I’ve been saying for years, they need to focus on helmet technology to keep players safe so they don’t have to change the rules on where you can hit someone.

I’m sick of seeing BS targeting penalties called when it’s clear the defender did everything they could to hit low but the ball carrier starts falling and takes a glancing hit to the head.

I don’t think I’ll ever forget Trent Cole getting called for contact to the head against Payton Manning when it was literally Coles pinky and ring finger grazing the back of Mannings helmet. I had an epic meltdown when that happened.

Me too. I remember that well. I was livid. I believe it happened on a 4th and goal they didn’t convert on.

Yeah it damn near cost us the game. Also earlier in that game there was a terrible helmet to helmet call on I think maybe Kurt Coleman hitting Austin Collie I think. The hit was clearly to the shoulder and no where near the head. 

25 feels about right for Hurts when you consider his mobility. Without it ...

OTAs next Tuesday.  Wonder who the media darling will be.

Will the media even cover much?  There was hardly anything on their last OTAs, the one prior to the draft and after.

 

Local media coverage has gone downhill in a huge way over the years.  Especially bad these last couple years.

Mosher and Caplan said the Eagles will continue to interview more people to replace Weidl in addition to Brown and Hunt.

There's a restaurant in York with the same name and I just can't shake what The Eagles Nest means to an entirely different generation.

Media Bias/Fact Check says: Overall, we rate The American College of Pediatricians a Questionable Source based on far right-wing ideology, promotion of pseudoscience, poor sourcing, and 3rd party labeling as a hate group.

Wikipedia entry includes this: 

The American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds) is a socially conservative advocacy group of pediatricians and other healthcare professionals in the United States.^[1] The group was founded in 2002. In 2005, it reportedly had between 150 and 200 members and one employee; in 2016, it reportedly had 500 physician members.^[2][3] The group's primary focus is advocating against abortion and the adoption of children by gay or lesbian people. It also advocates conversion therapy.^[4][5]

The organization's view on parenting differs from the position of the American Academy of Pediatrics, which holds that sexuality has no connection with the ability to be a good parent and to raise healthy and well-adjusted children.^[3][6][7] ACPeds has been listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center for pushing "anti-LGBTQ junk science".^[4] A number of mainstream researchers, including the director of the US National Institutes of Health, have accused ACPeds of misusing or mischaracterizing their work to advance ACPeds' political agenda.^[8][9]

Skins fans HATE Snyder. They love this ish. One buddy of mine I used to work with once said, "I just worry that Snyder is younger than me and I’ll never see the team in new hands.” Any politician that gets Snyder out of there will win every election forever.

Snyder is going to be done soon. That whole report about owners looking for votes to oust him was put out because they are close.

So Howie wanted to trade him after the concussion in the playoffs? I will say he did self report the symptoms but I am assuming he was told he couldn't go back based on an evaluation by the onsite doctor.  https://foxsportsradio.iheart.com/content/2020-01-10-carson-wentz-was-cleared-to-return-vs-seattle-self-reported-concussion/  

Howie’s a snake and this report isn’t surprising. Didn’t Howie make similar statements to Lane that may have led to his re-injury in 2018? Also think Lane reportedly made a similar statement that he couldn’t work with Howie.

You chose the terminology.   But you singled out one country struggling with its obligation under treaty with the indigenous population as opposed to other countries.  

Religion has long run into conflict with science.  Paleontology, for example, and the creation theories of almost any religion.  (Interestingly, some religious contexts, including Greek, Roman, some Native American and Semitic, all contain a great flood, that is documented in the geologic records when the ice dam broke at the end of the last ice age in North America, so sometimes they overlap.)   As long as we have religions that will likely be true and we see it reflected every day, all over the world.  Is it better to have the religious, cultural basis taught without science contrasted next to it. Or do you object only when the religion isn’t filtered through European beliefs?

Study the writings and discussion that underlay the development of the writing of the Constitution, and you will find "elitism” based property ownership (the Larry David commercial is meant to be sarcastic but hits bitterly close to home.). Yet you don’t bemoan the laws restricting the teaching of "indoctrination " in history classes.  Do you object to not teaching of the "elitist” patriarchal underpinnings of our Country’s origin that treated women as second class citizens with limited property rights and even as chattel to be bartered from father to husband?  Do you object to an honest discussion of the compromises made as the Constitution was written to appease the slave states (misidentified as critical race theory)?  To not understand the impact of race, immigration basis, and gender in the shaping of our society isn’t "woke”, it’s history quite prevalent in the recorded record.

Let’s define the "elite”.   Is it the public school teacher?  The college professor?  Or is it the moneyed interests that by ownership and preserving what is theirs, decline to believe this science of carcinogenic exposures, feel all resources are there to be taken now, regardless of the impact on future generations, that believe climate change is an "inconvenient” science that needs to be laid aside because it is a financial hindrance?  Is it the carpet bagger (NJ) TV personality or the carpet bagger (NY) hedge fund guy that think they deserve to be senators because they can outspend all others.  Or maybe the rich kid rebel, who seems to think he can be a Kennedy (yeah, both major parties have elitists).  

You and I agree that political correctness or wokism goes to far sometimes.  When it stifles the ability to see multiple sides, absolutely.   So does the opposite side of the spectrum where some seek to prohibit or limit certain things from being taught because it doesn’t match with their beliefs.  Indoctrination  of a culture to a European basis is no better.  Just look at our own history in that part of the world with the Hawaiian islands.  Usurped their government for financial pursuits.  The "missionaries” and their children the direct benefactors of oppressive laws undermining the rights of the native population culminating with outlawing of teaching their language, religion and culture.  We took a similar approach with our own native peoples, from "missionaries” teaching the religions of our culture to the exclusion of theirs, through to the point of outlawing ghost dances and violence against, forced cultural change from a nomadic culture to a European farming one, to the "schools” their children were sent to where native dress, culture and language were not permitted (and a dirty little secret, native religion absolutely refused and an indoctrination in the religion of the school).  Sounds like New Zealand at least attempts to honor their treaties with the native peoples. 

I don't know how we got crosswise on this.

My point was simply:

Religion (of any sort) is not science and should not be taught in a science course. If one wants to teach a comparative religion course, fine. One can teach Maori history and culture without conflating it with science. New Zealand is weakening science and science education by accommodating Maori mythology in science classes.

Points of clarification:

1) I use "elites" in much the same way as John McWhorter does - to describe the  products of exclusive schools (Harvard, Yale, Stanford, etc.) that dominate news rooms, publishing houses, entertainment industries, law firms, financial institutions, governmental institutions, political parties, etc. throughout the country. 

2) I'm an atheist so I have no preference for Judeo-Christian-Islamic mythology over any other mythology, although I do find appealing the idea of flying horses, serpent-headed women, one-eyed giants, and mischievous and randy gods.  

3) I believe that unvarnished history (and civics) should be taught in schools. I also believe that science should be taught in science courses.

Beautiful view from the York restaurant.  Perched where it is, aptly named. Haven’t eaten there in years but had a damned good steak when I did.

That penalty against Cole I'm convinced was a betting trend call.  That allowed the Colts to beat the spread in a game where 85% of Vegas betters had the Eagles.
