October 1, 20251 yr Author Just now, mattwill said:Nits are lice eggs/egg sacs. Nit picking is done by one person going through the hair on the body of another person and removing the eggs/egg sacs. White folks developed the pejorative term in order to emphasize their own cleanliness and the uncleanliness of slaves. Have you heard the phrase "cleanliness is next to Godliness"?Yes

October 1, 20251 yr From Roobs observations in 411:7. It was an odd game for Hurts, but we should point out that with 24 passes Sunday, Hurts has now thrown 241 consecutive regular-season passes without an interception. He broke the franchise record of 233 set by Nick Foles in 2013. Hurts has now gone 10 straight starts without an interception, tied for the 3rd-longest streak in NFL history. Justin Herbert had an 11-game streak last year and Tom Brady had an 11-game streak over the 2010 and 2011 seasons. Jared Goff in 2022 and 2023 and Derek Carr in 2018 also had 10-game streaks. Since throwing four interceptions in the Eagles’ first three games last year, Hurts has thrown 360 passes over 16 regular-season games with just one interception. He’s the first quarterback in NFL history to throw at least 300 passes over a 16-game span with one or fewer interceptions.

It is who I am.It's 2025.... we have enough stuff that is labeled prejudice ( how about that as a replacement word...lol) I don't think we need to add the term nitpick.

Why be either insensitive or obtuse?

I think you are splitting hairs, nitpicking, being a little anal, how ever you want to put it. I just saw a clip of Marcus Spears saying " we are nitpicking here, as we talk about a team we feel is a contender for the Superbowl" Former NFL player 300 lb black man, are you going to write a letter into ESPN explaining to Marcus that he is a race ist ? CC me on that, I'd love to read it.

CC me on that, I'd love to read it.I will gladly write that letter. I will post it here. Splitting hairs and being a little anal are very good alternatives. @cunninghamtheman would do well to use them.Good thinking.
