    "Slightly better"? Allen is one of the top three candidates for MVP despite playing with the worst receiver room in the league and having Brady in his headset, while Mahomes has a good to very good set of receivers and a HOF playcaller. Allen has by no means been perfect, but he keeps racking up the game-changing plays. I doubt there's a team in the league that wouldn't take him over Mahomes, who doesn't seem like the same player he was two years ago. 

     

    That's fine, and generally I agree with you, but the raw numbers (aside from rush TDs) are closer than the eye test would have us believe this year. Trying to keep it a little objective is all.

     

    Advanced stats show a clearly better season by Josh but counting numbers are what most people see and understand.

    Agree that Mahomes isn’t playing well. If you look at his production over the last 3 seasons it’s really fallen off from where he was earlier in his career. The Chiefs kept winning so it was overshadowed somewhat, but clearly the loss of prime Tyreek Hill and Kelce has made him less effective. It’ll be interesting to see where his career trajectory ends up post Andy Reid as well, assuming he also retires in the next couple of years.

     

    Someone put up Mahomes vs. Brady first five seasons (advantage Mahomes), then the next three (advantage Brady). I did notice how Mahomes' (relative) fall and Brady's rise coincided with the departure and arrival of elite WR talent, respectively.

  3. All this bitching and moaning about Worthy being as bad as Coleman (he's not) is just sophistry designed to distract the entire world from one simple fact: Mahomes is not playing well this year.

     

    Josh is a bit up and down but Bills fans have way more to complain about with Coleman because 1. the plan was for him to be our best WR and he's not, even though the entire room is stocked with JAGs and 2. Josh, while a bit up and down, is having a slightly better year than Mahomes in spite of having lesser talent at the WR position.

    It's varied greatly in the last 10 years   More typical numbers recently

    At least now, we can ignore sour grapes from white applicants.

     

    There are always ways around the numbers game.

     

    I'll say this for JKBJ - she is far more learned and intelligent that J. Sotomayor. KBJ simply doesn't like the power of the executive. Sotomayor fails to understand many things and clearly has little hand in her own opinions, as she's demonstrated very recently.

    Almost every SCOTUS justice is Ivy League.  Brown is.  Davis is not.  But tell me how that's all due to her and his race....

     

    The number of black matriculants at HLS dropped by 65% in the first year without affirmative action.

    The f*** you say.  I will gladly suffer that over McCartney's dreck any day.  It's a wonderful Christmastime if I don't hear that clunker. 🤨


    I worked at Macy’s when I was in college. The Christmas playlist was 60 minutes long. Both of those songs were on the playlist. 
     

    I know many will disagree but I’ll take McCartney.

    FMG’s, on average, are equal to American med grads. They also often go into undersubscribed specialties. Residency and fellowship programs only accept the best. Most immigrants in healthcare do undesirable, underpaid jobs:  nurses aides, orderlies etc. American’s are not being put out of work by these people. 

     

    Foreigners are not equal to Americans.

     

    I will not explain further.

    There is a cap on the number of American medical doctors that can be trained. 
     

    Additionally, medical school acceptance rates broken down by race indicate that the standards are far lower for applicants who are not white or Asian. Given the fairly recent hubbub over affirmative action policies at universities, it’s reasonable to assume this occurs not just for MD programs, but also for BSN and others.

    I see immigrants with a greater desire to strive and succeed and work compared to many native born Americans. Much of the health care staff in our area are from other countries. I always think… what excuse do Americans have for not doing as well. I also see immigrants with strong family support which helps them. 


    Americans are actively discriminated against in the very field you mentioned.

  10. Apropos of nothing... https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-monitors-return-of-supersonic-flight-for-potential-european-expansion

     

    Quote

    With efforts underway to resurrect supersonic travel, the NFL is quietly monitoring the situation, reports Andrew Beaton of the Wall Street Journal.

    Currently, Boom Supersonic and other countries are working on a potential return of passenger flights that can fly faster than the speed of sound. The technology could return as soon as 2029.

     

    By cutting the flight time over the ocean in half (the Concorde allowed Phil Collins to play in both London and Philadelphia during the two-city Live Aid benefit) , the NFL would have one less impediment to the possibility of putting a team or two (or four) in Europe.

     

    Beaton notes that, although the NFL has no “firm plans” to put teams in European countries, the league has “been keeping a close eye on the momentum behind commercial supersonic flights.”

    No stronger statement of American Exceptionalism has ever been voiced.

     

    Amnesty, gun control, no-fault divorce, abortion, deindustrialization, wide open border...

     

    You know, you were clearly being tongue in cheek, but now that I think about it...

    Some is greater than none.  This will worsen an already serious problem.  And in pursuit of what?  A more racially pure society?

     

    My point is that the solution to the physician shortage is not to import doctors trained at the University of Streetshittabad. The physician shortage is downstream of a bunch of problems, not the least of which is college/med school admissions and, yes, a cap on funding of residencies to train American doctors.
