Raymond, Larkin, Veleno line started to click a little in the 2nd after not doing much in the 1st.

Keene just came in, if Davis doesn't bolt that's two options if Underwood is redshirted. Wouldn't be surprised if Orji could succeed at any skill position at D1 except the one he wants to play.

One good play, but otherwise continues to be snake bit with his puck handling. Getting Tarasenko going would be a good 1st victory for McLellan. I like that McLellan split up Edvinsson and Seider. Two decent pairs is better than two mostly bad pairs.

Not sure what it all means but all Terry Gilliam references get a like.

so why didn't he?

oddly enough, Hoover ended up being quite influential in his post presidential life. Chaired a government re-org program for Truman but probably more his establishment (pre presidency) and fundraising (post presidency) for the Hoover Institution - which has had enduring influence on US politics.

I wouldn't knock the number of caddies Gerald Ford may have put through school...... ⛳

Taking a bad contract and 'Fixing' an under performing player maybe the only way the Wings acquire a top talent. Risky business though.

still in all, he was a much better ex-president than president. He was overconfident and unprepared in 1976 and by 1980 he was pretty much in a state of paralysis in both foreign and economic policy. I'm glad he found personal redemption in his life, but as a purely political calculation it would have been nice if he hadn't done so much to grease the skids for Reagan.

exactly. I think the program assumed it was going to be a throw away year but in hindsight the season turned out to be a missed opportunity all because they didn't come up with a QB.

well -- now we can flush this season out of the memory bank.

If they had put a sign up for tryouts on the bulletin board at the UGLI in August they probably could have come up with a better QB than Warren or Orji.

with no Edwards or Mullings they should have just promoted Orji to running back.

seems likely, but assuming the big 5 aren't interested and the big money isn't there, he might decide playing for a winner is at least a consolation prize. Of course, it's not a foregone conclusion anyone yet considers the Tigs a likely winner.

I think all athletes are driven to 'win' but there does seem to be a spectrum from the athletes whose idea of 'win' is their salary ranking and those for whom the idea of 'win' is games/championships. And you see a good number of guys from the 1st group decide later they wanted to be in the 2nd group.

Scoring big is just a matter of good planning. You simply have to have the foresight to be a FA in the year that the Mets, Dodgers and Yankees all have a need at your position.

Also easy enough to see that the Angels were a bad choice in hindsight, but when Ohtani signed they were only a couple years out from being a solid winning org.

this is all part of a larger societal conflict over food production. 1st world consumers want food produced by 'non-industrial' processes, but that's fundamentally at conflict with the need to feed 7 billion people from earth's available agricultural base. Basically the rich are willing to price the poor out of the ability to feed themselves. If you are in favor of kinder/gentler agriculture you better be in favor of either population reduction or at least big reductions in meat consumption (which is the biggest resource consumer) or you are holding to contradictory economic ideas.

I just read an interesting twist, which is that the states that were transitioning to cage-free had been doing marginally better against H1N1, but now are being hit as hard as non-cage free operations as the virulence increases. So you may be seeing the cage free states just catching up to the rest of rest of country in bird flu impact. So cage-free may be a factor in why a price increase now, but not the cost issue per se. https://www.fooddive.com/news/post-holdings-egg-business-impacted-by-bird-flu-as-prices-rise/735694/#:~:text=Michael Foods%2C responsible for brands,about 14% of Post's supply.

And those were both bad ints. Not like good throws off his receiver’s hands. One was an out of control throw, one was bad field vision to not see Kirby sitting on the route, so totally on Purdy in both cases.

Agree - I think Anzalone's loss has been a bigger deal than generally recognized.

The general public has this idea that nature is cut and dried black/white male/female and it just isn't so. Chromosomes do lots of out of the ordinary things and there are other occurrences were nature decides not to play to simple cultural boxes, like embryos that are genetically male that end up with a hormone receptor block and you get a female phenotype with a male genotype. Nature is pretty sloppy actually. I don't remember which sports org it was, but their rule was which ever sex you went through puberty in was where you were assigned. That actually makes some sense because development of secondary sexual strength characteristic probably ties closer to testosterone in puberty than anything else. Maybe there are downsides to that criterion as well but it seemed like a fair starting point. That does rule out adults who transition (the cases that generates most of the heat) but allows a place for those whose genetics happen not to be bowtie neat.

I wonder if it just goes back to him not being 'strong' on his skates. I don't think he has the balance as a skater to try to play much of a physical game without ending up on his butt all the time.

the schools may have signed into who knows what kind of binding covenants when they joined their conferences or NCAA so I imagine there will be some kind of legal arguments, but in the end that all goes away once the leaving teams pay a suitable ransom for their freedom.

More likely bird flu. The recent reporting is mostly about it jumping into the cows (and then people) but if cows are getting it its because it's still going around in chicken flocks.
