Intentionally keeping top secret documents haphazardly around the house comes to mind. A lot of what came out of his mouth, torpedoing the political careers of republicans who didn’t fall in line? I don’t know that he all of a sudden became a beacon of moral light and goodness just because he got into office. Again, we’re not talking about policy, but what kind of person he is. If anything he seemed to get worse once he was in power as far as I could see.

I get all of the arguments, but part of being the AD is doing what’s best for all of your programs, not just football. And it’s not best for the baseball program for one of its best players to be hurt doing football drills right before the baseball playoffs. There are things he can be doing to get ready for football that don’t risk injury. And I also stand by the opinion that the football coach would not be happy at all if the kid got hurt in the middle of football season at a fall practice for varsity baseball. In fact I’d bet a whole lot of money that that player wouldn’t be allowed to participate in that baseball practice to begin with. I think a lot of the people that are okay with this would also be upset if the situation and sports were reversed, because they’re only really worried about football. But that’s just my opinion.

Kinda depends for me. Did coach mandate it? Tell the player he better show up? Or did the player want/choose to be there?

It better be mild. It's necessary during football season, but you shouldn't have other sport athletes going crazy on the weights in the middle of their other seasons. There's plenty of off season.

i think this is true to some degree. I even think various news sources (on both sides) will tout the ones that they think will galvanize voters, whether they reflect well or poorly on their candidate.

when kids play multiple sports in high school they should be allowed to focus on one sport at a time. There's no reason a baseball player who's about to go to the playoffs should get hurt running football drills in April. Imagine if this had been reversed and a star football player shattered his wrist taking mandated varsity batting practice in September.

only when we disagree with them.

they're the same ones republicans site when they say Trump's ahead, and that democrats quote when they say Biden is catching up. They're always super accurate as long as they agree with what we want to happen.

Pretty funny this list doesn't include Merrick Garland. I was fine with the result, but it was also total BS, and had dems done the same thing the right would've acted in similar fashion.

sure I can. Countless polls have shown it. Common sense dictates it, as does Biden's sub 35% approval rate. But hey, lets run the one guy who can muster up some energy on the left!

There have been plenty of polls (for whatever they're worth) that have shown other republicans polling much better against Biden in a general election than Trump. It's all irrelevant now. Hoping that it all works out and we don't get four more years of sleepy joe, but I don't want to hear a bunch of whining from the die hard MAGAs if we do.

it's a tie. what's hilarious is the superiority complex both sides have about it. I honestly can't decide what's worse: the left pretending biden is good, or the right pretending that if Trump doesn't win it's somehow the left's fault more than their own for not picking literally any other candidate, which would've resulted into a cakewalk into the oval office.

Woah

So did I 🤷🏻‍♂️. And will a third time. But I still find it insane that he’s the one the right is running out for this one.

I honestly don’t disagree with much or any of this post. My issue, and a point that CB is making, and that it appears like you agree with, is that we could’ve gotten very similar policy from someone like Desantis. And I truly believe he would’ve cakewalked to victory. Yet somehow the majority of the conservative right has put Trump back into the election. And by a land slide.

Do I think he’s changed? Not really. But if so, that would be great!

Instead of taking time to break down all of the things that Trump has done that make him a bad person or dirty, or immoral (and I refuse to believe that you're dense enough not to know about many of them) let me counter with a question: how many of the 88 charges Trump is facing have to be legit for them to mean something to you? You're trying to comingle policy with actions. I already said Trump's politics align much more with mine that Biden's. But Trump has a list of transgressions, immorality, crooked business deals, etc. that more than rivals Biden's and his family.

I STRONGLY disagree with this assertion, and you're just making my point for me by trying to say that Biden's corruption is somehow way worse than Trump's with a straight face. Trump's politics (or at least the politics that suit him) just align with mine significantly more than Biden's. They're two peas in a pod, but on different sides of the aisle. I'm sure if I was a diehard conservative all of his issues would seem like minor indiscretions or witch hunts, and if I was a rabid liberal old Sleepy Joe would seem like a strong president who didn't really do much wrong. But yeah, bless my heart for not swallowing the orange koolaid

There's a lot of irony in this post. You're right, if he was a lefty the liberals wouldn't say a word. But because he's a republican, the righteous right is giving Trump a hard pass on stuff that they've absolutely bombed the left for doing for as long as I've been alive, and are actually feigning indignation about the left criticizing his behavior. Y'all can hate CB all you want, but he's correct on this one. the conservative outrage over the left's character assassinations of Trump is hilarious. Trump is about as immoral and dirty as they come, and it's a real mind bender watching conservative Christians stump so hard for him, especially when Christian values and morality has supposedly been the backbone of the republican party all this time. And as always, I'll put in my disclaimer that I thought he did a decent job as president and will be voting for him in the election, so nobody throws TDS at me.

I don't know. I seem to have read a lot of posts on these nederland threads about how the players aren't dedicated enough to football. Seems this is exactly what some folks want. I'm hoping it was the kid's decision to go out there and not the new coach pushing for it.

Suspended anti-Israel protester moans about being kicked out of dorm after she was arrested (msn.com) Glad to see some of this happening. I'm sick of the anti-american and anti-Israel nonsense that's been allowed at some of the most prestigious colleges our country has to offer. In this case Columbia has had 108 student protestors arrested and trespassed, with Barnard college then suspending them from class and housing. This younger generation thinks they can do whatever they want. I'm glad the tides are starting to turn and these kids are starting to get a lesson in what happens when you act like entitled idiots. I know that I'm not as conservative as some of you guys on here, but for the life of me I can't figure out why there are so many thousands of anti-american foreigners up in the northeast. For me, the very first time you get caught participating in one of these protests, especially if you're burning flags, holding a sign criticizing america, etc., you're deported if you don't have citizenship. If you have a visa, it's revoked. If you weren't born here, you're sent to where you were born and not allowed back. I have no issue with diversity, but why on earth do we allow people to come here who hate us? Send them back.

I don't know who the other coach was, but this guy has no head coaching experience that I can find, and minimal high school experience. after graduating from college he spent a year each in defensive coaching positions on bad college teams before moving to high school. Not sure what he did from 2019-2022. He spent last year at cleveland, who was terrible. He may be great, and I don't care one way or another, but if Liberty passed up a coach with a history of success for a virtual unknown with no previous success at the high school or college level I'd be pretty frustrated if I was a panther fan.

Leclerc has cost us 2-3 games already, and lost his closer spot already. The bright spot in the pen has been Kirby Yates. He took over the closer role this series and saved his first chance, then today when the rangers scored in the top of the 9th he shut down Detroit in the bottom of the 9th to get the win. He’s 2-0 on the year with a save, pitching 7.1 innings giving up only 1 hit so far with a 0.00 ERA. Hopefully he’s found the form he had for the Padres from 2017 to 2019. If so he could be elite.

Rangers and stros both having this issue. Hader did pitch a 1-2-3 inning today, striking out the side. I was pretty upset the rangers didn’t sign him, but not at this point with how he’s pitched so far.
