The Frankish Reich

This is why you can’t have a rational argument with the “I saw a YouTube video about this” crowd. This is exactly what the vaccine is supposed to do: “I was exposed, but my body mounted a strong response and I felt like I had a common cold.” To them it’s proof that the vaccine is an epic fail.

Makes sense. There’s a reason he’s the GOAT. [ducking for cover]

I’m always hesitant to make that type of statement because, well, I’ll admit I’ve never been in the trenches trying to actually do it. But … you have a point. The offense knows the snap count. Other than a few Star type DTs, offensive lineman are generally bigger than their defensive counterparts, and their game is more about leverage. So I guess I don’t get it either. Anyone here who played on either side of the line who can explain?

“The Glamorous Life?” I had to check his social media. And I gotta say - he has just about the most boring FB page of any young rich athlete anywhere.

So this is what you find out when you play 16 (umm, 17) games. The O line is the weakest link. The D line is erratic but talented. We still need a RB who can get outside (I guess it's not Matt Brieda). Everything else looks just fine to me.

Yeah, but Spencer Brown ... ouch. He had a rough, rough night.

It was the right call going for it on 4th down. You don't want it to come down to a coin flip for who gets the ball first in OT (a huge advantage). Helluva game. Fun except for that nasty injury. Reminds me of why I'm an NFL fan. I'm not gonna worry about What It All Means. I'm just gonna say that was a fun way to spend 3 hours.

Also way off the mark. If I’m a health care worker my decision not to give blood doesn’t cause harm to my co-workers or the public I interact with. It may fail to alleviate harm to some person somewhere who needs a transfusion, but my decision doesn’t put others at risk. My example - the old favorite “Employees Must Wash Hands Before Returning to Work” posted above the bathroom sink is pretty much on point. And I haven’t seen any argument to the contrary ….

Ouch! What a devastating retort. 🙄 A vaccine mandate for health care workers (and I mean those actually physically present with patients, not someone doing medical billing from home) is like requiring restaurant workers to wash their hands after taking a dump. The consequences of not washing your hands/getting a vaccine don’t just fall on the worker; they fall on the customer too. Since when did all these so-called conservatives start arguing that employers don’t have the right to decide who they want working for them? If I owned a restaurant and let the non-hand washer (“I read on the internet that washing your hands too often selects for the survival of Dial soap resistant strains, so I rely on natural immunity”) stay on the job, I’d be sued as soon as the first customer gets e-coli. (I almost expect that someone will respond: but what if you were trying to make me wipe my butt with an experimental and unproven anti-bacterial toilet paper? That’s how absurd the anti-Vaxxers are getting)

Even assuming for the sake of argument that this is true .... then why not get the J&J vaccine? Ahh, the old favorite: "anectodal evidence." In other words, not evidence at all.

BillStime, I know this isn't for you, but at least you'll probably read it rather than parroting silliness like "experimental vaccine" -- https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02483-w As far back as 1978, scientists had used fatty membrane structures called liposomes to transport mRNA into mouse3 and human4 cells to induce protein expression. The liposomes packaged and protected the mRNA and then fused with cell membranes to deliver the genetic material into cells. These experiments themselves built on years of work with liposomes and with mRNA; both were discovered in the 1960s

Urban Meyer = Genius! No other coach would've been dumb enough to thrown to the middle of the field with 5 seconds left. Bring on the lap dancers!

Wow. That. Was. Unexpected.

Here's where the Canisius basketball player will show us what he's got!

Well, that was fun. But no way I'm sticking with this through OT.

Maybe that's why I'm enjoying it! Now I feel bad about myself.

what the hell was that? That's the play they'd been saving up as the Play that Saves the Season? Pathetic.

Flores, that's why you really go for it instead of the idiotic "let's try to draw them Offside." They netted about 30 yards on that punt. Tie game. (why do i find this game weirdly entertaining?)

12th start.

I don't see greatness there for sure. But maybe Ryan Tannehill style goodness? Definitely possible.

Yeah, it's one of my pet peeves. The most boring, gutless play in football.

A very accurate passer. Stuck in a pretty rudimentary offense.

Editing my earlier comment about the 2021 Jags being comparable to the 2018 Bills - the difference is Urban Meyer seems to be in over his head. So far.

I know I'm in the minority, but I'm not giving up on him yet. Guy is making his 12th NFL start today.

But what the hell is the Jags' D back doing standing over him and flexing WHEN THE GUY JUST BEAT HIM?
