That's No Moon

I agree with you that following the agrarian calendar is stupid. Teachers don't make the calendar. The school board does and they are able to change it as they see fit. The school board is elected by the community. If the community wants to do away with summer break they can do it. Your complaints sound more like a complaint about your family members. I like my job and I chose my profession. I don't need you to kiss my rear end to do it just don't crap on me for doing it. My overall point from my first post hasn't been answered. You want me to teach penmanship I will. The community sets the curriculum, not the teachers. What DON'T you want me to teach to make time for that?

You think it's easy you're welcome to come in and try it.

A whopping 5 yard average tonight.

And they already have a QB that was better than anything the AAF put out there. The play in the AAF wasn't bad but the QB play was putrid.

When a defense doesn't gameplan for you or throw a bunch of exotic looks at you and you are playing against grocery baggers it's a bit of a different game.

A. My students all have Chromebooks to do their work on. B. Teaching penmanship takes significant instructional time, particularly for many students with disabilities. C. I only have x amount of time per day to work on a student's goals. Please prioritize for me. Reading, Math, Science, Social Studies/History, being a decent human being, penmanship. D. I, as an employed fully functioning adult in 2019 with a family and a mortgage only handwrite my name in my actual daily life. E. Those who wish to hold schools accountable do not test penmanship, therefore, instructional time is not devoted to penmanship. I'm sorry if this comes off as overly snarky but I've had this conversation many times. There are skills that increase and decrease in importance as time passes. Right now, the importance of good penmanship is as close to zero as it has been since the Middle Ages. We could teach the kids blacksmithing or make them fluent in Sanskrit too but it's unlikely they will use it much. If all I do now is write my name, what are kids going to be doing 30 years from now when they are my age?

Well, if a Sugar Daddy wants to pay my way I wouldn't decline but my son's hockey schedule is a major problem. I'll be lucky to see more than a handful of games on TV this year let alone in person. You'll notice I've been pretty selective in the games I've picked to drive up to. Notice who is missing. That's not accidental and it helps my win percentage. I've come up with my parents and my wife most of the time which means nothing later than the 2nd week of November generally and when you know you're only doing one game in a year, that you are buying tickets for in July, that's 7 hours away you want to try to pick one they will win. I know that makes me lesser, but I'm not putting down the money and the time to watch Brady kick them in the balls for the 18th time. Yes it means I missed the one time we beat them. I'll get over it. I've seen better wins. In fact, God Bless YouTube. I was showing my son some games from 1990 on YouTube. He's 13 and he's never seen the Bills be good. He's heard the names of Kelly and Thomas et al but until then he never saw them play so it was cool to be able to share cool moments with him that way. Last night we watched the Bills/Broncos game from 1990 where they scored 3 TDs in 77 seconds and we watched Bills/Jets MNF when Thomas ran for 218 yards on 18 carries (yet somehow didn't score a TD).

Ha! A couple more than that but my win percentage is pretty strong given their record over that time. I think they've lost 5 games I've been to since I moved away. Seattle, Tennessee, Cleveland, Kansas City and Cincinnati. I've seen them beat Miami x3, Jets x2, Kansas City, Seattle and San Diego.

You fingered it all night just to go to bed disappointed?

Man, that whole website is full of things that really just make you want to have a giant meteor crash into the planet.

Here's my question, will that company insure Johnny? If they will I don't want them as my insurance company.

Silent auctions also don't operate with some dude walking in and boldly announcing he's going to win the silent auction. So there's that.

Right, but what if I only want the weekend in Mexico and the fruit basket comes up first. I can just run up the bid on the fruit basket, let you have it eventually, then take the weekend on Mexico without you in the running because you shot your wad on a fruit basket.

No, it's one tweet combined with a player being dressed and held out of practice entirely with 0 explanation.

I know you are kidding but McCoy and Edmunds for Keuchly and McCaffrey. Yes or no? I think the Panthers say no.

OK. I believe you Chris. WHY WAS NSEKHE SITTING OUT?!?!?!?!?! Clowney isn't the only player in the league and if the question posed is only about Clowney it's super easy to truthfully say "Nope, we aren't trading for that guy."

I agree with you. But it's more aggravating that none of the actual journalists have asked about Nsekhe's absence from practice today.

You asked the wrong question, Tim.

So long as those guys are asking questions, why don't they just go ahead and ask why Ty Nsekhe didn't get any reps today??? I mean, THAT is the thing that's driving this conversation right now is it not?

What does Khalil Mack feel like? I'd guess firm...and bumpy...

He's either held out of practice in full equipment because a trade is possible in the very near future or he was held out of practice for a disciplinary matter. Body language doesn't really tell you either way on that. Either way, Ty has to know why he was held out. Either he knows he effed up or the team had to give him at least a nugget that something was up even if they didn't give him all the details.

I do now, but I didn't earlier. I blame Incarcerated Bob

?

He's been reading our board... Hi Bob!

OK, I'll play. Nseke and Lawson to Washington, Williams to Houston, Clowney to Buffalo
