I have no idea what show you are talking about, and I certainly wouldn't want 19 kids, but unless they are living off of other people, and impacting others negatively, I don't think it is really anybodies fuggin business.

How many families could support 19 kids and not live off the dole? How much money does it take to support that size of a family........

I've seen it once when the wife was watching. They don't watch tv, but are on tv. That was weird to me because they are lifting up what they are forbidding their kids to watch. Maybe its just my point of view.

The other thing is that the last kid was born with some sort of defect. Maybe that will make them stop? The age of the parents had to have been a factor I'd think.

They're part of a sort of cult. There's a subsect of Christians who believe that you should have as many children as God will bless you with. You just keep having them until you can't anymore. Some can afford it, others can't. Anyone who watches this show will remember the Duggar's friends the Bates' who also practice this craziness. They visited them in their shanty of a house where 18 kids and 2 adults were living in a 1700 sqft house! They got donations and spent some of their TV money to build them a house that could hold them all, Extreme Makeover style.

The Duggar's are wackos, and remind me of people in Juniper Creek on Big Love.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
