I usually do. Do you?

Yep. Mr. Biden has fully embrace the progressive leftist scourge of identity/race politics. What a person looks like and how "woke" they are comes before their objective qualifications. Most of academia has succumbed to this regarding their hiring practices.

No, they were not.

I don't know. We'll see how it goes. After getting burned by the last few Bears HC hires better to not get that excited.

It should. And I believe many, many youth today are not playing tackle football completely of their own free will but are doing so under duress and pressure from parents, other family members, educational professionals, and peers. And they are putting their bodies and minds at risk. Risks that don't become apparent until maybe decades down the line. There are medical professionals and former professional football players out there who won't let their under-18 children take that risk, and champion other parents do the same, because they have either seen the results of taking that risk are currently living with those results. And it is not pretty. But hey, Friday Night Lights! What can beat it? Right? The rest of your response? tl;dr

There you go Mr. Grover. Getting closer! I asked simple questions in this thread. I find it puzzling why they can't be answered simply and directly.

So what? If you want that kind of compensation then why aren't you a CEO?

I knew a couple people back in the day who were not Packers fans, they were Brett Favre fans and would follow him fervently even after he left Green Bay for the Jets then the Vikings. I wonder if the Mr. Rodgers has the same kind of following?

Yeah, and maybe a certain quarterback would want to play for his old coach, with whom he once won a super bowl with.

Your sarcasm and arrogance is noted. Not yet on the level of the famed Roncalli Horde, but you Center Grove jamokes can keep trying.

McCarthy to the Bears?

Ok. Give them Dalton and Foles, along with some cash.

I wouldn't. Let the Bears ownership spend some $ for once and just buy out the remainder of Mr. Payton's contract. Cash talks.

I wonder if Mr. Poles know that Sean Payton may now be available.

https://reason.com/2022/01/26/gretchen-whitmer-kidnapping-plot-entrapment-fbi-trial/ "Big Dan" was no passive spectator: After initially alerting the authorities that he was involved in a Facebook group for militia members in which violence against police officers had been discussed, he agreed to become an informant. The government paid him $54,000 for six months' work. When the militia group surveilled Whitmer's vacation home, it was Big Dan leading the charge. According to the group's defense attorneys, Big Dan—an Iraq War veteran—took charge of training the other men in military tactics. And that's not all: Big Dan's FBI handler, Jayson Chambers, had a side hustle. Chambers was attempting to build a security consulting business in the midst of the investigation; it's easy to see how his desire to create a brand for himself could have led him to encourage Big Dan to nudge the plot along. BuzzFeed obtained a resume that Chambers had shared with prospective clients, and in that document, he took credit for using "online undercover techniques" to investigate terrorist groups. According to BuzzFeed, Chambers has a long history of participating in FBI investigations of Muslim youths who were enticed by law enforcement to become involved in wholly theoretical violent plots, according to their defense attorneys. Chambers is no longer slated to participate in the trial. Another government asset, Stephen Robeson, worked as an informant during the investigation, but is no longer involved after pleading guilty to various felonies. And the government's star witness, FBI Agent Robert Trask, was fired by the agency after beating his wife following an orgy at a swingers party. Suffice it to say, it's very hard to tell the cops from the criminals in this matter. The court may determine that none of this matters, and that even though the defendants were clearly goaded into action by the very law enforcement agents seeking to ensnare them, they still made the colossally stupid decision to proceed. Historically, victims of entrapment have had a tough time prevailing, no matter how duplicitously the FBI behaved. But in any case, it is now clear that Whitmer was in no real danger. At all stages of the alleged plot, the FBI was aware of every facet: Their agents and informants were intimately involved—not just surveilling the militia members, but actively offering guidance on how to pull off the kidnapping. Yet Whitmer has become a more sympathetic figure on the national stage because she is perceived as a victim of former President Donald Trump's reckless rhetoric and emboldening of right-wing domestic terrorists. "Every time the president ramps up his violent rhetoric, every time he fires up Twitter to launch another broadside against me, my family and I see a surge of vicious attacks sent our way," wrote Whitmer in an Atlantic article titled, "The Plot to Kidnap Me." The thrust of her piece is that Trump's criticism of governors in blue states inspires real violence, and she cites her own case as a near-example. Trump undoubtedly said many things that were vile and wrong, but the person most responsible for the Whitmer kidnapping plot is the FBI agent who greenlit this farce. (Ironically, in a speech condemning Trump for egging on right-wing terrorists, Whitmer thanked the FBI for thwarting the plot.) Many conservatives have become committed to the idea that the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was not the work of Trump supporters, but rather, elements of the so-called Deep State. There's no evidence for that; the Capitol riot is one of the clearer cases of Trump's remarks leading to actual mayhem and violence. The Whitmer kidnapping plot, on the other hand, was extensively directed and encouraged by agents of the government. It's a much, much, much, much more persuasive case of Deep State nefariousness. I guess these FBI agents just need something to do............

But is there ever punitive action doled out by high school coaches for incorrect tackling techniques? Unless the the player who got tackled is injured (most likely a concussion) or the tackler is flagged by the officials for some reason I would bet not. Maybe just a feeble comment during a film session. After all in my above scenario the player made the play that won the game, right? And are these children made 100% clear of the risk involved? Not just risks during a practice or game, but risks to their future?

I would be ok with this hire.

Was perusing Mr. Harrell's site looking at how my high school alma mater is doing this season. Pretty well, 9-2, but what stuck out is that they haven't played a home game yet this season (Miami county tournament was hosted by North Miami this year) ! First one is this Wednesday when they host in-county rival North Miami: I'm assuming the scourge of Covid is the primary reason for this long, long road trip for the Braves. Just found it interesting and a little strange.

Apparently that North Daviess/Linton game has sparked the shot clock discussion yet again: https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/high-school/2022/01/24/ihsaa-basketball-should-indiana-add-shot-clock-high-school-debate-jaron-tibbs-cathedral/6587782001/ Note: article is behind a paywall

No, Chief. That is your conclusion. When all you have left is insults well, your part in the discussion is effectively over. Go away and let the adults talk. Because this is a high school football forum. Oh, getting dogpiled by the likes of Grover and Gonzo, reminds me of the good old days.

No, I'm looking for information about how coaches view the game of high school tackle football. So the win is the most important thing. Got it.

I hope so.
