I wouldn't bother with France personally; it's full of French people.  If you can ignore that issue, then it's ok 😉. Prague is great though

Don’t you worry, I’ll be in Aberdeen for New Years 2024!

OMG, what is with the Phillies ?? Making a guy take BP in 107 degree temperatures.

There was a point where I'd say there was no freaking way Howie gives Hurts a contract if he doesn't significantly improve his passing ability

After the Murray contract I'm now not sure

I think, for the Eagles brass, Hurts is the QB of choice for now because they don't see a logical upgrade option short of an elite QB.

It's been pretty well documented the Eagles checked in on Watson, actively tried to acquire Russell Wilson, and contacted the Jets about moving all the way up in the 2021 draft.  In spite of what they say publicly, their actions seem to indicate clearly they want to upgrade at the QB position.

I believe the only way Hurts gets an extension is:

1.  His passing takes a Year 3 leap, as you said

2.  The team goes 12-5 or better with Hurts remaining below average (highly doubtful)

3.  The team goes on a deep playoff run with Hurts catching fire -- NFCCG or SB berth (highly doubtful)

Good luck with that. It'll be dark for most of the day and full of drunk people...  And that is just a normal Saturday in Winter, let alone when New Years happens.  However, I can recommend the deep fried mars bars and Irn Bru is great for hangovers.

Sure, but I think we can look at different countries and believe that certain punishments are draconian.  Like stoning people to death as a punishment for adultery in some countries is  extreme.  Also, you didn't say that she should have paid more attention to the law, you said that it couldn't have happened to a better person.  Which I take to mean that she somehow deserves 9 years in prison for other misdeeds that have nothing to do with the drugs. 

She kind of deserves whatever comes to her for not caring about the laws of a country one the rule of a psychotic dictator.

So how do you think the refs will be this season?

That's awesome.  All joking aside, Aberdeen contains BrewDog who are a very good brewery, if you are into that sort of thing. Weather depending, you may get to see the Northern Lights too

Netflix has a 3 part series on Woodstock 99 and how much of a disaster it was.   I don’t remember it being discussed or reported at the time.  But anyone in here go to that?   Looked like a mess.  

Watched it last night.  Pretty good documentary overall.   Although in typical netflix fashion, they go way too hard on the "white male bad" angle.  Despite all the chaos, only 3 people died over the entire weekend, mostly from drug overdose issues.  Not bad, all things considered.  

Unfortunately, I was in Korea in 99.  But it's definitely the kind of party I'd have tried to be at before joining the military.  😆

 

Don’t worry.  Hurts was bad today because of injuries to others

Cute, but I mean America hating a-holes. Sure, we can have some, but when it gets to a level of destroying our country it's time to do some cutting to save the vineyard.

Also, learn your history or watch Roots. They mostly sold their own people into slavery. I fixed your misspelling for imprisoned as well

There's a difference between people that hate America and people that hate what America does or doesnt do and demand better.

Having said that who did they sell their own too?  We could have bought them and freed them no? Instead we enslaved them, beat them, raped them, bred, them and killed them.

Interesting that apparently all you took from that movie was that black people in Africa also had black slaves and somehow that absolves the US of slavery???

Thanks for spell checking me, I actually knew it was misspelled as it had a lite red line under it when I typed it out but I really couldn't be bothered changing it, too busy ripping on the US

By the way maybe you should learn some geography, America includes Canada and S. America, along with the US, I said nothing about hating our neighbors in the north or south.

 She did something stupid but it's like people who cheer for the deaths of the unvaccinated or someone speeding.  I don't think it is humane and necessary.

She won't be there long.  Biden will have to pay a steep price to get her back, but he'll eventually cave.  Not that he gives a crap about her.  He wants the votes.  It's all about the optics.  

We do this all the time for white people who don't garner votes. Nor does she really matter politically, no one is going to vote based on getting her back.

Griner probably brought her vapes in for years without an issue, this isn't about "justice," b/c there is no "justice" (procedural or substantive) in Russia.  There is no "rule of law." One day they don't care, the next she's sentenced to 9 years.

They just made an example of her b/c we're supporting the Ukrainians, and want bargaining chips to trade for their KGB arms dealer.

 

Now if you want to talk about Anti-American behavior, I'd say an organized campaign to spread fraudulent rumors and claims about a legitimate election, then attempt a violent reversal of that election, is about as "Anti-American" as you can get - some might call it treason on the same level as Aaron Burr. Far worse than sitting during the National Anthem, especially by those who took oaths to uphold the Constitution.

Google Liberia and the American Colonization Society. 

Not sure what point you are trying to make??? only a little over 2000 black freed slaves from the US made it to Liberia.

Many died of tropical disease once there or on the way there died.

The American Colonization society didn't want to immigrate freed slaves out of the US out of the goodness of their hearts they did so be cause they feared those freed slaves would try to free other slaves, they still viewed blacks as " subhuman" and thought they would be better off somewhere away from their more civilized society.

The abolitionist we're in opposition of the American Colonization society as well. 

Having said that again not sure what your point is unless you are trying to minimize US slavery by claiming that there was a small society that wanted them to go to Liberia after they were freed because they thought they as sub human didn't belong where they had been for generations..

I think Watson should play this year while the appeal plays out. Then be suspended for most or all of next year. What are his annual pay rates again?

TATW.

Only one speech worth watching this weekend for the HOF and that will be Dick Vermeil.  Can you imagine the water works we’ll see?  This HOF is filled with guys who I don’t think are worthy.  Pretty weak class.  But looking forward to see D Vermeil speak.  

Branch is a no doubter.

Boselli and Mills, worthy for sure.

The rest, nothing really special.

Bryant Young is the one that makes me just shake my head in wonderment.  He was a very good DT.  But, the HoF isn't supposed to be the Hall of Very Good.

Yes, we must bring up both. Glad someone remembered the liberal talking points.
