same thing and we were paid correctly because it only lasted 6 days (and fell right during the month).

To bad politics have to played on everything, this budget should have been passed on Sept 30th, last year. It was an election year, tho...

Here is some info on this last one and what may happen on this one:

"However, if the shutdown lasts past Tuesday, the senior defense official said, the Pentagon is making plans to have an emergency payday and troops may not have to wait until May 1."

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
