I'm also surprised there was no flag. I didn't think you could slam a QB to the ground like that anymore.

it was a football tackle

Been through a few hurricanes in my life but never storm surge.  Can’t beat the ocean.  Feel for the folks in FL today.  

As a member of the property and casualty insurer community, claim handlers that venture in after storms are heroes too.  Dealing for months with folks that faced their lives uprooted and destroyed, trying to find temporary housing and dealing with contractor and building supplies limited, while living in conditions similar to those dealing with the loss. One of our mobile units was literally a mobile laundromat. People were so thankful for its availability (all free, regardless if you had insurance with us).  

And talk about "socialism”. Subsidized Federal flood insurance, FEMA grants and Small Business loans.  Add in our charitable support for groups like the Red Cross and disaster volunteers. Already seeing donation gathering happening here.  Times like this where we show empathy and support for our fellow citizens are unifying.  It makes the heart swell when folks are saying "how can I help?”

Ike took a family home from a couple that were friends of my family.  I remember sifting through the sand trying to find anything of theirs.  My dad had been a senior Girl Scout leader for their daughters and my sister a fellow Scout with them.  One of the things lost, of course, was family photos.  My dad and sister went through their own photos and reached out to friends who did the same.  I was a classmate with one of the girls and a friend of another’s high school boyfriend. We reached out and gathered photos of the girls and present an album of photos gathered to the couple.  The tears from them had us all a little wet in the eyes.   Fires, floods, tornadoes and hurricanes devastate and folks impacted often times lose everything. There is a limitation to what insurance and aid can do.  It’s times like that when we can say, how can I help.

How do the bengals not have a cart or something to help him get to the hospital faster than just the stretcher

Id assume there is an ambulance right next to the field in one of the tunnels. A spineboard to a cart creates the need for an extra transfer. Right on to the stretcher, they can roll him right in to the ambulance. 

It might not be quicker to use a cart.

Boo you!   That’s the kind of dog we might get next because my wife sneezes a lot.  But we love dogs so she suffers.  Plus they don’t shed.  Our beagle shed a lot and our basset also sheds a lot.  

I had a friend that had two beagles, they never shut up, always howling, though their howl is pretty cute 

My aunt had a bassett when we were kids, great with kids, super mellow, seems they like most pure breds have lots of health issues☹️.

I know a couple of people with doodles who were told they don't shed but they've told me theirs does and others that theirs don't 

My dog weighs about 80 lbs so she's playing with bigger standard or large sized doodles.

Reggie looks like a mini doodle, which like the other posters said is a good dig for laying around and chasing balls.

My wife is also allergic, she didnt used to be she grew up with cats and dogs and when I met her had two cats but for whatever reason  she became allergic🤷‍♂️

Eagles are going to be the last unbeaten after 1 more half of football.

When was the last time a 3-0 team was the last unbeaten team in the nfl?

Not sure. Its not very impressive.

But we should be able to stretch it a lot further than that. The schedule is favorable.

Yeah. Not sure why they didnt. I didnt pay attention to where he was on the field. Maybe it was close? Probably no sense in driving it like 30 yards if thats all it was.
