Wait what? Just curious how they can be legitimate but also pump up their #s by 50%.
The irony was that Omicron did what the vaccine was supposed to do. Super contagious but extremely mild form of the virus that gave everyone antibodies to fight off future versions of Covid.

I remember when the news was touting how “contagious” Omicron was but conveniently did not mention that its severity was on par with the common cold (slight fever, body aches, fatigue, etc) and only lasted a few days.

Every min of the game is important. If you can exploit the 2nd unit of another team while not sacrificing getting your 1st unit exploited then that seems like a winning philosophy.

Now this has real world implications and is more than just soap opera type stuff.
We spent a relatively high draft pick on what we thought could be a franchise QB. It’s looking like he could be that guy. This feels a little different in that there feels like there is more to this late run.

Is she questioning the Brown and the MIT professor killer? That’s the one that seems most questionable as to the motive

Like an Olympics style thing of some sort? I’m a sucker for this kind of competition.

Well Kirk was murdered bc of his political beliefs. Reiner’s murder had nothing to do with his political beliefs.
Good QB on a rookie deal is the secret sauce for winning NFL games. If they think Shough is it then they need to try to win starting next year.

Family life of a high level coach is just tough for raising a family (especially college bc you also need to throw in recruiting). Constant moves, long hours, stressful conditions and probably the biggest kicker is not being able to actually coach your children.

I’m no political strategist but it just seems this was just as much the Rs doing to make the case that this race has national implications. The reason being that Rs want to show that this person is the type of candidate the Democrats want and not the “moderate” candidate that the Bill Mahrs of the Democratic Party are preaching for.

I think he has missed 2 regular season games in his entire career.


I believe one missed game was due to Covid contact tracing (or that could’ve been Demario).

Let’s not forget how great Cam has been at knocking balls down at LOS. He is a true 3 down DE

Honestly imo the longer he plays, the lower his chances of making HOF. Also weren’t Freeney and Ware pass rush specialists. Cam strength has always been that he was great in all phases to include knocking down passes at the line. I remember looking math a year ago and he had 60 “passes defended” over his career.
Cubs over Braves however Skip Carey over Harry Carey

Then you go to how many batted balls he’s had at the line, I’m not sure if that’s a tracked stat or how far back that stat might go to compare against NFL history but that’s just another component to Cam’s game that couldn’t be taught & made him well rounded.


It is tracked as “Passes Defended” the same as if a DB knocked a pass away. FWIW, his passes defended stats are comparable to JJ Watt and are top 10 all time for DL.

Also and this is just my opinion but it appears that Cam is well known and well liked among his peers and the media which definitely helps his case.

I think Lost had a general idea of where it was going to end. That being said, Bad Robot made the perfect sci-fi drama a few years later in Fringe. They had a plan, didn’t go too long, and final season was unreal TV.

He knocks down a ton of passes as well as being stout against the run and elite pass rusher for much of his career.

All private schools recruit students. The govt is not paying the student’s tuition so they actually have to convince people to go there and someone has to pay for them to attend.

The charter schools are the ones with the biggest advantage. They can cherry pick and tuition is covered.

Imo JC’s biggest advantage (outside of really caring about sports and that pride is deeply entrenched through out the school) is their middle school. Those kids are leaning the JC offense starting in 4th grade. Come senior year those kids have been in the same system for almost a decade.
