Not what Tigers fans had in mind coming into the offseason when discussing bringing back arms from the glory days lol

My immediate reaction is that while McCarthy is taking the bulk of the heat for that fiasco at the end, it's yet another example of how the love for Kellen Moore (and the fact that he keeps getting interviews) is just inexplicable to me. I don't get it. He's not that good, and the Cowboy offense has been a hot mess all season. That can't all be Dak and McCarthy's fault and not at all on the guy actually calling the plays.

That seems to be what the former guy is lying about though

Looks like Donnie is playing the race card again...

What a beatdown...

Really sad situation playing out locally

I guess I'm unclear as to how this is unique to the left. In general, we have a lot of people across the spectrum who don't do a great job listening to the other side or respecting their views.

Yep. DirecTV is under no obligation to carry their speech, just as they are under no obligation to carry any other channel.

Since you ignored it earlier: But let's be honest here.... conservatives are all about shutting down speech they don't like. That's really what this comes down to, and a big reason why the cancel culture debate is mostly just a bunch of bollocks in my view : the same people who complain about OANN today had no problem canceling Natalie Maines for her comments back in the day about the Iraq War. Or calling for Colin Kaepernick's head. It all comes down to whose ox is being gored.... if one wants to be really principled and say you are all about free speech, you need to do it in all instances. And one needs to be able to recognize that businesses making a business decisions or trusts making decisions in their private interests (ie. the dumb Dr. Seuss controversy) is not cancel culture, but simply business.

Yep. And to the extent that people are complaining about DirectTV and their decision here, it's yet another case of how the new conservative ethos is to have the unequivocal right to say incendiary and false stuff while being shielded from any consequences for those choices. It's a wild position for self-described capitalists to take. What a time to be alive.

Absolutely. And from experience as an engineer, 100 acres is miniscule.... there are probably thousands of projects that are happening in this country on a daily basis that clear more acreage for activities that produce far more carbon than this project would. Just dumb all around.... no wonder climate activism is pretty ineffective at winning hearts and minds.

Wildcard Round AFC KC over Pittsburgh Buffalo over New England Cincinnati over Las Vegas NFC Tampa over Philly Dallas over SF LA over Arizona Divisional Round AFC Cincinnati over Tennessee Buffalo over KC NFC Green Bay over LA Dallas over Tampa Conference Championship AFC Buffalo over Cincinnati NFC Green Bay over Dallas Super Bowl Green Bay (38) over Buffalo (31)

This seems like a good place to share this. If you're working to change how energy is delivered in this country in a broad way, this strikes me as an absolutely insane position. It's a big reason why I often don't understand what climate activism seeks to accomplish.... it all just comes across as "zero development ever", which taken to it's logical end, basically means going back to the stone age.

Because the base of potential MSNBC/CNN viewers may be more predisposed to get their news via more traditional sources (ie. newspapers / national news broadcasts) than they would be from watching cable news?

Probably these guys, Randy

https://healthcare.utah.edu/healthfeed/postings/2022/01/myocarditis-covid19.php For what it's worth, here's a good, easy to understand read from the University of Utah on myocarditis and its connection to COVID / COVID vaccines. The upshot is that you are more likely to develop myocarditis from getting COVID than you are from the vaccine. Seems like a pretty compelling factor to consider

Just to back up a second, would this be indicative of his defense for having said that young healthy adults shouldn't get vaccinated?

Business makes business decision. That's called capitalism, Archie.

A real Bill Engvall moment for these folks lol

Not to get too personal, but I'm 33 years old and am just about recovered from a breakthrough case of COVID. Despite being in the presence of others while initially showing symptoms, including family members who are older than I, none of them yet has started showing symptoms or has tested positive. My wife, who I live with and don't really have the choice of isolating from, has tested negative throughout this whole thing. I can't say that it would have played out exactly this way had I (or others) not been vaccinated. I'm not 100% sure it would have been as mild, and I'm even less sure that I wouldn't have given it to others. That's my argument against Rogan's point right there... it isn't about me dingus, it's about everyone else in my life.

Certainly, it's important to meet people where they are. If you are someone in Sanjay Gupta's position and your goal is to try to educate and hopefully change a few minds, you can't just stick to familiar outlets, you have to sometimes go places where the audience may be less receptive. Having said all that, it doesn't really change my view that Rogan isn't a very well informed person or that he doesn't know what he's talking about on COVID a lot of the time.

I mean, if it helps even a small amount, that's an argument in order to get the vaccine. Especially when it isn't clear to me what the argument is against a younger person getting a vaccine.

I haven't listened to him much either, but to the extent that I have, this seems right. But I can see how his takes on COVID become problematic during a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic as well.

Should healthy 21 year olds be concerned about spreading COVID to others? Even with reduced efficacy with respect to Omicron, my understanding is that the vaccine does help reduce spread.
