I'm not saying that being an NFL player means you're dumb. The league is loaded with smart dudes. But, being the smart man that YOU are, there is no goddamn way that you believe that all of these guys get into college legitimately qualifying for entry. Me? I call it like I see it. There is not a chance in hell that someone who can't put together a complete sentence in his mother tongue had the grades necessary to get into/graduate from any college.

I don't think a complete separation is the answer. I do, however, think that student-athletes should be accepted into school by the same criteria all other students are. And I think some sort of D league for those who can't get into school for academic reasons, but have pro-level athletic talent. It's a win-win for the athlete and for the scholar who might otherwise be on the outside looking into the school that had no room for them.

Why do you assume they are smart?

Maybe people who aren't smart enough to go to college shouldn't prevent others, who are, from going to college - just to play football and make other people rich. Mind you - I don't fault the players. They're being used.

Biggest weakness: Doesn't have an Offensive Coordinator who designs an offense based on Allen's strengths (and weaknesses).

I think you know as well as I do that most of the players' degrees/education (I use those terms loosely) were not earned and will do nothing for them after football.

And to think ... not one player is getting paid a dime. That's the bigger problem, IMO.

Hey, Virg.

Effin' farmers!

Please, don't fit it up.

Lucky bastard doesn't even need to have any ribs removed.

I took them down tonight. One nest was empty. That one went into the garbage. The other one had an egg in it, but I think it's an old egg. I left it out, but not hanging.

With flats, I hold it by one end and put the entire flat in my mouth so it lays flat on my tongue. Then I lightly clench my teeth and pull it out. Top and bottom teeth grab the most of the chicken off of both sides of the flat. Then I snap it with the twist and pull method and clean the bones off. It's the best way, IMO, to get the most meat at once. Eating it with the "little corn on the cob" method will just get little pieces of meat at a time. Eff that! My method gets most of the meat and most of the flavor with one pull!

Did it slip your mind?

Made you limp your ass in here!!

I've actually got a problem with juncos this year. I mentioned it earlier in the thread, but they've nested in both of my hanging baskets. So I've got two dead hanging baskets hanging in my porch. Sure the neighbors are loving that as they walk by, LOL. But they are MEAN bastards. I can't use my porch. They attack. And now they seem to have nested in the back, where I do my grilling. I haven't been attacked out back, yet - but I'm sure it's just a matter of time.

Why not put his name in your thread title?

One. You couldn't win ONE?!?!?!?!?!

That's a tad harsh, don't you think?

and he cannot lie.

Don't forget Lemmy!

And the beauty of it is that you don't have to get too close (unless you're Tony Fauci, LOL)! Good luck!!

I actually had a skunk problem for a couple years. Found this remedy online. Soak tennis balls in ammonia over night. Next day, roll the tennis balls under the shed. It's preferable to do it when you know they're out, but I never worried about it. The ammonia smell makes them think another animal has come and pissed in their territory. They pack up the fam and leave. I did it for two years straight. They left both times and (knock on wood) I haven't had skunks under my shed in at least 5 years, maybe more. Robins are the first sign of spring here. And for that, I love them!
