👍🏼 I did a simple Google search of how many people are killed every year by medical malpractice in the US. The answer was 250,000 to 440,000. I asked how many people every year were killed by the police and it was about 1,300. So the average person is more than 300 times more likely (30,000%) to be killed by a doctor or nurse than the police. Also note that nearly anyone can be killed by medical malpractice but the number of people who come into dangerous confrontations with the police are extremely limited. The situation is almost always initiated by a criminal suspect, not the police. So for the average citizen he/she is probably 500 times more likely a person dies at the hands of a doctor than the police (and most are justified unlike medical malpractice) yet do the medical professions get disparaged because of those statistics?

We'll be live from Houston Sunday and Monday from 11am-2pm with a great cast of college and TXHSFB head coaches, so join us for free if you are jonesing for some TXHSFB talk!! Also we'll have a special live edition of TepAndStepp Tuesday AM at 9am on the final day of the convention

Still being researched, we don't know if it was poor decision or right decision. All I know is when the lights come on behind me, I pullover and turn my vehicle off, roll my windows down, take my wallet out and put my hands on the wheel....... If I get shot, it will be so obvious it was the cops fault, there will be no need for research.

Probably not fair to judge the whole ICE program by a couple of poor officer decisions. Just like cops, a couple of poor decisions doesn’t make the police bad.

Oh the outrage!!! Lower a flag? How about just standing up...which is what the entire dem side of congress couldn't do for a young black boy suffering from brain cancer (State of the Union)...or mothers of the women who were raped and murdered by illegals. You're talking about 1 man lowering a flag when your entire party can't even muster enough integrity to stand.. LOL at the selective outrage!

Ahhh the age old question, is the coach or the players? Seems to me the actual answer is somewhere in between…

Bannon is a scumbag. But LOL at anything related to "threat to democracy" or "pillars of democracy" coming from a dem, whose party unilaterally installed an unelected Kamala as their candidate. And is about to hand-pick a senator replacement for your rapist in Maine.

You remind me of one of those people who can't accept when they are wrong. They keep trying to prove their theory, and all it does is dig a deeper hole. Just stop because you know damn good and well that PNG's staff, Carthage's staff, is not rolling into Vidor and winning WITHOUT the help of Jimmy's and Joe's transferring in.

Not the players huh?!?! So, when Vidor was playing against players like James Brown, Leeland McElroy, Tiki Hardeman, Adam Dunn, Clint Stoerner and a ton of other players... Vidor had a chance if they had better coaching?!?! Or when Vidor's heaviest offensive lineman is 200lbs playing across from D-lineman that avg. 250... not the players, huh? Or when Vidor's fastest player runs a high 4.7 and their opponent has multiple players run 4.6 or better... not the player's, huh? Better coaching would have those players running faster and putting on more weight and would of had them competing against players who had great high school, college, and pro careers, huh?!?!

Area head coaches scheduled Sunday 1pm: Josh Smalley, Bridge City Monday 11:30am: Hiawatha Hickman, WOS 12:45pm: Kyle Coats, Humble Atascocita 1:15: Willie Gaston, North Shore

Because Vidor is always loaded with athletes. No reason why they should not be winning.

The theory cant work for any team. Channelview improving slightly wont help NS. But NS playing at a high level has definitely elevated SC and CEK. What is unique about Jasper is the tradition of success. Crumedy went 4 rounds deep into December just 3 years ago. 2018 we met them at Lamar in the 3rd round. We all know the expectations with the new staff in place. This will be a major improvement over the next few years.

Where is the evidence Mueller threatened to put anyone in jail for life? I just can’t fathom the idea of wishing the death of another human. If someone maliciously threatened my family illegally I would want them prosecuted to the full extent of the law. But dead? That goes against my Christian beliefs.

Core inflation does not include food or energy…..you know the 2 things we use daily and sometimes multiple times a day. When I see those 2 things come down I’ll clap but hey that’s great news.

It’s a public forum… people are gonna discuss things lol

Jasper getting better makes us all better

It only took 3 post for Trump to come up....lol You brought up Trump in a post that had NOTHING to do with him. Why? Mueller went after Trump and his entire family over bogus information. If someone went after my family and threatened to put them in jail for life, I'm sure I'd feel the same way if it was malicious......

Couldn't get the sweep but we got the series dub over that other team. 💪🏾 1st place in the division. On to the all-star break........

Interviews monday and Tuesday.

Astros are currently 2 games back of Texas. Houston is 47-50, Rangers are 48-47.

Semi finals

I usually research my posts before posting them. I didn’t on this one. My apologies.

Lol, per Grok. Like I said we’re still being played. He’s not playing 9D chess like you think so. No, this is not true—it’s sensationalized hype, likely from a clickbait video or post. youtube.com The core claims (a “secret geopolitical chess move” by the US and Oman that stripped Iran of its Hormuz leverage, trapping them with a surrender-or-global-war ultimatum while the world was distracted by “ceasefire headlines”) do not match available reporting. Here’s the actual context as of mid-2026: Background on the Strait of Hormuz situation • The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments. Iran has long claimed significant influence and has threatened or disrupted shipping during tensions. • There was a US-Iran war or major conflict phase earlier in 2026, followed by a fragile memorandum of understanding (MoU)/ceasefire framework in June that aimed to reopen the strait for normal (toll-free) commercial traffic. apnews.com • Tensions flared again recently: Iran (or elements acting in its name) attacked vessels in/near the strait, violating the understanding. The US responded with strikes on Iranian targets, declared the ceasefire “over” (while agreeing to continued talks at Iran’s request), and reinforced naval presence. foxnews.com Trump’s statements and US position Trump has repeatedly stated that the strait must remain open to everyone as international waters, with no single country controlling it. The US has positioned forces to “watch over” it, helped facilitate ship transits (including “Project Freedom” and reported secret operations moving oil), issued sanctions, and set deadlines/ultimatums for Iran to stop attacks on shipping. dw.com This is public rhetoric and policy, not a hidden revelation. Oman’s role Oman (a neutral mediator with ties to both sides) has hosted or facilitated talks. Iranian and Omani officials have discussed “safe passage” mechanisms, bilateral issues, and possible joint arrangements for the strait. There have been proposals involving fees/service charges (which the US opposes for an international waterway) and coordination along Omani routes. aljazeera.com This is diplomatic mediation and bilateral talks, not a secret US-Oman plot to “strip” Iran’s leverage. Shipping has continued with risks, US naval support, and alternative routing emphasis. aljazeera.com The “ultimatum” The US is demanding Iran publicly affirm the strait is open and stop shooting at ships as a condition for de-escalation. Talks continue in Oman. Iran has pushed back, cited errors or factions, and insists on its rights/sovereignty. No credible reports describe Iran as “trapped with nowhere to turn” or facing an all-or-nothing choice that inevitably triggers “devastating all-out global war.” bbc.com Why the claim is misleading • Exaggerated drama: Ceasefire violations, strikes, and talks are ongoing and reported—not a “hidden maneuver” while the world was distracted. • No evidence of a game-changing secret deal: US-Oman coordination exists in the context of mediation and freedom-of-navigation operations. Iran’s leverage is reduced by military pressure and parallel routing, but it retains territorial waters, rhetoric, and some disruption capability. aljazeera.com • Typical clickbait framing: These posts often mix real tensions (Hormuz incidents, Trump statements, Oman talks) with conspiracy-style hype to imply imminent catastrophe or genius 4D chess. Real risks exist—disruptions to energy markets, escalation potential, and fragile diplomacy—but the situation is fluid negotiations backed by military posturing, not a cornered Iran on the brink of world war. Mainstream coverage (from multiple outlets) reflects this without the apocalyptic spin.

Last year, La Porte lost their DC to Shadow Creek. Now, LP’s All District Edge/OLB Caden Watson transferred to Shadow Creek. Was curious why he wasn’t in DCTF mag. Now, I know why.

This feels like an “argument for arguments sake” topic.

Lol

And every kid that has played for him during those 11 state titles has all been from Carthage? No extra Jimmys and Joes... all from Carthage

I agree. I see WO-S winning this one by 3 TD+

Will be a good one for WOS. Game will not be competitive. WOS will be able to name their score.

Awesome staff… doesn’t mean they go to another school and start winning without the jimmys and joes.

So you are saying it's never ever the players when a team loses a game or has a losing season. No matter what it's always on the coaches. Regardless of any situation or circumstance, it will always be the fault of the coaches when a team is not successful. I believe you are stating opinion and not fact. Which is perfectly fine but don't claim it as fact. You posting a coaching record is a fact but doesn't necessarily tell the whole story. I think several folks on here have given you examples of a coach who won a state championship but overall was not very successful. Like you always say, your entitled to your opinion but not your own facts.

Sorry about that... it was not directed at you. I should not have quoted you. That was more or less a post for people who think they know everything about Vidor because they read a stat line or look up some historical data.

Never trust MaxPreps

Where is this roster? If it's Maxpreps, don't believe it.

Dems are out of control with their constant outrage towards one man who is having to clean up the absurd mess they created. I bet Trump is their first awakening thought…..pitiful. Hate is a strange, but effective motivator.

There is no evidence in the public record. That doesn’t mean a few haven’t thought it or even said it privately. There are no statements on the record, however.

Yes for D1 they would essentially replace Teague and whoever left that district.

I can agree with that. I just can't say that no sitting president has ever done it besides Trump.

You don’t even realize the idiocy of your logic. If Democrats were cheating they would be the ones in power. That and the fact Trump is 0-11 in the courts trying to prove it. It is an insidious lie.

Already have one area head coach booked!

I understand that completly, I was just meaning with growth and the time it's going to take to get to that point, it would only be a guess as to which division they would be in.

Won the series with the astros. Friday W 7-3 Saturday L 3-9 Sunday W 6-5 Heading to the All-Star break in 1st place in the West. The next series will be in atlanta starting Friday. Season record: 49-47

[Hidden Content] Trump is. Clearly not fit to run this country. Funny but not. SMH

Took 2 out of 3 from the angels. Tuesday W 8-3 Wednesday L 1-13 Thursday W 7-6 astros come to town for the last series before the All-Star break. Season record: 47-46

No sir. It’s the hypocrisy of the left who only scream if it’s Trump. Administrations have been compared throughout the ages. Only the left cries foul.

Prices are rising. What cult do you join to misspell boys? You were absent on the prices coming down. Was it deliberate or did you just forget? Anything for you to whine about. Got it.

Vidor coaching staff is one of the best. Multiple high-quality coaches. Coaching has not been the issue at Vidor.

Mariners lose again but the Astros lost also. Rangers and Mariners tied for 1st, Astros 2 games back.
