Jimmy's and Joe's beat X's and O's.

But that evolution is not always for the better, is it?

Four yards and a cloud of dust is better. You score faster that way. 🙂

My high school head coach back in the day did this exact same thing.

https://mises.org/wire/federal-government-owns-92-percent-student-loans-why-do-politicians-lie-about-it This is a bad bill, and as the author states it's just a revenue making shell-game to completely nationalize all of higher education. I heartily encourage all of you to contact your duly-elected representatives and express your displeasure with this bill, and urge your representative to replace it with a bill that would cancel all federal-backed student loans and shut down the the federal loan program entirely.

Agreed, RPO schemes should be banned in traditional 11-man Indiana high school tackle football. Let the scoring is everything zealots take it to to their 8-man football "game".

L.A. Bureaucrats Shut Down Restaurants for Selling Groceries Without a Permit: https://reason.com/2020/03/31/los-angeles-bureaucrats-barbara-ferrer-shut-down-restaurants-for-selling-groceries-without-a-permit/ Entrepreneurs can't be "clever", even in the face of a pandemic. They must conform to the state's will, or be destroyed. As one of the spot-on comments to this story states:

What goes around comes around.

Agreed. "Four yards and a cloud of dust" is still the best offensive scheme out there. It scores points and it controls the clock. This RPO crap is all about running plays "fast" because "we the people", and it trickles down to coaching staffs, now consider 140 points debacles as "good football".

SIA shutdown, GE Aviation furloughs, Arconic layoffs follow slowing markets: https://www.jconline.com/story/news/2020/03/31/coronavirus-ge-aviation-furloughs-arconic-layoffs-follow-slowing-markets/5099695002/ The Lafayette area economy is dying. Of course all the government workers at Purdue are probably safe regardless of whether the campus is open or not.

Indiana extends dine-in ban for restaurants and bars: https://www.indystar.com/story/news/2020/03/31/indiana-extends-dine-ban-restaurants-and-bars-covid-19/5099472002/ And how many more restaurants, bars, and nightclubs will close their doors, never to reopen? How many more hard working Hoosiers will lose their jobs, and now have to depend on government "largess" to survive? Perhaps that is the end game after all..................

No we don't do the same thing. While I believe Mr. Trump is a bad president and an even worse person, my opinion of him doesn't descend to the mindless hatred and derision you and others with TDS have of the man whenever you see him, hear him speak, or read his tweets.

Either do I. Hypothetical: If I walk up you gonzo and say "please slap me in the face" and you comply have you violated the ZAP? Either do I.

You are the one with TDS, Gonzo. Not I. I call out Mr. Trump for his myriad of bad decisions and policies, you call him out on practically everything he says. You hate the man, admit it.

No, just can't keep up with your level of TDS. How many people in the U.S. have currently died due to a lack of masks and other PPE?

"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law', because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual. [...] No man has a natural right to commit aggression on the equal rights of another, and this is all from which the laws ought to restrain him." - Thomas Jefferson Yes, a crackpot theory. If you want to go down this road, gonzo, I'll ask you a question: When did you stop beating your wife?

Hmm, I don't recall another country being mentioned in the article I linked to. FTA:

This statement just shows you how ignorant of the ZAP you really are. What part of "consenting parties/adults" do you not understand? Please elaborate.

My opinion of Mr. Brown's and Mr.Schwarzenegger's actions are irrelevant to the story. I just laid out the facts. So based on your statement government should only purchase additional medical equipment and supplies after a pandemic has already occurred. How logical.

Possibly. We all have them. Frankly if more people followed the ZAP it would be a better world, don't you agree?

So you want a utopia. If the resources being used by the dropped sport are redirected to other activities then it is a win.

How about California, who under the Democratic leadership of Governor Jerry Brown failed to maintain or just gave away it's stockpile of 50 million N95 respirators, 2,400 portable ventilators and kits to set up 21,000 additional patient beds. A stockpile authorized by then-Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger: https://revealnews.org/article/california-created-a-massive-medical-reserve-with-acute-care-beds-ventilators-and-n95-masks-and-let-it-collapse/

Sure it is.

Notice no government workers have been put on the unemployment rolls since this scare started. Are are all of them really 100% essential? Thought Experiment - what would be different about our lives today if every government worker at the state, local and federal levels had no paycheck as long as the Emergency and the business closures continue, just like every restaurant and bar owner and every waitress and every hair stylist and on and on with the working Americans who have been deemed "non-essential"? What if the entire government was without pay and throw in no health benefits until the whole country returns to work? That would include Dr. Fauci, and Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell and President Trump. No pay and no airline trips and no signing ceremonies no new government spending bills and no press conferences. You must stay in your own house, for the good of the children. The National Guard will be at your door to make sure you are safe in your house till this is over.
