Thanks for an answer and that's the thinking I have.

Congrats to him.  Not trying to be rude or ignorant just never understood why African Americans constantly refer to themselves as royalty.  Does anyone have a explanation or know why?

It’s more of a younger generation thing to call people king/queen, not really a race thing

I have but that's a lot different IMO than saying here's another future king,.   It's just something about the culture I don't understand. Not saying there's a problem with it, just trying to understand. 

Say what? Or do you consider a sexist reference to your daughter is more "normal" than a prideful label for your son.

Princess con-notates a frilly, useless spoiled woman, King expresses the hope your son will be a leader of men.

So which is preferable?

I didn't say that I liked little girls being called princess, just that it's used different.   My well behaved niece has been told she's a little princess, just like lots of little girls have been.  My nephew has never been called a king.

I was merely asking a question in the differences in cultures.

Evaluating Hurts a month into the season

 

Remember how he fumbled nine times in four starts last year? He’s fumbled three times this year. Remember how he was sacked 13 times last year? That’s down to eight. Remember how he kept turning the football over? Six last year, two this year. Remember that 55.2 passer rating last year after halftime and how it supposedly proved he was easy to figure out or something like that? He’s got a 98.8 passer rating this year after halftime.

If you stop obsessing over a missed throw here or a bad decision there and watch Hurts play football, you’ll see a kid filled with confidence and poise who’s getting better before our eyes.

 

I don’t want to go too deep into the comparison game, but a lot of peoples’ expectations are ridiculous and out of whack.

Consider this: Hurts has thrown 12 touchdowns and only 5 interceptions in his first eight starts, and only 14 other QBs in NFL history have done that. Among them, Dan Marino, Kurt Warner and Aaron Rodgers.

Sitting here four games into the season, Hurts is top 10 in interception ratio, passing yards, passer rating, yards per completion and yards per game. Not to mention the 3rd-highest rushing average in the league.

If the season ended today, he’d have the 5th-highest passer rating in Eagles history, the 4th-highest completion percentage and the 4th-best interception ratio.

But the season doesn’t end today. Hurts has 13 more games to learn, to work, to study, to practice, to improve.

Maybe it won’t happen. Maybe he’ll just never find that consistency. But I like what I’m seeing. He’s got a chance.

And if you’ve already made up your mind he’s not the guy, I just have to wonder what you’re basing that on.

I know you believe his personal business is his own.  He is separated from his wife and she has the three kids.  Could have been any kind of thing where he thought driving was the best option.  I will be driving to Texas in a couple weeks.  Sometimes the drive can clear the mind.

Of course, just curious to me.   I likely would have flown if it were me.   I didn't mind a long drive years ago, but since my back went south... no thank you.

 

As for clearing the mind, I suppose that depends on where you are driving... maybe in TX and OK.  but around Philly, Baltimore, DC, NY, etc... 😠

It does?   I thought princess was to a girl what prince is to a boy.. Prince fits 'future king', and guess who princes would marry most frequently.. yes, that's right a princess, who would become queen.   

 

Don't tell Princess Elizabeth, turned Queen Elizabeth she was a useless spoiled woman, nor Queen Victoria, who was Princess Victoria before that?  Catherine the Great?   Shall we continue?
