“societal convention” if that means Political Correctness then yes flaunting it is common sense and long overdue.

Well, I don’t think it’s ok to be an asshole to people, and usually when people complain about PC that’s what they are defending…the right to be an asshole to people.

Not in my experience. I’ve found there are the professional offended who make mountains out of mole hills and people are very tired of it. The intent is to deny people with an opposing view a voice and that pisses people off. Long overdue.

That is why there is the Cry Room in the church. People should use it.

Goff told USA TODAY Sports on Saturday that shortly after the Rams picked him, he sought out Titans passer Marcus Mariota for advice. Mariota suggested Goff try an exercise in his downtime: Record himself saying a play call, play it back, diagram the play on a sheet of paper, and then visualize the progression

Man I love this on so many levels. Not going to gush about it…but I am pleased.

Wait till he tries it with the Rams O line and WRs that are last in the league.

They said the same thing about Sam Bradford.

They tried to build around Bradford. He got injured.

They’re adding Goff to a more developed team: “The one piece that we needed to stabilize our team was QB,” Snead told USA TODAY Sports before Sunday’s practice.

That’s the key…they’re ADDING Goff to what is a more talented team. Goff and Bradford are very different kinds of qb talent btw.

More talented? Gurley is an upgrade otherwise there isn’t an Amendola on this offense. TA is more of a runner and decoy.

Yes thank you that is it.

I’m still with Jill. My interpretation is similar to some of the folks that commented after the article. I think basically she’s saying “lets take these questions/concerns seriously, and not just blow them off, and lets do more research on these issues.” And i agree with that approach. I also dont have a problem with her view of computers/corporations/profit/schools.

That’s fine. There are still more issues in which I agree with Jill than disagree.

But this fear of wifi stuff is ridiculous. The incidence rate of brain cancer is no higher now than prior to the incidence of wifi. And it hasn’t been ‘blown off’. Countless studies have shown there is no link. As pervasive as wifi is today, if it caused cancer, there would be a huge increase in cases. But that hasn’t happened. This is not a question that should be continue to be taken seriously because it simply isn’t supported by data.

Should we continue to spend time and resources determining whether the Earth is round because some people continue to take that question seriously?

So you don’t believe the increasing electromagnetic burden is a cause for concern?

Maybe he’s taking a break from the NFL to smoke dope? Not unheard of for an NFL RB.

Someone has to watch to see if the TV tries to run away.

Then that technology must be the super container ships that allow so much product from slave wage labor countries to be shipped into this country tariff free.

LA camp.

No, I disagree. They paid Foles because they thought he was the answer at QB. No one was talking drafting a QB first overall the next year because the team thought they had their QB in Foles. Hey it is StanK’s cash so no tears here.

Again the differences between us I think amount to semantics.

The point I am making is that they never pumped him up or touted him as top qb talent.

It was all along the lines of he can do the job, not he is top qb talent.

If you’re saying his contract reflected how they estimated him, then, it’s important to note that in the category of qb he was–a starter signing his 2nd contract—his was the lowest of that group, and by far. I mean 4-5 M lower than the next lowest. Plus it was just a 2 year deal. That did not indicate he was The Answer, as in now we’re set for years with a top qb talent. Instead it indicated he was An Answer, as in yes we can win with this guy, he’ll be fine.

They never talked about him the way they talk about Goff, and that’s just a fact.

So it just depends on what one means by The Answer.

To me, from what I saw, the only thing they saw him as The Answer to was not having a vet qb starter (cause they intended to trade Bradford).

They thought he would be okay. The contract numbers reflect that. For anyone else of a higher caliber, including guys like Dalton, that contract is insulting low.

….

….

Ok I can agree with that though the Foles era ended when they drafted Goff.

Not OK. Not a slur. Not angry either. Accommodating, yes.

Not true. You will be allowed to speak. However the gag remains.
