Define similar? What about Stanford besides his TD to INT ratio? How is Stafford similar to Allen?
You think I’m being sarcastic because I’m forcing you to think outside the echo chamber.
To dismiss his leading the league in TDs while also minimizing turnovers means you are not worth discussing. I don't think Maye is MVP material but Stafford is playing lights out. Let me ask you what weakness do you see in Staffords candidacy?

Listen to yourself. Why are team wins more important than an individual being most valuable player?
Separate your mind from the brainwashing.
Allen should have 3-5 MVP and multiple SBs already. GOAT.
I am not sure if you are being sarcastic, but if you have two guys who are similar wouldn't you pick the guy who wins more? Stafford has had a phenomenal year.

Right now it is Staffords and if the Rams win the #1 seed he deserves, because team wins should matter some. But if they falter and Josh gets us to the #1 seed I could see it happening

I hope you don't teach statistics.
Or epidemiology.

Humans struggle to grasp the extent of exponential growth, which is essential to comprehend the spread of an infectious disease. Exponential growth bias is the tendency to linearize exponential functions when assessing them intuitively. Effective public health communication about the nonlinear nature of infectious diseases has strong implications for the public’s compliance with strict restrictions.
I am not arguing that because it is not linear it is not the cause, I am arguing that historically the measles are primarily from foreigners who were not immunized and the hot spots are in areas where large number of illegals are. By the way the exponential factor would have to at a factor of 8 for it to be primarily Americans who are unvaxed, which is not a factor that is normally found in the real world. (1.4'8=14) Cause and effect here is more likely the one that is historically the trend

And what about the outbreaks the have zero to do with immigration? They’ve been mentioned in this thread. It’s not a trust me bro moment at all. Just watch over the next few years as these numbers grow due to massive amounts of misinformation after Covid. There’s going to be a point where you just can’t deep blaming immigrants. I’m not saying there’s zero blame there; but it’s yet another excuse for bad policy. Were were also told the immigrants are the cause of crime, housing prices, lack of jobs, etc. now it’s measles.
edit: where are you getting your numbers from 5-7%?
I am getting the numbers from the CDC.
https://www.cdc.gov/schoolvaxview/data/index.html
I would also appreciate it if you would stop pretending that legal and illegal immigrants are the same I live among a large amount of legal immigrants, you do not, and the legal ones are not the issue here, they are vaccinated.

Flawed reasoning.
You had herd immunity.
Now in some areas you don't.
These things don't increase linearly.
Nice job of not responding to the part directly beneath it. And my logic is not flawed you are simply being dishonest, my math is logical. a 40% increase in one related field does become a a 1400% increase in the other. The legal community is still considered reaching a herd immunity of over 92%, so the main driver of the increase of cases is foreign people who are not vaccinated, which is required of legal immigrants

jesus man. you'll listen to any excuse. so it was strictly due to immigrants? it isn't and you're being fed excuses. you know what the biggest transmitted disease they typically bring in? tb. not measles. and say some did bring measles in with them. they're going to an area where people are making the decision not to get vaccinated, making them more vulnerable and increasing transmission. guess what happened after covid? vaccines became political and idiots started spreading misinformation, making the amount of nonvaccinated people in certain areas skyrocket, but sure...blame immigration rather than stupid decision based on politics. they new antivax crowed blew up after covid...just look as some of the comments in these threads. people who don't have a handle on the science at all now feel they're informed. they're not. they're being confused.
The unvaxed numbers were always around 5% in our country until about 2020, since then it has raised to 7%. If you think that 40% increase is the primary reason responsible for a 1400% increase in cases then we can't have a reasonable discussion. A few facts according to the CDC
Data from a 2017 study notes that in the U.S., about 38% of imported cases were foreign visitors, while 62% were U.S. residents returning from travel abroad.
I will make one other point to you because I made an effort to find the story in 1983 the US had 97% of counties have 0 cases but one county in FL had 93 cases in the first half of the year centered around a migrant camp. If you don't recognize the primary issue as immigration of non immunized people then I can't help you. Truly your argument is now based entirely on "trust me bro"

No. Absolutely not. To blame this on open boarders is a total cop out. There’s measles outbreaks in pockets all over the country, and guess what? They have the lowest vaccination rates. Florida will likely be the next big outbreak because of the same policies. Illegals have been coming into this country for years and the measles hasn’t become an issure until after COVID. The constant lack of accountability and placing plane by some it too much.
The numbers jump from 63 to over 2000 since 2010 and you think it is the primarily antivax crowd? We have always had antivax people, the demographic simply changed from hippie liberals to conservatives, what changed is the people bringing it into the country. Without the illegal immigrants the numbers would still be below 100.

Children should get Measles vaccinations.
Also we shouldn’t have had 4 years of open borders.
Seems pretty straightforward and both are causing the uptick.
No idea why both sides can’t agree on this.
We shouldn't have needed the measles vaccine since we had eliminated measles in the US. Without the open borders we would not have had an issue. That being said I did get my kids the measles shot and would again but it should be my choice.

Who is she? Can't be bothered to look her up. Who cares what she thinks? It's not like sexual abuse charges never took down a white major college head coach. But Paterno is still beloved. This guy won't be. Neither should be.
I know her because she started at the Orlando Sentinel making racial issues out of the Magic when we had Dwight Howard. She is an annoying twit who used to live near me so this kinda crap from her bothers me more than it should but she is a moron.

As noted, regardless of how KBJ was on law review, she in fact was on law review, meaning she worked 20-30 hours/week on it and still had grades as good as Gorsuch based on them both graduating ***** laude (as did I and about 30-40% of my class--the top 10-15% (including Obama, BTW) graduated magna). Not being on law review, Gorsuch didn't have that 20-30/week burden.
Yet she's the one you folks love to attack as somehow unworthy and unqualified. I wonder why?
Not "up to snuff"? Where did you get your law degree? Prager U?
Did she lie to the Senate during her confirmation hearing on Roe being settled precedent (I believe Kavanaugh even used the term "Super Precedent")? Did she decide to make the President a king in that ridiculous immunity decision? (Don't worry, though, the Court will reverse that one so fast it will make your head spin if and when a Democrat is allowed to become President again.)
Another SC justice said this about her "We will not dwell on Justice Jackson's argument, which is at odds with more than two centuries' worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself" and she has been voted at least twice as 8-1. I don't need to be a legal scholar to know that when this is happening that she is over her skis. I also don't need to be a legal scholar to know a judge that releases a person back into the community who has been convicted dozens of times of violent crimes is incompetent. Lastly your entire argument about her credentials is stupid because I am certain you have found in your work sometimes the most "credentialed" person is a moron who clearly can't apply the info properly, my worst administrator was a women who had two doctorates, psychology and educational leadership, and could not apply it at all, but she had a position because the piece of paper said she could.

What were Gorsuch's qualifications, especially as compared to hers?
Academically she certainly objectively had the better record as noted above (but no high-powered mother to smooth the way, perhaps).
Why are her qualifications questioned repeatedly by conservatives, but not his?
Did you read what I said? I agree her paperwork qualifications from before the SC are top notch, it is her time on the SC that is making her look unprepared. She is great on paper but her application of the law is not up to snuff for the SC. Every field, especially mine, has the people with the Doctorates and every possible degree who can't apply them to even simple situations, and she seems that way.
9 hours ago, Joe Ferguson forever said:Were you raised in a home where the n word was used frequently?
No, but clearly the only reason you like her is her skin color. Her skin color is meaningless to me. The best part is I praise a black man during the post you quoted.

Not the question I asked. Nice deflection.
What were Gorsuch's?
To stick with the quantifiable, her academic credentials are superior to his, no matter how you slice it.
She made law review--he didn't.
Despite working 20-30 hours/week on law review as an editor (no matter how she got on), she graduated with the same honors he did.
The dirty little secret conservatives don't want to admit is that there are so few of them at elite educational institutions that they can almost instantly become public stars on the right, either on the bench or at think tanks. Smart liberals are relatively a dime per several dozen in those spaces. In his case, having a mother who was a Cabinet secretary under Reagan (a political nepo baby, if you will) certainly didn't hurt.Full disclosure--I was in his law school (and, coincidentally, also college) class. He was considered smart, but not brilliant. Obama (who graduated magna despite working 40 plus hours/week as LR EIC) was widely considered brilliant by people on both sides of the aisle. Didn't know Gorsuch in college, but did know him socially in law school through mutual friends (including Ken Mehlman, former RNC head who ran W's 2004 "Guns and Gays" campaign that maligned gay people to whip up the base--of course, 5 years later Ken comes out of the closet--and says "oops!") and got along with him on a personal level even if my politics are very different (much like the worlds we came from). Very disappointed in him on the bench so far, including his lying to the Senate at his confirmation hearings on Roe.
It is not a deflection, it is the reason. Her main qualifications was being a black women, Biden said it often. Until she started speaking I assumed she was likely well qualified for all the reasons you listed but she comes off poorly in every situation where she is in the minority. I disagreed with RBG often but she was a brilliant megal mind, KBJ is not similar to that and to pretend it is related to race when Clarence Thomas is just as black makes you sound like you incapable of seeing beyond your reason for liking her.

You know who didn't even make law review (and thus was spared working 20 plus hours a week on it in addition to classes) and "only" graduated ***** laude from HLS (just like KBJ)?
Neil Gorsuch.
Funny that no one ever questions his credentials, isn't it? Why might that be?
What was the primary qualifications for Bidens pick to the SC?

If Stafford wins the NFC West it is his, and I think rightfully so. If We win the 1 seed and Rams are wild card it will be interesting. At this moment I would vote for Stafford but Josh can be Superman at times like no one else.

No. It’s based on less men applying. They may well want to go but know they don’t have the grades/ scores. That’s becoming common.
your prose improved markedly from the last post. Did someone help?You giving me credit for using proper grammar while you are using improper grammar is hilarious. Also as for our initial discussion, you are acknowledging that it might be a different factor besides letting in less qualified men, which I appreciate.

Brown doesn't need tp promote itself. that's why the level of competition between the sexes is important Both want admission equally.. Played well, this is a ticket to prosperity or more.
This whole discussion is based on the fact that men don't want to go to brown as much as women, which is evidenced by the fact that twice as many women applied.

If you click on the post she argued with everyone that since those exact word were not on the ballot she is correct. It would be like me arguing that my vote for Trump did not mean "deport illegals" was on the ballot.

The complaint is simply that the only reason Hong that matters is money. Being a great football team is a distant second to making the tournament, and they can't even come up with a unified theory after the fact of what makes you belong where you are ranked
29 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said:I just don’t see any way Tulane or JMU are going to win the title so why take up bracket spots. Sue me for being “unfair to conference champs” but who can disagree with that premise.
There was no way Tennessee or SMU were winning it last year but were ranked that highly. Is the argument who can win it or who had the best season because I am sure Bama is not winning this year

splain...if there are 50 spots for 100 male applicants, and 50 spots for 200 female applicants, who has better odds under DEI.? without DEI, there are 100 spots for 300 applicants , regardless of gender (numbers are for illustrative purposes, not precision). male odds decrease, female odds increase with elimination of DEI.
You are trying to tell me you were a doctor who had to diagnose things and this is the only explanation you have? Possible explanation that are more likely, the two largest majors are computer science and Math and Stats, which are both male dominant majors. Brown also likely promotes itself more to females making it more likely to get female applicants. Now if they show stats that indicate the males are getting in with lower SAT and ACT scores then I will agree but nothing has indicated that and the headline shows no understanding of what it is presenting.

No because they'd still have the advantage in common games if we both finished 13-4 and they'd win the tiebreaker. If we beat them next week we'd need to run the table and they'd have to lose two of their last three games (Ravens, Fish, Jets) to win the division. I think. LOL.
According to ESPN playoff machine we win based on conference games if they lose to us and then another AFCE team.

Matt Milano is not washed up

Milano when healthy is an impact player, the issue the past few years is he is not healthy enough.
