    I turned 38 today and have lost 52lbs since February. I’m very rarely ever proud of myself, but I’m feeling pretty proud today and thought I’d share. Carry on.

  • At this point, I’d like to see a former HC on the staff, but the biggest coaching news left is whether Stout stays.  BOOOOOOOOM

I’m a Democrat , let’s say I lean democrat   , but I don’t believe one dime of tax payer money should fund abortions , I am also pro life , except in rape , incest ,  mother’s health cases .

but hell , that is just one of many tax payer subsidies , I don’t believe in .

per Forbes

As best I can determine, taxpayers subsidize roughly 24% of all abortion costs in the U.S. with 6.6% borne by federal taxpayers and the remaining 17.4% picked up by state taxpayers. If we apply the 24% figure to the total number of abortions,  this is equivalent to taxpayers paying the full cost of 250,000 abortions a year, with about 70,000 financed by federal taxpayers  and 180,000 financed by state taxpayers


How much did the ongoing war in Iraq cost in taxpayer dollars as well as total lives lost ?

So abortion is your solution to a choice to engage in sex ?

again , I stated reasons when I would find abortion acceptable , and a broken Trojan wasn’t one of them , you did the deed now man and woman up 

and finally , for the last time , not one of my tax dollars should be subsidizing , other people’s bad decisions or choices when it comes to abortions

all I have to say on the subject 

Unwanted pregnancies 

Tobacco use

Alcoholism

Drug abuse

Fat is where it’s at

refusing to get vaccinated

Taxes on all who abstain, those without sin

No idea, but since they paid him 3rd most of the UDFA’s to sign I’d think they would keep him around if it was just minor. 

Yeah I posted either before the cut or before I saw it. Couldn’t they also bring him back during camp assuming nobody else claims him?

You’re getting senile 

It’s the same old self righteous dbags.  

Yeah, who’s the self righteous D bag who brought up the divisive topic that is best suited for CVON ? Probably one of those guys that chastise’s people for having a different opinion. No talk about taking it to CVON if you agree with them. I guess nothing will stop them even though takin to the wood shed last fall

Yes, Medicaid pays into it. About of a third of it is Medicaid and Title X

And yes, I dont want my government pissing money away with a terrible business structure thats not needed any more. In fact you back up my point by bringing up the founding fathers. Things have changed in the mail delivery system in the last 240 some odd years. 

 

The problem is general is too many people are allowed to vote and quite frankly not every vote should be equal. Ya, I said it. 


Sore loser, 2 senate seats per state no matter how populated. You should be laughing all the way to the polls

But people here believe it. A LOT. 

Hurts is a glaring example

99% of the fan base was angry when he was drafted. 

Media tells us he's a good guy and wentz is a meany. 

We beg for hurts to Start. 

He starts, doesn't do anything specials, media tells us he's a great teammate and amazing as a person around our community. 

About 14 months later you got guys shouting from the roof top that Hurt's is the real deal, and now he's going to be our future. 

 


Same petri dish practically and he outplayed Wentz. Everything is relative

How many games has he won???

Hes 51-51-2 in his career and 1-3 in the playoffs 

Like I said he puts up stats but he doesn't do enough to move the needle.

If hurts puts up 4000 yards a year and 25 tds but never wins any playoff games who cares???

Mcnabb wasn't a big stat producer he was rarely tops in the league in pass yards or pass tds yet he was a winner and won a lot of games and playoff games, sure he choked in the big ones but unlike cousins he at least got there 

Hopefully hurts can be more like mcnabb without the choking rather than cousins who just puts up meaningless stats .

Sonny Jurgensen is in the hall with a record of 69-71-7 and a post season record of 1-3. Dan Fouts career record was 86-84-1 and 3-4 in playoffs. Are they average QB's?

Yea agreed I don’t care about what went wrong with Doug/Wentz anymore. That story has already been beaten to death. Don’t get me wrong though it’ll be interesting to revisit that story in several years when the wounds aren’t so fresh, and coaches/players will be more open to talking about it with their perspective.  But for now there’s a new beginning in the Eagles franchise, and I care way more about that. 

Lots of people are curious about what went wrong and I suspect there's more than we've been told so far. If there's more to the story we likely won't hear about it until those who it reflects badly on are no longer on the scene.

Viruses don't "want" to do anything. Rather, you have billions of mutations, most of which do nothing, but some will create a strain that is more contagious, which is likely to be more deadly because the two are correlated, what makes it more contagious is a higher viral load in the host, which also makes it more dangerous. And other mutations may change the mechanism of infection, which might cause it to be dangerous in different ways. It's sort of rolling biological dice, eventually with billlions of hosts, and trillions of viruses mutating, every possible permutation will be tried.

You just don't know, and viruses can swap DNA, so it's possible that somewhere in South America, the coronavirus and another virus swap enough DNA to create a new virus that's far deadlier.

Right now deadly variants are infecting people who had the first wave of COVID in both Brazil and India, and those strains have arrived in the US. Because it's winter in the Southern Hemisphere, that's where the most deadly wave is currently hitting, but come October (only 4 months away, with class rooms filled), if we've only vaccinated 60% and infected unvaccinated people are vulnerable, look for another wave with possibly a higher death rate for younger people.

 

Highly doubtful, imo. 

The talk about Cooper at the Raiders was that he was always dinged and would eventually miss more and more games as his career went on 

  • Author

Knowing that this was a much shallower draft class, we need to recognize that many of this year's UDFAs would not have even made a team in prior years.

The fact that the Eagles only signed seven to begin with sort of reinforces that notion.

I think you could say of any player they will eventually miss more and more games as their careers go on?

Cooper misses 1-2 games a year basically, which I think is fine. He averages 119 targets a year, so he's clearly on the field more than he is off it.

You could, but he was a level or two up from most players.  Hence why the Raiders were happy to take the pick and move on.

Running with the football, yeah.  Anything else, nope.  There was very little to be encouraged about in Hurts’ performance last season.

Well the Raiders were wrong. It turned out to be a bad trade for them. They took Jonathan Abram with the pick they got, who has played a whopping 14 games over 2 years. Meanwhile Cooper has missed only 1 game in Dallas.

When 10% of those with symptoms too mild to get hospitalized may have long-term effects, including impacts on long-term mortality?

Hey, I'm all for stupid people not getting vaccinated, hopefully they'll die before they breed or become a burden on the medical system.

But I wouldn't hire anyone who refused to get vaccinated, businesses have the right to discriminate against employees who engage in risky behavior to themselves and their co-workers.

hipaa says otherwise.

I know he's probably a camp body, but that Michael Walker guy they just signed has some pretty interesting highlights. Would definitely have more special teams value than all the projected #4 or #5 WRs on this team.

I'm not judging what they did, only the cost/benefit of retaining Cooper as a Raider.  Esp when you consider the cash flow issues the Raiders had in the end of their time on Oakland; they thought it was wiser to move on and take a pick for him.

The fact their WR corp hasn't been great since is kind of funny, but c'est la vie

I think the Raiders just didn’t want to pay him. There were reports back then that they were pretty cash strapped. Same thing with Khalil Mack.

Hmm?? HIPAA doesn't apply to most businesses. A place like wal mart has the right to ask for proof of vaccination. HIPAA doesn't apply in that scenario.

Thats too easy. Jackson and Ward are our 3rd and 4th QB options now so they have to be locks to make the team right? 

I mean we are a QB factory and we can;t just have 2 in the production line.

As an employer you can't force people to show you their vaccination card
